Everyone has to build a connection from a person to a ten, and from a ten to a wider circle, and even farther and farther, until we see the whole world united together in one group. This goal should be kept in front of oneself as a desirable state of the world. If we strive for it, we will undoubtedly move according to the Creator’s desire.
Although the world is in the exact opposite state, in hatred, wars, and separation, we need to disseminate this message and do everything possible to bring everyone to unity, starting from ten, from our point, until all of humanity is united as one person with one heart.
It may seem like an unrealistic dream, but we are not required to realize it, we just need to ask and join the program that the Creator implements. Every person and every ten must participate in it to the fullest.
The main thing is to achieve unity, promote it, and stay in it until it becomes the aspiration of the whole world. And the world will definitely turn in this direction; everything depends on us. We are at the central point of all of humanity, and we only have to want. If everyone puts pressure on their heart, then we will certainly succeed.
We want to come to bestowal, Lishma, and complete unification with the Creator. But we also want to see the whole world united, so that people understand that there is no other way beside only one global union for everyone. The Creator will help us reach such a state, and we will all, with the whole world, ascend in the attainment of the Creator upon spiritual degrees and thus fulfill our destiny.
As a result, everyone should know the Creator, “from the smallest to the greatest,” as it is said: “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” The house of the Creator is the desire to bestow that governs over everyone and connects everyone together through mutual ties. We need to disseminate this knowledge so that everyone understands; whether we want it or not, this is the program from above. And we live in the era of the last generation when it must be realized.
People should know that regardless of their desire, this happens according to the program of creation. And if now we feel states that are the opposite of this goal, then this is the path leading from Lo Lishma to Lishma that lifts us from the animate degree to the human degree, to the degree of the Creator.
And in fact, this is not such a distant goal. All this happens inside humanity, inside a person, and it does not take too many years and superhuman efforts. If we listen even a little and attune ourselves to this goal, then this change will happen in us.
You can win at the expense of quantity, but you can win on account of quality. Let’s try to win with quality if there are not so many of us quantitatively. But we need to make sure that there are many more people around us who will understand and agree that this is how it should be. And although they will not rise due to their own work, they will at least accept this idea. After all, every day it becomes more and more obvious that there is no other way out, and only if such a correction is made in us from above, we will be happy.

The main thing is to imagine yourself always standing before the upper force, which is one, bestows, good, and leads to the goal. If I direct myself toward the goal, I will always feel goodness and a good attitude to myself. If I yearn for the goal, I will always see that everything is aimed exactly at this goal, in order to help me reach the image that I have to mold from myself.
Everything is arranged to make me similar to Him. Everything that happens in my life are just exercises that are placed before me every moment so that I can form myself with their help.
If a person organizes himself in this way, he will be happy that he is in the process of forming his personality to become a man, Adam, which means “similar” to the Creator. Then he sees that there are no evil and hostile forces in the King’s palace, but everything is done for his benefit. Only the Creator accompanies him and “embraces him from front and back,” from all sides.
Everything is arranged only for the sake of adhering to the Creator, as the purpose of creation.
Therefore, if at some moment a person feels bad or uncomfortable about the purpose of creation, about the Creator, or about the surrounding reality, it is a sign that he has not yet brought himself into balance with the conditions given to him, nor in agreement with “the good who does good,” with “none else besides Him,” and has not connected with the quality of bestowal so that it would reign in him.
This is how we need to establish ourselves and constantly move toward complete correction.
If a person accepts all the conditions, causes, and accidents, and correctly uses the environment, the teachers, the group, and the study, and cares about them and about dissemination throughout the world, if he accepts everything in order to reach the quality of bestowal so that only a point of effort remains from him and everything else in him is filled with bestowal, this means that he is studying the Torah Lishma.
That is, he turns all the strength he has received—all his powers, qualities, and abilities—into a form of bestowal. He wants to rise above his quality of reception in such a way that he does not feel that it really exists so that only bestowal would rule.
If this is the desire of a person, he is called a sage, Talmid HaCham (a disciple of the sage), and is studying the Torah Lishma. After all, he learns from the sage, from the Creator, and receives examples from Him at every moment of his life, and strives to attribute them all to the force of bestowal, to one force that is good and does good.

Being on the verge of Lishma is a very special state. I am glad that we have achieved it, and we can already, all together, help each other and try to enter Lishma. Even just getting closer to this state is also a huge achievement.
Lishma is a quality of the Creator, but we can already grasp it, understand it, and feel it.
Concerning Lishma [for Her sake]. In order for a person to obtain Lishma, one needs an awakening from above, as it is an illumination from above and it is not for the human mind to understand. Rather, he who tastes, knows. It is said about this, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati Article No. 20, “Lishma [for Her Sake]”)
To do this, it is necessary to make efforts, pay attention, have sensitivity of the heart, and as much as possible do this jointly, together. And if with all this, we do not feel any reaction, then we can only pray, that is, ask the Creator to listen to us and teach us how to turn to Him. Then there will already be a mutual connection between us.
On the one hand it is said that the Creator hears everyone’s prayer. But on the other hand this prayer needs correction because it is not raised by everyone from the correct place. After the transgression of the tree of knowledge, we were thrown far away from each other as if by an explosion and flew in all directions.
And now we need to gradually connect back together with the additional egoism that we received during the shattering. To do this, we need to feel how far apart we are and that we cannot get closer to each other and all together get closer to the Creator.
And since we discover that we are completely unfit for this, it is necessary to raise a prayer. Prayer should be as close as possible to our common heart, to the union of our inner desires. Therefore we want to reveal all the desires of our friends and unite them in order to bring everything together to the Creator to give Him our heart.
Try to imagine such a state and stay in it all 24 hours a day. Gradually we are getting closer to such work due to the desire to help our friends and be together as one man with one heart. We are trying to take at least a small step, but together. Otherwise, it will not work; it will not cause the right reaction.
Thus we take step by step in the direction of the Creator until we feel that He is coming toward us.
To take a step together means to want to unite so as to become a Kli to serve the Creator.
