Question: Something constantly prevents a person and the ten from remaining in prayer. Then you start to search and ask yourself: “Why didn’t you ask?” But is it possible not to search for what’s disturbing me and instead learn to take pleasure and delight in the prayer itself?

Answer: To do that you must ask and turn to the Creator. Only in this way will He respond to you.

Question: How can we find that point and eradicate what keeps us from being in prayer?

Answer: I think your folly is that you do not want to close your eyes to everything except unity and from the point of unity turn to the Creator. He always responds to such a desire.

Question: Each of us has many different qualities, states, and desires, and it seems impossible to come to a common prayer. Should we focus on what we want to ask the Creator for together, or on Whom we are addressing and before Whom we stand?

Answer: It’s the same thing. You all stand together before the Creator. And if you gather all your wishes, prayers, and requests, He will surely hear them.

You can find your connection with the Creator and your connection with the entire world group, and these will essentially be one and the same connection. It will be one unified Kli in which you discover yourselves, your unity, and your bond with the Creator.

Question: Is prayer the result of the efforts we invest?

Answer: Yes, it is. But we cannot judge it directly. Yet if we truly feel how we unite with one another and sense the heart of the Creator, that will be the result of our efforts.

Question: What should a true prayer be like in order to receive a response from the Creator?

Answer: A prayer for connection with the Creator, for adhesion with Him, for Him to truly be your Creator.

I believe that we must feel our interconnection. Then our collective prayer will help each one sense that they are within the heart of the Creator.

Question: What is the difference between the prayer of many and the prayer for the many?

Answer: I think there isn’t much of a difference. Of course, they can be perceived somewhat differently, but in essence, if it is a prayer of many, it is already the correct prayer because it rises to the Creator from all hearts together.

What can such a prayer be about? For the many. That is, in this prayer, many ask that their hopes and desires unite and ascend to the Creator, and that the Creator would respond to them and act in such a way as is needed for them so that they may become as close as possible to one another and to the Creator.

Thus, the prayer of the many already contains within it the prayer for the many.

Question: What kind of prayer should it be if I need to give my heart to the ten, but it feels like a stone?

Answer: Then your prayer should be such that it dissolves the stony heart, turns it into a living one, and the Creator fills it.

Question: It is said, “Better death than such a life,” referring to a person driven to despair by his suffering. But the sources speak of spiritual suffering, not material. How can we transform material suffering in the heart into spiritual suffering?

Answer: If we understand what life and suffering mean, then it is not difficult to imagine what spiritual life and spiritual suffering are. That is within our power.

Question: Can a prayer exist without a request, as pure gratitude?

Answer: Yes, a prayer may consist only of gratitude.

Question: Is prayer a person’s private address to the Creator or is it an address from the unity of the ten?

Answer: It is your collective appeal to the Creator, one for which you seek a shared response.

Question: How can we reach the state from which a true and complete prayer arises? What must it contain and, perhaps, what must be absent from it?

Answer: We can reach such a state only when there is emptiness within us that we long to fill with the sensation of the Creator. Only then. Moreover, what we are now studying and trying to express in words, that itself is a prayer directed straight to the Creator.

Do not stray from it! Stay with it constantly! Feel how it fills you, and then you will sense how to truly reach this state.

Question: Many tens, especially new groups, are trying to understand what the right prayer should be. What would you advise them?

Answer: We need to open our hearts to one another, fill the hearts of others through us, and unite them. Then we will receive one unified heart with one unified intention, and the Creator will surely feel it. He will turn to us and fill us with His light.

Question: So they should be seeking this common heart, this shared Hissaron, day by day?

Answer: Of course. I would even say every second, every moment.

We must feel that we are connected in one unified heart, which the Creator raises higher and higher.

Question: Rabash and Baal HaSulam constantly write in their articles that only the Creator can help us. Each of us spends years trying to persuade, plead, or pressure the Creator in every possible way until we reach a state of disappointment in our own strength and come to a true plea from the depths of the heart. But that is a personal effort.

And now we all want to reach the state of “one unified heart.” What is the depth of this heart from which a true common prayer is born?

Answer: The unified heart is a unified desire that each of you, each one of you in particular, connects with the hearts of the others. You raise this collective desire to the Creator so that He would take it and begin to work with it.

I believe we are moving correctly and are close to this. Perhaps in this congress we will already feel the connection of the Creator with us.

Question: So we may feel it or we may not?

Answer: No, we must feel Him. We are practically already in Him, and we must feel Him in such a way that through our greater or smaller desires, through our connections with one another, we begin to interact with Him, that is, manage our connection with Him.

Question: When a person receives a true, stable connection with the Creator, can he mistake it for something else?

Answer: In general, no.

Question: Why is the plan of creation arranged in such a way that bestowal gives rise to resistance?

Answer: In order for us to reach the correct direction in our desire and intention, we need both the forces that move us forward and the forces that push us away from advancement.

Therefore, we must clearly understand the state we should be in now: in a continuous request to the Creator to unite among ourselves and with Him.

Question: How do we clarify our common desire in order to turn to the Creator in the right way?

Answer: By talking with one another. When you read excerpts from articles of Baal HaSulam and discuss them, common desires arise in you with which you turn to the Creator and ask for advancement.

Question: How is a true prayer connected with love for one’s friends?

Answer: A true prayer can exist only through the aspiration to connect with one’s friends. There is no other way.

So let us define this state in which we are completely united with one another and with the Creator.
When we build this state within us and direct it toward the Creator, we will feel how much closer it brings us to Him. At that point, we can pause and examine whether we have truly come closer to Him or not.

If we have drawn nearer in some measure, what do we do next? Once again, we raise our desire to the Creator in yearning to be together with Him. In this way, we constantly move forward in relation to the Creator, drawing ever nearer to Him.
