Question: In Rabash’s article “What is: “The Torah Speaks Only Against the Evil Inclination,” in the Work,” it speaks of a Kli (vessel) in which a taste is felt. This taste is created by spices, and the spices are the Torah and light. How can we attract this light and spices in order to unite?

Answer: The answer is actually simple. The only way to attract the light that unites us is through a common intention. Try to connect with your friends, pray together, ask for unity, and you will succeed.

The Creator is interested in us receiving everything in the reflected light, meaning for the sake of bestowal.

Question: In “As Though Standing before a King“ (211), Baal HaSulam says that a person should be careful in all the material things that he receives so that they do not cancel out his Hisaron (spiritual need). How does the ten help a person in this?

Answer: Try, in your common desire for the Creator, to imagine that you are in front of Him, that you support each other, that you turn to Him together, and that you have no problems other than remaining in connection with Him. Be together with all your friends in the ten in the same direction so that the common aspiration for an even greater rapprochement with the Creator becomes constant.

You must try to see the Creator in front of you all the time and hold on to Him. If you constantly imagine that He is in front of you, then gradually you will succeed.

Therefore, a practical tool for your spiritual work is to imagine the power of the Creator before you. And when He answers you, i.e., draws you closer, you will begin to see the world differently.

Question: Under the open governance of the Creator does a person always feel only mercy and goodness?

Answer: Yes, of course. How could it be otherwise? He feels the Creator, that is, only positive effects on himself.

Question: Why do we say in some cases that if there is a plea, the answer is ready immediately, and in other cases we wait for years, months, or days for answers?

Answer: It does not depend on us. We should just increase our plea. If this is a true request, we should focus on it and direct it to the Creator all the time.

Question: There is a great need for the Creator in our ten. We feel that we really miss Him. What else do we need to bring contentment to the Creator?

Answer: We lack a real sense of the need for the Creator to become one and, in this unity, to feel that the Creator is in us.

Question: If the covenant of salt is the covenant of our hearts, do we need to describe some points of this covenant or will they play no role?

Answer: They will not play any role. Here everything depends on the purity of the heart and thoughts. This is the most important thing.

People who study in our groups, if they are also spouses, have a lot of help from above from the Creator. They can really achieve a lot if they mutually help each other in spiritual matters.

Question: Do we fulfill the Torah out of darkness or out of a desire for light? What is the difference?

Answer: Try to create connections between all the elements of creation, and you will see how close you are to fulfilling them. That is when you will feel if you are in the light or the dark.

Question: How do we resolve the eternal conflict between the evil inclination and the need to work for the sake of the heavens?

Answer: To do this, we are given a ten, a group, in which we are and with which we can get out of our own egoism. Get more involved in each other and see how much strength you have to move forward.

Question: How can we come to the feeling of darkness if we lack Kelim of bestowal?

Answer: You should feel from your efforts what you lack and pray that you will have Kelim of bestowal.

Question: How can we receive strength and mind from the Creator only for the formation of the soul and not ask egoistically for ourselves?

Answer: Only by doing good for the group to unite them even more.

Question: What does the correct perception of the outside world mean?

Answer: By the outside world, in this case, we mean the ten. To be connected with the outside world means to gather with all the friends of the ten in a circle and from within this circle, that is, in the connection between us, to appeal to the Creator.

Question: Is all that we feel as bitterness an action of bestowal, and all that we feel as sweetness reception?

Answer: Yes, in our uncorrected feelings it is so, for now.

Question: How do we come to the perfect prayer so that the Creator hears us as one person with one heart?

Answer: The Creator perfectly feels your states, your degrees, and your capabilities. Therefore, there is nothing to complain about Him, but only about yourself.

Question: As a rule, we turn to the Creator out of a state of despair. And if I am calm and reasonable, do I have a chance to be heard?

Answer: It does not depend on what state you are in, but on how much you need to turn to the Creator and what you turn to Him with. If you have such a need, then you will have a connection with the Creator.

Question: When a Kabbalist comes out from under the influence of the whole world and merges with the Creator, what happens to him?

Answer: He begins to feel the governance of the Creator.

He ceases to perceive his own thoughts and feelings, begins to feel the thoughts and feelings of the ten, and to this extent comes closer to the Creator.

To feel the Creator’s thoughts in the ten means the revelation of His plan—what He really wants from us.

Question: In what form does He convey this to us? In the form of some kind of feeling or state?

Answer: In the form of our thoughts. And we feel that they come from Him.

Question: Every desire revealed in us is preceded by four discernments of the direct light. How can we reveal this to see the Creator’s actions behind all our desires?

Answer: Only in our connection with each other can we reveal the system of unity, along which the light passes through all our friends onto each of us.

The light must pass through them, reveal itself in each of them, and then you, who are at the last degree, will also be able to reveal it. Friends stand above you because they are higher than you, and they are the degrees by which the light descends to you, from above to below.

Question: How do we connect with them in order to rise from below?

Answer: You have to help them, add your desires to them, your Hisaron, your pressure. And then, by this, you will push them up, rise with them, and receive the light you evoke in them.

This system is the ten Sefirot in which each of us works from Malchut to Keter, where Keter is the Creator and the intermediate degrees between Keter and Malchut are all your friends.

Question: What is wrong in our current state that dissatisfies the Creator?

Answer: He is not satisfied with our condition. He wants us to draw closer to each other internally all the time, to apply spiritual force, and then all together to draw closer to the Creator.

Question: Why should the suffering of creation be great?

Answer: Real suffering is a feeling of lack of correction. Therefore, the more we advance, the small distances from each other cause us great suffering.

Question: How do we properly undergo corrections so that there is no rejection from each other in the form of suffering?

Answer: In any case, there must be rejections otherwise we will not recognize where else there are qualities that need to be corrected. Egoism must manifest itself because without it we will not understand what to correct.
