Greater Responsibility

943Question: As we receive a new state due to exerting a significant effort, what should the right attitude toward it be? Should we try to remember the previous connection and take some power from there, does it disappear, or is it hidden from us?

Answer: We still have the same goal, but it is only much more explicit and better understood. We have the same friends, only they are much closer to me and I need them more. There is the same order, only it is more understandable to me, which causes me to have a greater responsibility in adhering to it (lessons, meals, and so on).

We must feel we have risen to a new level and have a greater sense of responsibility, not only for ourselves, but for others, the Creator, and the whole world.

Intention for the Sake of Heaven

961.2Question: Is it possible and necessary to maintain and develop an ascent, or is it a state of a degree where we can achieve nothing more since we have reached the highest point of the degree?

Answer: No, a person does not know whether it is the highest point of the degree or not. One must constantly strive to rise further by accepting the Creator’s attitude toward him as essential. In this way he forms the correct attitude toward his state and the Creator and always strives to ascend higher and higher.

Question: How can one maintain the intention for the sake of Heaven during this ascent?

Answer: One person cannot do this alone. It also requires an environment. You must gather with friends, talk with them, and discuss. In this way, a person will gradually reach a point where his intention and thoughts focus only on maintaining connection with the Creator.

Questions about the Quality of Bestowal

258Question: It is said: “We shall do and we shall hear.” Is this one action?

Answer: “We shall do” is an action, and “we shall hear” is a result. If my action or request to the Creator is for the sake of bestowal, then we will receive this quality and act for the sake of bestowal.

Question: What is the connection between bestowal for the sake of bestowal and reflected light?

Answer: Any bestowal, whether bestowal for the sake of bestowal or bestowal for the sake of reception, relates to the reflected light.

Question: The intention to achieve bestowal to the Creator may not be entirely pure. How is this corrected? At what moment?

Answer: It is corrected immediately on the spot. As soon as you have any desires, you should immediately examine them, and the desires above egoism we must use for the sake of the Creator.

Question: What is the upper light the Creator gives us for bestowal?

Answer: It is the light of the Creator that corrects our intentions. And then, with these intentions, we can act for His sake through our friends.

Question: If one of the friends feels a connection with true bestowal, how can he gently and correctly convey his feelings to the friends?

Answer: They will feel it themselves. Additionally, the friend can pray that the Creator helps him explain it to his friends without words.

Question: How can I understand that I am giving pleasure to the Creator?

Answer: You must feel it through your connection with Him.

Promote the Property of Bestowal

528.01Question: Your teacher Rabash said that one can still attend a lesson without intention if he has already arrived. If we did not establish an intention of bestowal before the lesson or a meeting with the ten, where should we direct our thoughts?

Answer: At least part of the ten should be in the correct intention, and the others can connect to them. The most important thing is not to be passive. If I have even the slightest connection with the property of bestowal, I must promote or express it within the group.

Question: Can the greatness of the friends be a minimally sufficient intention for a group meeting?

Answer: Yes, you should strive for this. When you feel that through this, you are working for the sake of bestowal to your friends, you can hope this action will also lead to bestowal to the Creator. He will unite you all and bring correction.

If We Were Perfect

947Question: We all must come out to the light as one, together. What is the proper work between us in order to achieve this?

Answer: It lies in the fact that everyone strives to emerge from darkness into light and does this for the sake of their friends.

Question: What is the help we give to one another if we see everyone as perfect?

Answer: If we were perfect, we would have no work to do. We would simply be in a state of absolute bestowal to one another, and this state would be called the corrected world.

So we should not consider ourselves or our friends to be like that. After all, we understand that we are all in an uncorrected state and must begin from this point each time.

White Points on White Background

594Question: We are supposed to be in prayer all day, and before we even turn to the Creator, He will answer. How can we reconcile these two points? It seems like there are many blank spots.

Answer: Yes, each point is a blank spot, and they all connect together. But in order to connect them, you must continuously move forward. Gradually, you will see how your points blend into a common white background, on which your connections with your friends and the Creator will begin to emerge.

The Soul Is the Intention to Bestow

608.02Question: The Creator gives the soul, which means intention. So does the quality of the intention define the soul?

Answer: The soul can only be formed when there is an intention to bestow. To the extent there is this intention, the upper light descends upon a person, shapes them, and creates them within the quality of bestowal. The intention to bestow is called the soul.

Question: How can we understand that we are coming closer to the soul? What are the correct indicators?

Answer: The indicators are the connection between you, and through it, the connection with the Creator. In this work, we only have two steps: to reach the quality of the connection between us in the ten and then to connect this ten with the Creator. That’s all. Nothing more is needed.

The Need of the Soul

544Question: What does it mean that through the ten I receive the mind, which is the true spiritual Kli?

Answer: It means that everything you receive comes from the Creator through your friends. You feel how it descends upon you and compels you to act. Therefore, something very interesting happens here, friends influence you with their thoughts and force you to perceive both the internal and external in spiritual work.

Question: What do my friends have that is not in me, and by finding it, I will be able to achieve correction?

Answer: There is a certain need in you to feel the common desire, the common aspiration of your ten toward connection with each other and with the Creator. This is the need of the soul.

Question: What does it mean to be the material of the Creator in the ten and how do we receive correctly from the ten in order to bestow?

Answer: For this you need to try to be together all the time in lessons and spiritual work, try to imagine, see, and feel how much you can unite by making efforts. In unification, you will be able to feel new opportunities, new desires, new intentions, and thus move forward.

How Can We Speed Up Time?

Question: It is said that first you need to act, and then you will come to the level of  righteous and receive strength in faith above reason. How can we do it? For example, there are friends in the ten who cannot come to class. It lasts for months. How can they gain the strength to rise to faith above reason?

Answer: With prayer. It is said about this: “If you leave Me for one day,” the Creator says to man, “I will leave you for two days.” This happens very firmly. Therefore, we must make friends come to the lessons, pick them up, stop by, call them, etc.

I know myself how difficult it is to return to lessons after a long break.

Question: You said the Creator leaves us for two days if we leave Him for one. How does a person make up for these days? How can one speed up the times?

Answer: Only through lessons. We study in the morning and at noon. Anyone who wants can also connect in the evening. So you have all the conditions.

When Is Prayer Born?

289Question: Is a prayer born when I make efforts with the right intention?

Answer: It all depends on the strength of our connection, on how much we strive for bestowal between ourselves and above ourselves so as to transform all our initially egoistic relationships into bestowal.

After all, we do not have the power of bestowal. We build it by rising above our egoism and beginning to reformat it into the ability to bestow. We make the Creator out of ourselves. This is what the Creator said: “You make Me.” We really create Him.

A prayer is born when I make efforts with the right intention, either when I cannot make efforts and understand that I am not able to make them or when I can make efforts, but I understand that they are wrong and at the same time I do not have any others.

A prayer can be for any reason; the main thing is that its final direction is to the Creator. Then it can be called a prayer.
