Question: If punishment and reward are concealed from us in the spiritual work, how can we work with them and focus on them?

Answer: You must correctly understand the difference between punishment and reward and constantly determine what the level of reward needed to be in order to move forward.

We cannot precisely measure this level, but we must imagine that it is above everything else. The reward in our work is partial or complete revelation of the Creator.

Question: How does the ten help with this?

Answer: It helps with everything because your friends also want to exist in this state, to feel spirituality, and to provide mutual help. Depending on this, you collectively engage in the work.

Judging a friend to the scale of merit means exalting each of them and putting them much higher than yourself. In this way we will be able to lift the whole group literally to the heavens. That is, everyone in the group will be able to be a great mediator between all its members and the Creator.

A person who is in a group of like-minded people should always elevate his friends, even if he sees some flaws in them. He must tell himself that he judges them as uncorrected because he himself has such an uncorrected vision. As it is said, everyone judges according to the measure of their depravity.

Question: But the group exists according to some rules. If I and others also see specifically that a person violates the rules of the spiritual work, should I still weigh him on the scale of merit?

Answer: It is necessary to understand this, but in general, yes. It depends on who we are talking about. If this is just an ordinary friend or someone who has recently started studying, then what can be done?

Maybe he does not understand it yet or is in the process of working on himself internally, but we do not see it.

In general, we must move forward. Over time, all members of the group will begin to understand how they should be interconnected and mutually oblige each other, and this will move them forward.

In order to acquire the quality of bestowal of the Creator, which in principle is hidden from us, there is a laboratory in our world consisting of like-minded people. A person must perform three actions in it.

First he needs to initially accept his friends as the greatest. Otherwise, they will not be able to influence him; this is according to the law that spiritual influence can only be obtained from someone who is greater than you.

Second, he must buy them with his attention, with some actions, in order to acquire their spiritual desires and the quality of bestowal of the Creator.

Third, in any case it does not matter what a person sees and how he feels it in his feelings; he must judge his friends to the scale of merit. That is, they are always right.

Performing all three actions will help us to acquire the attribute of the Creator. Therefore, if you have such a group and you are mutually connected with them, then you have already acquired the most important thing.

Question: In the article “The Agenda of the Assembly,” Rabash writes that when friends gather together, they should talk about each other’s importance.

It seems unnatural to me. I have never heard of people invited to a meeting talking about the importance of each other, the benefits they can gain from the meeting, and how significant those benefits are compared to not attending. Why does Rabash give such unnatural advice?

Answer: In principle, there is nothing unnatural here because we are talking about friends gathering in a group. The purpose of this group is to perform spiritual work that can only be realized together.

Additionally, they understand that their spiritual development depends on how well they connect with each other. Therefore, the article discusses what such a group should be like, how friends should interact with each other, and their attitudes toward one another. All these are very important elements of the spiritual work of each member of the group.

Comment: You agree that when a person goes to a meeting, he does not think, “How great these friends are!” If he is interested in being with them, he goes. If he sees them as ordinary, he simply does not attend the meeting. But here we come and have to artificially elevate the importance of the friends.

My Response: Yes, that is correct. Moreover, this may be, as they say, “out of the blue” when a person has no such thoughts or intentions at all. But he begins to seriously contemplate this and gradually develops a desire for the gathering, for his friends, understands how important they are, and realizes that achieving the highest condition of spiritual ascent from the level of our world to the spiritual world depends solely on how the friends unite and aim upward together.

Question: When a person receives a question from the ego, it immediately responds with reason. If a person refuses this egoistic response, then he falls into a state of weightlessness, a kind of emptiness. What is the response from faith to this state of emptiness?

Answer: Uncorrected egoism constantly asks a person all sorts of questions so that he, in search of an answer to them, agrees with them.

Therefore, first of all, a person must unearth the answer to the question: what does he really want? And if he realizes that this answer is still selfish, he will know that he is still in selfishness.

Question: If such questions practically do not arise now, is it worth awakening them?

Answer: No, you should not artificially arouse any questions in yourself. You only need to awaken the desire to connect with your friends. And there you will find the answers to all your questions.

Our entire work is as “a ladder set on the earth with its top reaching the heaven” (Rabash, Article 10, “Jacob Went Out”).

Question: It says that the ladder stands on the ground; it is clear that this is our desire with which we have a constant connection. How do we build the top of the ladder going up into the heaven, the Rosh?

Answer: First a person faces difficulties, and if he copes with them, he rises. Second, in order to rise, he must solve all the problems that arise with his friends.

Question: How can we come to a common desire to liberate ourselves from egoism if everyone is not ready? After all, it is impossible to transfer the experience that a person has gained.

Answer: It cannot be that everyone is on the same level and similar. Only the desire to become like each other will make you a ten.

In the ten there may be different people with different qualities; the Creator will unite everyone and everything.

The main thing is to start working and pray to the Creator so that He reveals Himself as much as possible and shows you your true state. From here, you will begin to advance.

That the merciful one had mercy on us and showed us our true state, which is bitter, and then we can be awarded salvation and redemption (Rabash, Letter 72)

Comment: After we left Egypt and entered the Land of Israel, we were still adapt to the people surrounding us. We did not try to escape from Egypt and preferred someone else’s work to work for the Creator.

My Response: You prefer foreign work because you stayed in Egypt.

First, you must feel you are in exile and that this buries you in the sand. Then, gradually, by helping one another, you should begin to pull yourself out of the sand, i.e., from Egypt.

Question: What does it mean that the ten agree to go without any conditions, and this is what leads them to real prayer, which the Creator will hear?

Answer: No matter what happens, the ten agree to be together and rise above your egoism together.

Question: When we talk about the shattering of Adam HaRishon‘s soul into 600 thousand souls, do we mean those souls who came out of Egypt and those who are now going to be corrected and are going to the final correction?

Answer: A constant number of souls exist in the world, which need to be corrected. They are broken into parts, corrected, and reconnected into one common part. And so it continues like a puzzle assembling itself.

Therefore, we want to be attracted to a common goal, rise, and together raise several thousand more people related to us. There are more than a few thousand, more like hundreds of thousands. We will soon see that this is what will happen.

Then by uniting more and more, we will be able to get information about our connections. So let us move forward and increasingly feel the movement toward complete correction.

We will reveal what Adam, Hava, angels (Malachim) and so on are because we will begin to reveal the entire system of governance of the universe in the highest form.

Then, when he sees that he is powerless to do anything for society, there is room for prayer to the Creator to help him and give him strength and desire to engage in love of others (Rabash, Article 17, “The Agenda of the Assembly”).

As a rule, a person does not have the strength to do something for the sake of others because it is against his nature. We are egoists, inherently focused only on ourselves. And here you must incorporate into your friends, think about them, and envision yourself merging with them.

Therefore Rabash says you must exert efforts, then you will see that you do not have the strength to get closer to them, and then you will turn to the upper force.

Question: It turns out that all this is just to appeal to the upper force?

Answer: Yes, this is important because only from there can you get help.

Question: And why is it arranged in such a way that a person cannot, through his own efforts, achieve the importance of his friends for himself?

Answer: Because we can only exert efforts in egoistic actions. But here, it means rising above egoistic forces into the realm where only altruism, bestowal, and the importance of others reign. All these qualities must develop among us and prevail.
