Question: Every ten makes efforts, but one goes in the right direction and another has long lost its way, although it seems we were all following the teacher. Does it mean that the Creator has favorites?

Answer: The Creator has favorites, it is true. Some strictly follow the Creator, and others do not put much effort into it.

Question: If you do see that someone has lost their way, can you correct him and help him?

Answer: This is someone’s personal work. The teacher is not there to point out his mistakes. If the student himself does not see them, the teacher cannot do anything.

Question: How can we anticipate these mistakes and become the Creator’s favorite?

Answer: I will start from the end: I would not recommend being the Creator’s favorite. It is very difficult because it requires a lot of effort. So we will continue as much as we know, and then the Creator will help us.

Ultimately, everyone will achieve complete correction and the end of all creation, but we want to reveal the unique attitude of the Creator. Therefore, we need to make sure we do what the Creator wants.

This is the meaning of the “remembering,” such as when one tells the one he loves, “Here is a bag full of gems, to show my love.”

In this way, the loved one strains to accurately count the sum of gems in order to reveal the love in his own heart, too (Baal HaSulam, “Remembering”).

Gems are concentrated grains of love emanating from the friends, and we feel it. Then, thanks to the fact that we unite, in this unity, we also feel the presence of the Creator.

Question: Who is a “neighbor”?

Answer: A neighbor, in principle, is any person with whom according to the plan of creation you must unite.

Question: What should the quality of our prayer be?

Answer: The quality is very simple; it is from the heart. Open your hearts and the Creator will feel what is in them. Everything is attained only by the power of prayer to unite, to rise, and to kill egoism in us.

Question: How can we literally wrap everyone in one blanket of love and how can we connect everyone with one prayer?

Answer: You should discuss this among yourselves and ask the Creator to join in your request, your prayer. Then everything will work out.

Question: In all circumstances a person reveals that he needs faith. Can we talk about it and somehow transfer it?

Answer: No, transferring the quality of faith from one person to another is impossible.

Question: How can we properly work with the bitterness of egoism in the ten and literally chew it up? And what impressions should we receive to want to ask the Creator for a way out of the ego?

Answer: Show our friends how much the Creator reveals Himself in us as a bitter part of our work. That is how we will reach out to Him.

Question: You said that it is not worth getting stuck in a high state of suffering of love. Where is the right place to be?

Answer: If you love, you cannot dictate what you want, one way or another. The feeling of suffering of love itself determines your state. Let us get closer to it, feel it, and then we will see what we are supposed to do.

Question: How can we determine that access to the upper world is not a substitute of one illusion for another?

Answer: When you enter the upper world, you will see that it is felt with more clarity than our world.

Question: How do we add faith? Do we do this ourselves?

Answer: The Creator does it, but thanks to the fact that we all together want to increase faith. Each in their our way, but, in principle, together. We want to be in perfect faith.

It is a perfect faith that completely replaces knowledge, sensation, and everything we can receive from the Creator.

Question: How can we help each other achieve a permanent lack of faith that will ultimately replace our knowledge and feelings?

Answer: Friends can show an example and support, and then you will see what you lack to gain complete faith.

Question: Can we in the ten unknowingly become workers of Pharaoh? Or by being involved in Bnei Baruch, do we have some protection, some guarantee that we will not stray away?

Answer: You have no guarantees. None whatsoever. Even though Bnei Baruch is a unique organization, everyone must constantly examine themselves, examine where they are heading and what they want to achieve.

It is only about each individual’s work. Each one separately.

Question: Can a ten deviate from the path? Have some tens in the world group already deviated, but are unaware themselves?

Answer: Of course such a risk always exists. But at the same time, tens can examine and correct themselves.

Question: After Passover, we plan to hold a congress in Uzbekistan. Many friends will come to elevate this region.

What do you recommend for us in preparation for this?

Answer: The only thing I recommend to you is the unity of hearts. Not in words, but in your heart to feel you have friends with you, that you want to connect your hearts together, and that this common heart will already be filled by the Creator.

Question: When a person hears the same constant question of the sinner in himself, what should he do to advance from this repeated question?
