Question: The exodus from Egypt is the last material frontier of the egoistic world. Beyond it there is a conditional line, where after crossing it, a person begins to feel love and bestowal of the Creator.

What is this transformation that we are undergoing?

Answer: This is the last correction, which is called the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).

It occurred when a group of Kabbalists led by Moses exited Egypt, united with the Creator, received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and thus attained their final correction.

In other words, all this has already happened. Today, we, under no circumstances, need to go to Mount Sinai and climb it. The only thing we have to do is to be internally and spiritually ready for unity in the movement from heart to heart.

Then, we will feel the state called one nation in one heart. That is where history leads us. Everything that happens in the world is only necessary for us to complete it. We live in the happiest time.

Question: It is written, “And the children of Israel sighed from the work, and they cried out, and their cry rose up to God.” Where does this cry come from?

Answer: It comes from a sense of helplessness that people want to unite to succeed and receive fulfillment from the Creator through their efforts, but they see they are unable.

From this, their cry arises, like a drowning person who can do nothing in the sea except cry out for help.

Question: How can we check if we are ready to work in self-annulment with all our hearts?

Answer: The evidence is how much a person can dedicate himself to the goal.

Question: The connection with the Creator has degrees. What kind of work helps you see a new degree and not just have a connection?

Answer: Connect with your friends and try to reach the Creator through them, that will be your building of the degrees.

Question: Is the revelation of evil a state or a degree?

Answer: This is a state where I feel how opposite I am to the Creator. At different degrees it comes and goes.

Question: Why does the Creator give man the power of faith?

Answer: Because a person is very eager to do this.

Question: If the Creator gives harsh judgments to someone in the ten, how is it right to react internally and externally to show this reaction?

Answer: Help a friend in any way and quietly pray for him.

Question: What needs to happen within us and between us for our prayer to become correct? I would like to know what state we are in when our prayer does not reach the Creator.

Answer: It lacks caring for each other. This is not an easy action because we need to replace our own hearts with those of others.

Suppose there is a friend who involuntarily thinks only of himself. And there is you, who also involuntarily thinks of yourself. How can you exchange desires so that each one thinks in his heart, not of himself, but of the other? You need to think about this carefully. Perhaps you will find a solution.

You find that for Him, faith is not regarded as being of inferior importance. On the contrary, specifically, this path has many merits, but it appears lowly in the eyes of the creatures.

If the rod is thrown to the ground and one wants to work with a higher discernment, meaning within reason, degrading the above reason, and this work seems low, one’s Torah and work immediately become a serpent (Baal HaSulam, Article 59 “Concerning the Rod and the Serpent”).

The serpent is all our vile reasoning. This snake hides inside us, but at the right moment, it shows itself and humiliates a person, inciting pride in him and providing justification for his egoistic actions.

Therefore, one must be careful not to fall into this serpentine state. The environment should create such an illumination around a person that will protect him from this fall into primordial egoism.

One must hold faith above reason as the highest value to prevent the rod from becoming a snake. That is what proper work in the ten should be like.

Question: Your teacher Rabash wrote an article, “Make yourself a Rav and buy yourself a friend.” For the title, he took a saying from the Mishnah, a book by our sages about 2,000 years ago.

It gives the following advice: to acquire the property of bestowal (the property of the Creator), three conditions must be met. The first is to make yourself a Rav (Rav comes from the word “great,” teacher). The second is to buy yourself a friend. The third is to judge every person to the scale of merit.

I would like you to explain all three actions. Why do we need to fulfill them?

Answer: The point is that although we are connected with the Creator, we do not have mutual feelings with Him. Therefore, we cannot be with Him directly in such a relationship as with a friend, a teacher, or other people.

A person wishing to connect with the Creator must first acquire a friend. People who come to study Kabbalah and whose goal is to reveal the Creator must be in a group of like-minded individuals and develop mutual connection among themselves. Moreover, this connection should be higher than anything else for them. That is the first condition for a person striving to attain the upper world.

Question: But why specifically “buy” a friend? What does this mean?

Answer: It means using all opportunities to bring a person like you who is striving for the same goal closer to you, and being able to unite with them like with no one else. After all, in this connection, you are considered as one whole.

Question: It is said: first, make yourself a Rav. What does that mean?

Answer: Rav, from the word “great,” a teacher. “Make” means approaching him with gifts, participation, friendliness, etc.

Comment: I remember you explained that if we talk about the Creator, “make” means I must accept the upper governance. That is, I agree that He requires the quality of bestowal from me.

My Response: Yes, you will come to that eventually but not at the beginning of your relationship.

In principle, making yourself a Rav and buying a friend relates more to the friend. If you have a group of friends before you, you should “buy” them, meaning invest in them, “buy” their attention so they can respond to you similarly and there is a mutual guarantee between you. That is mutual work.

To make a Rav out of a friend, you must see him as great, and then you will acquire all spiritual qualities through him. It is precisely in connection with friends and rising above yourself that you can acquire spiritual qualities through them.

Question: In Rabash’s articles, it says that on one hand friends should be equal to me, then I can unite with them. On the other hand I must see the same friend as equal to myself, and another time higher than myself. When and how is this regulated?

Answer: To the extent a person can combine these two approaches within himself, he does that. It all balances out mutually. A friend relates to me as I relate to him, and we unite and move toward the Creator.

Comment: It is not clear where to find the energy for this. Your teacher Rabash writes that although we have no commandment to love our children, from nature there is a natural love for them; otherwise, there would be no continuation of the species. But here, it turns out that we must perform some unnatural actions.

My Response: Yes, these actions are not natural, and few people have the ability, impulse, and understanding to carry them out.

Question: So where do we get the energy to perform them?

Answer: From friends who initially have some inclination toward this. These are individuals who have this inclination. If they gather together under the guidance of an instructor or teacher who correctly directs them toward unity, they connect into one group and move forward in this way.

Question: At the moment the Creator allows me to see the misuse of a desire given to me, what is my inner state?

Answer: It depends on the person. Either you are glad that the Creator has answered you or you see Him as bad.

In this case, everyone must weigh their condition.

If you were truly allowed to see the evil in you or the misuse of a desire, then you should thank the Creator for this.

If your friend reveals evil in himself, then you must help him by joining him and working with him to transform this evil into good.

Question: What is a higher request to the Creator?

Answer: A higher request to the Creator means that I include in my request all the higher desires of the group or, perhaps, of the entire world Kli.

Question: What happens is that you cannot formulate anything, and it feels like you are mooing like a cow, but cannot say anything. Is this also a form of prayer?

Answer: Yes, this is also a form of prayer. Do not worry. The Creator also responds to the mooing of a cow.
