Question: In Rabash’s article, “The Need for an Act from Below,” in some places it is said that when there is more hatred, more love is built above it. And sometimes it is said that there is less hatred and more love, like on a scale. How is that correct?

Answer: Both are true. You cannot tell from one step where you are going relative to a past or future state.

You must constantly ensure that your attitude toward selfishness becomes more and more negative and your attitude toward your friends becomes more and more positive. These basic parameters should always be in front of you.

Question: How can I understand that I have less hatred and more love for my friends and that I have not become more indifferent to them? Before I hated, suffered from it, and prayed, but now I feel less suffering and don’t quite understand whether I have more love or more indifference to them.

Answer: You must imagine a future in close unity with your friends. That is, every step means greater unity with them. And so, you go forward.

Question: How can we convey to the Creator the pleasures we receive in the material world?

Answer: The Creator does not need the pleasures you receive in our world that you wish to transfer to Him.

The Creator wants us first to unite as one person with one heart, and from this heart that we would ask Him to correct our common heart for bestowal.

Question: The fact that Israel could not bestow in Egypt and they had to go out to another land suggests that we need to separate ourselves from the desires of the society where we find ourselves and work only with spiritual desires, right?

Answer: In principle, yes. We must internally isolate ourselves from the whole world and constantly think about how to master the property of bestowal and love. In this way, we will gradually desire this, and the Creator will help us.

Question: How do we come to the timely understanding of the wickedness of the evil inclination both in actions and intentions in order to ask the Creator for correction and to be worthy of His love?

Answer: Regarding this, you should agree within your ten to constantly think that you are in exile from the desire to bestow and you need to exit the desire to receive, which is called Egypt. Then you will see and receive everything there is, except exile.

Question: What should be done to show the Creator our desire to build a connection with Him and be rewarded with true love for Him?

Answer: To do this, first of all, it is necessary to unite with your friends in the ten. And then turn to the Creator and ask Him to raise you from this state to Him.

Question: Does it need to be done more internally or externally, at meetings and common events?

Answer: The most important is internally, but externally is also necessary.

Question: How are the small daily exits from exile connected to one big exit into spiritual space?

Answer: After many small exiles, if you succeed in overcoming them, long exiles come. You need to overcome them as well. Eventually, you will quickly come to a state of high ascent, which will give you a feeling of the spiritual world.

Question: What determines one person’s sensitivity to another? How can we help each other awaken this sensitivity?

Answer: Sensitivity surfaces in how important each person is to others. The feeling of importance lies in the fact that you cannot reach the purpose of creation without others. No matter how much effort you put in, you will not reach spirituality.

Question: We have already realized that we are in slavery in Egypt and are trying to break free. Where are we now?

Answer: Each of you must answer this question for yourselves.

Question: When a friend leaves the life of the ten and at the same time does not exit the chat, but also does not return, does this indicate that we are not praying enough for him, or is it the Creator’s plan?

Answer: It does not matter. You must continue your work, unite, ask the Creator, and ascend to Him so the friend feels his place among you.

Question: How do I hold the intention to bestow when there is no way to determine where exactly I am, whether for the sake of receiving or in bestowal?

Answer: Connect with your friends, decide what to do, and you will not go wrong. An indicator of bestowal is your thoughts about how to raise others.

Question: To attract the light of faith into the ten, one must see everyone else as corrected except oneself. That feels like a trembling in the heart, right?

Answer: No, this is wrong. It is not a necessary condition. To come together in one unified heart, in one unified desire, and attract the upper light that will connect you correctly, you do not need to be corrected; you just need to desire that state.

It all depends on your collective desire that embraces and envelops all of you.

Question: It is said that to land on a table you need to jump higher than the table. In that context of moving from for the sake of receiving to for the sake of bestowal, what does higher mean, and what do we need to achieve?

Answer: To give everything to rise above your egoism.

Question: What should I do when there is a clear realization that I do not have complete faith and no strength to take action toward unity or prayer?

Answer: Try to get closer to your friends, and with them, you will be able to participate in the correction.

Question: Is it correct to say that in a conflict between two friends, they should try to see each other through the eyes of the Creator?

Answer: There is no point to even try. You will just get confused. But if you look at your friend like a loving mother looks at her child, this is good.

You must learn to forgive. The most important for the ten is forgiving and beginning immediately with renewed relationships.

Question: How can I express this correctly so my friend understands that I am approaching him with an open heart and not with other intentions?

Answer: If you study the same material and listen to the same teachers, you will naturally become similar to each other and begin to perceive the material in the same way. There cannot be anything else here.

Therefore, continue actively to build relationships within the ten that will tie you together in a strong bond.

Question: What are the “vessels of the Egyptians?”

Answer: They are egoistic desires in their purest form. The golden vessels symbolize the degree of Behina Dalet, the silver ones symbolize Behina Gimel.

Question: We are learning that I should rise above my egoistic desires as much as possible, not use them, and unite with my friends. What does it mean that I borrow these desires from the Egyptians?

Answer: You ask the Egyptians for desires and intentions to bestow, and you use the little light they have.

You use it in your egoistic desires that go through the stage of recognition of evil, your oppositeness to the Creator. Thus, you begin to rise above egoism by gradually rejecting it. This is when your exit from Egypt begins.

Question: The vessels the children of Israel borrow from the Egyptians, do they bring them along into the desert, or do they later bring them into the land of Israel?

Answer: These are very good Kelim (vessels); they keep them. Later, at each stage, we can delve into what happens to them.

Question: The symbol of the Exodus from Egypt is Matza. Why is it necessary to consume Matza during Passover?

Answer: Matza is unleavened bread that is made in a special way with minimal water needed to make leaven. Then it is baked simply over coals or on a hot pan; it does not matter what it is baked on.

Matza is baked in remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt and symbolizes our swift transition from the desire to receive to the desire to bestow. It happens unexpectedly, suddenly, in what seems like the most inappropriate place and time for a person.

There is an accumulating process, accumulation, and a person breaks free from the grip of egoism. This is called the Exodus from Egypt.

Question: So, does a person not expect this exodus?

Answer: They are always expecting it, but they do not know that it is approaching. When it really happens to them, they do not understand how it suddenly came about. But someday, it will happen to everyone.

Question: Which is more important: to be happy with the revelation of evil or to ask for a way out of Egypt?

Answer: The joy of revealing evil is not yet a finished action. And the request to leave Egypt is already a more conscious state.

The children of Israel cried out to the Creator to bring them out of Egypt. At the same time their similarity to Him was that they wanted to get out of their state and achieve the opposite: liberation from egoism.

Question: If we feel bad and we try to escape from this place, does it also come from the ego?

Answer: A place is a desire. We try to escape from egoistic desire, to make efforts, and to ask the Creator to help us do this. To our weak efforts, like those of a small child, the Creator gives His help, and then our efforts turn into action. This is how we ascend the steps of the spiritual ladder to the Creator.

Question: We are required to awaken from below. Is there anything special about Purim that we still need to do?

Answer: We do not need anything other than connection. The Creator created the desire to receive and shattered it into many parts. And we need to gather them so that they become like one person with one desire.

All these parts are in us. We are broken parts, so our desire to unite leads us to a state of correction.
We must constantly turn to the Creator with a request that He unite us into one common whole.

And when He does, we will have the opportunity to ask Him to fill our common desire with the upper light. This state will be called Purim.
