The Egyptians despised the food of the Hebrews, since all the bread of the Hebrews, meaning their nourishment, was in order to bestow, and to the Egyptians, all the bread is evil-eyed, namely to receive (Rabash, article No. 13 “What Is the “Bread of an Evil-Eyed Man” in the Work?“).

Question: How can we share the bread of bestowal in dissemination and how can we impress our surroundings?

Answer: Unfortunately you will not delight the external environment with this. They do not have those spiritual roots, and they will not understand you.

With a person who has no connection with the Creator, with spirituality, nothing can be done. And for those who have a connection, you should bring them closer to you, and include them in your work on connection, and from this, they will begin to understand what it means to be closer to each other.

Question: How can we understand and feel that spiritual work is a reward?

Answer: You can verify this only by working in a group.

So is the Torah: being entirely the thoughts of the Creator, it is like a rope that the Creator throws to people to save them and pull them out of the Klipot [shells] (Baal HaSulam, A Speech for the Completion of The Zohar).

It is like a person drowning in the river. In order to be able to use this help of the Creator, we need to unite and grab this rope together. It is impossible to do this alone.

To cling to the end of the rope means to achieve at least a minimal equivalence of form with the Creator. The Torah reflects the thoughts of the Creator, and the Creator thinks about giving, bestowal, and connecting all together. In this we can become like the Creator.

Grabbing the rope means to be together all the time in one thought as we try to feel each other, and from our connection to hold on to the Creator so that from our mutual bestowal we come to bestowal to the Creator.

If we are capable of a good connection with each other, this is enough to catch on to the end of the rope that binds us to the Creator. Here everything depends on us, on how much we grab the lower end of the rope closest to us and want to hold the rope together so as not to miss it.

And the essence of the bribe is in the will to receive. Hence, one has no other choice but to first accept the work with all its terms, without any knowledge, but only in the form of faith above reason ( Baal HaSulam, Shamati 152 “For Bribe Blinds the Eyes of the Wise“).

Question: Should I try not to receive a bribe at all, or should I receive and give it away?

Answer: You should try to determine what this bribe is.

Question: Anyway, the Creator communicates with me through pleasure. Should I refuse to receive, or try to receive for His sake?

Answer: You should try any of these directions. The main thing is to move forward.

Question: If what we receive from the Creator is invested in the connection of the group and in dissemination, will it not be a bribe?

Answer: No. On the contrary, it will all benefit you.

Question: When do we turn on the mind in spiritual work, and when, on the contrary, do we turn it off so that it does not interfere with us?

Answer: It depends only on the connection with the friends. The orienting point for turning egoism on and off is your common connection.

As much as you are more connected with each other, you will be more successful in turning your desire on or off.

Question: What state should we strive for so that the flame itself flares up in the heart?

Answer: We must strive to ensure that all our little sparks gather into one big flame.

Question: What if instead of hating the desire to receive hatred for the Creator manifests itself: “You did all this. You lowered me into this deep hole”?

Answer: It does not matter. The main thing is that we must find out the truth. If our internal properties are such that we begin to hate the Creator, then we fix this, and from this point, we begin to develop further.

Question: What drives the efforts in the ten?

Answer: Only the joint efforts of the ten are this drive.

Question: It is said that working in coercion is rewarded with faith. What can we force our friends to do to help them achieve faith?

Answer: Commit yourself to actions of bestowal, show their example and consequences so your friends learn as a result of your actions. That is called “Let man help his neighbor.”

Question: How can we free our hearts from other desires in practice in the ten before studying the Torah?

Answer: Throw all your problems and worries out of your heart, except for one: you want to connect with your friends and the Creator into one whole. That is all.

Just as little children in kindergarten are attached to their teacher, you want to be in close contact with your friends and the Creator.

Question: What conditions of spiritual work should we accept?

Answer: We must understand that the connection between us and the Creator is our path.

Any path consists of two points connected by a straight line. Our first point is the connection between us and the last is the connection with the Creator. That is the line we are following.

Question: What should the preparation for the request to the Creator include, and how can we verify that we have really achieved attunement with Him?

Answer: This can be checked according to whether the Creator answers you or not. If you feel yourself with the group and with the Creator as one, then He has accepted you, He has answered you.

And if you do not feel this, then you must continue to work on connecting with the group and the Creator.

Ask for connection with the Creator, merging with Him through merging with friends. Don’t forget that. If the friends are not included in your request, then the Creator will not hear it.

Question: My desire for Lishma is a tiny fraction compared to the desire for pleasures on which I depend. What can convince me?

Answer: Only the connection with the ten that yearns for mutual connection between them can convince you.

In this way you deceive your will to receive because you feel that your egoism, your desires for pleasure, are standing in front of you. But you are offered to connect with the friends, rise with their help, and overcome this obstacle.

As far as you can become as one man with one heart, that will be your good luck.

Question: Should awe before friends come before awe of the Creator?

Answer: Fear before the friends and fear before the Creator are interrelated. To reach real fear before Him, you can start with fear before the friends and then move on to the fear before the Creator, and vice versa.

This fear is necessary because it increases a person’s connection with the group. Our most important task is to connect with the friends and through them, all of us together with the Creator.
