Question: Now it has become noticeable that someone is already more ready for internal relationships in the ten, while someone else is on the way to it. Do these friends have to somehow manifest themselves in relation to others, or should it be only their internal attitude?

Answer: In the ten, it is necessary to constantly cultivate rapprochement between friends and not hide it.

There are friends who do not understand at all why getting closer to each other is necessary. By the way, those who have great egoism will go further and higher, as it is said: “Everyone who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater.”

He will need a lot of time and effort to correct himself, but he will rise above the rest. Therefore we cannot calculate who is better or who is worse, but only in comparison with what is at the moment. Inside the ten, everyone has to take care of everyone.

Question: It is written in the sources that the upper light dwells in a place of joy. But our actions to unite are always in overcoming the ego and the rejection between each other, which are not in joy. It is always an effort, it is always hard. How can we connect these two things?

Answer: This should be done gradually in mutual support of each other. If you understand what needs to be done, then you should talk to each other how you achieve this, with what efforts, and so on.

And you will see that it is not so difficult. If you already have some kind of mutual understanding of what is happening between you, then you will overcome everything.

Question: You said we should turn to the Creator from a global connection. How do you know we are in such a connection?

Answer: You must be connected to each other so that everyone feels the friends. And from this global connection, starting from your lowest level, rise higher and higher to the Creator and only together make a request to Him until the Creator begins to answer you. Such a two-way connection will be constantly between you.

At every step of the spiritual path, the main role is played by the intention to achieve the desire of the Creator.

It is possible to build the right intention through the fact that we connect with our friends, slowly begin to think about others, and thus come to a state where our thoughts and actions are focused on taking care of them. We ask the Creator to help us in this, and we thus achieve the quality of bestowal.

Question: If we are in the ten together scrutinizing the intention, should we not come to some kind of scrutiny of who has the right intention and who does not?

Answer: No, everyone scrutinizes their own intention.

Question: I can demand mutual guarantee from myself, but how can I bring all my friends to it?

Answer: By being an example.

Question: If I honestly conduct an internal analysis, I find within myself the area of distancing from some people in the ten. Outwardly, this is not manifested in any way, but do I need to work and dig inside myself in order to reveal this?

Answer: It is said about this: “if the Creator does not build a house,” that is, a Kli, none of our attempts will help. Ask the Creator. Only this will help.

Question: We are all different in the ten. Some demand to be pressured since they realize this is the way for them to advance. Others, on the contrary, say there is no coercion in spirituality. How can we properly apply this pressure in the ten? What is the correct formula?

Answer: Do not be afraid of pressure; you just need to behave correctly in the ten, as clearly as possible,  and then all problems will be solved by the Creator Himself and not by us. We only need to properly relate to the states we are in.

After all, everything that happens is done by the Creator, and we must ask Him to correct the imbalance between us, which determines all the negative events in our lives.

Question: The Creator has let me feel that if I have the correct envy for my teacher I can use his example and hold onto connection with my ten and through it with the Creator. How can I properly help my friends envy you in order to strengthen our mutual guarantee?

Answer: I think you should only envy my consistency in aspiring to the goal.

I was about 30 years old when I began to study with Rabash and since then I have not turned in any other direction. I have gone through many various states: descents, ascents, being further and closer, but every day I have prayed to not get further from my goal in any way. This is the main thing.

 Question: What does opposing a good inclination against an evil inclination mean?

Answer: Opposing a good inclination against an evil inclination means that a person disagrees with the emergence of some good or, conversely, evil inclination in him. Therefore, he wants to juxtapose one to the other. To practically do this while working in a ten, imagine that you are in an egoistic state, slightly rising above it, and want to be in a better, altruistic state. Identify what resistance or opposition you encounter in this process. This is the work that we must do. This state is referred to as a war.

Question: So, are we at war with what opposes us?

Answer: We are at war with what opposes the Creator. If a person strives to get closer to his friends and, together with them, closer to the Creator, in this way, they can start to subdue all their negative qualities and transform them into good, positive ones. The Creator will give you strength, and from your negative qualities, you will begin to acquire corrected, good ones. Who else will do this if not the Creator?

Question: Is holding on to friends in spiritual work like using a baby walker?

Answer: Yes, of course, this is how the Creator supports us and teaches us to walk. It is in the group that we learn to walk correctly.

Question: What does the first step of a child in spiritual work mean?

Answer: A person must draw the right conclusion from what he has because his first step depends on where he steps: toward the Creator or not; a path opens up for him through the group or somewhere to the side. This is the choice.

Question: Is the greatness of the Creator a force or a quality?

Answer: It is the force that gives birth to us, controls us, and connects us. What we have is just the force that can allow us to feel what He is doing to us. This is our force, and everything else is the Creator.

From feeling His actions on us, we move on to being in solidarity with Him.

Question: By what means can a person advance if he does not receive the greatness of the Creator?

Answer: He joins his friends and through them begins to feel the force that pulls them forward. It is called the greatness of the Creator.
