Victor asks:

Your Moses led the people to the land of Israel, he did everything that the Creator told him. And then, when they had already approached the border, the Creator suddenly said to Moses: “Turn over your duties—you will not enter this land. You will die here on this mountain.”

How is this possible? It is clear that people committed all sorts of sins before the Creator, but Moses was His devoted servant. Let him enter, he was waiting for this moment so much!

Comment: Indeed, in the Midrash Rabba it is written even more coolly. There are even thoughts of Moses, who says: “I have walked so much, let me at least touch this land! After all, I was walking and dreaming of entering this land.”

My Response: You walked and dreamed of fulfilling the desire of the Creator every day, every minute, with every step.

Question: Is this the main thing? Was it my goal to come to this, in fact? Is this my final test, then, which I have to pass?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this not cruel?

Answer: It may seem cruel to us.

Question: Is it necessary that I deserve to enter there? Or do I have to, as you say, annul myself and work as He guides me every moment, and that is it?

Answer: You must devote yourself to the Creator every moment.

Question: Then there is a question. It is written there that there were sins of the people, and there was the sin of Moses. Can it be said in relation to the sins “Because of your sins you will not enter.” Can this happen?

Answer: In general, yes. It is written this way.

Question: Is not to sin a possible option, or will we sin in any case?

Answer: It is impossible.

Question: So, we sin?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can we say that today humanity is being punished by the Creator for not entering a land?

Answer: In general, yes. Of course, judging by our daily states, we are undergoing punishment. But on the other hand, this punishment is still purifying us, changing us, and bringing us closer to the Creator.

Question: Can I come to terms with what is happening while I am living with this thought?

Answer: What else can you do?

Question: Does it mean that I am going through purgatory?

Answer: Yes, You need to grasp the fact that you must adhere to the Creator every moment and stick to Him as much as possible.

Question: Let us say a person has been awarded the sense of adhesion with the Creator and considers the bestowal that he makes as a gift from the Creator. Can he ask to receive for the sake of others?

Answer: If he purely bestows and has no desire to receive for himself and does not want to use it, then he can ask to receive for the sake of a friend.

Question: How can I tell if this feeling is genuine and I did not invent it myself?

Answer: There is no way. Just act. As a result, you will begin to feel which of your desires were genuine or false and what you can do with them.

In other words, through reinforcement in Torah and work, he was rewarded with repentance from love, when sins became as merits (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 354, “Abraham Gave All that He Had”).

In order to strengthen in the Torah and in the work, each member of the ten, despite having multiple obstacles of all kinds, must try to break through them and connect with the Creator in such a way that all the obstacles further strengthen his connection with the Creator and attach him to Him.

And when sins become merits, you feel how the Creator’s attitude toward you changes, and you begin to understand that everything you previously evaluated as bad was actually for your benefit.

Question: What does it mean “to be rewarded with a response out of love”?

Answer: It is a state when a person asks the Creator to give him strength to relate to the Creator with love.

Question: How much love can I receive in order to pass it on to my group?

Answer: If it is true love, then there is no limit to receiving love and no limit to giving it. The whole problem is in receiving love that does not turn out to be limitless. Baal HaSulam writes that boundless love turns into hatred in us. We cannot answer it because we cannot limit it in our Kli.

Therefore, if parents endlessly love their child, then they disfigure him. After all, he does not have the opportunity to feel where the boundaries are. As a result, he begins to hate his parents. It comes from nature. He gets the desire to pierce them, to do something in spite of them, because they do not set boundaries for him with their love.

It is a well-known principle that we receive everything in our Kli in a limited form. Thus, when we give something to another, we must explain these boundaries, convey them along with our love: “I love you from here to here and no more.”

By nature, we are very limited and do not perceive infinity, which we will be able to feel only with complete correction. Therefore, if you give infinite pleasure to a small Kli, it turns into hatred. In no case should you do that.

But you can always add love to our work. Do not be afraid, you are still far from making it endless.

Question: Will states of hatred in spiritual work constantly arise, and must they always be covered with love?

Answer: The Book of Zohar says that the students of Rabbi Shimon, who wrote this book together, experienced such intense emotions toward one another that they wanted to kill each other. This refers to great Kabbalists on high spiritual levels.

Therefore, if you think that your minor negative attitudes toward others will simply transform into good ones, don’t; such hopes are futile. On the contrary, even more irreconcilable feelings toward others will arise within you, so that you will ask the Creator to change them.

He will correct them, and simultaneously awaken deeper egoistic desires in you in which you will feel even greater hatred. Then you will ask Him for even more correction, and He will continue to correct them.

This is how, step by step, hatred followed by love, hatred followed by love, you will move forward.

Thus, the greater a person becomes compared to their friend, the greater their egoism because the previous levels of egoism have already been corrected.

The true joy in spiritual work is the reward of faith above reason.

Is there joy in faith above reason? Of course, there is. The greatest joy is there because in this state a person is fully included in the Creator.

We should feel that we are pleasing the Creator in the ten. This should be our demand.

Question: How important is acting out joy when you do not feel it?

Answer: You need to tune in to joy and bestowal, and you will see how quickly this will advance you.

Question: How does the Creator open a person’s eyes and heart to His greatness?

Answer: The Creator does this with the help of light, and then a person receives the corresponding sensation.

To live in the ten in the greatness of the Creator means that each of the friends and all together they think only about how to reveal His greatness and move forward under the influence of this sensation.

Question: How can we properly correct those uncorrected desires that may have been hanging between us like heavy weights for years?

Answer: The fact is that we approach increasingly heavier desires gradually. The Creator reveals to us precisely the level of desires that we are capable of correcting.

Therefore, we should not run away from them, but, on the contrary, we should constantly bring them before the Creator. And then we will feel what is wrong between us, between us and the Creator. This is our work.

When a person moves forward and wants to be in harmony with the Creator, then he sees which of his desires contradict correction and hinder him. At that point, he turns to the Creator and asks for His help.

Question: What should I bestow to my friends and the entire ten from my desire to receive?

Answer: You must approach your friends and invite them to go to the Creator together and in such a way that you have no doubts that you are on the right path. In addition, you must give each other support and the right direction of thoughts and desires.

Question: What does it mean to give yourself completely to the Creator?

Answer: It means to be constantly in the intention to act for the sake of the Creator. If a person tries to adhere to this intention, then he has no descents.

Question: How can we help each other in the ten to reveal the common deficiency (desire) through which we can come to know the Creator?

Answer: In the ten, we must be connected to one another through mutual bestowal, mutual support, and mutual connection so that whatever each of us receives is distributed among all members of the ten.

If we think this way, we will begin to feel the connection within the ten. And then anyone who receives even a little from the Creator, from their action, from their prayer, will distribute this among everyone.

Question: How can we help each individual in the ten incorporate in the common deficiency in order to bring contentment to the Creator?

Answer: When you feel the need to turn to the Creator, draw in as many desires, sensations, and connections between yourselves and your friends as possible, and turn to the Creator so that He can unite and fill you.
