Happiness is when something you very, very much desired, wanted, suffered for, were in pursuit of, and created such huge aspirations in yourself suddenly begins to be fulfilled, and you begin to feel relief, as if from pain. This feeling can be called happiness.

But there are levels and gradations here: what a person suffers from and, accordingly with this, from what he can be happy. And it turns out that his highest happiness is when he feels himself approaching the Creator, clinging to the Creator like a child to its mother, something like that. Then he feels true happiness. And this is a very strong desire that has been gnawing at him all the time.

He wanted it to happen so badly, and he had already despaired. And suddenly the Creator appears and says, “Well, where are you? I am looking for you!” And a person wants to say: “It is me who is looking for You! Where have You been, not me?!” And so, they rush toward each other, simply without words and without holding back. This is happiness.

Moreover, this is not a merging as in our world, when bodies join, and each body remains with its own volume and sensation. But here it’s like sensations that mutually penetrate each other, and there are no bodies. And such a state appears, truly I do not know how to say it.

Question: This is very beautiful and poetic! It is just that you have never spoken like this before.
And does my “I” disappear? After all, it is me who wanted this. I wanted this after all.

Answer: I want it to disappear! I absolutely don’t need it! But if my “I” disappears, then the feeling of the other will disappear as well. That is why it is arranged so that the “I” does not disappear.

This is explained in Kabbalah that the Aviut (thickness of egoism) does not disappear. And precisely because it becomes greater and greater, we get the opportunity to combine it with the quality of bestowal. And it turns out that the greater the egoism, hatred, the greater the love. And the greater the hatred, and the greater the love.

We don’t understand how this can be. In our flat world, it is all…

Question: Either this or that?

Answer: Yes, we don’t understand. But in the spiritual, it is so.

Question: And to what extent will all this grow: hatred–love above it, hatred–love above it?

Answer: Until the state of infinity.

Question: Until the sensation of infinity?

Answer: Yes, that there is no limit to this.

But it must be felt, otherwise it is meaningless. But it is a very long path to achieve feeling it.
