Question: What should I say to a simple person who does not study and probably will not study Kabbalah?

Answer: There is no need to study Kabbalah! The wisdom of Kabbalah is not for studying it. Studying is not its realization. Realization in our world occurs through awareness of the separation and correction and not through any kind of physical action.

Physical action is the dissemination to the people of Israel and the nations of the world of the idea of what the purpose of creation is and the process of achieving it. Once a person hears it and to some extent agrees with it, a person, as they say, carries it out.

There is no realization in our world. How would you implement it? With hands, feet? Even the work in the Temple, the sacrifice of animals for the Temple service are external symbols of internal agreement. All the work is internal.

You sow this knowledge in yourself and in the nations of the world, in everyone without any distinction, and everyone feels that this is indeed so and, apparently, the entire world is in a bad state precisely because we do not follow this general law. This is how you correct everything.

After all, the correction does not lie in extracting a few more tons of oil or coal, or building a few more factories, or in doing something else. Correction is not accomplished by physical actions. An action is achieving the correct intention. That is all. All the actions of this world are useless, and we see how destructive they are.

The intention for the sake of bestowal was shattered; the intention that should have been in the head of the Partzuf of the world of Nikudim or Adam. At that time, in the head (Rosh), there was an intention to receive for the sake of bestowal, but it was not realized in the body (Guf). It is precisely this intention that must now be realized. Intention!

Therefore, to the question “What should we do in this world?,” I answer: we should not perform any physical actions other than dissemination, other than study. This is what is called the “kingdom of the priests”: the priests (Kohanim) have no inheritance, they do not have to do anything. They should only teach, pass the method.

And what about the other nations? They work with the desire to receive; that is considered their work. The actions are only in connection, dissemination, explanation. And that is all.

Today we are in a state where we are obliged to make corrections. If we do this, we are using our free choice. We create a group through which we strengthen ourselves, analyze the Kelim, and correct them from simple to complex.

First we correct “Israel in its land” to the extent possible, and then our inclusion in the nations of the world. This means that we give the nations of the world the method of correction, explain to them why everything exists, what its purpose is, and what the process and goal of creation are.

This is what is meant by Galgalta veEynaim (GE) working on the AHP, being inside it, and due to this the AHP joins GE to the extent possible.

If we function as we should, then, as Baal HaSulam, writes “sparks of enlightenment and purification” will pass from Israel to the nations of the world. By doing this, we carry out the one and only action that we can perform by free choice.

But if we do not use our freewill, specifically that which is given to us in this particular moment in history, then the general force that is obliged to bring us and all the nations of the world to the end of correction (Gmar Tikun) will act upon us in such a way that we will be made to fulfill what is required.

To the extent that we deviate from the correct direction, this force acts upon us to return us to it, but this return comes through suffering, and therefore, we risk finding ourselves in the most dreadful states.

It is written, “Do not put an obstacle before a blind person.” How can it be that the people of Israel are required to become a kingdom of priests and a holy nation?

At Mount Sinai, the people are required to be as one person with one heart; otherwise, “this will become your burial place.” The condition at Mount Sinai is a state, it is not our condition. It means we have now come out of Egypt, out of the desire to receive. This escape was accomplished through the first three Sefirot of Hochma (GAR de-Hochma), through the upper force, awakening from above.

Now that we have some idea of what it is, we must assume the next state we must enter, called: “the kingdom of priests” and “the holy nation.”

Coming out of the desire to receive and entering the spiritual world must take place in the vessels of bestowal, without any concern for oneself, for the sake of adhesion with the Creator. A state with no self-concern is achieved through a means called “love your neighbor as yourself,” with the help of a group. And merging with the Creator is achieved through working with Him.

Once a person acquires the vessels of bestowal, one interacts with the Creator. But the intention, from the start, must be in order to merge with the Creator.

These are the words of our sages in clarifying the ending, “These are the words which you will say to the children of Israel.” They made the precision, “These are the words,” no more and no less. This is perplexing: How can you say that Moses would add or take away from the words of the Creator to the point that the Creator had to warn him about it? (Baal HaSulam “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]”).

Question: What is the meaning of the warning given to Moses: “No less and no more…”?

Answer: “No less and no more” means that the correction must continue until all the vessels are corrected.

In other words, Galgalta veEynaim (GE) have no right to exist if it is not for the sake of the common correction.

That is, GE are obligated to awaken, correct themselves, and correct others; this is the reason for their elevation before the rest. They are not permitted to be under AHP, because their role is to correct AHP due to their own purity and degree of Aviut (coarseness).

Therefore, the Creator gave him the above warning, “no less,” but offered them the true nature of the work, in all its sublimity, expressed in the words, “a kingdom of priests.”

Regarding the reward that is defined in the words “a holy nation,” he was warned, “no more” (Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]”).

The words “no more” and “no less” essentially speak about one’s attitude toward the system.

What does “a kingdom of priests” mean? It means not for one’s own sake. It refers to a correction that is not intended for me; I cut myself off from personal interest. In everything I do and carry out, in everything that will happen, there is no “I.” My “I” is, so to speak, completely absent from reality. My concern is that reality should exist and not that I should exist in it. This is called “a kingdom of priests.” And we must reach “no less” than this correction.

The words “no more” imply the form of work with AHP. One may engage with the AHP only in such measure and with such Aviut, that it is always “no more” than in order to reach adhesion for the sake of bestowal.

In this way, the distinction between the work according to the principle of “no less” with vessels of bestowal, and the principle of “no more” with vessels of reception is expressed. Baal HaSulam formulates it in this way.

Question: How can one balance the need to explain people’s guilt in what is happening on one hand, and on the other, make sure that they accept it?

Answer: As Baal HaSulam explains at the end of the Introduction to The Book of Zohar, all correction begins from within, from the innermost part of ourselves.

If you find a point of support on the Creator within yourself and from this point you influence yourself and the group, and from this point you reach out to the whole world, you will be able to explain it, be right, and self-confident. There will be no difficulty in doing so. But only if you have that point of reliance on the Creator.

Is there a difference today between Jews and the nations of the world who are awakening to seek spirituality, to spiritual work?

According to what Baal HaSulam writes at the end of the Introduction to The Book of Zohar, first and foremost, we must awaken those who are customarily called “the people of Israel” in this world.

This is not according to their aspiration to adhere to the Creator, not to look for such individuals as we do in global dissemination, but simply by working within the people. This is what we are doing now. And this work, as it turns out, is the most difficult.

The point is that to those who allegedly belong to the people of Israel, those who have “Jew” written in their passport, you must come with a real accusation: that they are inherently guilty of not fulfilling their role in this world despite being Jews. Clearly no one wants to hear this.

As for the nations of the world, you approach them with a different task. You say: “You must help the Jews fulfill the correction that will be revealed to the world through them.” This is what the AHP must do in relation to Galgalta veEynaim. That is, you ask them for help, but you do not accuse them of not making corrections because the vessels of reception cannot carry it out. If they could, they would have received the Torah.

It is said that the Creator tried to give the Torah to each of the 70 nations, but they were unable to accept it. Therefore, there are no claims against them.

And when they already know what the process of correction entails and the reason for the purpose of creation, then you can demand participation and help from them, but only after that! As it is written: The nations of the world will carry Israel on their shoulders and bring them to Jerusalem. And then you will see that indeed the whole world is ready to participate in everything for the sake of correction.

And as for the fact that today we are being accused of being a part that has no purpose, this is because we, those living in Israel, claim that the inner part of the Torah, the wisdom of Kabbalah, meaning the means for attaining the purpose of creation, is unnecessary. That is why the nations of the world treat us this way.

Baal HaSulam writes about this very clearly and plainly. In this way, we ourselves determine the world’s attitude toward us and the measure of suffering or the measure of serene peace in the whole world.

Question: We see how difficult it is for us to maintain the correct intention. So what can we even say about the whole world?

Answer: That is true. But as we study in the wisdom of Kabbalah, there is nothing but intention. The whole issue lies in realizing its importance.

Either you will attain the importance of your attitude toward reality and toward the Creator, through your own free choice or He will instill this importance in you through suffering. Choose one or the other, but you will have to do it based on importance. Importance is what you must attain. Either blows will provide it for you, or attention. That’s all. Now decide!

Today when you tell the people of Israel that another catastrophe could befall them, one even more terrible, you hear in response: “God forbid! What are you talking about?! How dare you?!”

But I only want the full importance, the full seriousness of the situation to be realized; therefore, I speak of potential disaster before it arrives. “No! Absolutely not!” they say, burying their heads in the sand.

While studying in Abraham’s group, his like-minded companions and their descendants received both Aviut (the coarseness of desire) through the Egyptian exile, and Zakut (purity) through the suffering they endured as a result of possessing such Aviut.

It was difficult for them to remain in adhesion with the Creator while in Egypt as they perceived various external forces ruling over them, and it was hard to relate these forces back to the Creator. This is what is called “exile”, and they built the splendid cities of Pithom and Raamses for Pharaoh, and miserable cities for themselves.

Aviut increases, and as a result, it seems as though the desire to receive brings a person good things, while the desire to bestow brings harmful ones. A person is unable to connect the two and relate them to a single desire, a single force, a single thought.

This continued until, within that group, which by then had grown into a nation, different kinds of Aviut and types of soul began to appear: Moses, Aharon, Kohanim (the priests), Levites, and the people. In addition, there was also the “mixed multitude”(Erev Rav) that had intermingled with them—”a great mixture of nations”.

And yet, due to the increasing number of blows that their desire to receive had undergone, each individual began to feel that they could escape Pharaoh’s rule only with the tiny point left within them, called “Moses.” And they began trying to flee from the power of Pharaoh.

They began to sense the possibility of escaping the thoughts called “Pharaoh,” the “Egyptian nation” within them. Then they reached a state in which they could unify all these forces into one called “Moses,” and attach it to the Creator, to adhere to the very idea that “There is none else besides Him”, and “He and His Name are one.”

I need a virtuous people. If you agree to be the remedy for all the nations, I command you to “be unto Me a kingdom of priests,” which is the love of others in its final form of “Love your friend as yourself,” the axis of all the Torah and Mitzvot. And “a holy nation” is the reward in its final form of Dvekut with Him, which includes all the rewards that can even be conceived (Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]“ ).

The phrase “And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” indicates that the entire nation must attain this spiritual level.

“You shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests” refers to the work above the receiving vessels (Kelim). By achieving correction in the bestowing Kelim at all levels of Aviut present within the soul, a person reaches the correction of AHP. That is, all the work of GE, the “kingdom of priests,” is needed solely to correct AHP and bring it under one’s dominion.

These are the two stages of correcting the Kli. After the shattering of the vessels, no particle remains that does not consist of four parts: GE, GE within AHP, AHP within GE, and AHP.

It is impossible to distinguish one part from another. The shattering of vessels as it applies to souls is different from bodies in this world where one can distinguish who belongs to Israel and who belongs to the nations, who was born to a Jewish mother and who was not. When it comes to souls, however, the shattering occurred within all souls. Unlike physical bodies, which are divided into Israel and the nations, there is no such division here, not even symbolically. All souls underwent the shattering.

One can speak of relative shattering within all particles, but ultimately, each individual fragment is so intertwined with all others that every part contains everything, as the shattering spreads to the most minor desire in existence, fragmenting it as much as possible.

Therefore, the work is in analyzing and correcting each desire from the purest to the coarsest, from the lightest to the heaviest. Those desires that can be separated and corrected first due to their purity are called “Israel.”

This is why the work begins with them, as it is written: “And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests.” These are the desires that can be separated from AHP, from the desire to receive, and assigned solely to GE – the desires to bestow. These form Galgalta veEynaim of ZON in the world of Atzilut, and they are called Israel.

Why? Because this type of desire was never meant to be shattered or corrected. These desires have no need for reception and therefore do not relate to receiving the Light of Hochma. The purpose of creation to attain equivalence of form with the Creator by receiving for the sake of bestowal is not for them.

Therefore, all GE are Kelim, the attributes of the Creator, that simply need to mix with AHP, correct themselves, and thereby establish a system through which AHP can be corrected. In and of themselves, they do not need shattering or correction.
