Question: Once upon a time there lived a man who lived very badly and sinned. He decided to come to his senses and began doing good deeds, but he did not notice any significant changes for the better.

One day he was walking down the street and saw that a button from an old woman’s coat had fallen off. He looks at it and thinks: “Should I lift it or not? She has a lot of buttons.” He decided to pick it up anyway. He caught up with the old lady, gave her the button, moved on, and forgot about the matter.

When he passed away, he awaited judgement to hell or to heaven. There were scales: the left side of the scale, Libra, was full; it is the evil side, The right side, the side measuring good, was empty. He thinks he is on his way to hell when an angel arrives, puts a small button on the right scale pan, and it tipped the scale to the side of good.

The man was amazed: “Just one button tipped the scale!” He heard the angel say: “Because you thought that you were doing good deeds, they disappeared. But it was precisely this button that you forgot about that was enough for you to be saved.”

The question is that since it is natural to think you have done good, you find yourself constantly thinking about the good you did each day. But it turns out that this is not really good at all and what you didn’t think about at all, but just forgot about, was some kind of good deed. Why is this so? Why can’t yo count the good deeds in this world?

Answer: This is simply because you should do it based on an inner, pure desire for good. But you do it just to check off that you have done good deeds.

Question: So if I am keeping track in my mind, “I did a good deed,” it is actually not a good deed at all?

Answer: There are many people in the world who wake up in the morning and start counting how many good deeds they have done.

Comment: And by the end of the day, they come with such a righteous feeling.

My Response: Try recording good deeds in a small notebook and keep it with you, at the bus stop, at work, etc.

Comment: When you shake someone’s hand, help an old lady cross the street, and so on, and so on.

My Response: Yes-yes-yes.

Question: And in your opinion, are those not good deeds?

Answer: You are living with the fact that you are accumulating good deeds for the future.

Question: But are they still good deeds?

Answer: No, you are doing it solely for yourself. Remove your own benefit from here, and you will ignore everything and will not do anything.

Question: What is my benefit then? That I feel good, that I am doing good deeds?

Answer: No, it is that you are making the Creator obligated to somehow repay you.

Question: I see. So it is like I am earning my place in heaven, but this cannot be done. So how am I supposed to live? How do I count my steps, based on what? It turns out that my seemingly insignificant acts like picking up a button, catching up with an old lady, and giving it back…

Answer: You cannot! If you do not overcome your egoism and do not act against it; you will not perform a good deed. It will be pre-sold.

Question: So I am bribed all the time?

Answer: Yes, this is what Kabbalah is about.

Comment: That is why this science is not easy. There is always something beyond reason. Always! And I cannot live without reason.

My Response: You have to calculate if it is worth doing something or not, how much do I gain with each action, interaction.

Question: So I live like that? Is that how everyone lives?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But I shouldn’t?

Answer: No, you should not. But how do you do that? That is why it is said that everything must be done in faith above reason.

Question: Can you explain in simple terms what faith above reason means?

Answer: If a person imagines that he is doing very, very good deeds that he will benefit from later, then it is all a failure from the start.

Question: With what intention should I perform deeds then?

Answer: Absolutely selflessly.

Question: So that I get nothing, no benefit?

Answer: Unselfishly. There will be benefit to the world and people, and to me—nothing. As if no one knows about it and will never find out.

Comment: So my name is not anywhere. It is not engraved in stone, not in the credits, my name is nowhere.

My Response: No.

Question: So I do it and that’s it?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: Right, and artists, and not only artists, will faint when they hear this. The whole copyright system is built on the idea that “This is my music, my creation, if you use it, you must pay,” etc. The whole world is built on this! And we are going against the world.

My Response: Yes, you can write in your notebook just for yourself and then burn it. But all the same, even in such actions when a person thinks about what he will get for it, saving up for a rainy day, it is still good to act that way. It does not really give them any real benefit, but it is still good. There will be less evil in the world because of it. And good deeds will start from a higher threshold, from a higher level.

Comment: What about the actions when a person really tells himself: “I did a good deed”? He is not thinking: “Will I get to heaven for this or not, I am just doing a good deed.”

My Response: He elevates himself to a higher level and should start working from there.

Question: You know, we just saved the world. Because the world looked and said, “This is impossible to achieve—faith above reason.” But have you just given a step: Do these things anyway; they will not be good deeds, but they will be a step toward good deeds?

Answer: Yes, and then a person should get used to doing such actions, not for himself, but for the world. And that is when their soul begins to open up toward the world.

Question: What is this space called the soul? What kind of space is it?

Answer: It is an absolutely empty space that a person must fill with his desire.

Question: Toward the world? From him? And nothing for himself?

Answer: Nothing.

Question: Is this the stage that humanity is heading toward?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And can it reach it?

Answer: Of course!

Joy—The Result Of Good Deeds
Why Do You Want To Be Good?
“How Do you Define Good And Bad?” (Quora)

Filed under: Body and Soul, Children, Education, News - No Comments →

There are two ways of being happy: We may either diminish our wants or augment our means — either will do — the result in the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle or sick or poor, however hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous or young and in good health, it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society (Benjamin Franklin, “On True Happiness,” 1785).

Question: Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, was a diplomat, philosopher, and writer. He is also attributed with coining the aphorism “Remember time is money.” By the way, he is also featured on the $100 bill.

Do you agree with his path of happiness being simultaneously increasing opportunities and reducing desires? Is this possible?

Answer: Otherwise it won’t work. Reducing your desires is not bad, but it can be an escape from difficulties and life. In general, I’m against it. I am for balancing the desired with the possible and moving forward.

Question: My desires should coincide with my capabilities is the surest way?

Answer: Yes.

Question: One way or another, you always say: “The science of Kabbalah says that desires will grow, and you will not escape it.” Will they grow all the time?

Answer: Certainly.

Question: And what are you doing in parallel? Here, the desire grows.

Answer: You balance these desires with your capabilities. As you get older, you slowly become wiser. So, you don’t come out too wildly with those desires.

Question: In fact, you say this: the desire grows, and you say: “I can’t do this.” Is this my wisdom? That is, I will not master this desire.

Answer: Yes, it gets automatically cut off.

Question: And if I live like this in this state, do I come to some kind of balance?

Answer: Yes, I don’t want more than I need.

Question: Isn’t this called retirement or rest?

Answer: So? There is a place for this.

Comment: There is a place somewhere when you are already old.

My Response: I don’t know. I consider myself elderly, and I feel that the time has come when I need to limit myself somehow.

Question: Is what we discuss suitable for older people, or is it ideal for young people with growing desires?

Answer: Young people simply need to position themselves correctly so that desires and opportunities are on the same level.

Question: On the same level, I can afford this, but I can’t afford the other. Is it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What if there is no balance if I strive for desire?

Answer: Then a person is always in search, in rising—in falling, in rising—in falling.

Question: Is this bad?

Answer: In this case, he does not achieve a balance between what is desired and what is actual.

Question: Should I achieve it?

Answer: Preferably.

Question: The science of Kabbalah says this: man is a desire. What does this mean?

Answer: Desire is the essence of man. And man exists to fulfill his desires.

Comment: By nature, I only want to receive pleasure. Only!

My Response: Yes.

Question: What does it mean to fulfill my desires? I can’t be filled, and I always want to receive.

Answer: Everything you see around you automatically sort and accept what is essential to you and what is not necessary and put them into practice. And so, you move.

Question: What does Kabbalah say? Does it say this is how you should live?

Answer: Kabbalah says that you must understand what your life consists of and what desires consist of. What should you strive for, and what desires should you realize? Put them in front of you. Choose the most important, the most essential of them. Then, you can calm down because there will be no more choices, and you can only work on the desire you want to reach.

Question: What desire should a person ideally strive for?

Answer: Strive for the greatest: to balance with the Creator, that is, to desire what the Creator desires.

Question: What does the Creator want?

Answer: We need to ask Him.

Question: So a person must ask: What do you want? Should I get an answer?

Answer: I should get an answer! Most certainly! Otherwise what is there to live for?

Question: Can’t he go mindlessly? Assume and go like this?

Answer: No.

Question: Could he be following someone?

Answer: No, that is wrong. It is like a little child following a big one.

Question: The answer I receive, where do I get it? How do I understand that this is the answer and not a hoax?

Answer: This is when you achieve peace.

Question: What state is desirable for Israel to reach in its relations with neighbors?

Answer: The neighbors must understand that they can coexist with us only in friendship and love. I use such lofty words although they do not quite stick to our neighbors, but still, this is what we need to achieve.

Question: Should there be fear among them that if they suddenly cross the borders they will be punished?

Answer: Yes there should be. But I believe that ultimately, we should reach a state where war is completely impossible. It would be nice to see this in perspective.

A dialogue between Greed and Generosity:

– Greed, oh Greed, give me a bigger pot.
– No, I do not have enough for myself.
– Give me a smaller pot then.
– I will not give you a smaller one either.
– Then give me the smallest one.
– I will not give you anything at all.
– Suit yourself. Here is a pie for you then.
– Alright. But why just one? You are Generosity, after all.
– Well, I wanted to give you more, but you did not give me any pots.

Question: Can we say that there are plenty of “pies” for us, they are there, but we, humans, do not provide “pots” for them?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What do you mean by “pots” and “pies”?

Answer: “Pot” is a vessel (Kli) into which one can receive something from the Creator. And “pies” are what He gives. But, essentially, we do not need it. We should be content with what we receive.

Question: Even here, do you believe that one “pie” is enough for us?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do we not need to provide a lot of “pots”?

Answer: Nothing! A “pie” can be before you, you will look at it and be satisfied.

Question: Why is that? Why do I not eat it?

Answer: You do not need to. You just need to know that it comes from the Creator.

Question: And to know that it will always be with me?

Answer: This is already egoism; this is a lack of faith. But generally speaking, yes.

Question: So is true faith above reason that the “pie” is here now and it will not disappear, it will be here tomorrow and today? I can leave it untouched, I can touch it, it will be there all the time?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So do I always have, for example, a couple of coins in my pocket to buy a pie?

Answer: I do not even need those couple of coins. It is unnecessary. I do not need the pies either or anything else. On the contrary, when you feel that you have nothing, then you have a stronger connection with the Creator. And that is it.

Comment: But feeling that I have nothing bothers me.

My Response: No, it does not. On the contrary, you can build your absolute desire, faith in the Creator, and the belief that when necessary, He will give.

Question: By the road stood the trunk of a dried-up tree. At night, a thief passed by and got scared; he thought it was a policeman. A young man in love walked by, and his heart joyfully skipped a beat; he mistook the tree for his beloved. A frightened child, influenced by scary stories, saw the tree, and burst into tears. But in all cases, the tree was just a tree. “We see the world as we are.”

Could you please tell me, what does it say about us if today we see the world in wars, suffering, troubles, and so on?

Answer: We are a reflection of the world. Essentially if we perceive the world as full of suffering, it means that we ourselves are fundamentally like that. And deep inside we don’t actually wish to see the world differently. We, in fact, want it to stay that way. We cannot rise above what we feel. That is the problem.

Question: So do we want this suffering?

Answer: Yes, we are accustomed to it; we dwell in it. And that’s the problem.

Comment: But that’s essentially anti-life.

My Response: That’s where we are.

Question: So we’re not really living?

Answer: We are not living.

Comment: It’s a complete turnaround: that we want suffering.

My Response: Our entire history, the history of all humanity, is just a continuous flow of suffering.

Comment: But we think we were set up for this. And even in the Torah, it is said: “Go and suffer.”

Essentially, it is said that you will suffer. So, we are not responsible, we are not carrying it with us, we were put in this position. And you’re saying it lives within us.

My Response: I believe it is our fault. We don’t wish to rise above this degree. We don’t want to!

Question: So the whole task is to want?

Answer: To want to overturn all of this, to break free from this tangle of suffering.

Question: What does a person need to do for that?

Answer: A person needs to stop hating others, to bring oneself closer to others. And then everything will change.

Question: Does he need to understand that he wants to suffer, wants suffering?

Answer: Yes, I think we just need to forbid ourselves to suffer because by suffering, you provoke suffering in the world. Wake up and sing!

Question: So if you’re in pain, wake up and sing. Like that song: “Wake up and sing, try in life at least once…”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Now, here’s a question. Later, all of them – the child, the lover, the thief – found out in the end that it was just a tree, what they were afraid of. What do we need to find out? What is in front of us?

Answer: The Creator! Nothing else! And He constantly creates these scenes, visions for us to be afraid and gradually come to an understanding of these mirages.

Question: So, my desire for suffering should turn into what is in front of me…?

Answer: Mirage.

Question: And I don’t have the right to suffer, you say?

Answer: No! As soon as you start to suffer, this mirage turns into materialistic actions, scenes.

Comment: Wars and so on.

My Response: Yes, but if you don’t allow suffering, even if it seems like it is there, then everything is corrected.

Question: And then I slowly start to see the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When you say “Creator,” what do you mean? What is in front of me, in front of us?

Answer: The force that governs the world, us, and that wants to lead us to the realization of the correct state of nature and ourselves.

Question: What is that state?

Answer: Joy!

Question: In 414 BCE, the prophet Jeremiah, one of the four greatest prophets and Kabbalists, lived in northern Egypt during the time of the First Temple. During this period, a young Greek philosopher named Aristokl, later called Plato, studied with him.

Plato recalls: “I was with Jeremiah in Egypt, and initially I was mocking him and his words, and in the end, once I become accustomed to speaking with him and to watch his actions carefully, I saw that his words were words of the living God. Then, I said in my heart, and I established, that he was a sage and prophet.”

The question is: Does this mean that the wisdom of the prophet and Kabbalist was open at that time to other nations?

Answer: Yes, because they were also at an appropriate spiritual level. It means that Plato practically understood who he was dealing with; therefore, this wisdom could be revealed to him.

Question: Why was the wisdom later closed off? Why was Kabbalah closed to the world?

Answer: There are periods in the development of humanity. Initially, it was simple, and there were closer ties between nations without significant differences. But then, alienation between them occurred more and more. Each went their own way, and eventually, there was such a separation that continues to develop to this day.

Question: Where did this prohibition come from? Who prohibited spreading Kabbalah to the nations of the world?

Answer: It was a consequence of the destruction of the Temple, that is, a fall from the level of Temple.

Question: Did the Kabbalists themselves prohibit all of this?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: Can we say that the world was not ready to receive this knowledge?

Answer: Yes, naturally, if it had received it at that time, it would not have been able to use it correctly.

Question: How did the wisdom that Plato received from Jeremiah later turn into Greek philosophy with its multitude of gods?

Answer: They took from it what they could, what they could understand, and somehow absorbed it into themselves, into their society, into their system, and that was it. And then…

Comment: But Plato lived by this. He even felt that it was like the words of the living God.

My Response: It does not matter.

Question: Where does it disappear afterward and turn into philosophy?

Answer: It dissolved. Not immediately, but gradually.

Question: But the fact that it was Plato, and everyone talks about him and knows about him, is there still some merit to Jeremiah, his Kabbalist teacher?

Answer: Of course! Everything that Plato later spoke about, he partly received from Jeremiah.

Comment: So, we can say that this high Greek philosophy that everyone talks about is a consequence…

My Response: …of meeting with Kabbalists.

Comment: You are often accused of spreading Kabbalah to the world, to everyone. So, this prohibition still applies to many people today.

My Response: Let those many remain silent.

Question: Can you say what happened? What kind of revolution is this?

Answer: Kabbalah was always spread in waves. There were times when it could be taught, spoken about, and written. And there were times when it was shrinking and concealing itself more and more.

Question: What happened with the time that suddenly started to demand Kabbalah? What kind of time is this?

Answer: It is because we live in an egoistic world and egoism within us constantly develops. Therefore, the Kabbalists, seeing that they had no other method, means, or weapons against the egoism that was developing so much in society, decided to take Kabbalah out of its hidden places and show it to the whole world.

Question: Did your teacher know that you would follow this path of dissemination?

Answer: Of course, he knew. What did he write? And what did his father, Baal HaSulam, write?

Comment: His father even wrote more.

My Response: Yes, so it was natural that those who consider themselves followers of Baal HaSulam and Rabash, and not only them but also Rambam, Ramchal, and Baal Shem Tov, must disseminate Kabbalah.

Question: Does it mean that the time demands Kabbalah?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What problems can Kabbalah solve today?

Answer: It can strengthen people in their quest to find out who we are, what our purpose is, and what we can do to bring the world to peace.

This is necessary for every person. What is the meaning of life? Kabbalah answers all questions. I believe that only its revelation can give people the key to the upper world.

Question: There are many different practices, yet you always highlight Kabbalah. You say, “This is special, this is a wisdom.” You always somehow separate it from all these practices and religions. Why?

Answer: Because, in principle, there are no practices in Kabbalah, only the heart’s desire of a person for a connection with the Creator.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
(William Ernst Henley, Invictus)

Question: This poet’s life and destiny were very hard! At the age of 12, he developed tuberculosis of the bone, and his leg had to be amputated, and later, they had to amputate the other one. He was always sick. But at the same time, he was always a fighter. It is said that Robert Louis Stevenson made the pirate Long John Silver in Treasure Island in his image. That is how he was.

Why does this desire to fight fate, to fight the Creator, live in us and lead us through life?

Answer: Yes, there are such special souls, such special people. What can you do? We must try to fight. And we see from historical examples it still gives some results. But it depends on the person and on how he develops.

Question: Is it the character one is born with? Is it already embedded in him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why do we so admire such a struggle?

Answer: I would not say I admire it, but I am impressed that there are people born with such set functions and such set qualities.

Question: Are we talking about a struggle with fate and with God?

Answer: Yes, with fate.

Question: But he does not agree with his fate, he fights it. Brumel and Vlasov were like that. After terrible illnesses, they got back on their feet. On their own. This is called “You make yourself.” Is it admirable?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When the Creator tests one’s resolve, what does He want from us? What is this done for?

Answer: All this is added to the piggy bank of the common soul of all mankind, and such people contribute a lot to humanity with their fate.

Question: What do they make humanity understand?

Answer: They bring humanity closer to the Creator.

Question: Despite the fact they are like…

Answer: It does not matter what they feel about it. I am not saying they are some kind of saints. They simply raise the level of man higher toward the Creator.

But I am not in favor of suffering. There are many similar examples where people choose suffering and believe this is how they rise. This is not true.

Question: Then the natural question in this and other cases is how not to suffer?

Answer: If you clearly understand, and you have such conditions when your suffering makes it easier for someone to correct, move forward, then yes. But if it is only in your fantasies…

Question: Now you have raised the bar. You said, “If my suffering makes someone’s life, fate, or soul easier”; you didn’t say “my,” but “someone’s.”

Answer: For others, of course.

Question: That is high! That is, if they are an example for someone, and are doing this for the sake of such an example, to show an example, of what can you try?

That is, if they are an example for someone, and I do this for the sake of such an example, to show an example, what is possible, try?

Answer: Yes.

Question: This is exalted! You keep talking about annulling before fate, before the Creator’s decision. When you say that, what do you mean?

Answer: I mean, I am consciously agreeing with what I see before me.

Question: Even with your illnesses and so on?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Meaning, it comes from You, and it is necessary for me. Like this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What happens to my pain, to my suffering?

Answer: When we agree with this, it creates peace within us. A person agrees with his fate, with the Creator, he agrees to accept everything coming to him according to his fate.

Question: Is it like an anesthetic?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what you call “annulment”?

Answer: Right.

Question: And must we come to this?

Answer: I believe so, yes.

Answer: No.

Comment: You said that Israel would indeed become the safest place on Earth.

My Response: Yes, that is correct.

Question: What is your basis for saying this?

Answer: I base it on the fact that the same Creator will compel us to follow His instructions. And then He will naturally make this place a source of peace.

Question: So it will be attractive, desirable, and so on?

Answer: Yes, this force will emanate from us into the world, and all the nations will turn and come to us.

Question: This question is difficult to answer. When do you think the war will end?

Answer: When we realize that there is no other way out. Only if we love, support, open our hearts to each other, provide whatever help is needed, and are ready for this to be the base law of human life, then it will happen.

Question: What does it depend on?

Answer: Again, it depends only on us. Only we can shorten all these times and bring nations closer together, just us.

Question: And how do we drive this importance into the heart and into the mind, that this is what we must come to? Besides the fact that we are formatted from above.

Answer: Yes, we are being squeezed from all sides, but we only need to develop this and explain to the world that the right state of humanity is “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Rani writes:

Dear Michael Laitman,

You always talk in your programs about harmony and balance. But my whole family is completely out of balance. And it is not just my family. Today children suffer from overeating and obesity from childhood. They grow up, and the race for weight loss begins, like with my wife. All sorts of starvation programs to lose weight, pills, counting calories. I want to ask you: maybe in order for a person to have a balanced diet, they must first achieve internal balance?

My Response: Of course, we see that when a person starts to get nervous, they start eating more, and so on.

Question: Do we just need inner balance and not any weight loss programs or calorie counts?

Answer: None of that.

Question: Then the main question is how to achieve this. You could win the Nobel Prize right now if you could advise humanity on how to lose weight. How can one come into balance with oneself, into equilibrium?

Answer: Everything must be related to the Creator, only to Him. We need to understand that everything comes from Him, and everything is for us to realize that we are constantly correcting our nature that is initially completely opposite to the Creator, and that we are moving toward Him, getting closer to Him.

If we do not come closer to Him, we will still be approaching Him, and things will get worse for us. But if we know that we must come closer to the Creator, then we will act wisely, and our approach to Him will be benevolent.

Comment: I personally feel that here lies the entire truth. That is, while I am fixated on the body, I will not advance anywhere; I will be fixated on it. But I need to focus on the Creator.

My Response: On the Creator.

Question: At what point does balance happen? How many attempts do I need until suddenly at some point there is peace?

Answer: You need to set yourself in advance that search for balance is my life.

Question: Usually we fail all starvation programs and start gaining weight again. Are you saying that even if we fail, but keep advancing toward the Creator, this search for balance will give us…?

Answer: It will give us a happy life.

Question: And we will not need any programs, none of that?

Answer: Nothing. I should reach a state where I eat to exist and maintain balance.

Question: Not more?

Answer: No more. What for?

Question: When will I start living like that?

Answer: When you understand that it is precisely in balance, in equilibrium that you find the connection with the Creator. He is gradually revealed in you, and you feel it.

Question: Does one way or another everything come down to this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can we completely reduce all our questions to this?

Answer: Absolutely everything!
