Question: What is a higher request to the Creator?

Answer: A higher request to the Creator means that I include in my request all the higher desires of the group or, perhaps, of the entire world Kli.

Question: What happens is that you cannot formulate anything, and it feels like you are mooing like a cow, but cannot say anything. Is this also a form of prayer?

Answer: Yes, this is also a form of prayer. Do not worry. The Creator also responds to the mooing of a cow.

Question: We realize the greatness of the Creator. How can one evoke love for Him?

Answer: This is a gift from the Creator. But we still need to invest more to show the Creator how much we desire a connection with Him. So we just need to keep going.

You must talk about this and ask that all your work will be spiritual, that is, for His sake. Desiring this, turn to Him so that He will help you rise above egoism so that you can think and ask for spiritual insight only for the sake of His contentment.

Question: What is a naive prayer?

Answer: A naive prayer is an unfinished, vague desire. It differs from the prayer of the poor in that the poor have a very clearly expressed desire. The property of the highest Malchut is called “poor and needy” because it is empty and cannot fill itself or take a single step forward. It is Malchut’s nature.

It wants to correct its Kli and fill it. The naive still need to understand how to act.

Question: How can we all reach the state of the poor together so that our prayer is heard?

Answer: In general, it is not complicated. At least it is not difficult to understand what it is. We have no understanding and feeling of what a person or indeed all of humanity should achieve.

Therefore we must imagine ourselves as one person with one heart and desire—imagine ourselves and all the world’s people living together and feeling common desires that we all direct to the Creator. It is called “being in one heart.”

Question: It is written that you can come to the Creator only by hating your body, but the body is a spiritual shell. What does the body have to do with it?

Answer: By “body” in Kabbalah, we mean egoism, not our flesh.

Question: How can the Creator hate what He created?

Answer: He hates egoism and wants us to get rid of it.

Comment: But we have no choice. In any case, He will lead us to the goal of creation, either by an accelerated path (Achishena) or the path of suffering (Beito). It turns out that He does not give us a choice.

My Response: No. He gives us a little blow, and if we rush toward the goal of not getting rid of the blows, but rising above egoism and becoming like the Creator, He helps us.

So we pray that He will change, lift, push, and support us.

Question: When the Creator reveals the feeling of the quality of bestowal to us, the answer is that to preserve it, we need to ask only for connection or that He gives us the strength to pray for our neighbor. This is unclear. Why should we ask for anything other than this?

Answer: It is like asking for strength. Strength for what? This question remains open. Therefore, it is necessary to find out the ultimate goal.

Question: But we will never know it. We say that our goal is connection. Can we take this as the ultimate goal?

Answer: No, this is not an end, but a means. The goal is to attain the Creator—connection with Him.

Question: We have a strong desire in the ten to get out of Egypt, and prayer flows all day; we have the intention to give, the desire to unite, and the desire to merge all together. What else is needed to get out?

Answer: There is not enough connection between you. It is like you are standing in a square with thousands of people shouting, shouting to the Creator.

If you had joined forces at the same time, He would have immediately heard you and answered. You are still not connected. Therefore, alone, He cannot hear everyone.

Question: To unite, do we need to get out of egoism first?

Answer: Sure, one who is still in egoism cannot connect with anyone. And to get out of the quagmire of egoism, you need to lean on each other and grab hold of the Creator together.

Strive for contact with the Creator by addressing Him from the depths of your heart.

Question: What does it mean that person who studies Torah and Mitzvot for the sake of reward has an evil inclination that is concealed?

Answer: He does not feel that he is in a state of egoism, and his ego is constantly developing. At the same time, he does not move forward at all, not only positively, but also negatively.

Question: How can we turn evil into good in a correct way? How should we work with egoism?

Answer: If evil tells you that you are disconnected from the Creator, and you ask the Creator for strength and knowledge to correct it and to be closer to the Creator, then you will succeed in working with evil.

Question: Who reveals one’s evil inclination to a person?

Answer: The Creator does everything. The question is whether it is by the person’s request or contrary to it. Therefore, ask the Creator to reveal the evil inclination and give you the strength to correct it.

Question: How can I go with the Creator to Pharaoh if it is revealed to me that I hate Him?

Answer: Find a common language with Him.

Question: The Creator controls us by adding or decreasing evil so that we have a choice. Why does this work turn into pain?

Answer: Our work does not turn into any kind of pain. You have to understand that this is the formation of our Kli. It is the only way to rise into eternity; there is no other option.

Question: You said to focus on one negative action and correct it through prayer. How do we work in such a way as to correct one thought and then move on to another? What should we ask the Creator for?

Answer: Consult with your friends. What you accept together, the Creator will never push you away but will draw you closer to Himself.

Question: Ultimately, what outweighs the world on the scale of merit: prayer or action?

Answer: Prayer is also an action.

Question: How does prayer reveal the feeling of spiritual lack to us?

Answer: When we ask the Creator to draw us closer to Him and feel that He is doing so, we ask even more and see His actions even more.

We must enter a state with the Creator where we are constantly demanding and He is constantly working on us.

We must try to feel ourselves more and more in relation to the Creator, extract additional lack from this, and turn to the Creator with a request.

Our need must be expressed in such a way as to be able to gain closeness to the Creator.

Question: How can we develop sensitivity to the constant influence of the Creator and cling to each Hisaron in a timely manner in order to develop an even greater need for bestowal and realize it through prayer?

Answer: It depends only on a person. If one is constantly focused on how much egoism prevents one from getting closer to the Creator, then he feels an urgent need to get out of the ego.

Then he cries out to the Creator, and He hears him. This is how a person reaches the Creator.
