Question: Your teacher Rabash said that one can still attend a lesson without intention if he has already arrived. If we did not establish an intention of bestowal before the lesson or a meeting with the ten, where should we direct our thoughts?

Answer: At least part of the ten should be in the correct intention, and the others can connect to them. The most important thing is not to be passive. If I have even the slightest connection with the property of bestowal, I must promote or express it within the group.

Question: Can the greatness of the friends be a minimally sufficient intention for a group meeting?

Answer: Yes, you should strive for this. When you feel that through this, you are working for the sake of bestowal to your friends, you can hope this action will also lead to bestowal to the Creator. He will unite you all and bring correction.

Question: We are supposed to be in prayer all day, and before we even turn to the Creator, He will answer. How can we reconcile these two points? It seems like there are many blank spots.

Answer: Yes, each point is a blank spot, and they all connect together. But in order to connect them, you must continuously move forward. Gradually, you will see how your points blend into a common white background, on which your connections with your friends and the Creator will begin to emerge.

Question: The Creator gives the soul, which means intention. So does the quality of the intention define the soul?

Answer: The soul can only be formed when there is an intention to bestow. To the extent there is this intention, the upper light descends upon a person, shapes them, and creates them within the quality of bestowal. The intention to bestow is called the soul.

Question: How can we understand that we are coming closer to the soul? What are the correct indicators?

Answer: The indicators are the connection between you, and through it, the connection with the Creator. In this work, we only have two steps: to reach the quality of the connection between us in the ten and then to connect this ten with the Creator. That’s all. Nothing more is needed.

I asked God to punish my enemy. And God said to me, “No. He is destined to become your best friend” (Author Unknown).

Question: What should a person ask for if there is an enemy in front of him? How can it not be asking for help to destroy it? Please explain.

Answer: I don’t think it is necessary to ask for it, of course.

Comment: But this is an enemy.

My Response: This is only if it is a global enemy.

Question: Who wants to destroy me?

Answer: Not just me, but in general, to destroy everything around me.

Question: The Creator answers here: “He is destined to be your best friend.” If I keep this in mind even though I have an enemy in front of me, what is going on then, can you tell?

Answer: You are slowly adjusting to the fact that you can get closer to him.

Question: Is this the right way?

Answer: Yes.

Question: That is, over this hatred, over this whole situation, what he has done to me, I kind of forget everything and say: “You will be my friend”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can this be called a prayer?

Answer: Yes, it is a prayer, and it will happen.

Question: When you were studying with Rabash and had certain complaints toward him, he would say: “Why didn’t you ask?” Is it the same request every time? Or does it change? What did he mean when he asked you that?

Answer: He meant that one must always turn to the Creator but only after properly clarifying the issue. That is, when I want to achieve such a connection with my friends that the Creator is revealed within it and by doing so I will give Him contentment because He desires to dwell within and fill the creation with everything He has.

This state is compared either to the suffering of a cow bursting from excess of milk, eager to give to everyone but no one is taking, or to the agony of a woman in labor who wants to give birth, but the moment of birth has not yet come.

Such a state is very intense. It is an inner state that the Creator experiences because the desire to bestow is much stronger than the desire to receive.

We need to imagine this state of His and prepare ourselves to ask, not because we want it, but because He needs it.

Question: How can a person determine in which desire they acted as a righteous person and in which as a sinner?

Answer: They must feel it. If they do not feel it, they should perform actions characteristic of a righteous person, see whether they can actually carry them out, and ask the Creator for help.

Question: Can one trust their inner impression in this process?

Answer: No, they cannot.

Question: Can there be a state where we feel a strong connection with the Creator but simultaneously feel a sense of lack?

Answer: Yes, that can happen.

Question: How can this state be characterized? As a preparation for the next leap forward?

Answer: It does not matter, even if you cannot explain it. Do you truly understand the inner forces at work in such a state? The main thing is that we remain constantly directed toward the Creator through our connection with the friends.

Question: If I transition from my reason to faith above reason, does that mean I am hiding from the Creator?

Answer: No, it is impossible to hide from the Creator. Ask that He reveals Himself to us and brings us closer to Him—that, we must do. So let us ask for this.

The transition to faith above reason gives us the ability to sense the Creator. This marks the beginning of higher attainment.

Question: It is written that “He who comes to purify is aided.” What does it mean that I am ready to purify myself? How can I check this?

Answer: It means that you wish to bestow and you feel that you cannot do so since you only have the desire to receive, to somehow benefit from bestowal. That is what you see in your desires, and you begin to turn to the Creator, and ask and beg Him to correct you. Then, the Creator gradually begins to do so.

Question: Why does this happen multiple times?

Answer: Because the desires to receive or to bestow are very large. They encompass all of Malchut of the world of infinity. Thus, we must repeatedly attempt to correct our desires from receiving to bestowal.

Question: It is written that one who comes to purify is aided in thought because one can only overcome in action, not in intention. What actions are we talking about? After all, we always say that the hardest thing is to maintain the right intention.

Answer: Indeed, the hardest thing is to maintain the right intention. A person’s actions involve giving something to someone or helping someone in some way.

But they can only do this when they see some benefit for themselves. If they don’t see any benefit, then accordingly they can’t do anything.

However, in spiritual work, everything is the opposite. A person must perform the act of bestowal in everything, regardless of whether they feel any benefit from it or not.

Question: Does it mean that we choose the act of bestowal and pray to the Creator to give us the right intention?

Answer: Yes, the action doesn’t necessarily have to be directed at bestowal; it can also involve receiving. The main thing is that the intention is for bestowal.
