Question: What is the difference between religious people’s fear of the Creator and the Kabbalists’ fear of Him ?

Answer: The fear that religious people experience stems from the fear of punishment. On the other hand, Kabbalists do not have this type of fear. Instead, their fear is focused on the concern that they might not fulfill the will of the Creator.

A serious prayer is required to transition from the one type of fear to the other.

Question: From time to time, we feel fear of the Creator. How can we maintain this state consistently?

Answer: It depends on your environment, on your friends. If you all think about this together, it is as if you are keeping a ball in the air. Just as a team can keep a ball in the air when playing together, it is the same here.

Question: What do we need to do together so that we can build the Third Temple beyond what reality shows us?

Answer: We must regret that we are shattered, that there is no connection between us in our hearts and minds, and that we do not feel like one whole. Therefore, our condition is still far from being corrected.

But despite this, we must still move forward and hope that the Creator will gather us together and shine upon us, and then we will be corrected.

Question: On what basis does the holy community unite in order to become one whole and raise a perfect prayer?

Answer: On the basis that it desires to reach the Creator, to be close to Him, to influence Him, to receive from Him, and thus move forward toward the purpose of creation.

When a person is rewarded with a temporary illumination of Kedusha [holiness], it is considered that he has entered the Temple.

The ruin of the Temple is when the illumination is taken away from him. (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 566, “Cast Their Seed Among the Nations”).

Correctly using the glow of holiness means thinking only about the correction of the common Kli, the common soul, which is called Beit HaMikdash (Temple).

This is not a building that can be built in Jerusalem, but our common soul, which we create from all individual souls through unification, and inside it, in every heart, we prepare a place for the Creator.

You can sustain the glow with the help of prayer for correction, for merging of the hearts. We must unite all our individual desires into one desire, and the Creator will fill it.

Question: Why does the body surrender and allow a person to work for the Creator only when there is true love for Him?

Answer: This is the effect of the light. Sometimes the Creator allows people to feel such an attitude toward Him. This is done so that a person can understand what it means to be closer to the Creator or further away from Him.

Question: You said that peace is correction through love. Is it appropriate to ask the Creator to send peace to the world? Or is that too much?

Answer: No, it is not too much. However, it is best if this is tied to you and your ten.

Question: In order to pray for society, one must first join it and feel the Hisaronot (deficiencies) of others. But now we are discussing the need to pray for the Shechina (Divinity) to raise it from the dust. In this case, does a person not feel one’s neighbor’s Hisaron?

Answer: He does. The Shechina in the dust is a state in which a person feels suffering for everyone, for the entire Kli. One feels like he is part of the broken Shechina.

Question: I thought that the Shechina in the dust is when we are self-centered and feel separated from each other.

Answer: It doesn’t matter. Even in egoism, we still feel that we are together. Egoism does not connect us, but we are as if in one egoistic hole.

Question: What do you still need to ask for? To feel the Shechina? It is said that you cannot ask for yourself, but if you do not feel the desires of others, then the prayer will not work.

Answer: A person should imagine what “Divinity in the dust” means. Even if he is not particularly successful at this, he must still try to imagine that all souls are far from the Creator in the pit of egoism.

Question: But we are trying, on the contrary, to raise society higher and imagine that everyone is corrected except me. Does it turn out that I should only pray for myself?

Answer: No, we must pray for all souls so that they unite and the Creator can shine in them.

Question: I want to follow your advice and love my friend. But my egoistic nature causes repulsion, and I must rise to the level of love for him. So what is my prayer for the other?

Answer: When you try to rise above hatred to love and you make serious efforts to do so, such great egoism is revealed in you that shows you cannot do this. Then you begin to realize that only the Creator can help you, and you seek contact with Him. It is in this search that one can find the Creator.

Question: So what do I ask Him at this moment?

Answer: Ask Him to help you be in love above hatred.

Question: But it sounds like I am asking for help for myself?

Answer: Why is it for yourself? You want to show love for others! It appears above hatred, above egoism. We do not understand what the manifestation of the quality of bestowal is. It seems to us that I bestow and this is my gain. No, this is not my gain.

The spiritual property requires us to absolutely renounce and rise above egoism. You are making a restriction. We do not feel what the first restriction, the screen, or the reflected light are when you completely start working for bestowal. Then you want to connect to the Creator so He can help you with this. There is no personal gain here; it has long been left behind.

Question: How does prayer help build a screen if we do not ask for it directly or we do not explicitly say in the prayer: “We ask to build a screen”?

Answer: You are asking for it because you are praying for someone else. By doing this, you build the screen.

Asking for someone else is the most reliable way to change yourself and your position regarding the entire Kli.

Before one is answered for this prayer of the poor, how can it be said that He will answer him the prayer of Moses, which is the Torah (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 436, “Three Prayers”).

Question: What does it mean that the Creator answers the prayer of the poor?

Answer: The poor means someone who has nothing. Therefore, the prayer of the poor is a specific prayer coming from a person who feels deprived. And if his prayer is based on this, then the Creator answers him due to his huge deficiency (Hissaron).

Question: How should the Creator answer the prayer of the poor?

Answer: You will see how He does it gradually, in different ways.

Question: Is it possible to find examples of such a prayer somewhere?

Answer: There are books called Siddur. You can find many different prayers in them. So take these prayer books, read them, and you will see how the Creator answers you.

Question: If the Creator shows us the suffering of ordinary people and we are directly related to it, is there any work of ours here, correction as tens?

Answer: Of course there is. Empathizing with someone’s suffering allows us to take away a piece of that suffering and make it easier for them.

Question: What should we do in this case? Gather for common prayer? What should our actions be?

Answer: You just have to ask for the best for everyone. That’s all.

Question: You teach us that ultimately everything depends on the correct request to the Creator. How can we ask correctly from the heart of the ten?

Answer: Try to imagine the pain the Creator feels when we are distant from Him and how much pleasure we can bring Him if we ask to draw closer to Him and to be included in Him. That is very important.
