Question: It is said that the Torah is acquired through suffering. What should one do if they want to escape from suffering?

Answer: There is nowhere to escape. Direct them to the Creator.

Comment: It seems like a vicious cycle because you do not receive an answer and you want to shut yourself off from suffering.

My Response: No, you still need to ask the Creator and strive even more toward Him. Maybe you lack connection with the ten, but the method is essentially to connect with each other and raise a request to the Creator.

Question: Every day in our group, we write prayers. Each friend describes her lack (desire) in one sentence. Does this help us progress, and how does it help us come to one shared desire?

Answer: Of course, every prayer of each woman, man, and child reaches the Creator, and the Creator responds to it. The only question is how much do we feel it? But we surely increasingly influence the Creator and receive a response from Him.

Question: How can we feel that the Creator hears every word in our prayer?

Answer: Either believe in what the Kabbalists write, or continue until we hear, see, and feel that we are in connection with the Creator.

Question: We should ask the Creator for the quality of bestowal. How can a creature ask for a quality that is not initially inherent in its nature?

Answer: It can ask. Initially we naturally only want to receive, but through our lives and interactions with others, we also bestow. Therefore, we are capable of both.

I think it is important to understand that prayer should truly come from the heart to the Creator, and it should be for your connection in the ten or for your friends.

Question: Should prayer in the ten be simultaneous, like an attack, or should it flow smoothly between us, with us complementing each other throughout the day?

Answer: Both.

Question: What is more effective to ask for: attainment in Torah or a constant lack of it? In other words what is it better to ask for, the Kli or the light?

Answer: The light. When the light comes, it fills you and leaves you with the correct desire afterward. Therefore, one should constantly strive for the light of Torah.

Question: How does the light of Torah come to us in faith above reason when there is neither deficiency nor suffering? Maybe this is already merging with the Creator?

Answer: Hold on, it does not happen that quickly. Usually, a small illumination comes to you that supports and guides you forward. This mainly happens because there are many of you. That is the only reason.

Wherever I mention My name, meaning that you will give me the possibility to attribute My name to your actions (Rabash, “The Path of Truth“).

Question: How can we incorporate this into our lives so that we always give the Creator this possibility?

Answer: By desiring for the Creator to start working with you, addressing Him from all states, and always trying to engage Him in a dialogue, meaning, attempting to speak with the Creator and waiting for His response.

Question: In what form does a Kabbalist receive the Creator’s answer?

Answer: Most often in the form of what happens to him.

Question: Does it mean that we feel something as a reaction of the Creator in events and sensations?

Answer: Yes, the correct reaction is that we accept everything from the Creator: both good and seemingly bad. We only want to come closer to Him through our appeal to the Creator.

Question: Can we say that our action of bestowal consists of active connection; for example, during a lesson, preparing for a lesson, studying and working in the ten are the desire, the passive vessel for work in active connection, and the work is the request for correction of the vessel, its fulfillment, and transmitting the light to the entire world?

Answer: Yes, this should be our intention. Therefore, before we open the computer and connect with our friends, we need to think about why we are doing this: to be connected together in one single vessel, to direct it to the Creator, and to reveal the Creator within it.

If we direct ourselves toward connection with friends, toward reading articles, and each time overcome various obstacles with an effort, we naturally receive much greater benefit from this.

Question: Should a person feel ashamed that he cannot pray? He feels that his heart is not opening and experiences some kind of shame.

Answer: The person should still try to pray and read from the prayer book. Gradually, it will become clear to him what is written in these texts and how to turn to the Creator to learn something from such correct treatment.

Question: Should everyone pray according to the prayer book, or can they do it on their own if they feel that the Creator hears them?

Answer: You can do it on your own, but you still need to read the prayer book.

Question: When we correctly raise MAN, the response from the Creator comes to us in the form of MAD. Is it possible to understand whether our MAN was accepted or not?

Answer: Of course, this can be understood through the attitude of the Creator toward me: I am for the Creator and the Creator is for me.

Question: We act in the center of the connection of the ten. How can we discern the attitude of the Creator toward us through our prayer?

Answer: Treat Him as correctly as possible, and after that begin to read His response in the relationships between you.

Question: What changes? Is it some level of unity between us?

Answer: Everything changes. Absolutely everything.

Question: If we receive blessings in intention, does it mean that the specific action we perform does not matter?

Answer: If this action leads to the dissemination of Kabbalah and correction of the world, then this action is of course desirable and higher than others. We work on the intention for the action. Intention alone, without action, has no right to exist.

Question: There is the intention we create before the action. And there is the true intention that we receive as a result of our efforts in the actions. How can I understand if I am feeling the true intention or if I am deceiving myself?

Answer: Deceive yourself, it does not matter. The main thing is that you are engaged in the work.

When a person does some corporeal lust, the lust is not regarded as a construction because it is only temporary. When the lust passes away, nothing is left of it, such as eating and drinking, and so forth. But when one learns or prays, this exists after the action, too (Rabash, Notes 690 “This World and the Future”).

Question: What remains after our spiritual action, study, and prayer?

Answer: The overall impact on our relationship system remains. After all, the fact that we were in prayer for unification and uplift is all the impact on the system.

Question: How can we build the right intention so that the system really changes and we correct something in our prayer, in our studies?

Answer: This is what Rabash writes about. If a person means that through his actions and prayers he wants to rise, then gradually this affects the system, and it lifts him up.
