Lukas from Lithuania asks: “Today there are no leaders, no authorities. Who should we follow?”

Answer: That is true. But why do you need to follow someone? Follow yourself! Elevate your soul, fill it a little with the Creator’s light so that it illuminates the path you are on, and move forward. Move forward, you do not need anyone! You have a spark of the Creator within you, and it will lead you to Him.

Question: So are you saying, “Follow the Creator, He is your leader”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is it possible to set myself up for that? People are usually inclined to follow some leader with a charismatic personality.

Answer: Only follow the Creator.

Question: Is it possible to make the Creator your leader and follow only Him? Is it possible to live like that?

Answer: I believe that it is the task of every person.

Question: If Hisaron raises me to prayer, to merge with the Creator, this is good. Let it be so until the end of correction. Or should I still see the importance of my friends gathering in the lessons rises for me that my friends?

Answer: You have to collect and lift all this yourself.

Question: In letter 24 of Rabash, there is a phrase: “And may the Creator assist us in the corporeal and the spiritual.” I understand when we say that the Creator assists us in the corporeal. What does it mean to “assist” us spiritually? What kind of hope is this?

Answer: For Him to give us the correct desire.

Question: What does it mean to cherish the relationship of man to the Creator and the Creator to man?

Answer: So that the relationship between them is direct.

Question: We get a lot of blows and raise a lot of prayers. How can we move from the quantity of prayers to a qualitative prayer? I have a feeling that it is better to get one blow, but one that gets to us.

Answer: Quality will come with time.

Question: How can I reach the despair that I am weak and cannot connect with others to reveal the quality of bestowal between us called “the Creator“?

Answer: You do not need to aim for despair. If I am heading toward despair, I am already in despair! I have nowhere else to go. I should aim for victory!

My victory will be in reaching despair with my own strength, but when I reach despair with my own strength, I find the opportunity to turn to the Creator at that exact point.

Question: Let us say I have an exciting question that I cannot find an answer to. What do I need to do: write on a piece of paper, turn to the inner teacher, or tune in to the fact that I will hear the answer through my friends, through the sources, through the lesson, through you?

Answer: We need to write and talk to our friends. Then, our inner state will change, and we will be able to understand ourselves more.

Question: How can I strengthen myself in direct connection with the Creator?

Answer: Exactly the way you want it to be. Think so, do so, say so, and ask.

Question: We have two places where we get energy from. That is an ordinary place where we live, and energy comes to us from the environment, loved ones, and even partially from the group. And there is an upper place where we turn to the Creator, do some actions through the ten, and receive energy from the Creator. Does it mean that protecting ourselves from the influence of the environment is to empty the lower part and receive energy only from our actions of bestowal?

Answer: No, keep asking, and you will see from practice how much will be distributed to your desires.

Question: Is it possible to eventually come to a state where we independently keep the restriction and decide for ourselves what not to receive, even if the Creator wants to give it us, but we live only from the action of bestowal?

Answer: Yes, this is also possible.

Question: When I see imperfection, I pray to the Creator and instantly feel perfection. This filling of perfection simply extinguishes all my questions and queries. How do I stay in prayer all the time?

Answer: This happens because all your actions are for yourself. If they were for filling others, you would not feel fulfilled.

You would act to fill them, and you would feel the perfection of the Creator in creation, and yourself—only so that this perfection is revealed to others.

And then this state would be permanent, eternal.

The Creator has made man unable to help himself. …The Creator has made the hardening of the heart, so that man will be unable to overcome the evil in him and will need the Creator. By this, man will need to be rewarded with the NRNHY of Neshama (Rabash, Article 1, 1989, “What Is the Extent of Teshuva [Repentance]?”).

The Creator did everything so that a person cannot reveal the upper world and the Creator, but one will feel a need for Him and turn to Him with a request that obliges the Creator to help him or her.

That is the “hook” that we must make. On the one hand, we yearn to attain the Creator, to reveal Him; it seems possible, and we rush forward headlong. On the other hand, we stumble, fall, make mistakes, and become increasingly convinced that we cannot do it on our own.

When a person reaches the greatest devastation, the greatest disappointment, and raises one’s hands because he realizes that one has no way to reveal the Creator, but on the other hand, a person still cannot leave it, he must comprehend Him—these are the two opposite forces, properties, sensations, and passions that begin to form in him and it is the vessel in which the Creator reveals Himself.

Thus, a desire to attain the Creator and a disappointment in the impossibility of doing it reveal within a person. Then, between these two forces, the Creator is revealed.

Question: What is the correct intention that the light of the Creator will enter into?

Answer: The correct intention is to make an effort to do a good deed to bring souls closer to each other so that the Creator can reveal Himself in them and they can feel the pleasure that He can dwell within them.

The correct intention is to unite our desires so that the Creator can fulfill them.

Question: One of the top five most popular words lately, especially now in Israel, is “Tehillim,” the Psalms of David. After all, is it written in the genetics of people that when I am anxious, when I feel bad, I should turn to the Psalms of David?

Answer: That is why he wrote them, in general. This is exactly the language, the form, in which we can turn to the Creator.

Comment: But it was he who turned to the Creator.

My Response: It does not matter.

Question: Then it turns out that he exists practically in everyone?

Answer: Of course. This is King David! He is the person closest to the Creator.

Question: And for us, if each of us turns to Tehillim, to the Psalms of David, does it mean that he is in us too, the closest to us?

Answer: He is partially inside us, of course, inside each of us.

Question: Are we talking about more than just the Jewish people? Are we talking about the whole world?

Answer: Yes, King David is universal to the whole world.

Question: Is there is a point called King David and Psalms every person in the world?

Answer: Yes, that is why they are so popular. That is why everyone sings them.

Comment: All religions…

My Response: Yes.

Question: Please tell me, does reading Psalms help psychologically?

Answer: Not only. This is a real help from above. They have strength; let us say, the power of protection.

David was strongly connected with the Creator, with the upper world. He was a king. That is, he paved this connection to the Creator. And therefore, his Psalms are the most important.

Question: Now, there is a question: Did King David really write them?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Was he thinking about writing them for us or was he simply spilling out what was inside him, the cry of his heart and soul?

Answer: I think he was simply describing what he felt.

Question: Why did he write them? He could have just said it all? Moreover, the feeling is that everything naturally comes out from the heart.

Answer: Of course, he said it too.

Question: What is happening when a person is writing?

Answer: He is pouring himself out. He is pouring himself onto paper.

Question: So, you advise working like this?

Answer: I recommend it! When a person reaches this state, he does not need advice.

Question: Will it work like this on its own?

Answer: Yes.

Question: It means that this connection of mine with my hand, with what I am writing, will not disappear?

Answer: No.

Question: Despite all the existing devices and recordings?

Answer: No. A person will reach out for a pen, paper, or a knife and stone.

Question: That is, civilization will not affect this in any way?

Answer: No.

Question: When I receive the revelation of the perfection of the Creator, where should I move further in my intention?

Answer: If you feel that you receive everything from Him and you feel good this way, thank Him for it.

As soon as you begin to give thanks, your Kli (vessel) that is filled with this pleasure will be emptied.
Gratitude and prayer, gratitude and request, expand the Kli like nothing else.

Question: How can one be ignited with such desires in which the Creator will be manifest? Sometimes you recall the past and feel like you’re not investing the way you did back then.

Answer: This is good because this is required so you would ask. All our desires, especially unrealistic desires and dreams, are necessary for us to ask the Creator. Only for this.

Collect them all, and nag Him all the time, keep asking. You will see that this is the only thing that helps—not your brains, not your memory, nothing. Just nag like a child who is always picking at an adult and demanding something from him. This is how you can succeed; there is no other way.
