When …he sees that for himself he cannot receive the above-mentioned, then he makes a true prayer that the Creator will help him, and then the Creator makes a miracle for him and gives him the light of faith (Rabash, Notes 638 “Man’s Inclination”).

Question: How can one receive faith not for the sake of miracles, but for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: How can we share the light that descends to us in order to see what it comes for? Is it to give me the power of faith or just to lift me up so that I can see more of what is going on?

I think we need to have a better understanding of what it means to be in faith. We have no idea how great a force this is.

In our world, “faith,” “believer,” “believes” are all somehow lost. But in fact, the power of faith is the power that lifts a person above everything. And then one can control oneself.

Faith above reason does not belong to our earthly level; therefore, it is called a miracle. It is above the laws of nature.

Having little faith means that he does not want only to bestow. “He who makes his voice heard during his prayer is of those of little faith” (Rabash, Notes 606, “Those of Little Faith”).

Question: Does this mean we must suppress the desire to receive so that it does not sound in our voice?

Answer: No, this is not required at all. You can shout or speak to yourself, the Creator will still understand, hear, and take note of everything.

Question: What is the difference between praying aloud and praying silently?

Answer: Whispered prayer can be more effective because a person formulates it inside himself and tries to connect with the Creator.

Question: When I ask for help from the Creator, this prayer comes from my lack of faith, meaning I lack belief and I ask the Creator to help me. What does my prayer consist of when I ask for the ability to bestow?

Answer: Bestowal is a property of the Creator. When you ask for the ability to bestow, you ask Him to give you that ability. In this way, you are trying to come closer to Him, to become like Him.

Question: Man’s main job is to come to a sense of the Creator’s reality. Achieving It can only be through prayer. How can a person keep the prayer that he must come to this feeling within oneself?

Answer: Strive for the Creator always and keep the desire to attain Him in your heart.

Question: Reason prevents us from going in faith above reason. How do we use reason correctly so that it helps us rise above ourselves?

Answer: To do this you need to unite with each other so that everyone can help a friend rise a little bit. If you work together to influence everyone in the ten in this way, you will be able to rise.

Question: When there is a great desire to get closer to the Creator, it is a good state. But what if a person feels the Creator a little bit, then is it not very good anymore?

Answer: It is okay to keep developing this feeling and try to increase it.

Question: When we raise our prayer, should we strive to reveal the Creator or should we pray for the entire world Kli to reveal Him, or maybe even the whole world?

Answer: It is hard to say. It depends on who we are talking to.

In principle, it is important that a person who hears us feels how concerned we are about the internal state of the world. Through our dissemination, we want to convey our inner trepidation to humanity.

Question: If I am constantly fulfilled from meetings with my friends, what will lead me to cry out with the true prayer that we must come to? It seems to me that this joy and fulfillment after meetings takes me away from the goal.

Answer: There is a prayer that leads to the Creator, and there is a prayer that distances one from the Creator, which depends on what a person wants. Therefore, at first, we just want to find out how to unite between ourselves and the Creator in order to make Him bring us closer to Himself. This is the most important thing. This is what we want to achieve first of all.

Question: And how can I compel the Creator?

Answer: Through words, through prayer.

Question: But the Creator does not hear our words.

Answer: He hears, not your words, but your heart. It does not matter what language we speak; the main thing is that we experience the right feelings.

Question: But my heart is busy with fulfillment and pleasure; there is no place in it for crying, for prayer.

Answer: That is what you need to think about and decide which is more important to you: to feel the fulfillment of your heart or its emptiness. As soon as you want to feel the true state of the heart, that is, its emptiness, it will tell you how to proceed.

Question: So after every meeting, I should feel dissatisfied like you did when you studied with Rabash and felt empty and annoyed that you did not understand anything?

Answer: We must feel both suffering and joy.

Question: The Creator gives us the opportunity to think. Is thought our free choice or does the Creator dictate them?

Answer: All our thoughts come from the Creator. He wants us to examine them, choose the ones we want to implement, and thus turn to Him with this request.

Question: Should we realize what the Creator desires or what we desire in these thoughts?

Answer: We must realize what the Creator desires and what we desire as one united whole.

Think about this all the time, for it is said: make your desire like His.

Question: What does “those of little faith” mean?

Answer: “Those of little faith” means a person who has little faith in the Creator.

Question: The Creator desires a sincere inner connection with Him from us. We also want this very much. But why does the Creator not allow us to do it?

Answer: He does allow you to do this, but He increases various obstacles so that you connect with Him even more strongly.

Question: Our thoughts are also prayers. Why is it considered better to whisper your thoughts?

Answer: Because then a person hears himself.

Question: What is the difference in the Creator’s response to a person’s prayer when one asks from a state of recognition of evil versus when one asks from a state that is not yet actualized?

Answer: If you turn to the Creator from an unrealized state, He practically does not respond or He responds with guiding states so you eventually understand what He wants from you.

Question: Do we have the right to change anything in the world, or only to bestow?

Answer: Only to bestow.

Question: Why is the desire to bestow called the power of purification?

Answer: It purifies our egoistic desire and completely orients it toward bestowal.

Question: Now we are praying out of selfishness. What will help us move on to true prayer so that it comes from the quality of bestowal?

Answer: The Creator gradually, imperceptibly to us, changes our desires and sensations so we move from one part of understanding our nature to another.

In the ten this transition is carried out individually for everyone: for one sooner, for another later, depending on one’s qualities and actions.

However, we do not need anything but an urgent request to the Creator, tenacity, and perseverance.

Question: When we read the articles, I have a growing regret that I cannot go beyond the boundaries of egoism. The text pulls you up because there is a completely different quality of existence. Is regret the beginning of a correct prayer?

Answer: Yes, this is already the beginning. Therefore, one should not leave the smallest awakening, but try to develop it all the time.

Small articles can be read many times a day. And in this way you will not allow yourself to stray far from the goal.

Question: In prayer, should we ask for the level of faith and bestowal the Creator wants to give us?

Answer: Preferably. We do not know the level the Creator requires of us, but we can imagine it based on our feelings.

Question: What does this level depend on and how can we present it in order to give the Creator what we are asking?

Answer: It depends on devotion. If you sincerely intend to bestow through your actions, you will start to feel what you are doing concerning the Creator.
