Question: How can we develop sensitivity to the constant influence of the Creator and cling to each Hisaron in a timely manner in order to develop an even greater need for bestowal and realize it through prayer?

Answer: It depends only on a person. If one is constantly focused on how much egoism prevents one from getting closer to the Creator, then he feels an urgent need to get out of the ego.

Then he cries out to the Creator, and He hears him. This is how a person reaches the Creator.

Question: On one hand there is a union of language, silence. On the other hand, there is a great desire to speak, to spread. How can we combine these two great desires?

Answer: First there should be a desire to unite in tens, then in hundreds, in thousands.

If people have such an opportunity, then they should expand the circle in which they are more and more, wider and wider, until this whole circle includes all of humanity.

Question: How can you change an egoistic prayer into a correct one so the Creator begins to act?

Answer: The desires we feel in our impulses are neither egoistic nor altruistic. It is just a feeling of being created as I am, and this is my desire.

Afterward, through our development, we give the desire a vector when we direct it at the ten, the whole of humanity, and the Creator.

That is how we want to see the whole system: man, the ten, humanity, that is, the entire world Kli, and the Creator together. That is the main focus and goal of our efforts.

Therefore, we must imagine the picture we want to achieve during prayer.

Question: It feels like we overcome weaker desires only to uncover a new layer of stronger egoism. Is this how we reach the abyss?

Answer: Yes, it is said that whoever is greater than his friend, his evil inclination is greater.

Question: Must a person willingly agree to enter this abyss by being confident that the Creator will deliver him from there?

Answer: Of course, we receive all our desires from the Creator, so as we ascend to Him, we must ask for His help in overcoming them.

Turn to the Creator. You have someone to turn to. He will surely hear you, and you will see the actions that follow.

Question: It is said that descents are given so that a person feels that they are in exile and asks for mercy. Why is it necessary to ask for mercy specifically?

Answer: Because it helps you when you turn to the Creator and draw His attention to you.

Mercy is when the Creator takes into account your descent and wishes to help you.

Question: But we know that the Creator always hears our prayers. What is special about the moment when He shows mercy?

Answer: When you show the same mercy to each other, then the Creator acts the same way toward you.

Question: Rabash writes that if a person does not strive for truth, he cannot live. But we see different people around us living in different ways. What is living in pursuit of truth in this case?

Answer: By life, we mean life in connection with the Creator. It can only be if you live in truth. Therefore, the search for the Creator is an all-encompassing aspiration.

You must strive for Him in prayer and request, and you must search to reach Him. All of our articles should direct you to the Creator.

Question: As you know, everyone has their truth, thanks to our egoism. How can the genuine truth be determined?

Answer: To do this, you must first feel true egoism, and then move from it to the genuine truth.

Question: How do you prepare the hearts in the ten to feel the need for the Creator’s help if you feel that hearts are closed, that they are asleep?

It seems like you need help, but you cannot even ask.

Answer: Pray that all of you unite and ask.

Comment: I am praying, but it feels like it is getting worse.

Answer: No, it is not getting worse. It is just that you actually begin to see that the Creator is hidden from you.

Question: How do we come to the timely understanding of the wickedness of the evil inclination both in actions and intentions in order to ask the Creator for correction and to be worthy of His love?

Answer: Regarding this, you should agree within your ten to constantly think that you are in exile from the desire to bestow and you need to exit the desire to receive, which is called Egypt. Then you will see and receive everything there is, except exile.

Question: What should be done to show the Creator our desire to build a connection with Him and be rewarded with true love for Him?

Answer: To do this, first of all, it is necessary to unite with your friends in the ten. And then turn to the Creator and ask Him to raise you from this state to Him.

Question: Does it need to be done more internally or externally, at meetings and common events?

Answer: The most important is internally, but externally is also necessary.

Question: Is it possible to reveal the Creator in the desire to reach perfection?

Answer: No, we cannot aspire to see that perfection already exists. We must ourselves reveal what is lacking in us to reach it. Then we need to ask the Creator to correct this imperfection so that it is added to perfection. That is when we will see the final correction (Gmar Tikun).

Question: To reach final correction, we need to bring the whole world to the Creator and raise a request for correction of the entire creation. We see that the whole world is constantly pulling us back. How do we correctly engage in prayer?

Answer: First of all, we need to understand that the correction of the world depends on us. Therefore, the fact that the whole world is against us is the case when we are responsible for the entire world.

Question: What is your opinion about how we are progressing toward the exalted purpose?

Answer: I believe that we are approaching it and will be able to achieve it, perhaps even this year, from this Purim to the next Purim. It is quite possible the upper Kli and upper fulfillment, that is, the upper world, will at least begin to open up for us.

Question: Which is more important: to be happy with the revelation of evil or to ask for a way out of Egypt?

Answer: The joy of revealing evil is not yet a finished action. And the request to leave Egypt is already a more conscious state.

The children of Israel cried out to the Creator to bring them out of Egypt. At the same time their similarity to Him was that they wanted to get out of their state and achieve the opposite: liberation from egoism.

Question: If we feel bad and we try to escape from this place, does it also come from the ego?

Answer: A place is a desire. We try to escape from egoistic desire, to make efforts, and to ask the Creator to help us do this. To our weak efforts, like those of a small child, the Creator gives His help, and then our efforts turn into action. This is how we ascend the steps of the spiritual ladder to the Creator.
