Concentration of the Creator’s Light

944In the verse,Sing unto the Lord; for He has done pride,it seems that “prune” is like “[The Lord is] my strength and song.” This means that we should always prune and cut the thorns off the Creator’s vineyard (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 150, “Sing unto the Lord, for He Has Done Pride”).

Question: What is this vineyard where we have to clear everything of thorns?

Answer: This is our life. We must accept it and transform ourselves within it so that we can enjoy all its fruits without fearing anything.

In corporeal life you pick a bunch of grapes, squeeze, extract the juice, and drink it. In this way, you obtain a concentration of the vitamins you need. In a metaphorical sense, it means that you absorb the best from the world and can consume it.

From a spiritual perspective, the wine made from grapes symbolizes the concentration of the Creator’s light. By uniting with each other, we together as if squeeze the grapes, and from the point of unity turn to the Creator. In response, He fills us with light.

Toward Global Correction

942Question: Lately we have been not just making prayers, but some kind of cry and demand to the Creator to help us correct ourselves so that we can have peace in the world. What is it?

Answer: This means that your heart begins to really open up and demand correction. This will lead us to universal correction.

The most important thing in our work is to unite and feel like we exist together, as if we are one, so that a group or several groups, or all students in general, stop feeling that there is some kind of separation between them. And then we will feel a greater revelation of what we want to attain.

How Can We Not Be Afraid of Obstacles on the Spiritual Path?

276.02Question: What does “the soul teaches a man” mean?

Answer: This means that a person perceives through his soul all the problems that the Creator puts on his path so that he can ask Him for help to overcome them.

Question: How can we not be afraid of obstacles on the path?

Answer: On the contrary, rejoice if problems arise before you because this is a reason to once again contact the Creator, complain to Him, and make some demands.

He will listen to everything with pleasure since He Himself creates obstacles for you so that you will turn to Him, and He Himself will help you overcome them. If it were not for problems, then you would have no reason to maintain contact with the Creator.

The result of the correct appeal to Him should be the feeling of the Creator, His force, because only with its help can you deal with all your problems.

Question: Is there something we bestow to the Creator in this approach?

Answer: Our requests are what we bestow to Him.

Continuous Pleas

534Question: We constantly ask the Creator for the whole society to become one big family. But judging by the fact that we must go by faith above reason, we cannot do it within reason in order for it to be realized.

Let’s say we asked the Creator, “Please make sure that everyone lives together in peace,” but this does not happen. Should I just annul and assume that everything is fine, because otherwise next time I will not be able to ask for it to be realized?

Answer: You must ask for connection with your friends and with the Creator in one state, in the same bundle.

But if you made a request once and left it, then your desire was not real, not serious.

Question: And if I go above reason, will I be able to see the result?

Answer: You will see the result, but after the action is over. By connecting to your source, you will begin to receive filling from it.
