Question: The Creator gives both the desire and the thought. How can you agree with Him to go in the same direction along the path of hastening (Achishena) ahead of the blows and bring Him contentment?

Answer: You should ask the Creator. You do not need anything else, just ask and thank, thank and ask.

We must constantly make these two movements toward the Creator.

Question: If we find the strength to pray while immersed in the quality of blackness, then there is a place of merging with the Creator and gratitude. What actions are required of us hereafter?

Answer: To ask, to pray, to speak, to turn to the Creator for any, even the most insignificant reason. All the time, as if to annoy Him. And then you will quickly see His attitude toward you.

We must, as much as we can, not break away from the Creator, feel that we have grasped Him, and are holding Him as close to us as possible. And so we go through life.

Question: Sometimes the thought comes to mind that we want to “receive” the Creator. But we know we belong to the Creator and He can do what is good for us. Then it turns out that the place for efforts disappears, and He does everything for us, as it were. How can this be correlated?

Answer: Everything is much simpler. By turning to the Creator, I know that only He can change my state, save me from any bad state, and raise me to a good one.

I should not doubt that the Creator will provide all this for me. I am in such an environment, a group, a ten, which is sure that the Creator has the possibility to change our states from negative to positive.

In principle, everything depends on Him, but I have to do everything that depends on me.

Question: What is the loss in the heart that leads to a feeling of true lowliness that leads to true prayer?

Answer: It happens that a person does not feel any connection with his friends or with the Creator. He feels completely cut off from spirituality and does not know what to do next.

This condition, on the one hand, is very good because it shakes a person, and on the other hand, it is very acute. At this point, a person must gather all his strength and cry out to the Creator.

Question: If there is a sense of detachment in relation to the connection, then what should our orientation be when everything is open and there is nothing definite?

Answer: You must break all the bad ties between you, instead restore good ties, and think only about how to turn into one big Kli together. You do not need anything else, just to become one single heart.

Question: What does it mean that as the differences are corrected they disappear? After all, everyone has their own root of the soul, and connection allows you to reveal even more clearly the individual characteristics of each desire.

Answer: Although the individual characteristics of each are revealed more clearly, the direction is the same. The meaning of spiritual ascent is for everyone to unite and create a single network that will connect all hearts.

Question: I feel like I do not know how to connect all the World Kli in my heart. But I know you can do it. Can I add my intention to yours?

Answer: Please, I am open to everyone in the world, absolutely everyone. Therefore, join me, I will join you, and together we will strive for complete connection.

In 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.

Question: How do I treat states when it is unclear what the purpose the Creator gives them to me for is? How do I go through them correctly?

Answer: Just ask Him. Moreover, if you think that everything you go through you receive from Him, you have the right to turn to Him and ask any questions.

Question: When I am in the state of “storm,” it is as if it exposes me. At this moment, there is no time to ask the Creator questions. Would it be right just to grit my teeth, shut up, and stop myself?

Answer: Lie low and keep it to yourself. Slowly release what you want to say from your heart. Let the Creator gradually hear all this without words.
