Hence, one needs to pray pleadingly that the Creator will show him the truth by adding to him the light of the Torah (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 47 “In the Place Where You Find His Greatness”).

Question: It turns out that a person asks the Creator to reveal the truth to him, meaning, his evil inclination. This is a prayer from the left line. Is such a prayer correct?

Answer: No, we must ask the Creator to reveal the truth to us and shed light on our present state.

We need to relate all states, whatever they may be, to the Creator and try to see through them how the Creator wants to bring us closer to Him.

We need to reveal a constant connection with the Creator. That is what we have to think about and ask for.

Raising the hands is when he pulls himself without prayer from being a receiver, whether in mind or in heart, so there will be no hold to the Sitra Achra [other side] (Rabash, “The Meaning of Sins Becoming as Merits”).

After a person raises his hands, he prays to the Creator. He asks for the power of bestowal, the power of love. Nothing can be done without prayer.

We need to constantly work on ourselves, not give up, and be in action all the time to bring us closer together. And then we will see new, better states.

Question: It is said that if the Creator does not respond to your plea, it means that it has not been fully clarified.

What questions can we ask ourselves to get to the bottom of true prayer? How do you do it?

Answer: It is very simple. I live and that’s it. And I try to do in my life what is approved by the Creator.

Question: And how do we get to the bottom of this plea?

Answer: Don’t dig around; do what you need to do as a person who wants to be closer to the Creator.

Question: One day, a woman had a dream that there was the Creator behind the counter of the store. “What can I buy from you?” The woman asked. “You can buy everything from me,” the Creator replied. “Then give me health, happiness, love, success, and a lot of money.”

God went into the back room and returned with a small paper box. “Is that all?” the woman exclaimed. “Yes,” God replied, “didn’t you know that my store sells only seeds?”

So, we have everything we need to grow? Seeds are given to us. The main question is: how can we understand this and how can we grow them? Watering, caring for, and so on?

Answer: This is the meaning of life. It is not easy to understand what the Creator requires of you and how you should behave every moment.

Question: Is this “growing seeds”? To understand what He wants from me and how I should behave?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But this initial one, that I do not need anything around, that everything is in me, how can I come to this?

Answer: You just have to believe in it. Everything is built into me; I just have to try to put myself in the right environment.

Question: Is it called “like seeds in the soil”?

Answer: Yes, and then everything that is necessary will sprout in me.

Question: What do I water these seeds with?

Answer: With your sweat.

Question: So my efforts and in general everything that I go through is what I water these seeds with?

Answer: Yes, and they will germinate.

Question: What would you ask the Creator if, say, He was standing in front of you?

Answer: In principle, the maximum wisdom is to agree with Him in everything. Cancel yourself completely before Him so that no thoughts and feelings arise in addition to what I get from Him.

Question: How do we reveal the Kli to hear the prayer in the ten?

Answer: The more connected you are between yourselves, the more you reveal your connection with the Creator. The work itself is very simple. You just need to strive for unification between you and through that to connection with the Creator every second.

Question: When you lose connection with your friends, your mind tells you that you need to pray for them, but your heart is not ready yet. You want to bestow to them, but you have no strength. At this time should a person ask for the strength to bestow or still to unite with his friends?

Answer: You should still unite with your friends. There is no escape from this. There should be a ten from which we turn to the Creator, ask Him for connection with Him, and He answers us in the same ten.

The ten is our “telephone” through which we talk with the Creator.

Question: How can The Book of Zohar be used to improve the situation in the world? I really do not want to read it abstractly.

Answer: Then read it with the thought that you are thinking about the world. Then you will understand this book more deeply.

Comment: But the text of the book has nothing to do with the events that take place in the world.

My Response: It does not matter. Read The Book of Zohar with the intention that the world will get better even if you do not understand anything. It is like medicine. Take it, and then you will see how it works.

Question: We all unite and ask the Creator for peace in the world so the nations do not suffer disasters but prosper. It is said that if you constantly pray about it, the answer will come immediately.

But people have always asked for that. Why do some nations suffer more than others? Does this mean they are on the path of hastening time (Achishena) more than others? How does this work, what can be done about it?

Answer: The best thing is to unite with each other and turn to the Creator with all problems, and then you will hear from Him where you were wrong in the ten, how to correct yourselves, and how to get closer to the Creator. That is basically our whole work.

If you are united, you can turn to the Creator with anything you want.

Question: What does it mean that the Creator fills the emptiness in me?

Answer: He gives you answers to what you ask for and fills the emptiness through that.

Question: What is the right way to turn to Him so that He does it?

Answer: Ask Him to reveal Himself in the emptiness that He created in advance. You feel it and ask Him to be revealed in it.

Question: Is He sort of at my beck and call like someone serving my desires?

Answer: And so what? You are asking Him to be revealed in this emptiness in order to bring Him contentment.

Question: How do I feel this request?

Answer: This question is not for me. As much as you go deeper into spiritual work, you will reveal your feelings.

Question: When a person feels emptiness and internally and almost unconsciously screams to the Creator, how does his request turn into a conscious, clear, vivid appeal?

Answer: A person must constantly seek connection with the Creator. Even in a state in which there is no Creator, he must try to find Him, ask Him to reveal Himself to him, and fill this emptiness. The Creator specifically creates such sensations in us so that we demand His revelation.

Question: Do we need to work out some kind of intolerance to emptiness within ourselves?

Answer: Yes. Every minute of our lives, we must check ourselves on what we spent it: is it getting closer to our friends, getting closer to the Creator? We must asses what we have achieved or what we are trying to achieve.

If we follow this direction, we will always have a clear idea of how the Creator works in us, especially when He creates an emptiness that He offers to fill with Himself.

That is a place to accelerate and a place to make an effort. There can be no neutral states here.
