Question: What is constant mercy?
Answer: Frankly speaking, I do not know what constant means. But mercy is manifested when the Creator hears us, cares for us, and responds to our questions, requests, and prayers.

Question: We should ask the Creator for the quality of bestowal. How can a creature ask for a quality that is not initially inherent in its nature?
Answer: It can ask. Initially we naturally only want to receive, but through our lives and interactions with others, we also bestow. Therefore, we are capable of both.
I think it is important to understand that prayer should truly come from the heart to the Creator, and it should be for your connection in the ten or for your friends.
Question: Should prayer in the ten be simultaneous, like an attack, or should it flow smoothly between us, with us complementing each other throughout the day?
Answer: Both.

Question: What is the difference between the broken particles of the common soul? How do they differ one from another?
Answer: The difference between the broken particles lies in their original state. The light that comes to us descends through ten Sefirot and forms completely different properties.
The light is unified; however, when it appears in the desire to receive, it breaks into multitude of properties and manifests through these properties in various expressions.
Such expression of the opposite properties of the light within a desire is precisely the personality of a person.
This is not us, but rather, the light that passes through certain egoistic layers divides into a multitude of lights and in this way manifests to us in various states.

Question: I am suffering more and more from my faults, but this is how the concealed light affects me. How can we feel the suffering from the absence of the light of the Torah if we do not know what it is?
Answer: It does not matter whether you studied the Torah or not. Your desire to get closer to the Creator is felt as a deficiency for the revelation of the Creator. Therefore, even if you have not studied anything, the desire for this is still the most important thing.
Question: We often hear that we must proceed with faith above reason. It is written: “He can believe above reason that he does not understand. Nevertheless, above reason we do not feel the lack.” What is this state “above reason”? We do not feel lack there.
Answer: Ordinary faith is philistine faith. We must try to enter the state of faith above reason. Let’s say that now you read something and decided that you will definitely follow some rule that is written in the text.
It does not matter how much you understand it or not, whether you like it or not, but you accept it upon yourself, and this means that in relation to this position you are in faith above reason, which obliges you to move forward even if you do not know, do not see, and do not feel what you read.
Question: But if some understanding has come to a person and he does not feel the lack anymore, how does this work?
Answer: You will feel it.

Question: It is said that love is something that relates to holiness. How can we build such a relationship in the ten so that love really relates to holiness?
Answer: This will happen when you treat your friends in the ten as you treat yourself. Imagine yourself in their shoes and treat them the way you would like them to treat you.
Question: We want to build a common Kli. How can I correctly imagine our mutual inclusion with friends so that holy love is revealed between us?
Answer: The general Kli consists of such private relationships.
Question: What is love that is manifested by the property of holiness? I’m not talking about just some kind of good attitude toward my friends, love of our world, but about the property of holiness in love?
Answer: The property of holiness is when a person perceives another person, every part of him, as himself.
Question: Is this some kind of transfer of one’s “I” into friends or another reality?
Answer: This is simply the law of love. Nothing else is said here.

Question: In Rabash’s article “By Your Actions, We Know You,” it is written that human thought is completely unable to comprehend the Creator. Why do we need so many thoughts and scrutinies on the path?
Answer: It is through thoughts that we get closer to Him. But it is impossible to understand the Creator Himself with our thoughts.
Question: Then through what do we attain Him? Or should we not even strive to understand Him?
Answer: Indeed you should not even strive for it. We must try to feel the effects of the Creator on us and from them, turn to Him.
Question: Our brain finds the connection between all events as part of the overall picture and does not stop. Do we need to restrict these thoughts?
Answer: Partly yes. But usually, we do this while studying, when we limit everything except those desires and thoughts that lead us to a goal—connection with the Creator. That is my advice to you first of all.

Question: Let’s say I have a spiritual desire, but don’t have opportunity because I have a lack in the corporeal world. Is it possible to ask the Creator for the material world?
Answer: As a rule, no. A person must rise to the Creator based on what the Creator gives him.
Question: But we always say you need to ask the Creator for what you want. What if spirituality has already been achieved, the spiritual state has arrived, but the development of one’s spirituality without corporeality cannot be achieved?
Answer: Have you already reached a spiritual state?
Comment: At least that is what I think.
My Response: Then you have nothing to ask for corporeally or spiritually.

Question: Why is a person not given the ability to attain the essence of the Creator?
Answer: It is so a person will strive for it on his or her own. In this way they develop desires through which they can come to the revelation of the Creator.
Question: So does that mean we do have the ability to attain the essence of the Creator?
Answer: No, we do not attain the essence of the Creator at all. Where can it be attained? In our desires we can only collect perceptions. In other words, our desires change under some external influence. It is these changes in desires that we feel.
For now, this is enough. Start with this.

Question: You said that friends who do not want to study should not be touched because this will be worse for both them and us. Lately you have said we must be more patient with such friends, but at the same time forces arise in the ten that tear us apart from the inside and weaken us. How can we protect ourselves from this?
Answer: You must create conditions in the ten that make it convenient for everyone to study and pray so there is a common desire to reach the ten and move forward.
Question: We will not drag them by force if they do not want to study. What then? How can there be suitable conditions for everyone?
Answer: A lesson is a lesson. In class you need to be serious and united with others.

Question: What is the basis of prayer?
Answer: The basis of prayer is your request: What do you want from the Creator? You should think it over carefully, talk to each other, and decide what is important for you to ask the Creator for. Then you will form a really serious prayer.
Question: Should the basis of prayer be from the group or can it be individual for each person?
Answer: Individual prayer is rarely accepted. The Creator clearly answers the prayer that comes from everyone in the group and only from the heart.
