What Needs To Be Expressed in a Prayer?

522.01Question: If I have a specific intention and effort in my work to bring contentment to the Creator and no other desires, is this a mistake? Am I deluded or on the right path?

Answer: I think these are still your small egoistic definitions. Does the Creator feel good because you are in this state?

Comment: I do not know. All my work is only for Him, so I hope He feels good.

My Response: Does He want to see you in this state?

Comment: No, He wants me to work even more.

My Response: What do you need for this?

Comment: To study the sources, unite in a group, and correct my desires towards bestowal.

My Response: Exactly. All this needs to be expressed in prayer, and try to convey this prayer to the Creator. I feel that you will succeed.

A Remedy for Indifference

530Question: How should I deal with my egoistic calculations regarding my contribution to the group when I feel indifferent to this contribution?

After all, egoism is like fuel for work. What if it is not there, what should I do?

Answer: If there is no egoism, that is very bad!

The worst thing is indifference. If you feel empty, if your eyes see nothing, your heart feels nothing, and the “gears” in your brain area not turning at all, that is very, very bad!

Nothing will help you until you come to the group, make a small meal for them, and say: “Friends, I am dead, you are now sitting at my memorial service. Let’s drink in memory of me.” You will see how much this will help you. It will help!

Reveal All the Paths of the Torah

595.03Mishpat (law) establishes attainment, and it is forbidden to subtract from it but only add the opinion of the Torah.

And Chok (statute) is the level of concealment, which is faith above reason, and it is forbidden to add reasoning to it (Rabash, “And You, Israel“).

Question: What should we conceal in our work and what should we attain? What is considered law, and what is considered statute for us?

Answer: We must attain everything possible and conceal everything that hinders us, that impedes our spiritual advancement. As a result, we will see what yesterday or in the past concealed the path from us, today, on the contrary, becomes part of our path.

And so, we will gradually reveal all the paths of the Torah for ourselves.

How Can We Receive from the Creator Correctly?

232.1Question: What do we actually bestow to the Creator?

Answer: Our desires and aspirations to get closer to Him, to become like Him, this is what we can bestow to Him.

We can use the desire to receive for the sake of bestowal only after restriction, when we can again open ourselves and say: “I want to receive this from You because it gives You pleasure.” Then the Creator bestows.

Question: How then can we receive correctly in the ten?

Answer: First you need to prepare the correct intention so that you can turn to the Creator. You must have the desire to do something for Him just as the Creator does for us.

When you position yourself against the Creator in this way and wish to receive from Him with the intention of bringing Him pleasure rather than yourself, then He gives, and you feel that He is filling you. From there, you will understand how to act.

How Can We Understand Who We Are Talking To?

938.01Question: We go through certain states, but we do not understand at all what is happening to us. How do we know who we are talking to? In which Kli? How should we articulate our actions?

Answer: Suppose you are given some problem. Talk to your friends and describe this problem.

How do you establish a connection between each other and with the Creator? What desires do you include in the conversation between each other and with the Creator? What do you want to happen with these desires so that you can feel the Creator as you feel each other? Then everything will work out.

Move Forward

254.01Question: How should we properly work with the impressions that the Creator sometimes gives in a dynamic way so that something becomes clearer to us? It seems that some fragment of His governance is revealed, but then everything is erased, and it is clear that it was just another stage, and a new degree is ahead.

Answer: So what? You need to work with what you receive and what is revealed to you.

Question: So should we trust such a state? Or should we somehow restrict it, doubt it?

Answer: No, in no case should you doubt it. Accept it from the Creator wholeheartedly and move forward to the new level.

Learn to Recognize Evil

626Question: What is the process of realizing evil? Let’s say the first stage is when I begin to separate: there is me and there is my ego that I have received from above. I no longer associate myself with it. The second stage is when I start feeling ashamed by it and feel its evil. The third stage is when I want to get rid of it. Is this correct?

Answer: Yes, but these are long processes. There are many more steps here and we have to go through them.

Question: Is it possible to learn the realization of evil or does it happen naturally within a person?

Answer: It is possible and necessary. If we do not study it, then we will be going through all of this by the forces of nature. It will start forcing us, pushing us, and beating us, and we will still have to change

Question: Where in society can one get an example of ideal relations?

Answer: There is nowhere in society that one can get such examples. We have to start from zero. After all, there are four types of egoism in every person. We gradually have to correct each type from zero to the fifth level.

Buy the Truth

096Question: It is said to buy the truth and not sell it. How can one internally attune themselves to properly transmit divine truth through themselves without losing it?

Answer: This happens when you understand everything you feel and receive from the Creator, and you wish to correct it to return it to Him, to respond to Him. Moreover, the response must be correct and very heartfelt, as you want to cling to the Creator with all your heart and soul.

Question: Is the truth an all-encompassing global love, and can we only feel it through the heart by letting go of everything else?

Answer: Yes, but much effort and scrutiny are necessary to reach such a state. However, once this is all attained, no further scrutiny is required.

Question: Where does the desire to buy the truth come from?

Answer: From the connection with friends when you lack the opportunity to cling to the Creator, to the states you are going through, to understand them more deeply.

One Cannot Manage without the Creator

214Question: Can people realize the evil of their egoistic nature without knowing about the upper force that created this evil?

Answer: Of course. This information is not necessary for some people. They can simply receive a proper upbringing under which influence they will change.

Comment: But it is said that the Creator created evil and the Torah as a means of correction. It turns out that one cannot manage without the Torah.

My Response: The Torah is the upper light, the highest altruistic force, which we must draw to ourselves. Then it will correct us. Without this, it is very difficult.

Comment: So without the Creator, it is impossible to recognize evil.

My Response: Generally, yes.

Feel Free to Contact the Creator

549.02Question: If we only have the desire to receive, where does the impulse of the desire to give to the Creator and nullify come from? Due to what forces? And how can we capture and use these forces?

Answer: We have these forces in the required quantities. Don’t think about where they come from. Or you can ask the Creator or even without asking, tell Him that you want to do this and that for Him.

Comment: My desire is very selfish.

My Response: So what? It is ok. The main thing is to calmly and freely turn to Him.
