Question: When does bestowing to the Creator come from inner resistance and when out of gratitude? What is the difference in these forms for the Creator and for a person?

Answer: The difference is very significant. Bestowing can come from internal resistance or above internal resistance, meaning, without it, or out of gratitude. These are three different states of a person in relation to the Creator.

What is preferable? It is preferable if a person feels that as if he has no connection with the Creator at all.

He needs to overcome himself in order to start feeling a connection with the Creator, and then draw closer to Him, check, think about what he can do for the Creator. And then ask the Creator to help him pull himself out of this state, lift himself up in order to turn to the Creator with a request, and thus move forward.

Comment: We conducted a workshop on the topic “Why do prayers fail?” But if my prayer is for my friends to reveal the Creator, I won’t know if they have revealed Him or not.

My Response: You’ll be the first to know about it. That is what it says in Rabash’s article: “The one who prays for his friend is the first to receive.”

You should know the first twenty articles of Rabash by heart! There are also other articles.

Question: I know that. The question is something else. You said I should forcibly think about the good of the friends, imagine the most ideal state, and ask the Creator for it for my friends. If I pray for the Creator to unite all my friends constantly and return to this thought many times during the day, what is wrong with my prayer?

Answer: Who said it is wrong?

Comment: If it is not answered, it is incorrect.

My Response: That is what is wrong, you are waiting for an answer to it. So you are working for a reward.

If you repeat the same prayer all the time and clarify what else you can add or remove from it so it comes as much as possible from the depths of your heart, this is your reward.

Question: So the reward is that the Creator gives me the opportunity to ask and constantly returning to this request during the day?

Answer: That is why it is said: “Schar HaMitzvah–Mitzvah“—”The reward for good deed is a good deed.”

Question: Let’s assume that there is not just blind nature, but the upper force, the upper mind, that develops us. What is the problem with our narrow egoism in relation to the upper force?

Answer: The fact is that we are not trying to break out of it. We wish to use it every moment to solve every issue and dominate others.

Comment: But the Creator Himself placed this narrow egoism in us.

My Response: Yes, but precisely so that by correcting it we would thus attain the nature of the Creator in relation to the nature of egoism and rise above ourselves.

That is, the egoistic nature was placed within us so that we would feel it for ourselves, realize it, and want to change it. This is the purpose of creation.

Question: Should all of humanity realize the evil of egoistic nature or only special people who should lead humanity?

Answer: In the end, absolutely everyone.

Question: How can you feel another person’s suffering and at the same time see the great love and care of the Creator behind it?

How can you not be callous to another person’s pain?

Answer: If you think about it, it will gradually come.

Question: What is more important now: to see the love of the Creator or to enter the Hisaron of another person and feel his pain? What should we look at first?

Answer: You need to look at how close you are to others and try to help them in all their actions.

Question: You said that the Creator is displeased with us and as a result, with you. Does the Creator also evaluate us, your students, based on the success of our children, meaning those to whom we spread the teachings and those we care for?

Answer: The Creator evaluates you based on the extent to which each of you can annul yourself to come together as one group. His evaluation is derived from this.

Question: Can a person identify his spiritual problem if the Creator sends him an illness in some specific organs? For example, if his throat, hip, arm, and so on start to hurt?

Answer: He can. What difference does it make what hurts? If the Creator simultaneously gives him the opportunity and strength to turn to Him, it does mean suffering but suffering of love.

Question: How can one move from corporeal suffering to suffering of love?

Answer: You must constantly think about this: in what way are you distant from the Creator, why do you not feel Him near you or inside you, or yourself inside Him?

Question: If a friend reveals his desire, does that give me something to work on to fulfill it?

Answer: That is incorrect. That is not how it works. The fulfillment of a friend’s desire is the work of the Creator.

Question: Then how should we work? For example, we have a great friend. We met with him before the gathering of friends, exchanged opinions, and united. He somehow drew me closer to himself, and I felt his desire. During the gathering of friends, I felt him as I did not feel myself; I was like him.

Answer: This is not a good action, because in this way he attaches you to himself and deprives you of freewill.

Question: Then I am sure that this problem exists for everyone. It exists in families and couples. In families, usually the stronger one kind of attaches the other to themselves. Should it be the same with a friend?

Answer: No, family is a completely different matter. Leave earthly sensations aside. This is incorrect.

There are people who can give another person a sense of a small upper illumination and thus attach him to themselves. This is wrong. By doing this, they deprive the person of freedom, the realization of action. This should not be done.

For a while, I had a teacher who liked to play with this. But when I moved to Rabash, this completely stopped. Rabash never used this.

Showing a person upper actions, the quality of bestowal, the spiritual world, before he can perceive and exist in it himself is not allowed because you deprive a person of the freedom of development. It is like giving a child the solutions to the tasks set before him, which harms him.

Question: How can the Creator help me see my friends more connected?

Answer: It is very simple! Ask for it and that is all.

With everything you have, turn only to the Creator. Not to me, not to your friends—only to Him. This is the most reliable way. You will see that the answers, salvation, everything comes to you from there.

Question: What is concealed in the action in which we relate any thought in any pleasure to the Creator? Why do we need to perform such an action?

Answer: It is in order to attract the influence of the Creator upon us. It heals us physically and spiritually, elevates us to the next level of closeness with the Creator, and helps us correctly perceive our world in our feelings and our mind.

Question: If we already truly feel that there is no taste in the pleasures of the past and the present day, what method should we choose to add taste to life?

Answer: The simplest method. When you enjoy life, think of the Creator. Whatever you enjoy—color, music, children, women, food, or smells—you should relate it to the Creator and thank Him for influencing you in this way.

Question: When the greatness of the goal disappears in the group, does it mean that we are not doing enough?

Answer: Yes, you need to fight against this. The most dangerous thing is when the greatness disappears, and then everything else follows.

Question: What will protect us from losing the greatness of the goal?

Answer: Nothing will protect you if you do not protect yourself.
