Question: In the article “The Last Generation,” Baal HaSulam writes that the purpose of creation is to adhere to the Creator in terms of qualities from a state opposite to Him. This is why our world and everything that happens here exists.

What does it mean to adhere to the Creator in terms of qualities? How can this happen?

Answer: First and foremost, it means that the qualities opposite to the Creator, which He does not have but we do, we must annul within ourselves, wish not to use them, and make sure they do not manifest. This is the most important thing.

To the extent that a person makes their qualities similar to the Creator’s, they feel Him.

Comment: But the Creator is concealed; we do not have such a model to observe and check ourselves against.

My Response: The Creator is the quality of bestowal and love. If we can change our egoistic qualities, which are opposite to the Creator to qualities similar to His, then in them we will feel what the Creator feels. Practically, we will feel Him Himself.

Question: Can we attribute anything to the Creator one hundred percent if the Creator is hidden from us?

Answer: You can attribute everything that happens to you to the Creator.

Question: Is the concealment only for the desire for oneself?

Answer: The concealment can be for any desire, even the highest.

Question: There is such a desire to open up to the Creator, to dissolve in Him, to cleave to Him, but there is not enough strength to push off and rise. Where can one find this strength?

Answer: In prayer.

Question: With our egoism, we constantly disagree with the will of the Creator. How can we agree and thank Him?

Answer: In principle, a person must agree with the Creator, regardless of their situation. Whatever the Creator gives them, they must still show love and connection to Him.

Question: You said that each time we reveal a new Creator. What does that mean?

Answer: It means that He indeed appears as something new in our feelings.

Question: Suppose a person is ill or has lost their income, these are different levels of suffering. Does the strength of prayer depend on the level of suffering?

Answer: Of course. Every person must determine this for themselves.

Question: Is it possible to say that, according to the root of a person’s soul, the Creator pricks each of us with specific circumstances throughout our lives until the very last day?

Answer: Yes, each of us feels some sort of suffering every second. We do not even realize we are experiencing it because we have become accustomed to it.

Question: Indeed, we get used to suffering, but suddenly, some blow comes and drenches us like a cold shower. How can one cushion it so as not to suffer so much at that moment?

Answer: Do not cut ties with your friends.

Question: Where is the line between annulment before the Creator and inaction?

Answer: The line is in each of your actions. If you wish to work for the Creator, you elevate your actions toward Him; if not, they are directed, as usual, from above downward toward you.

You can bestow only to the extent that you are connected in the ten and directing your desire from the ten upward to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean that my actions of bestowal to the Creator should precede the Creator’s attitude toward me?

Answer: It means that you do not wait for any actions from Him, but you turn to Him first and always act this way.

Question: How can we feel that the Creator is receiving pleasure?

Answer: We cannot feel this yet. If we have a clear intention to bring the Creator pleasure, then in this intention, we will begin to feel the pleasure that we give Him.

Question: Can we see this through the ten?

Answer: Yes, but not yet. You must have intentions for bestowal and connection between you. If you want to do something for the Creator and get closer to Him, then strive to find the strength within you to bestow to the Creator; ask Him for it, and you will receive this force.

Question: How can we recognize when to act and when to annul ourselves and accept?

Answer: It depends on you. Discuss these topics among yourselves, decide, and pray.

The most important thing is to ask for the force of connection from the Creator. Then everything should work out for you.

Ask the Creator how to use your desires correctly and whether you can direct your feelings and intentions to Him in these desires.

When you think about this together and want to relate everything to the Creator, that is the prayer.

Question: 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.

Question: 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!

Mishpat (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.

Question: 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.
