Comment: You say that the criteria of spiritual work is my good attitude toward my friends. For example, I rarely come to the group. It suits me as everyone is very nice to me. It turns out, a good attitude is an insufficient criterion.

My Response: This is because you are putting yourself in the position of a guest in this way.

Come to the group regularly and try to connect to your friends between lessons and get closer to the Creator through them. If you miss this opportunity, it goes to your disadvantage.

You must be connected to the ten and be ready to perceive any states you feel for the approval of the Creator. Then, you will constantly feel you can come closer to Him every minute.

Question: When I am in a group, everything is fine. I feel a state of sublimity, gratitude, love, and the presence of the Creator. But outside the group, in the surrounding world, everything is completely different. What is this condition?

Answer: This is how it should be in the world around us.

Comment: I feel that I am becoming angry, unresponsive to others, closed, and constrained.

My Response: At first this is the correct state. But you need to understand that this is the way this world is, and you are being shown its real quality. Yet, you still have to show your good attitude not only to your friends in the group, but also to everyone around you.

Question: Should this relationship be mutual or only the way the Creator wants them to be?

Answer: It must be good.

Question: In our group, everyone is very involved in the study of Pticha (Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah). But I personally do not feel it because this is the study of mechanics; I want some feelings and strengthening of the connection. If I have an aversion to Pticha, is it a state of descent or is it just not suitable for me?

Answer: Slowly return to Pticha and you will see that one day it will capture you and begin to reveal to you such things that you would like to listen to.

The fact that it is repelling you now does not matter. Try to experience the feelings behind these mechanics, and then it will capture you.

Question: What is Shabbat in our inner work at each degree?

Answer: The Sabbath (Shabbat) is a spiritual state when we rise above all our egoistic actions and intentions and reach a completely different level of relations with each other. Therefore, Shabbat is considered a day of rest from work, since we are no longer connected with egoism, but rise above it.

On Shabbat our spiritual work is completed by the Creator, from whom we receive the force of bestowal and love.

Question: What do we do on the Sabbath by ourselves?

Answer: We only ask the Creator to help us to be in bestowal and love. The state of Shabbat does not cancel our inner work. We must be careful not to fall from this level.

Question: What is more important in our work, truth or love, and what is the difference between them?

Answer: We must discover the truth and start loving it because it is the only thing that exists in nature and we need to connect with it.

Question: What should I do if I do not see this truth in the friends?

Answer: You have to correct yourself, them, and the connection between you until you get a general feeling that you exist in the truth.

Question: Do we need to do this through truth or through love?

Answer: Love draws you closer to each other, and establishing the correct relationship is the truth.

Question: When our international group gathers together, do you somehow feel its common desire differently?

Answer: Yes. It is stronger and broader. It comes with greater necessity. It is more vivid and explicit.

People come from all corners of the world with very serious intentions, very serious desires. Their presence here strongly influences everyone. In essence, they evoke the primary desire that I work on.

These periods when all groups come together for congresses are the most powerful. And then, when we collectively enter the sensation of the upper world, meaning, we create above us a spiritual sensor with our common desires, we practically don’t even need to communicate with each other.

I remember traveling with Rabash to several Kabbalists he communicated with, and I would ask him, “So, did he reveal himself?” Rabash would reply, “No, he didn’t want to reveal himself. Although we talked to him, he internally closed himself off so much that I can’t say anything about him.”

Such a thing exists among Kabbalists. We have yet to come to that. The stages, the development, we are going through, have had no analogues in the world. And today, the whole world is returning to the perception of eternity and perfection, as we were at the beginning of our origin.

Therefore, to say that everything happening in the world now is analogous to what happened with Kabbalists throughout history, we cannot. Today, a completely new system is emerging—a true one! The Kabbalists of the past prepared everything for us.

Question: What kind of effort is it in our work when faith constantly protects us from the entry of strangers into holiness?

Answer: This effort is aimed at preventing egoistic thoughts from interfering with us. We must protect ourselves from egoistic attitudes toward each other.

If everyone in the ten pays attention to this, then you will succeed.

Question: So we can assume that in the end this effort will benefit us?

Answer: This will be of benefit only when you selflessly love others and do not pay attention to whether they love you.

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: What is the Torah from the point of view of Kabbalah, and what actions are called commandments?

Answer: In the wisdom of Kabbalah, which explains the structure of the whole universe, the qualities of the Creator and His attitude toward us, there is a section called the Commandments of the Torah.

The commandments are not the mechanical implementation of the laws of the Torah at the level of our world, but the laws of the upper world that we must implement if we want to correspond to them.

The point is, in our world, if we want to feel the positive reaction of nature to our actions, we must know how to behave with it, not to lead it to destruction, burnout, flooding, and other cataclysms. That is, do what is beneficial for nature, and then it will be good for us.

The same applies to the laws explained in the Torah called commandments. These are laws of the higher level. They are about our inner attitude to the spiritual nature: how I should treat people, inanimate, animate, vegetative nature, myself, my loved ones, and so on.

That is, the Torah in principle, explains to us the entire code of laws and rules of behavior in the world around us so that we can influence it properly, and then accordingly, the world too will be tuned to us correctly.

Question: The Book of Zohar says: “A commandment without intention is like a body without a soul.” What does this mean?

Answer: This means that the most important thing is the intention: what do you want to get out of fulfilling the commandment?

Either you want to get closer to the Creator, make things pleasant for Him, or somehow put the forces of the world in order, into which you are incorporated. That is very important! Therefore, the most important thing is understanding the commandment’s inner meaning.
