Question: How should each friend feel bestowal in the center of the ten?

Answer: Everyone should feel that they are connected with all the members of the group and want to rise together with them and cling to the Creator.

This is the right aspiration, the right action, and the right feeling.

But now that he has accustomed himself to work in order to bestow, he is rewarded with delighting in the Creator, and the work itself renders him pleasure and vitality. This is considered that the pleasure, too, is specifically for the Creator (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 20. Lishma [For Her sake]).

In the state of Lishma, meaning working for the sake of bestowing to the Creator, a person feels selfless love for Him. A person receives this quality instead of self-love. He thinks only about how to give contentment to the Creator.

Question: To acquire the quality of Lishma, do I have to make an effort every time and think about the Creator, or does it come to me naturally, just like self-love?

Answer: No, you must constantly make efforts to keep this quality in you. Then, you will already act without effort, motivated by love.

To the extent that you really begin to treat the Creator with love, you will begin to feel Him, His desire, His movement toward you.

Question: When we try to cover everything with love, for example, during conventions, can we all come to Lishma together in this way?

Answer: We can. The forces of the Creator have no boundaries. He can give to everyone at once.

Question: Why do doubts about what the Creator is come to a person?

Answer: Because you do not have a clear connection with the Creator yet.

Question: But then how can we turn to Him?

Answer: Turn to Him as much as you can. Gradually, the Creator will be revealed to you more and more in accordance with your requests.

Comment: It feels like He is pushing me away.

My Response: This is done on purpose so you yearn for Him more.

Question: What does it mean to look at the correction, not the flaw?

Answer: The fact is that a flaw is only good because it pushes us to correct it. And when we already learned the correction, we understand what the meaning was in showing us our own flaws.

Question: It feels like if we focus on a flaw in the left line, then it is wrong and we need to focus on correcting it. What exactly should we do?

Answer: Strive for a corrected state.

Question: I have discovered that before prayer, getting closer to the Creator always proceeds from suffering, following the example of King David. How can I overcome this problem?

Answer: Do not pay special attention to suffering, but aim only for connection, and you will see the suffering fall and disappear.

Comment: But sometimes it hinders.

My Response: Of course, this is done especially to hinder you so you can weigh how much you prefer connection over suffering.

Question: What can help me ascertain where the truth is and where the lie is?

Answer: First, one should not aim for what is easy and lies nearby. This is what the evil inclination advises us.

The most important thing is to be inside the group, not afraid to fall, and not to listen to any conclusions, neither those on the left nor those on the right, but to be as much as possible directed to the Creator.

The direction toward the Creator is that you must think about the best for everyone. This is a very important difference between a correct conclusion and a wrong one.

Question: If a person has no Hisaron (desire, need), he or she is dead. How can one acquire this desire in such a state?

Answer: Only through friends. A person has to cling to them, receive a desire from them, and work with it.

Question: What can motivate someone to cling to friends if they have no feeling?

Answer: It doesn’t matter that they have no feelings. He needs to see how much he is unable to be like others.

Envy, honor, and passion take a person out of this world. That is, one surely watches others and envies them; this will save you.

Question: What helps us reveal the forms of the Creator’s conduct in the ten?

Answer: Our desire for unification helps us. We must try to unite, and if we do it in a wrong way, the Creator will correct us.

Question: What will help me understand the difference between my daily aspiration in the ten for unification and the form the Creator seems to be showing me? What should I pay attention to?

Answer: You should pay attention to your friends. The Creator clothes Himself in your friends. You must feel through them what unfinished relationships you still have with them, and you will understand how to approach the Creator.

Question: How to be honest with friends and yet not to push them away?

Answer: For that, you simply need to raise the greatness of your connection with your friends higher than anything else in the world. As they say: either unification or death.

Question: It is written that profusion of movement pains man for it is an indirect extension from His essence. What does an indirect extension from the Creator’s essence mean?

Answer: The Creator has no deficiency in anything, and therefore He is in absolute rest and perfection.

If the direction of His action does not change, and it is always directed at filling us, then we call His action constant and at absolute rest.

Question: Why is the punishment for slander greater than the punishment for idol worshiping? Why is slander such a grave sin?

Answer: We are always in idol worshiping a little bit because we worship any idols on our way, and then we dismiss them and choose the next ones again.

And slander has no boundaries; therefore, we need to be very afraid of it. Through slander we can push a person off the right path.

Question: Does it have something to do with the greatness of the King, is He great for me or small?

Answer: There may also be such an influence. But the fact is that it changes all the time for you; you don’t even know how.
