For this reason, a person begins to work not in order to receive reward, but because of the glory of the King (RABASH,”What Does It Mean that Oil Is Called ‘Good Deeds’ in the Work?”).

Question: What does a person feel here? Does he not see a reward at all or does it still exist but in a different form?

Answer: To reveal the greatness of the Creator in our actions is the greatest reward; this is what we must imagine.

The reward is to bestow to the Creator because bestowing to Him will be receiving for us.

Question: What if there is a fear that when the Creator is revealed in the receiving Kelim, I will not be able to resist pleasure?

Answer: There is no one closer to you than the Creator. And there is no one kinder to you than the Creator. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing to fear. You have to be before Him the way you are before yourself, and even more. You can admit to Him what you cannot admit to yourself.

Question: You said that a person should pray for Malchut of infinity. What does it mean?

Answer: For the global Malchut, which includes absolutely everything.

Question: I connect with my ten and ask for the ten. Where is the connection with the global Malchut here?

Answer: The difference is only in scale. This cannot be divided into parts. Spirituality is not divided into parts.

Question: How do I move from the scale of the connection with the ten to the global Malchut?

Answer: It only depends on how much you increase or decrease the integration of parts.

Question: How can I increase the integration of parts when I feel connected with my friends in the ten?

Answer: Increase the incorporation and love.

Question: Is it within the ten or do I need to add something to it?

Answer: Within the ten. It does not matter how much you add, or how much you subtract.

Question: When there is some kind of suffering, trial, or problem that comes from the Creator, I realize there is a very strong need for Him, which is a trigger for prayer and connection with Him and with the group.

But when there are no sufferings and problems, it is very difficult to build a request on the same level. Why does this happen? What do we need to do so that we, ourselves, without suffering, but rather in the spiritual work in the group, can build the same Hisaron (deficiency)?

Answer: It is impossible to do this without suffering. Suffering is an integral part of the feeling in the Kli (vessel), it is its filling. Without suffering, we could not orientate ourselves in any way, neither toward the Creator nor against Him.

Comment: I remember moments when there were some difficulties and then there was a great Hisaron, great desire. But when the Creator “lets go” a little, then we are not able to feel the same strong desire.

My Response: That is right. Therefore, we cannot move forward without sufferings. But we must not exalt them. We just need to understand that without them we do not feel our real Kli.

Question: But I cannot ask the Creator to give me sufferings again, can I?

Answer: No, do not do that! You can replace them with love.

Question: How can you build love on the same level?

Answer: Ask for this! You should ask for love.

Question: You said, “Either you give thanks, or you give the Creator a place to work.” If a person has been awarded with a state of gratitude, how can one give a place to the Creator?

Answer: When you unite in one mutual desire to bestow, you open a place for the Creator.

Question: And how do Kabbalists give a place for the Creator to be revealed between them? How do they feel His manifestation in the group?

Answer: They invite Him, attract Him, force Him, and beg Him; they try in every possible way to attract the Creator to the group. And then they see the result; by connecting with each other, they form a common desire in which the Creator manifests Himself.

A common desire in the ten arises when you are striving for the same goal. You try to get closer to each other, and if you succeed, then you move on to connection of one ten to another, and so on. As a result, you should feel the general force that fills you, surrounds you, embraces you. This will be the beginning of the manifestation of the Creator.

Question: How can a desire be shared if each friend has his own taste, his own shade of this desire, feeling, and understanding?

Answer: You will feel that it is common because to this extent the Creator clothes in you. And He is one.

Question: Will we all feel together that the Creator clothes in us?

Answer: Not only all together in the ten, but all eight billion in the world. What is the difference?

Question: How can we make each of our actions precisely so that we guide ourselves correctly?

Answer: You just have to think about it, strive for it, and everything will work out. The Creator will tell you what you still lack, and you will correct yourself.

Question: Let’s say that you raise the importance of some process, and a person listens to you and gets involved in it. Then you radically change the process, and he gets involved in what you say again.

But after this happens several times, a person begins to wait, does not do any actions either in one direction or the other, and accordingly loses. What is the correct way to act in this case?

Answer: I will only say one thing. Do you want to get out into the upper world? Then stop being a smartalek and wait for what I say. Close your eyes and go! Since you do not see the upper world, you have no other option but to blindly follow the recommendations of the teacher.

You can turn to any other methods, and they will tell you the same thing. How do you think you can climb to another degree?! Offer me another method!

You can go to anyone, turn to any other sources, and they will tell you the same thing! If you want to change, you should just close your eyes and follow the teacher.

First, choose a teacher with your eyes open, and you will still have to close them and blindly follow him.
Gradually, as you progress you will begin to understand, feel his path, and gradually involve analysis and synthesis of everything that happens to you on the way. There is no other way.

When you were born, did you check what Mom was doing to you?! It is the same on the spiritual path when you grow up! You have not been born into the spiritual yet, but you already want to start checking something with your earthly mind. This is why nothing works for you!

And so it is with everyone, except those who agree to annul themselves and realize that spiritual birth, as well as earthly, means the complete annulment of the present state: I cannot climb with my earthly brains and poke around in some unearthly spheres of the next degree and the next dimension because there is no man there.

At the next degree, we are all connected by our points in the heart, our desires and thoughts to the spiritual and to mutual bestowal. That is, both desire and reason merge together there.

Our next degree is a degree independent of our bodies, a degree where only our heartfelt, sensible striving for a common connection to find the common power of bestowal and love so that it will be revealed between us.

What can you do with your earthly brains that are tuned only to fill your flesh with vital animal power at that degree?! Nothing! You can only prevent yourself from getting up.

Question: From where do you absorb additional information? Is it from nature? From some place?

Answer: I really love nature, especially the inanimate and vegetative. I like to walk in the mountains, fields, and forests. When I just walk there, I feel good and pleasant; I feel complete relaxation.

I perceive nature as divine harmony. Although in our world, we are crippling the animate as well as vegetative nature, but in principle, one can still see harmony, agreement, mutual complement, and mutual support in it. This causes a corresponding feeling in a Kabbalist.

Kabbalah highlights harmony to a person and the fact that he should aim for the same state.

Every time we read one of RABASH’s articles, it seems to us as if we are seeing it for the first time. It is because we are changing and everything is changing. After all, each of RABASH’s articles is connected to the upper force, and therefore receives replenishment from it and it passes to us. It works this way every time, like an adapter connecting us to the upper force.

These are amazing articles. RABASH achieved what no one had done before him. You still do not realize what is happening, and cannot access the correction he has made in the entire creation. RABASH was so modest that people did not understand who he was. He was extremely discreet concerning his spiritual work.

And in material life he was completely different, he could joke, tell an anecdote. He worked for many years as an ordinary laborer on a construction site and could easily communicate with other workers, just like everyone else, so that no one even suspected that he was a great Kabbalist. He was a special person.

And now, we have the opportunity to plunge into RABASH’s articles together and dive deep into them to connect with each other and with him. The necessary foundation for this already exists.

Question: What are the changes that happen to us as a result of our spiritual work? How do we feel them and how are they manifested?

Answer: Changes happen in us to the extent that we come closer to each other. After all, it is in this case that we become similar to the Creator.

If we come closer to each other in the ten, we come closer to the Creator to the same extent. Then we can measure our coming closer to the friends with our coming closer to the Creator, and vice versa the nearing to the Creator is measured by the extent of our coming closer to each other.

Question: How can we keep the fact that we want to change at the boiling point?

Answer: We have to think about the goal all the time and calculate where we are relative to the goal: closer or further, higher or lower, together or not. In accordance with this, we will feel how much we are moving toward the goal.

Question: Is egoism some common quality in the group?

Answer: The distance between you in the group is your egoism. “Keep your distance”; you are here and I am there. Our group egoism does not allow us to connect. But as soon as we come closer to each other by some small percentage, then even more relative to each other we begin to feel the manifestation of the Creator between us.

Question: I am a very arrogant person in my life and I hate the distance between me and the people I need. But in the corporeal world, it looks like absorption. How can I come closer to friends in the correct way so that it is an act of bestowal?

Answer: To do this, you must feel what the other person wants, and what you have prepared for him to give, to delight, and to fill him.

Question: Can a person come to receive Kabbalistic information from different angles, not just through suffering?

Answer: There is no need to suffer! If a person has a craving for knowledge, he will come without suffering.

Although craving is also a kind of suffering. We come to Kabbalah due to a lack of something, disappointment, and emptiness. It is not necessary for a person to suffer from hunger and cold, he can suffer from a lack of meaning in his life. But still he should come with some questions and problems. Otherwise, what drives him?

All that drives us are problems, otherwise I would not move. Egoism would not give me the opportunity to move if I were well.

Comment: I know many cases that someone came from mathematics, someone from physics, someone through Nazism.

My Response: It does not matter! It does not matter what form the suffering takes. I also come from science.

I had everything! In Russia, I had wonderful parents, my own house, a car, a wife, a child, a job where I could advance, albeit within certain limits because I was a Jew. But it does not matter, it was possible to live calmly, normally.

But I could not! I had to find a place where I could realize myself. So I went, no matter where. To the desert, with a wife, with a child. Why? For the sake of what? Just for ideological reasons, for the sake of self-realization. This is how everyone chooses.

Comment: Nevertheless, I know those who were impressed by Kabbalah through TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), someone through your explanations of some aspects of life.

My Response: But for some reason they listened to it, right? That is, they initially had some requests.
