Question: If punishment and reward are concealed from us in the spiritual work, how can we work with them and focus on them?

Answer: You must correctly understand the difference between punishment and reward and constantly determine what the level of reward needed to be in order to move forward.

We cannot precisely measure this level, but we must imagine that it is above everything else. The reward in our work is partial or complete revelation of the Creator.

Question: How does the ten help with this?

Answer: It helps with everything because your friends also want to exist in this state, to feel spirituality, and to provide mutual help. Depending on this, you collectively engage in the work.

Question: How can we come to a common desire to liberate ourselves from egoism if everyone is not ready? After all, it is impossible to transfer the experience that a person has gained.

Answer: It cannot be that everyone is on the same level and similar. Only the desire to become like each other will make you a ten.

In the ten there may be different people with different qualities; the Creator will unite everyone and everything.

The main thing is to start working and pray to the Creator so that He reveals Himself as much as possible and shows you your true state. From here, you will begin to advance.

That the merciful one had mercy on us and showed us our true state, which is bitter, and then we can be awarded salvation and redemption (Rabash, Letter 72)

Comment: After we left Egypt and entered the Land of Israel, we were still adapt to the people surrounding us. We did not try to escape from Egypt and preferred someone else’s work to work for the Creator.

My Response: You prefer foreign work because you stayed in Egypt.

First, you must feel you are in exile and that this buries you in the sand. Then, gradually, by helping one another, you should begin to pull yourself out of the sand, i.e., from Egypt.

Question: What does it mean that the ten agree to go without any conditions, and this is what leads them to real prayer, which the Creator will hear?

Answer: No matter what happens, the ten agree to be together and rise above your egoism together.

Question: How does a person determine whether their pain stems from distancing from the Creator or from lacking fulfillment of desires? After all, there is confusion that occurs in the descent.

Answer: Everyone should integrate with their ten and reveal their reaction to what the Creator does. Then all the friends will have a clearer picture of what is happening to them.

Question: If someone in the ten experiences suffering from a lack of fulfillment, can we build a true spiritual deficiency above this? Or is it the individual work of each?

Answer: No, this can be a group effort.

Question: What should our prayer be about?

Answer: Prayer should always be about coming closer to the Creator. Then suffering will disappear.

Question: Every ten makes efforts, but one goes in the right direction and another has long lost its way, although it seems we were all following the teacher. Does it mean that the Creator has favorites?

Answer: The Creator has favorites, it is true. Some strictly follow the Creator, and others do not put much effort into it.

Question: If you do see that someone has lost their way, can you correct him and help him?

Answer: This is someone’s personal work. The teacher is not there to point out his mistakes. If the student himself does not see them, the teacher cannot do anything.

Question: How can we anticipate these mistakes and become the Creator’s favorite?

Answer: I will start from the end: I would not recommend being the Creator’s favorite. It is very difficult because it requires a lot of effort. So we will continue as much as we know, and then the Creator will help us.

Ultimately, everyone will achieve complete correction and the end of all creation, but we want to reveal the unique attitude of the Creator. Therefore, we need to make sure we do what the Creator wants.

Question: In all circumstances a person reveals that he needs faith. Can we talk about it and somehow transfer it?

Answer: No, transferring the quality of faith from one person to another is impossible.

Question: How can we properly work with the bitterness of egoism in the ten and literally chew it up? And what impressions should we receive to want to ask the Creator for a way out of the ego?

Answer: Show our friends how much the Creator reveals Himself in us as a bitter part of our work. That is how we will reach out to Him.

Question: You said that it is not worth getting stuck in a high state of suffering of love. Where is the right place to be?

Answer: If you love, you cannot dictate what you want, one way or another. The feeling of suffering of love itself determines your state. Let us get closer to it, feel it, and then we will see what we are supposed to do.

Question: How can we determine that access to the upper world is not a substitute of one illusion for another?

Answer: When you enter the upper world, you will see that it is felt with more clarity than our world.

Question: Can we in the ten unknowingly become workers of Pharaoh? Or by being involved in Bnei Baruch, do we have some protection, some guarantee that we will not stray away?

Answer: You have no guarantees. None whatsoever. Even though Bnei Baruch is a unique organization, everyone must constantly examine themselves, examine where they are heading and what they want to achieve.

It is only about each individual’s work. Each one separately.

Question: Can a ten deviate from the path? Have some tens in the world group already deviated, but are unaware themselves?

Answer: Of course such a risk always exists. But at the same time, tens can examine and correct themselves.

Question: What do we need to keep in the center of the ten in order to pass through the darkness when exiting Egypt?

Answer: The most important thing is to go by faith above reason paying no attention to any obstacles, taking one more step, and another step, and another. Thus, gradually, we will exit Egypt.

Question: If a person truly reaches a state where all his thoughts, desires, and aspirations are directed toward the Creator, then a second before and a second after exiting Egypt, how does his attitude toward the Creator change?

Answer: Before exiting Egypt, a person is in a state of pleading, begging the Creator to help him escape from there, to rise above egoistic problems.

And literally the next moment, he feels gratitude for what the Creator has done for him.

Question: Could it be that a ten that fulfills the condition of Bnei Baruch, the love of friends, is at the level of Lo Lishma (for oneself)?

Answer: Yes, because Lo Lishma (for oneself) or Lishma (for one’s neighbor) is manifested in their intention, but it is not visible from the outside.

Friends can do whatever is necessary and in their intention be completely elsewhere, that is, not advancing toward uniting hearts and not seeking mutual assistance. And this is the main thing.

Question: It is said that every friend is obliged to fulfill his neighbor’s needs and leave oneself lacking. What do we sacrifice in the ten for the sake of our friends?

Answer: In the ten we must sacrifice ourselves to get closer to our friends and merge with them.

In principle, we do not sacrifice anything because, after all, we begin to understand that what previously seemed to us as an acquisition is, in fact, now like a prison. Therefore, we only gain by sacrificing for the sake of our unity.
