Question: What are the actions where there is no pleasure for the desire to receive and only for the desire to give through friends to the Creator?

Answer: These are acts of giving—actions opposite to egoism.

To translate this action into ever closer unity with our friends, we need to accept the obligation that instead of hatred between us, at least in the ten, we want to become close friends who help each other.

Question: What is a genuine spiritual action? How can we, by working in the ten and making efforts, invoke mutual pleasure in each other so that together we can enjoy mutual giving and thereby give to the Creator?

Answer: We cannot do this because we are born and raised in the quality of egoism. But gradually, by working on ourselves, we attain a negative attitude toward egoism and eventually acquire opposite qualities: love for others, love for the Creator, and altruism.

And the man asked him, saying, ‘What are you seeking?’ And he said, ‘I seek my brothers… (Rabash, Article No. 3, (1984) “Love of Friends – 1”)

“I seek my brothers” is the beginning of working in a group. It is when a person tries to unite with his friends in the ten because there is no advancement without it. Therefore, first of all, we must work in a group: group study, mutual help, and mutual interconnection of every person with all the others.

The ten is the most important thing. A larger number is bad because we are made so that we cannot feel more than ten. And you do not need less than ten either. Ten is the optimal number.

Everyone needs to really understand the ten he is in, what he should do for it, what it should do for him, and how they interconnect. Depending on the common bond between a person and his ten, he will begin to attain the Creator. This is our main goal.

We have no other goal but to reveal the Creator. At the same time, we will begin to understand, attain, and feel everything. This is why the ten’s gatherings, the closeness we reach in it, the feeling of mutual belonging, and mutual assistance are very important.

Often people push themselves away from this considering it not so important. Therefore, I advise you to listen to my words, all Kabbalistic sources speak of it.

At first tens work on themselves, organize within themselves, and then form a larger group, and so on. Without this closeness, we will not achieve high spiritual goals. This is the law of the spiritual world.

Question: How do we come to the timely understanding of the wickedness of the evil inclination both in actions and intentions in order to ask the Creator for correction and to be worthy of His love?

Answer: Regarding this, you should agree within your ten to constantly think that you are in exile from the desire to bestow and you need to exit the desire to receive, which is called Egypt. Then you will see and receive everything there is, except exile.

Question: What should be done to show the Creator our desire to build a connection with Him and be rewarded with true love for Him?

Answer: To do this, first of all, it is necessary to unite with your friends in the ten. And then turn to the Creator and ask Him to raise you from this state to Him.

Question: Does it need to be done more internally or externally, at meetings and common events?

Answer: The most important is internally, but externally is also necessary.

Question: How do I hold the intention to bestow when there is no way to determine where exactly I am, whether for the sake of receiving or in bestowal?

Answer: Connect with your friends, decide what to do, and you will not go wrong. An indicator of bestowal is your thoughts about how to raise others.

Question: To attract the light of faith into the ten, one must see everyone else as corrected except oneself. That feels like a trembling in the heart, right?

Answer: No, this is wrong. It is not a necessary condition. To come together in one unified heart, in one unified desire, and attract the upper light that will connect you correctly, you do not need to be corrected; you just need to desire that state.

It all depends on your collective desire that embraces and envelops all of you.

Question: It is said that to land on a table you need to jump higher than the table. In that context of moving from for the sake of receiving to for the sake of bestowal, what does higher mean, and what do we need to achieve?

Answer: To give everything to rise above your egoism.

Question: What should I do when there is a clear realization that I do not have complete faith and no strength to take action toward unity or prayer?

Answer: Try to get closer to your friends, and with them, you will be able to participate in the correction.

Question: Is it correct to say that in a conflict between two friends, they should try to see each other through the eyes of the Creator?

Answer: There is no point to even try. You will just get confused. But if you look at your friend like a loving mother looks at her child, this is good.

You must learn to forgive. The most important for the ten is forgiving and beginning immediately with renewed relationships.

Question: How can I express this correctly so my friend understands that I am approaching him with an open heart and not with other intentions?

Answer: If you study the same material and listen to the same teachers, you will naturally become similar to each other and begin to perceive the material in the same way. There cannot be anything else here.

Therefore, continue actively to build relationships within the ten that will tie you together in a strong bond.

Question: When we walk together on the path, what is our roadmap to stay on it without deviating?

Answer: Your roadmap is your increasingly warm attitude toward your friends and their increasingly warm attitude toward the Creator. You just need to open your heart, warm it from within more and more, and get used to living like this.

Question: What form of our connection can provide nourishment to the world?

Answer: By uniting as one person with one heart, we fully connect to the Creator and can receive everything we need from Him.

Question: How can we avoid being stubborn donkeys in the field?

Answer: Hold onto your friends and ask the Creator. It seems simple, but it is difficult to implement.

Question: If the ten connects correctly, the next state should be better than the previous one. How can we evaluate this correctly?

Answer: The state may be higher, but whether it is negative or positive depends on the individual, on what level they should be, and how they should realize this degree.

Question: How can you understand the extent of your evil and ask for the measure of its correction; how can you get out of this state?

Answer: To the extent that we can reveal egoism in ourselves, we can ask the Creator to correct it. Otherwise, it will be a request for something empty.

Therefore, we must work on ourselves, our desires, and our relationship with our friends to feel how much we are at the mercy of egoism. And then ask the Creator to take us out from under the power of the ego. That is called the way out of the Egyptian exile.

Question: Is there a point of no return to the ego? I do not want to return to egoism again.

Answer: There is no point of no return. Together, we must ask the Creator for one thing: to rise from egoism to Him. It is only through our prayers that He will give us more strength so we can resist our ego.

Question: How do we work with the property of laziness when the heart is lazy to form a correct, sincere prayer?

Answer: It is not easy. I think that for this it is necessary to unite the whole ten and unite together so that there is no place for laziness between you.

It is necessary to fight against indifference and laziness with all your might because at these moments you miss the opportunity to rise spiritually.

Question: Is it right to begin treating friends in the ten with the same trepidation with which we ask you questions?

Answer: No, you should strive to understand and treat each other with an open heart. You do not need to hide anything from your friends or avoid them. Be as close to them in your heart as possible.

Strive to help each other in the ten to strengthen the connection between you so that a common feeling is revealed in it in which you will feel the Creator.

Question: Can trepidation be called an intermediate state between joy and fear?

Answer: There is no such state as “in between.” It only seems that way to you. In any state, you should come to the point where it fills you, and you will know what it is.

Question: Is exile a feeling of only oneself? Is this what brings us suffering and distance from the Creator and leads us to death?

Answer: Exile is a painful feeling for your ten when you turn away from Him instead of being glued to the Creator.

Question: The feeling of friends is life?

Answer: Yes, it is a connection between you.
