Question: If the majority of the people suddenly told you that you were right about everything, would you regard it as a bad sign?

Answer: If the majority came to me, I would try to draw away from them and I hope I would have enough strength to do so. Never promise yourself anything until the end of correction.

The more you are criticized, the more slander people publicize against you, the safer you are and more protected along the spiritual path. This means that judgments and accusations, slander, and students who leave, only make you stronger. This is how the gradual clarification of the spiritual path takes place.

The more we advance, we grow fewer and fewer in quantity. Great circles will be created around us and they will spread in waves, but the group itself will remain small, only several hundred people. The Sanhedrin was 120 people, and one leader. I believe that this is what will also happen in the future.

In any case, there is the constant washing of the golden sand, the search for the rare individuals. The gold mines that remain, that is, those who join us.

Question: What does it mean not to place a stumbling block before a blind person?

Answer: It means that you shouldn’t tell a student what he cannot yet overcome.

It isn’t about the masses, but about students, although the general public also slowly catching up.

The difference is that individuals who have a point in the heart advance along the straight path by revealing this point individually, while the public follow their own path and discover the point in the heart among them. So our path is independent of the others and we only create the influence of a small environment around us. The public, however, advance towards the Creator (the attribute of love and bestowal) by the connection between them.

Question: Is there any illumination coming out of this point in the heart?

Answer: It depends on the connection. In case of the general population, the point in the heart is created in the center of the circle, while in our case it is in each one of us, and these points connect in the center of our circle. So in our case the movement is individual, in a group, while for them it is only in a mass, in a group and not personal. Therefore, we have to educate and serve them.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 23:1: “You shall not accept a false report; do not place your hand with a wicked person to be a false witness.”

This law of the Torah, which is about a person’s struggle with his internal evil, is echoed in the spirit of the book of Psalms.

“You shall not accept a false report; do not place your hand with a wicked person” means that you should not support the ego that lives inside you and is your nature. Thus I distinguish between my real self and my evil, egoistic self.

My real self is based on their oppositeness, on the feeling of the Creator, which I begin to identify with the Creator, while my egoistic self constantly grows. The difference between them grows accordingly: I can determine my negative attributes towards the spiritual object (the Creator) more clearly, and thus my request becomes stronger and more refined.

“To be a false witness” means not to bow to my ego’s opinion, since when it grows it presents such logical arguments to a person that it is simply impossible to refute them by our simple mind.

In such a case the connection between people becomes very meaningful, the connection between a person and the right environment, since otherwise he draws away from the spiritual work.

When a person is not tightly connected to the right environment he begins to draw away from the spiritual work, since the left line is so tempting!

These are not only physical temptations that temporarily distract you, that you can work out and return to the spiritual work, but also are temptations such as control, wealth, respect, praise, and knowledge.

You can probably imagine that if people who study the wisdom of Kabbalah were allowed to receive great wealth, it is doubtful that anyone could resist this temptation. If they were given palaces, yachts, and an army of servants, it would precede any other desire they may have. This is how a person is simply brainwashed. He turns into an animal in a golden cage.

He may also be given unlimited control. Suppose someone tells you: “We need you to be the president of the world. We want one person to manage everything. Anything that you desire will immediately be carried out in the world, through the whole human hierarchy.” At the same time it isn’t about the correction of the world and of people, but about ordinary technological evolution.

What can stop a person? Nothing.

You may also be tested not by wealth or domination but by fame: You are told that you are awarded the Noble Peace prize or that you are invited to speak before a prestigious forum. You are surrounded by flatterers who praise you and compliment you. Everyone looks up to you and is impressed by you! The Creator can present this kind of a show before you.

And the most important is knowing that society sees you as the wisest, smartest, most talented person of all. Knowledge is not wealth, nor power and glory. Ordinary human knowledge is to cover the whole universe; everyone looks at you as the only one who understands the secrets of the universe. Here the worship is much more significant since it is actually between the ego and the next level.

It is very hard to avoid temptations such as domination, wealth, fame, and knowledge along our spiritual path; in fact, it is impossible. We have to guard and protect students who are attracted to this. Therefore, in all the religions and in many societies, the son is usually next to his father so that he can pass down to him his life’s occupation. The son will never object and will always support and keep his father’s line since he wants to preserve his name and the character.

Educating students so they will be as loyal to you as your sons is very complex. In order to do that, one must tyrannize them, so that they will not break away from you, so that they will receive as many blows as possible during the years they are with you, and begin to realize why they get closer or draw away: for respect, for knowledge, or for wealth? So they will at least begin to feel these things.

I feel that students divert from the right path according to their internal distance from me, and according to the contempt they feel towards themselves. In that case I have to show them that it isn’t they who draw away from me but that it is I who draw away from them. If a student develops this correctly, he will understand that it isn’t actually drawing away but getting closer to me and then he will overcome everything. If he doesn’t, then nothing will happen.

Question: When does a student become close to you like a son?

Answer: When he becomes an absolutely loyal assistant, and for him, when my state becomes more important than his state. This is called “spiritual slavery.”

Only then can we speak about our being close, which is called adhesion (Dvekut). It is because now his whole life is dedicated to fulfilling my mission. Then he “enters” me and follows this path. This is called adhesion: GE of the lower enters the AHP of the upper. This isn’t a single action but continuous work.

On the whole, temptations such as respect, glory, attaining something in this world, and the existence of the egoistic self are very typical of talented students and are very dangerous. They find different justifications for their actions, but there is no justification for that.

Therefore, there are students whom I consciously treat coldly, distantly, reject them, and display a certain hostility and suspicion towards them on purpose, although they believe that I really treat them coldly.

I treat them like a father who shows his son that he doesn’t treat him mercifully, and that he should be on guard. There are those who are repelled by this while others continue to hold on. The righteous follow this way, understanding the right attraction in this rejection as they try to get closer to the teacher, while the wicked flee.

The Creator leads us on an identical path. The teacher’s attitude is simply revealed more clearly to his student. After all, it is the teacher’s job to convey the Creator’s attitude to his student in a more explicit manner.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 22:27: “You shall not curse a judge, neither shall you curse a prince among your people.”

A person who is in an internal state of freewill has a right line and a left line, one opposite the other, and he has to connect the two without annulling the left line in any way, since the left line is judgment (Din), while the right line is mercy, (Hesed).

A person has to understand that the judge and everyone who deals with restrictions do so for his own good and for his advancement. Therefore he should accept every judgment, understanding that this is how he should behave and advance.

At the same time, he should have no critical thoughts and not think that the judgment is unjust. The judge is always right. This is probably because in the past judges were not as corrupt as they are today.

A prince is the Creator’s governor: It is the force that is revealed and moves you forward and which is the greatest force in your current state so that you will under no circumstances think that it isn’t the Creator’s representative who manages you inside you. It is always the Creator who is concealed this way (in this case in the image of Moses). So each time you should imagine that you are alone with him.

Question: So why do the people curse Moses all the time?

Answer: The Torah speaks about how a person corrects his ego and how in the process of correction there are constant descents, ascents, disagreements, and curses. So the story of the Torah seems very boring.

Although different events are described they are all very similar and according to the same pattern, the heroes of each story actually go through the same situations. They try to do something but they don’t succeed, and there are arguments, problems, and certain explosions, then there is the punishment, and then everything subsides and we proceed to the next event, and then everything repeats itself. The whole Torah is about these specific states.

All the Holy writings, the Bible, the Talmud, and the Mishna, only speak about one thing: How we can understand our nature and how by trying to gradually advance towards the Creator, we can discover Him by resembling Him and becoming equal to Him.

We can discover all the physical laws in our world only by being equal to them. We invent instruments by which we imitate nature and then we discover it. At the same time, I don’t change, I change the instrument.

Here, however I change myself as the instrument, I am the instrument itself studying what inside of me is opposite from the Creator. If these are actually my desires and tendencies, I begin to understand what needs to be changed inside me. But I cannot change myself by myself.

All my work is to see how deep the gap between the Creator and me is, and I should turn this gap into a request each time, into a demand, a prayer. Then, if this struggle is actually true, which means that I want the force, the Upper Light to correct me, I receive a response from it by feeling such changes in me.

The spiritual work is the study of the problem of my oppositeness from the Creator and my getting closer to a prayer, a request. The moment I demand and ask that a certain attribute be really changed in me, this request is real and the attribute will change. It is because the Light is constant and only waits for the right, clear, and accurate desire for it on my part.

There is nothing but that! In our world everything comes down to the fact that we should create a society that settles for the basic necessities of life only, while all our work should be focused on self corrections. Then we will rise to the level of the Creator.

Every law of the Torah is like looking for a frequency, like in a radio, which we use to tune ourselves with ever-greater precision. We constantly increase our sensitivity to the Creator and thus get closer to Him.

We have a point in the heart in our ego, which is the Godly part from above. I constantly develop this point by studying, by working in the group and in the right environment, and accordingly my ego also grows in order to show me its oppositeness from my point in the heart. These two opposite, contradictory attributes constantly grow in me.

Of course, I worry only about the positive, about increasing the point in the heart in which I feel the Creator, who He is, and what His attributes are; however, the egoistic quality constantly grows opposite to it in order to balance it. I find a delta between these two attributes, the difference between the Creator and me, and I work on it in order to hate my egoistic “I,” which is opposite to the Creator’s attribute to such an extent that the right demand for correction will burst out of me, then the Light of correction arrives.

It actually corrects my ego, connects it to the point in the heart, which also swells. Then the middle line is formed in me, the connection of the two points.

There is no state along the spiritual path where I can sit down and remain in the same state while the clock is ticking; this doesn’t exist, meaning I am the one who is constantly moving. This is why I must follow the right line immediately. But how should I do it? Thus, the left line that comes from the Creator constantly grows, and thanks to it I have to yearn for the right line. The Creator disrupts my balance to the left side while I yearn for the right line in relation to that.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 22, 25-26: If you take your neighbor’s garment as security, until sunset you should return it to him; for it is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. With what shall he lie? And it shall be (that) if he cries out to Me, I will hear because I am gracious.

During the days when the Torah was written, clothes were very expensive, so people did most of the house chores naked so that the clothes would not wear out. Even two centuries ago clothes were passed down from a grandmother to her granddaughter, etc. In the region where the state of Israel is located today people used to wear clothes made of wool, which took a long time to make and lots of work: weaving the fabric, sewing, etc. Even today in Tunisian wool is very expensive.

In spirituality “attire” refers to a Masach (screen) that a person acquires. So if you borrow it you have to return it the same day since it is impossible to leave a person without a Masach for the night, which means in a state of darkness. It isn’t about the sunlight but about an internal state, when a person feels that he is in the dark or in the light.

In other words, as long as a person feels the Light that sustains him and performs a certain kind of work on him, you can borrow his Masach and work with it. But when he descends into the night, you have to return it to him.

Question: What does “what shall he lie” mean?

Answer: Surprisingly, in ancient times clothes were even more necessary during the night than during the day. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, at “night” you have to be protected from the dark by a Masach. It’s because the spiritual attire is a kind of a Masach over the desire to receive, which thus acquires an intention of in order to bestow.

I advise you to read Tehilim (the Psalms).

Bear in mind that they only apply to the one who reads them; they talk only about what happens within a person, about his properties, only about personal relationships between a person and the Creator, and not about external objects or events.
