Question: When a person corrects quality of receiving something with the intention “for the sake of bestowal,” is it possible that he might come to a feeling of discomfort that the Creator had to carry out such a procedure?

Answer: No, there is no such thing. Don’t make it up.

When the desire in a person changes, he sees the whole reality through his new desire, and no questions remain in him, he fully agrees with it.

Question: In order to correct the state of shame, the Creator placed us in such a distant world where we don’t even feel that He is the source of life. How can we feel and imagine what life is from the perspective of the spiritual world?

Answer: Gradually, we will feel it. For now, try to think about it as much as possible and strive to feel it.

Question: What clothes the action with the intention “for the sake of giving contentment to the Creator” when we want to hold on to the fact that we wish to do it for Him?

Answer: Your intention, that which you think about, is what causes this action within you.

Question: Is the feeling of shame some kind of safeguard against “not yearning to receive eternal delight”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What should we do if we discover in the ten that we do not feel the Creator? What practical actions can be applied?

Answer: Everything that is prescribed for us in the study of TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), we must accept and try to implement in practice.

Question: Should we strive for shame to appear in us, or is it a gift from the Creator?

Answer: Shame is the feeling that you do not correspond to the plans of the Creator.

Question: What does the principle “To that which we do not attain, we do not give a name” mean?

Answer: We do not run ahead and claim to understand what we have not yet attained since it is still in the process of clarification. Any spiritual object or phenomenon is given a name according to its action, according to what it produces in the worlds. If we do not yet know all its consequences precisely, we cannot give it a true name that defines the very essence of the spiritual phenomenon.

Question: What is the name of the Creator? The Creator has many names. What does that mean?

Answer: The name of the Creator is the consequences we feel upon ourselves from His influence. Moreover, a name is a desire filled with light, and by the kind of light that is there, one can determine the name of the Creator. Thus, it turns out that I am the one who gives Him a name.

Comment: We often use names given by others. That is, someone gave the name, and other people use it.

My Response: If a name is given by a Kabbalist who has truly determined the designation of an object or phenomenon, then in studying the material we use it.

Question: Many of your students use their material qualities for the dissemination of Kabbalah. They are told that first they must rise out of their egoistic attitude, but they don’t want to listen to anyone. What should be done about this?

Answer: In Kabbalah, as in our world, this is called the suffering of parents: “If youth only knew, if old age only could.” You can’t do anything with such a person except try to educate him as much as possible. But, in principle, everything depends on him.

You give the students what you can, you soften and accelerate their development, but nothing more than that. And then, gradually, they begin to absorb it.

To this day, I am nourished by what I went through with my teacher during twelve years of being by his side. Education is when you give a student the beginning of a connection with you, and then through this connection between souls—whether on the level of our world or from world to world, it doesn’t matter—his further development takes place.

We must look not at bodily interactions within the framework of this world, but at the fact that we exist in the system of souls, and everything happens there.

Question: What is this condition that allows a creature to touch infinity?

Answer: Infinity is the infinite mutual influence of the Creator and creation.

We study that the Creator influences creation as He wants. He has a plan according to which He constantly transforms creation in order to fill it more and more with Himself.

In accordance with this, the creation is changing and becoming more and more like the Creator. This is how they affect each other.

Question: In this case, is shame still present in this combination, or is it transformed, or is it disappearing?

Answer: Shame is present. Wherever the creation feels removed from the Creator, it feels shame.

Question: Does the feeling of shame in knowledge somehow contribute to our ascent in faith above reason?

Answer: Possibly yes. But this will not manifest now, but on the next, higher stages. We will feel shame for our desire, our states.

Question: And in this way, we will rise in faith above reason? Or do we still need some other parameters?

Answer: There is still much more that we need. So simply continue studying.

Question: You say that prayers have existed for thousands of years, people have prayed for thousands of years. Have they have been praying incorrectly? Because we don’t really have much happiness, and we don’t we have much money.

Answer: Over thousands of years, we are gradually maturing toward the state where we will finally understand what true correction is. And it is in not asking for anything, but using what we already have. All the conditions are there for us to correct the world, and they lie in relating to one another with love. If you cannot do this, if you really cannot, then you may turn to the Creator.

Question: This is what prayer is?

Answer: Yes, and there is nothing else to ask for. Give me the ability to relate to another with love, as You relate to us.

The soul of Adam HaRishon was created by the upper force like a dim, barely glowing candle. This is a small state (VAK), and therefore, it is said about Adam that “he was born circumcised,” without the evil inclination, like an angel. An angel belongs to the still, vegetative, and animate levels.

Israel is a desire that has passed through the shattering in a step-by-step descent. Israel receives enormous egoism due to the fact that the light of Infinity enters its will to receive and inflates it.

A tiny black point in the white light expands to the full magnitude of the infinite light. It must attain the same power as the light—the Moon must shine exactly like the Sun.
