Question: To reach Lishma, two conditions must be fulfilled. The first is to dissolve into others and become zero.

The second is to find out with what Aviut (the power of desire) I can act in order to pull others along. How can I use my Aviut, and how do I figure out what I can use?

Answer: This can only be discussed after you annul yourself. Then you will be able to raise your Aviut and work with it.

The elevation happens only by adding Aviut. But at the same time, we can lower it to zero, meaning use it for ourselves.

Question: So I can add a bit of vanity, yet not for myself but for everyone?

Answer: You can.

Question: On ordinary days, when a lesson or Zoom begins, my inner egoism, this donkey, constantly resists; it doesn’t want to go to the lesson, it makes me look at my watch, and I tell it: “Shut up, leave me alone!”

But here, at the convention, there is so much love and so much light that this donkey sits silently, and it likes everything. Does this mean that the work has stopped?

Answer: No, the work has not stopped. You simply connect your desire with the desires of your friends, and this huge desire affects your feelings and presses on them. And all this leads to the fact that you will feel yourself together with your friends as one desire in the center of creation.

World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 3

Question: What could be done now to achieve Lishma?

Answer: For this you need to assemble such a ten that would reveal to you the internal structure of the entire universe, and then you could feel how you are approaching its center.

Question: What efforts must be multiplied in order to enter Lishma?

Answer: Becoming closer in our hearts is the only thing we lack. Each one must examine his own heart, what he really desires, and thus appeal to his friends and strive toward the common goal.

World Kabbalah Convention”Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 3

We must feel like we are seeking contact with the Creator so that it is constant, does not disappear, and strengthens more and more. We need to constantly strive to renew it, so that all our friends hold on to this connection and think every minute about how we can cling even more tightly to the Creator and under no circumstances tear ourselves away from Him.

Let us try to do this practically, when everyone wants to sharpen all his or her feelings and everything that is in each one, so that one’s inner striving is directed only toward the Creator, so much so that the person is not interested in anything else besides this.

Whatever we do in the world, in life, at work, or in the family, the most important thing is that every moment of life brings us closer to the Creator. We have to live with this.

All of a person’s work is to choose who governs them: the desire to receive or the desire to bestow. They must examine who currently rules over them and decide what they truly want.

If the desire to receive is in control, it is clear that this is not good, and they must seek ways to bring themselves under the authority of the desire to bestow. But even with the desire to bestow, there remains a question: Why do I bestow, for whom, when, and how?

The governance of bestowal can be established through the force received from the Torah. If we study the Torah with the intention of drawing from it the force of bestowal, then, step by step, we will gradually reveal this force and learn to use it more and more.

We ask the Creator to intervene and help us choose the quality of bestowal. Even before we begin studying, we must be certain that only the Creator alone governs all of existence, and our task is simply to reveal this to everyone.

Every person is born with two forces: the desire to receive and the desire to bestow. We see that the desire to receive dominates all of nature, yet nature also provides examples of bestowal. Even within a person, where egoistic desire reigns, thoughts of bestowal arise. We seek to choose the quality of bestowal because it is the attribute of the Creator. Nature itself teaches that it is worthwhile to belong to the quality of bestowal.

The force that pushes us toward bestowal comes from above, it is the force of the Creator Himself. And we see that although the force of bestowal contradicts our natural desire to receive, it holds the truth. That is why we are drawn to it, and ultimately, it becomes our new nature.

If I want to attain the quality of bestowal, I must enter an environment that has chosen this force and strives to reveal it. In this battle between the force of reception, which I was born with, and the force of bestowal, which I acquire now, I must choose with whom I want to continue.

Tomorrow, the International Kabbalah Convention begins. Every second, new friends from all over the world are arriving, and tomorrow, they will be joined by friends from across Israel. In the physical center of the convention in Israel alone, more than two and a half thousand people will participate.

What guidance can be given here? Simply to wish each one to desire to feel others within their heart. This is the most correct and beautiful intention.

Strive to be as close to one another as possible, and do not utter a single word that is not aimed at clarifying love.

Question: Is it love or the fire in our hearts that is the indicator of bestowing to the Creator?

Answer: The indicator is the connection with the Creator. Initially it is not entirely accurate to call it love. However, after some effort we will start to feel what will happen if we strive correctly for the connection and what it will look like then.

Gradually we will begin to unite with others as complements to one another, as support for one another, and so on. Eventually we will develop a desire that will bind us, and we will receive a response from the Creator: who we are, what we are, and what we are going to attain.

Question: How are thoughts connected to feelings?

Answer: Thoughts govern both the mind and the body. Therefore it is crucial for us to bring ourselves to a state in which we feel only one desire. If we achieve this, it means that we are tuned correctly.
