Question: I am coming to the convention where there will be a lot of different people. What does it mean to integrate with everyone at the convention based on the corrected form of my ten?

Answer: You integrate into your ten just as all its other members do, and in this state, you come to the convention.

During the convention, each participating ten maintains its own structure while being ready to connect with other tens without breaking their internal unity. In this way you will see how you all unite and what happens to you as a result.

Question: If one minute of connection with spirituality is considered a great achievement, then what is a small spiritual thing?

Answer: A small thing means something partial. In some way, somewhere, somehow we are connected with the Creator. Therefore, we gather these minutes together until they reach their full state.

Question: There are days when the corporeal world takes over. Can this conditional spiritual minute outweigh the whole day on the scale of merits?

Answer: Of course it can because the spiritual forces that we receive from above are much stronger than the corporeal ones. If we wish for them to rule over us, then our egoism will not have the strength to separate us from the spiritual forces.

However, one must be happy with whatever grip he has on Kedusa [holiness], that even one moment a day is to him a great possession (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 146, “Suffering and Joy”).

A true spiritual moment when a person feels connected with the material being studied and with the Creator is a great asset for him.

The Creator reveals unfamiliar ways to a person, gives him some incomprehensible properties, and causes a person to appear in a state of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. And how should he act in such cases?

He must always understand that it comes from the Creator, even the slightest sensation, and there is no other source. Therefore, a person in his sensations must do everything to bring himself closer to the Creator or the Creator to himself. It is our job.

The quality of a spiritual moment is expressed in the strength and size of the connection with the Creator.

Question: What contributes more to spiritual advancement: short-term work on the left line or long-term work on the right?

Question: Can music lead to a state of joy and gratitude? How does this work in spirituality? Is there a connection?

Answer: There is a connection, but it is not simple. First you need to enter spirituality and then bring music into it.

Question: What does the ability to justify the actions of the Creator in relation to any creation depend on?

Answer: It depends on the attainment of the whole universe. That is, we need to feel how the Creator is truly good who does good. He desires nothing for Himself and does everything only for us.

Question: What can teach us to immediately justify the actions of the Creator and incline
us and the entire world to the side of merit?

Answer: This cannot be learned. The only thing we need to learn in spirituality is to ask the Creator to influence us with His light.

And then we will naturally begin to feel the governance of the Creator as good, and we will reveal all that exists.

Question: When I work in a group, there is always anxiety about if I am acting for the sake of bestowal. Sometimes a friend misunderstands you, and then this apprehension just does not let you rest. How can such a situation be balanced?

Answer: You must understand that this is the path of correction given to us to follow.

The path of correction is a long one. You are still in the process of correcting all your desires, intentions, and everything you have in relation to others so that you radiate goodness, are ready to help and elevate them, and bring them closer to the Creator. So don’t worry. Gradually, we will master it all. This path will not escape us.

Everything is ruled by chance. If only we knew who rules chance (Jerzy Stanislav Lec).

My Response: Actually, it is incorrect that chance is above all.

Comment: But he says: “If only we knew who rules chance.”

My Response: Chance is ruled by idea of the Creator, the path of the Creator. And what else do you need to know about this?

Question: So you need to know that there are no accidents in life?

Answer: Of course.

Question: There are no accidents in life?

Answer: None.

Comment: Everything that happens to me, all encounters, marriages, divorces, everything.

My Response: Everything, everything, absolutely everything! Everything you want is not accidental.

Question: And all these paths–where do they lead to?

Answer: To the realization that a person is under the Creator.

Question: And what does this realization give me? Here I am under the Creator. Let’s say I even felt it in my heart and with all my fibers. What does this give me?

Answer: Cling to Him and do not let go like a little child.

Question: That’s it, just like a child clings to mom!  The child wraps his arms and legs around mom and holds on like that. And what will happen if I can suddenly do this?

Answer: You can be sure that nothing will happen to you.

Question: This is my complete safety?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is an illness in spirituality? How can we recognize and prevent it?

Answer: An illness in spirituality is not the power of all sorts of microbes and viruses, but the power of egoism over us. In this case, we are considered spiritually ill. Therefore, we need to recover and maintain such a standard of living so as not to be spiritually ill.

Question: If I feel the pain of separation from the group, the pain of disunity between us, and a reluctance to get up for the morning lesson and unite with my friends, can this be called a disease, and the group is a doctor?

Answer: Yes, it can be seen that way; you’re correct.

Question: How do you deal with such states?

Answer: You should annul yourself in relation to the group. Self-annulment, without questioning whether your friends are right or wrong, is always the correct approach. If the entire group has a unified opinion, you can join it without any further checks.
