The Most Important Thing in Spiritual Work

232.01Question: What is the most important thing in our work to build a common screen?

Answer: The most important thing in our work is to separate ourselves from the Creator and use all kinds of connections with Him.

Then we can attune ourselves so everything points to the Creator: our connections, work, and  the states we are in. If we approach the Creator correctly, all these means benefit us.

Question: The vision of oneself together with the Creator and all spiritual sensations get erased over time. Why do such exits happen?

Answer: It happens when a person has not yet learned how to work more precisely with their desires and intentions.

233Question: From life to life we are engaged in unification. How can we preserve the memory so that we are born not as wild animals, but continue our work?

Answer: This does not depend on you. The only thing that depends on you is aspiration for spiritual ascent. And what happens to you next is an egoistic question. We do not even discuss it. In other words, everything that will happen will already be above the state from which you started.

You must ask every minute to be closer to your friends in the ten; this is the most important thing, and do not deviate from this. And then you will see what happens. There are still steps that we will go through together.

Lift the Friends in Your Eyes

528.03Question: How can one balance annulment with pride in serving the Creator and the group? What should you do when you want to annul yourself, but at the same time you recognize the importance of the goal and the value of your intention?

Answer: Agree to feel these great states with the intention “for the sake of the goal,” but under no circumstance should you desire to receive them for yourself.

Question: We are taught to see our friend as great, yet he annuls himself. This feeling is irritating. I don’t want him to lower himself because he is in fact worthy of us elevating him.

Answer: His annulment does not affect the way you perceive him.

Comment: But I see the contradiction: he lowers himself, but he is not really like that.

My Response: Then try to raise him in your own eyes.

Correct Relationship

938.07Question: What is the correct connection in the ten according to what we are building?

Answer: It is the closest connection between us when everyone feels the ten in complete unity. Then the Creator can reveal Himself in us to the fullest extent.

Question: What is the correct connection according to what we expect from the Creator, according to His desire?

Answer: For this, we must completely annul ourselves before each other and be connected in such a way that whatever each one receives is shared by all.

Question: What then determines the extent of the Creator’s desire to reveal Himself in the lower ones?

Answer: The extent to which He reveals Himself to the lower ones is the measure of His desire to be revealed. We can desire His revelation only to the extent that we reveal our own capabilities.

Connection Sustained by the Creator

945Question: Why is it important to maintain love in connection rather than simply enjoying the light of life?

Answer: Enjoying the light of life is an egoistic pleasure. But if you are speaking about spiritual closeness with the Creator, you must put a ladder in front of you and at each step clearly define how you will ascend it.

Spiritual love between friends is the connection between you sustained by the Creator. You are connected with Him and with the ten, and by helping each other, you will constantly ascend this ladder toward the Creator.

Question: How can we imitate the qualities of bestowal, persistence, and consistency in spiritual work through love for one another?

Answer: Through effort. Consult with each other, make a single or a few united decisions, and follow them. Then you will see what works and what does not.

Predetermined Program of Creation

222Question: What is required for everyone to unite, and is it even possible?

Answer: Not only is it possible, but it is necessary, and it will definitely be achieved as it is a predetermined program of creation.

The only problem is us.

We already exist in this perfect state initially, but we do not feel it, as for example, a small child does not perceive the world he is in.

Our task is to open our eyes and see the real world we live in, because today it is hidden from us.

The Creator Wants Us to Enjoy

112Question: I feel it is fairly easy to cancel corporeal pleasures. But when tastes in spiritual work come, what should we do with them: fight them or raise a prayer for the Creator to take them away?

Answer: Not in any case! We must rise above pleasures but not kill or erase them. On the contrary, the Creator wants us to enjoy. The last stage of all corrections is absolute pleasure when the light completely covers all the Kelim.

Therefore, we must definitely seek greater pleasure. The only problem is that these great pleasures should be connected with the Creator and our Kli, and we do not replace the Creator with pleasure.

Highest Spiritual Level

961.2Question: Is the level of Moses the highest spiritual level, or are there higher ones?

Answer: No, there are no higher levels. The level of Moses represents the ultimate annulment before everyone.

Question: Rabash said the same about Baal HaSulam, that the Shechina spoke through his throat.

Answer: No, that is not the highest degree.

It means that to the extent a person had a desire, they attained the Creator.
