Why Should One Annul Oneself before the Creator?

253Question: Why must a person annul oneself before the Creator in spirituality? Cancelling everything the Creator gives to a person and not thanking Him for it seems wrong in relation to what the Creator has created.

Answer: The point is that people see their flaws, which separate them from the Creator. Therefore, they must first correct these flaws to reduce the distance between themselves and the Creator because, for now, they reveal themselves as being opposite to Him.

Only afterward, when this distance decreases, will they be able to ask the Creator differently and truly thank Him.

How Can You Feel the Creator’s Answer?

557Question: What does it mean if you devote all your efforts to the Creator and constantly ask Him questions, but get no answers?

Answer: Either your desire is not genuine, not directed at giving, or you cannot understand His response.

Question: How can we feel the answer in the group? Or will it go through everyone separately?

Answer: You must feel it only in your common Kli, if only you will work with it. Therefore, in no case should you stand out, but on the contrary, you should unite with each other more and more tightly.

The Main Thing Is to Ask All the Time

558Comment: You said that we ask the Creator to fill us and to bring us closer.

My Response: Yes.

Question: But Rabash writes that the correct asking is not for fulfillment, but for Kelim (vessels). What is the correct way to address Him?

Answer: Ask for what you have a desire and intention for. And when the Creator reveals your Kelim, you will see what happens there.

Question: Our desires seek fulfillment, something good, light. But how do you ask for what Rabash advises?

Answer: Ask; it does not matter what. The main thing is to keep asking all the time. And gradually your desires will become more sharply directed.

When Will the Creator Accept Our Work?

282.01Question: When working in a group, we find joy in our work for the Creator. How can we be sure that the Creator accepts our work?

Answer: You must feel it. If you unite among yourselves and in relation to the Creator, while desiring to give everything to Him, to be together with Him in everything, then you will feel that you are rising toward the Creator, and that He is descending to you.

Greater Responsibility

943Question: As we receive a new state due to exerting a significant effort, what should the right attitude toward it be? Should we try to remember the previous connection and take some power from there, does it disappear, or is it hidden from us?

Answer: We still have the same goal, but it is only much more explicit and better understood. We have the same friends, only they are much closer to me and I need them more. There is the same order, only it is more understandable to me, which causes me to have a greater responsibility in adhering to it (lessons, meals, and so on).

We must feel we have risen to a new level and have a greater sense of responsibility, not only for ourselves, but for others, the Creator, and the whole world.

Intention for the Sake of Heaven

961.2Question: Is it possible and necessary to maintain and develop an ascent, or is it a state of a degree where we can achieve nothing more since we have reached the highest point of the degree?

Answer: No, a person does not know whether it is the highest point of the degree or not. One must constantly strive to rise further by accepting the Creator’s attitude toward him as essential. In this way he forms the correct attitude toward his state and the Creator and always strives to ascend higher and higher.

Question: How can one maintain the intention for the sake of Heaven during this ascent?

Answer: One person cannot do this alone. It also requires an environment. You must gather with friends, talk with them, and discuss. In this way, a person will gradually reach a point where his intention and thoughts focus only on maintaining connection with the Creator.

What Does the Body Have to Do With It?

49.01Question: If the corrections we go through are meant for the soul, what sensations do we feel in the body? It seems like they complicate the work of feeling correction. Why are they given to us then?

Answer: Honestly, I do not understand what you are talking about. If I focus on clarifying my relationships with my friends and clarifying my relationship with the Creator through these relationships, what does the body have to do with it?

Of course, the body also suffers; it shakes and feels various tensions, but I would say these are minor side effects. There is nothing significant about them.

You can rest assured that nothing will happen to your body. The body only becomes healthier if physical states result from your spiritual efforts. I guarantee you that.
