Question: You told me how you started working with a small group that could fit in one small room in 1995. Then you moved into a larger room and later bought the current building. Many years have passed since then. Should the building get even bigger?

Answer: I have not even thought about it.

Continue to study Kabbalah, and you will see that you have no questions on this topic because you are at the mercy of the Creator, the upper force. Whatever it gives you, take it and correct it within this framework. Nothing else.

If I have, say, 50 people left instead of thousands, I do not think I would worry because it comes from above. It is not my decision, not my choice. There are people who come and go, and I never take any steps to stop them. Are you leaving? Good luck! That is all.

Why are you worried about this? Worry about the whole world, when we will correct it.

Do not look for any flaws. On the contrary, look for the right way to connect with your friends, to give to them, to receive from them, and to be with them. Work only on unification. Apart from unification, nothing should bother you.

With this collective responsibility, which we need to reach and accept each member of the nation was liberated from worrying about the needs of his own body and could observe the Mitzva, “Love your friend as yourself” in the fullest measure and give all that he had to any needy person since he no longer cared for the existence of his own body, as he knew for certain that he was surrounded by six hundred thousand [a Kabbalistic number] loyal lovers standing ready to provide for him (Baal HaSulam,“The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee).”

In the state of mutual guarantee we are like cells in a healthy organism working entirely for the common body. No one works for themselves. This is the law of integral interconnection of parts.

Any integral, analog system is designed so that each of its elements works solely to keep the entire system in order and does everything within its capacity. As a result, the system is in absolute interconnection, mutual guarantee, and an absolutely stable state. No matter what happens, each element cares for maintaining the whole system and ensures it remains in constant equilibrium.

This equilibrium is dynamic, but it is never interrupted because each element includes the feelings of all others and cares only for their collective existence. No one thinks about themselves, and thus the whole system functions properly. All of nature is arranged and operates according to this principle except for us humans.

If there are ten people in that body, it has ten times more power than a single person does.

However, there is a condition: When they gather, each of them should think that he has now come for the purpose of annulling self-love. It means that he will not consider how to satisfy his will to receive now, but will think as much as possible only of the love of others. (Rabash, Articles “Love of Friends – 2”)

Although a person may not feel, understand, or want it, they must still try to think this way.

This is the only way to acquire the desire and the need to acquire a new quality, called “the will to bestow.” And from love of friends one can reach love of the Creator, meaning wanting to give contentment to the Creator.

In fact, this is a game. What does a game mean? We do not want to give anything or love anyone, but we understand that if we do not attain such a quality, we will remain animals in our world and die as such animals.

Nothing will work out in our life neither for ourselves nor for others. Therefore, if we gather in a ten, it is the only opportunity where we can combine our efforts, desires, and requests, and receive such a force that will lift us above our egoism.

This is the principle of the so-called love of friends; that is, there is no love, but if we connect even our small “agreements,” it is enough to begin rising spiritually.

Question: In our dissemination we explain to people that the world is an integral system that functions like a human body. And they perceive it positively. They agree that we must become a unified system.

What is our next step? Do we need to tell them that they should study Kabbalah or something else?

Answer: We need to explain to them how we can become an integral system. After all, we cannot do this by ourselves, but only if we are affected by the special upper force that is able to unite us.

How can we evoke the influence of the upper force that can unite our egoistic desires so that we complement each other like the cells in the body?

We cannot do this by ourselves.

Each of us is a separate little egoist closed in himself. But there is a positive force outside of us that can do this. And the science of Kabbalah teaches us how to induce its influence on ourselves.

It explains how to get together, try to connect, what actions to take; i.e., how to do everything so that the upper force begins to affect us. This is our mission. We ourselves must learn to use this opportunity and show it to others.

Question: How is the state of perfection more than just a merger with the Creator?

Answer: The state of perfection is the ultimate ascent above egoism and closeness to the Creator until complete connection with Him. Essentially it is the final correction where all of man’s egoism works toward not feeling separated from the Creator, but feeling that he desires to cling to the Creator with all his attributes.

The truth is that each of us is in the perfect ten, and only one’s egoistic desires do not allow a person to see that he or she is in an ideal state among ideal people.

And the fact that one sees negative qualities in others, it is said, “One rejects in the measure of his flaw.”

Therefore, if a person sees something imperfect in one’s friends, let him look closely, but only in order to see this imperfection in himself and thus be able to correct himself. Let’s try to have such an attitude.

Question: We are talking about the fact that I must clarify the desire to bestow within myself. If it is completely corrected, can we come to mutual guarantee (Arvut)?

Answer: Yes and no. You can come to mutual guarantee in the ten.

Question: Must the general desire be corrected in the ten?

Answer: Not 100%, but at the levels you are at.

The general Kli is millions, billions of people. And we are talking about fulfilling the guarantee condition in the ten. The ten itself enters spirituality and rises through spiritual levels, 125 steps. At each level there is conception (Ibur), nurturing (Yenika), and maturation (Mochin); that is, more and more levels.

It is so precisely graded that at every moment, by gathering together repeatedly, you can rise and feel how you are rising. As you draw closer, a qualitatively new spiritual state arises in you—the Kli. In it, you feel the increasing revelation of the Creator.

Question: Can you share your experience of how you lifted the spirit in the group when you friends felt tiredness from putting in efforts?

Answer: How can I tell you? First, any of our states are always movement forward. Always! As it is said: “One is elevated in sanctity and never lowered.” Therefore, even if it seems to you that you are falling and going backward, it only seems that way. It is designed that way, like a wheel that turns forward – backward, forward – backward, but moves forward.

Second, as soon as you feel that the awareness of the importance of the goal, the mood, the intention, and the prospect disappears, you should immediately, without delay, sit down to some serious work translating, processing texts, writing on Twitter, on Facebook, it does not matter where; that is, engage in either translations, writing, or disseminating—some kind of effective work. This helps a lot. And most importantly do joint activities in the group.

The states when a person falls are actually good states. The fact is that falling in your egoistic qualities adds egoism. Egoism was hidden, and now you have been given a bit more of it, which means you can start working over it and rise. You will fall again due to an addition of egoism and will start working over it and rise again. In this way, you will constantly be falling—rising, falling—rising.

Therefore, falling is actually moving forward, rising, but along the left line in the development of egoism. In the right line, you are given a sense of rising. But still, in both states you are moving forward.

Question: But if I see that a friend has lost heart, how can I lift his spirits?

Answer: There are many different ways to do this: talk to him, study together, sing together, have meals together, and so on. Try to do everything you can.
