Understand Each Other without Words

627.1Question: If one of the spouses in a family notices how the other is working on his egoism, should he praise him for this?

Answer: No, you do not need to praise or talk about it; otherwise, it will confuse everything. It is best to just try to understand each other without words. That is much stronger, much more impressive, and gives everyone deeper work on themselves.

If you feel that you are working on yourself and trying to change somehow, but you do not see this from your partner, then you need to somehow hint to him to do this or that, that here, for example, he has the opportunity to lower himself a little.

Everyone has their own egoism, and everyone works on it. To help your partner in this work, you need to lead by example.

The Goal Is to Reach the Qualities of the Creator

566.01Question: How does it happen that the fire that warmed us and nurtured our love, suddenly turns into something consuming? Where is the main oversight? When does it suddenly turn around?

Answer: On one hand perhaps the spouses forget that they receive a connection between them through the Creator and they throw Him out of their relationship. On the other hand they forget that they have a common goal in front of them and that it is unchangeable and unshakable. If there are children, then there is nothing to talk about at all. After all, we live not only for ourselves, but also for the sake of our children.

Question: As I understand it, our goal is to reach love, the qualities of the Creator. How do children contribute to this?

Answer: Children contribute by forcing you to rise above your egoism and sacrifice it for their sake.

Question: Why exactly should the Creator be between a man and a woman?

Answer: Otherwise they would hardly unite with each other and continue their existence together.

What the Media Should Teach

271Question: How can all the media that surround us transform into Kabbalistic media, meaning that it would carry useful and not just stupid information?

Answer: The media should educate people in such a way as to direct them toward global, integral unification. There is nothing more they can do.

Naturally this would not be Kabbalistic education, but a correct social and moral unity. Kabbalistic unity will come to people gradually.

When they begin to correctly connect with each other under the guidance of Kabbalists, then they will begin to feel that in this unity there is some kind of internal force, an internal property, that lifts and inspires them. Then they will begin to behave differently.

Living by the Laws of the Torah

208Question: What does it mean to live by the laws of the Torah?

Answer: Everything we should receive from the Torah is intended solely to help us live better.

Question: When the Torah helps people, they fulfill the commandments. But how can one check whether the Torah is helping them or if they are performing actions of bestowal to receive?

Answer: One must progress further and gradually will begin to see.

Question: Is it possible to reach a state where the Torah constantly protects you on the path so that you are always in joy and ascent?

Answer: We cannot achieve the ideal state because we are not in final correction (Gmar Tikkun), but gradually get closer to it.

The Creator Understands Everything

294.4Question: Should I feel guilt for not observing a commandment and ask for forgiveness from the Creator? Or will efforts in the work be a better apology?

Answer: Generally, both are good. You don’t have to apologize, you just need to feel your mistakes. That is already good. The Creator understands everything.

At the same time you should have a sense of guilt, but one that does not hold you back in your development.
