420.06Question: What does it mean “to hear nature”?

Answer: To hear nature means to be close to it.

Question: Close to nature, what is that?

Answer: A person close to nature is one who perceives everything around him as the attitude of the Creator toward him. Therefore, he does not see anything bad in it, right up to his own death. He also does not see anything bad in this: when it comes, it comes, and I go.

Question: Is it possible to live like this, in warmth and calm?

Answer: Yes, why not? Of course. It is an inner voice within oneself that simply has to be revealed.

Comment: But we have been deprived of this hearing, of hearing nature.

My Response: It is our egoism that locks us inside ourselves and does not let us turn anywhere.

Question: So, is it better for it that we do not hear nature?

Answer: It is an evil force that acts in parallel with the good force, but we give preference to this evil force.

Question: And how can we begin to yearn for nature, for this hearing?

Answer: Try to penetrate inside nature; this is a connection with the Creator. We must try to draw closer to Him. And then everything will work out for us.

Question: But this requires clarification. For a person, what is the Creator?

Answer: Everything that is around us.

Question: Is it all the Creator?

Answer: Yes. And even everything that is within us is all the Creator.

To come closer to Him means to reveal your sensations so that there would be no borders, no barriers, between you and Him. And then you will feel that in general, the whole world is filled with a subtle singing. That is how I would put it.

Question: Beautiful! I will not even try to clarify what that is. Let this feeling remain. Tell me, is this necessary for our survival?

Answer: The point is not to survive in this world, but to be in harmony with it. And that is how this harmony comes.

260If a person feels bad, like an ordinary person from the street, this still does not prompt them to think that there is some special solution. They do not think about where this bad state came from, for what purpose, how it can be avoided, and what one can come to.

Why doesn’t such awareness arise in them? The reason is that the surrounding light of the higher degree is, for now, illuminating the person’s opposite Kelim, Kelim that wish only to receive, to enjoy without any connection to bestowal, to the Creator, and this state does not change.

However, if these Kelim (even if a person is still completely immersed in egoism, in self-enjoyment) begin to study Kabbalistic books, then, as Baal HaSulam writes, even through a single desire to know (not to purify, but simply to know), they will draw the surrounding light upon themselves, which will attract the “charm of holiness” upon them. Then a person will gradually begin to understand that something called “bestowal” exists and perhaps it is something good.

It is the surrounding light that brings a person to the thought that it is something good. Precisely because this correction already exists within them (the thought that bestowal is something good), a person becomes closer to the surrounding light and to some extent connects with it. Their direction already coincides.

Then a person can receive the forces from the surrounding light that will develop this quality within them, the “charm of holiness,” the quality of bestowal.  In this way, by making efforts in the same direction, they ascend.

Therefore no preliminary knowledge is required from us, no special qualities. Any person can open a book and wish to rid themselves of all their troubles by the fact that, without understanding anything, they will read it. And that is all. One can begin from zero.

Gradually, as one advances, their intention is refined, and they begin to better understand where that sharp point is, the point toward which they must direct their thoughts each time more clearly and more precisely. Thus, with each time, they become more and more experienced.

938.04The more we reach out to the right goal, the more we shorten the time, as it is said: “Israel sanctifies the times,” and we come to the state we must attain. All sufferings and pleasures revolve around the fact that only with their help can a person direct oneself to the goal.

We must build such an environment, such a group, around us that, with the greatness of the goal, with the awareness of the baseness of our present state in this world, will direct us so that without preliminary sufferings we will strive to this goal even before the forces of nature act upon us and begin to press, forcing us to advance toward it.

Of course, no one can know what is happening in another since each comes from a different point of the soul. Each must pass the degrees in a different form. All 620 corrections on 620 desires, which are called 620 degrees, each of us must pass in a different form.

And here, only the person’s individual work is taken into account: how sensitive one is to his present state in relation to the goal standing before them. Only one’s inner attitude, one’s awareness of the importance gives one motivation to move and work.

That is, in every state, the person himself, or the society that he defines around himself must remind him what is the most important thing in life and accordingly oblige him and give him also the strength to advance.

And then he goes through the still, vegetative, and animate levels. Rabash gives examples: one sits at home with his family, he is still on the still level of development; another already runs around meetings, working for the benefit of society, this is the vegetative level of development; and a third already thinks not only about how to arrange the world together with the people who fill it. He must already move to a degree that is above humanity, to where decisions are made, where actions are truly carried out.

And then he already works not with his family, not with society, not with humanity, but with what is above humanity: with forces and goals that are higher than nature. Naturally, none of them can understand the other.

But, as Rabash says, in whatever state a person may be, he must always reach out to those who are better, greater, more exalted, and in any state place before him the goal of attaining them.

168Righteous,” “sinners,” “teachers,” and “students” are what all man’s states are called. We study that the whole world is inside man. What a person reveals in his sensations is his world. And if so, then he has a connection with the Creator. It follows that both righteous and sinners and teachers and students are his states.

In each state a person goes through, one must learn to investigate and evaluate the states so that they become closer to the goal, to tune oneself to them even if the person is in a descent, to study and find support in the state one reached during an ascent. The main thing is to single out what is essential and, as far as possible, direct oneself to it.

If a person strives for this, one passes through all the states quickly and in the most beneficial form. As Rabash writes, each of us has a point called the root of the soul and in our material reality, by means of the disturbances we receive through this world, we can increase this point 620 times. And then, instead of a point, we will merit to become a soul with a filling that is called the Creator, the light.

Then a state will come in which the soul, its Kli, together with the light, will be in adhesion, in equivalence of form, and this is the final state we must attain.

To strive for this state, to feel ourselves in ascents as close to it as possible, and when in descents nevertheless not to run away and not to fall into despair and inactivity but to constantly reach for it with the help of study and friends, this is our entire goal.
