Question: How can we reach a state where we work without experiencing suffering?

Answer: I have often given the example of my condition before undergoing surgery. I was not afraid of the operation; I desired it and was even prepared to pay the doctor for it. I was waiting for it.

But if a person does not see, know, or feel that a certain action is for his salvation, he runs from it, fears it, and does not want it. Everything depends on the degree to which they recognize the need. If the goal is important to you, then you view all the means that lead to its attainment as only good. You look at them as medicine that you are waiting for and are willing to pay a great deal of money for. You do not perceive it as a blow.

Our attitude toward the will to receive and toward the means by which it will be corrected transforms the feeling of suffering into the feeling of pleasure. That is the difference.

I move from the will to receive to the aspiration to bestow. All the blows that this desire experiences, I perceive as means to attain the desire to bestow. They appear sweet, and I feel them 100% that way. I do not evaluate them as blows, because through them, I detach from my will to receive and feel nothing negative in this.

You may call this psychology or something else, but this is what happens with the substance of our will to receive. This applies literally to all kinds of pleasures, both in the spiritual worlds and in this world. If I connect any sensation of mine, good or bad, with bestowal to the Creator, with the goal, then everything that serves this purpose will be felt by me as pleasure.

We must understand that the purpose of creation is to delight the created beings. In bestowal, we will reveal unlimited pleasures.

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 2/25/26, Rabash, “What Does It Mean that the Creation of the World Was by Largess?”

Question: What does it mean that a person must build a “head” (Rosh)?

Answer: It is written, “From Your actions we know You.” By resembling the Creator, I begin to perceive His thoughts.

How do we learn in this world? A small child looks at his father or at a teacher and imitates their actions without understanding why. So it is with us: we do not understand, but if we perform the corresponding actions, it gradually becomes clear to us why the upper one chose to act this way.

At first, a person sees only the external form—what the upper one does in relation to him. But as he becomes similar to the upper one, he attains His intention: why He reveals Himself in this manner and what He seeks to achieve in His relationship with the lower one. In this way, he is granted the “head,” as it is witten, “From Your actions we know You.”

This is the only action by which we can ascend from a lower degree to a higher one. The action at each degree is called the flavors of the Torah. When I attain the flavors of the Torah, reveal the Creator’s actions within me, and make myself similar to Him, then I taste the flavors of the Torah.

Ta’amim (tastes) are the lights that spread into the Guf (body) of the Partzuf when I align my intention with the intention to bestow, and thus I have a body, a Partzuf. From there, I come to the head of the degree, which is called the secrets of the Torah (Sodot Torah), the intentions of the Creator.

Thus, I reveal the flavors of the Torah, and the Creator reveals Himself to me in this action, giving me desires. Then, from the flavors of the Torah, I come to the secrets of the Torah: “From Your actions we know You,” to the head of the Partzuf. And the head of the Partzuf consists of the Creator’s intentions, which I am not permitted to reveal; I must preserve them.

What does it mean “not permitted to reveal”? What is the severity of this prohibition? In spirituality, “not permitted” means “impossible.” These heads accumulate within me each time; they are all arranged from below upward and are based on the rejection of the light.

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 2/10/26, Rabash, “What Are the Two Actions During a Descent?”

Imagine that you are a parent—perhaps strict, perhaps kind, it doesn’t matter which, but loving—just such a parent relates to their children so should you treat others.

Question: And at the moment when I read this each day and understand that I cannot do it, is that the prayer: “I can’t!”?

Answer: This is not yet a prayer, but a state in which you examine yourself and see how much you need to be corrected. And then you already have some sort of claims or requests for correction. And you lay them out.

You judge yourself; you come and demand that the Creator correct you because you cannot correct yourself. The only one who can is Him. But only in accordance with your demands, requests, and supplications. So hurry!

Question: You began with the instruction to love everyone.

Answer: Yes.

Question: So I want to reach this, but I cannot, and I ask for it?

Answer: Exactly!

Comment: Thank you. Wonderful!

My Response: So prepare yourself.

From KabTV’s “Conversation with Dr. Michael Laitman,” 2/26/26

Question: How can I be sure that the Creator’s greatness is the sole reason for my annulment to the group?

Answer: How do I verify that only the greatness of the Creator guides me along the path? By remembering it, I trying to remember it, nothing more. We have to build on what we have. I can only be sure that if I remember it, I remember it. It is like a shield before me. I have nothing else. How can I verify this?

Question: But is there a result?

Answer: Being in the dark means that I cannot see even one step ahead. I cannot check by any result whether my action was correct. I just have to imagine the result as much as I can without knowing at all what it is, like some kind of motto.

It is called darkness; you do something and do not know what it is. You stick your hand out not knowing what “out” means. Similarly, when walking around the house in the dark, you grope your way not knowing what you might come across.

So, you “stretch out your hand,” that is, you make some kind of internal movement, you know nothing. You only want what this action will lead you to. But what does “you want” mean? What do you know about what you want to achieve? You have not yet reached the state you will be in. Nevertheless, it is considered enough that you think that way in your state.

The only thing you can be sure of is, “Yes, I think so now. I do not know what I can imagine next.” A child is an example of this. He also does things without knowing what he is doing and arrives at something. He has neither reason nor strength; he is busy with imaginary things, but everything is arranged so that what he does leads to something, and he grows up.

What is the difference between the corporeal and the spiritual? Intention, desire. What is the difference between a corporeal and a spiritual embryo? The corporeal embryo belongs to the corporeal world: whatever he does turns out that way, and that is it. But as a spiritual embryo, I must want to be formed in spiritual forces, just like a corporeal embryo in corporeal ones.

The same here: I want to achieve something. I do not know the essence of the actions, I was just told so. And I do not know what the results will be either. Just the motto: I want it to be so. This is the difference between spiritual and corporeal actions: a person must bring oneself to the action, and then it happens.
