Part 3. Rabash. Article No. 8, (1984). Which Keeping of Torah and Mitzvot Purifies the Heart?

Reading Article (00:07) “Rabash. Article No. 8, (1984). Which Keeping of Torah and Mitzvot Purifies the Heart.”

1. S. (08:24) It is not clear at all look what he is writing here, because commandments do not require intention even the actions without an intention are capable of purifying his will to receive. One thing I am happy about when you come to the Congress, what is he saying? I don’t even hold the intention, just come here into the Congress, you don't even need to hold an intention even actions without intention are capable of purifying his will to receive, can you please explain?

R. Without the desire and the intention; desired intention.

S. What is a desired intention?

R. In order to bestow.

S. If we come to the Congress and from all over the world, according to what he's writing here, we don't need to have a specific intention, it is enough to connect with the friends, and he says we are capable of purifying our will to receive even without even holding an intention. Many people start studying just a little while ago, they are coming here and some people have been studying for twenty, thirty years, how can everyone assimilate with everyone?

R. Everyone integrates in such a way, it's that way in every single generation, where there's this incorporation of all kinds of people and there's no problem with that.

S. According to what he says it's okay, you don't have to hold an intention, you come, you incorporate and you connect. Then towards the end it says we receive from the words of Maimonides that everyone needs to come to Lishma, the difference is in the timing. How do you explain that? What does it mean?

R. That’s how it is. Each one in his own time, as much as he understands as much as he feels, as much as he has preparation from the structure of the soul.

S. Meaning each one comes at his own time, you can call it the end of correction, whatever you want but in general not everyone is rewarded in the same time, the same?

R. No.

2. S. (10:57) What is the prohibition about the line, “you should rebuke your friend,” how cautious should we be about it?

R. There's a sentence that says, if you are certain that you are right in something and the other one you see who has doubts, so you need to tell him about the foundation of your confidence that it might help him.

3. S. (12:07) I wanted to ask about the same topic because he writes that sometimes a person is only trying to rebuke his friend in order to dominate him. How should we ensure that we want to bestow to the friends and do it for good reasons and not in order to dominate them?

R. That is how it is, you need to be careful, you need to be careful. You've heard that from me about such things.

S. No, I'm asking for advice, to know if my intention is pure when I turn to a friend?

R. Just to give an example, just to give an example, and as much as he will receive from that example let him receive and as much as he does not, so he does not. That is what I recommend.

4. S. (13:14) The friends will start arriving before the Congress and the Congress will seemingly start before but we also have an actual Congress in these two days and then the days around it. Should there be an inner separation in the work between those two days and then during these two days when we enter it?

R. I think that we need to learn it and we will discuss all kinds of things that are important, to those who come physically to the convention will have work in preparation before the convention, and also at that time and afterward, yes.

S. We are in the morning lesson every day, we work constantly, but the day before the Congress when I go to sleep and I wake up the next day, do I have to be different somehow? Does there have to be some inner switch now Congress is starting?

R. You need to already begin that from today, to stretch that switch so that it will work.

S. If it is starting today what is the difference between that and the two days of the Congress?

R. Talk to their friends because you are doing it, you are planning it, you are executing the work, talk with them and decide.

S. We are working inside, but I don't know how to explain if the work in the Congress and the work before the Congress, should be different somehow?

R. No. The moment you start thinking about it and advancing to it that is already called the convention.
