Part 2: The Ruin as an Opportunity for Correction.
Reader: Hello, we are reading from selected sources on the topic of, Ruin is an Opportunity for Correction, continuing from excerpt 33. You can find the study material in Kabbalahgroup.info and the Arvut system, and you can also send questions live through our sites. Whoever asks a question in the study hall is asked to stand up, hold the microphone close to one's mouth and speak loud and clearly. So excerpts on the topic of Ruin is an Opportunity for Correction, The Sorrow of Divinity, excerpt number 33.
Reading: (00:41) Excerpt 33. RABASH, Article No. 19 (1988), "What Are Silver, Gold, Israel, Rest of Nations, in the Work?"
The sorrow of the Shechina is that she must hide the delight and pleasure that she wants to impart upon the souls but cannot because it will be to their detriment, for through the abundance she imparts upon them while they are in vessels of self-reception, they will be farther from Kedusha, as the abundance will go to the Klipot. It follows that in the upper one, sorrow means that he cannot bestow upon the lower ones. This is called “the sorrow of the Shechina.”
For this reason, we pray to the Creator to give us the strength to overcome the vessels of reception for ourselves, and then we will be able to work only in order to bestow. At that time the Shechina will be able to show the glory and grandeur in her by having the ability to receive what she wants to impart. There is a rule: “The cow wants to feed more than the calf wants to eat.” Thus, everything depends on the receivers.
M. Laitman: Again, they're asking you to read it again.
Re-Reading: (02:21) Again excerpt 33.

There is a rule: “The cow wants to feed more than the calf wants to eat.” Thus, everything depends on the receivers.
M. Laitman: Questions? None. It’s clear. Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:04) At what point does this sorrow of divinity of Shechina open up in our work? When can we start to feel it?
M. Laitman: Think about it. You’ll see how correct it is. To what extent we all need to be connected and aimed to filling the Shechina. Actually, we are doing the opposite.
Student: Typically, our work is positive. We wish to bestow contentment to the Creator. We want, in the connection between us, to have room for the Creator, so we can bestow contentment to Him, so it can be revealed between us. How can we awaken the fact that we're not doing enough?
M. Laitman: We don't want to fill the Shechina. The Shechina is all our vessels that are in shattering. We need to ask for their correction and then for their fulfillments and that whole gap between the current state and the corrected state is called the sorrow of the Shechina.
Student: There are many excerpts in Psalms that focus on the sorrow but the destruction, the breaking of the heart. How can we connect it and read it?
M. Laitman: You can’t read it. Certainly, the sorrow of the ruin includes all the sorrows, all the problems.
Student: How is this calling toward bestowal?
M. Laitman: If you're asking for the correction of Shechina, what connection is it to asking for something materialistic?
Student: I got it.
M. Laitman: Okay, more? Yes?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:29) Can you say that this is our entire work, to be in the request for the correction of the Shechina?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Now, during the lesson, we have such a request. I don't know if there's an environment. It is an awakening from above. During the day, it's very difficult to renew such thoughts. The question is how much we need to define it between us as an assignment and create such intentions that we can succeed in our common effort.
M. Laitman: Think, think about it.
Student: Is it possible?
M. Laitman: Yes. We need a certain awakening, and it can be from anything.
Student: It can be through a personal effort to connect with a Ten, or does it have to be in the common mutual connection?
M. Laitman: Yes, both this and that. That's it. All right, yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:45) Why the Creator awakens Israel through torment and suffering and not from within, from the heart?
M. Laitman: How, to warm up the heart, so that they want to reach correction?
Student: When He awakened me I felt He awakened me in a qualitative way. I didn't go through torment and suffering.
M. Laitman: Well,
Student: So why can't He do it for the rest of Israel?
M. Laitman: Because it depends on us to awaken each and everyone to awake in the general connection of everyone.
Student: What's the difference between the Creator needing to awaken them and for us to awaken them in prayer and intention?
M. Laitman: The difference is there, either from above or from below. A great difference.
Student: If we do it from below, then the light shines from within the heart of people?
M. Laitman: No, we awaken a deficiency and the Creator does it with the light.
Student: So our prayers and our connection, if it's prayers for the collective for the audience, while we give them a deficiency, we ask for a deficiency for them?
M. Laitman: Yes, 34.
Reading: 34.
Reading: (09:22) Reading excerpt 34, RABASH, Article No. 5 (1988), “What Is, ‘When Israel Are in Exile, the Shechina Is With Them,’ in the Work?”
A person should be sorry for the sorrow of the Shechina, meaning that the Creator is seemingly sorry that He cannot impart delight and pleasure upon the creatures, as in the allegory in the Midrash, which says that it is similar to a king who has a tower filled abundantly but no guests.
To understand the allegory of the Midrash, we can use allegory about a person who held a wedding for his son, and invited food for five hundred guests, but for some reason, no one came and he could barely get a Minyan [ten people] for the Huppah [wedding ceremony]. What sorrow that person felt that he had food for five hundred people but they did not come.
It is on this reason that a person needs to work to be rewarded with bringing contentment to the Creator—by receiving from Him the delight and pleasure. A person who achieves this degree is the happiest person in the world.
M. Laitman: It’s not like he receives the delight and pleasure as a payment. He would do it without the delight and pleasure too. Okay, 35.
Reading: (11:12) Excerpt 35. RABASH, Article No. 29 (1986), "Lishma and Lo Lishma"
When a person begins to work on being righteous, meaning not to receive any reward for himself and work only in order to bestow contentment upon his Maker, the body disagrees and gives him obstructions. It does everything it can to interfere with his work. At that time a person is constantly afflicted and has no peace with the situation he is in because he sees that he has not yet come to be a giver upon the Creator. Rather, everything he does is still without the ability to direct it in order to bestow.
He is always afflicted over it because of the sorrow of the Shechina, called “Shechina in exile.” He is in pain that for self-love he has the strength to work, but where he sees that his will to receive will not have anything, he is negligent in the work.
M. Laitman: Questions? What?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:47) It turns out that it's worthwhile to be in this sorrow all the time. That he doesn't have the forces to work, if he doesn't feel it in the will to receive.
M. Laitman: He should work from any state, even from a state of sorrow.
Student: Yes, just here he emphasizes sorrow from not having the forces, that he's negligent in the work. It’s a state that is worth being in.
M. Laitman: Of course not. If he's in sorrow, why is it worthwhile?
Student: So to turn to the Creator to...
M. Laitman: Okay, so he can come to a request and to our sins without falling into a pit.
Student: How can the Ten cope with these states that the friends are negligent in the work and help them?
M. Laitman: Only through a connection between everyone. When they come, we define for ourselves, what we need to do and impel everyone to accept the right discernments, so there will not be something outside of the connection.
Student: How? We have a whole page of laws, we determined for ourselves we have to do but we see that we're not successful in keeping them all.
M. Laitman: Did someone succeed in their Ten? What Ten do we consider successful? No one's getting up. There's not one Ten that can say, we are trying each day to rise higher and higher?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:18) Sorry, I'm really not alone. I feel it. I also see that if I make the friend sorry or a different friend does, they always find a way to bring something to lift themselves towards the Creator. Not to a low place. Somewhat yes?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: If I have to say which side the scale is turning to, it's for the positive.
M. Laitman: Okay, I have nothing to say. I'm happy. Okay. What do we have for the day?
Reader: We can keep reading excerpts on this topic or a different topic connecting for the sake of humanity.
M. Laitman: We haven't reached that. But soon the lesson will be over.
Reader: About 5.30.
M. Laitman: Sorry. Okay, so where are we?
Reader: We are in 36. RABASH, Article No. 27 (1989), "What Is the Meaning of Suffering in the Work?"
Reading: (16:59) When a person regrets being far from the Creator, that he is inside the will to receive only for his own benefit, like animals, which is unbecoming of the “human” quality, he should direct the suffering so it is not because he wants to be a man, and this is why he suffers, but rather that it is because of the sorrow of the Shechina.
He says an allegory about this, that a person who has a pain in a certain organ, feels the pain primarily in the heart and in the mind, which is the whole of man. Likewise, man is a specific part of the Shechina, called “the assembly of Israel.” She feels the majority of the pain, and this is what he should regret. This is called “suffering” in the work.
M. Laitman: What their collective is missing. No questions? What?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:23) From all these excerpts, to feel the sorrow of the Divinity is something very exalted, we want and need to reach and I see how difficult it is to reach such a sorrow inside me. I guess there is a lot of advice to get there. I want to ask, what do you think the best advice is to reach such sorrow and not to be negligent?
M. Laitman: To delve into that. Think about it all the time from every angle. When is it? On what does it depend? How much or on who, especially, etc. To study the situation that will make the situation clearer to you, greater, more complex and then you'll be able to somehow approach it.
Student: It's said in the previous excerpt, that he finds forces in working for himself. He doesn't find forces to exert for bestowal. That too, is a state felt more and more but against that, there's not enough sorrow.
M. Laitman: For this, we have to ask separately. That you want to discover the place of sorrow, and it's not so clear to you. Not felt as afflicting you. You have to ask.
Student: The ego rejects in every moment, to come close to such sorrow.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: What do you do to have a desire to ask for that?
M. Laitman: Maybe together but other than that, nothing. Together. What?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:53) Rav, he says that a person needs to aim his suffering. That it's not for him. It’s his suffering, but the sorrow of the Shechina. First of all, why not be sorry of trying to be Adam, human?
M. Laitman: Yes, but he doesn't say that this is the first reason that he turns to the Creator.
Student: In the first Rabash article, he said, we gathered here today to ascend on the degrees of Adam. Why not to ask for that? Why not to feel sorry for it?
M. Laitman: You can't because you have two things here that are in sorrow, the sorrow of a person and the sorrow of the Shechina. Which is more important?
Student: Maybe the sorrow of the Shechina. The sorrow I feel is my sorrow.
M. Laitman: So what?
Student: How can I feel a sorrow that I don't feel? What does it mean to direct my suffering? Let's say my leg hurts. So it says, no, better if your head hurts but my leg hurts.
M. Laitman: We'll try to come to it that it will be understood. In the meantime, the light doesn't shine in this way. Read again.
Re-Reading: (22:30) Excerpt 36. RABASH, Article No. 27 (1989), "What Is the Meaning of Suffering in the Work?"
When a person regrets being far from the Creator, that he is inside the will to receive only for his own benefit, like animals, which is unbecoming of the “human” quality, he should direct the suffering so it is not because he wants to be a man, and this is why he suffers, but rather that it is because of the sorrow of the Shechina.
He says an allegory about this, that a person who has a pain in a certain organ, feels the pain primarily in the heart and in the mind, which is the whole of man. Likewise, man is a specific part of the Shechina, called “the assembly of Israel.” She feels the majority of the pain, and this is what he should regret. This is called “suffering” in the work.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:54) What does it mean to direct to the suffering of the Shechina?
M. Laitman: That he wants to feel the sorrow of the Shechina, and to try to correct it.
Student: I understand that a person suffers from harming the system, won't let the light flow through.
M. Laitman: Let's put it this way, yes.
Student: So what could he do with that sorrow?
M. Laitman: He needs to see in what way he can correct the system so the light will shine in the Shechina as before the restriction.
Student: Except for turning to the Creator, can he do anything?
M. Laitman: No. To be incorporated with the Shechina, to check all the vessels, to see to what extent it's possible to approach it, but in the end it's to turn to the Creator.
Student: So when he's directed to the sorrow of divinity, so that means that with all his heart he's turning and yearning and nothing else is disturbing?
M. Laitman: Yes. With the desire and with the feeling, with the mind and the heart.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (25:30) When I turn to the Creator and ask for help, to see the friends as great to connect between us. So I feel that the Creator's answer is, you change and you'll see that everything is good. It's like you're always expecting help, and the answer presses more and more to start changing, start changing. It's like the Creator is pressing and pressing, but you don't know where the help is. It's not simple. You constantly have to change, you have to change and it's choking you from all sides. So how to do it? How to constantly, I don't know how to say it, you feel that the prayer is for help, and it changes in you all the time. It's not simple. Where do you get this force from?
M. Laitman: From adhesion with the Creator. You turn to Him and demand from Him, ask, beg, any form of litany to the Creator to help us rise from our evil inclination, from the bad in us and then we begin to rise.
Student: But I feel that he can't even breathe.
M. Laitman: In order for you to ask, what can he do?
Student: I'm asking, I'm asking, but it's, it's like not in your forces. It's, I don't even know how to explain it.
M. Laitman: I understand you, but there's nothing you can do. You have to continue specifically in that.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:04) What does it mean to reach suffering in the work?
M. Laitman: To come to suffering in the work is when you come to sit with the friends and you study together, some article of Baal HaSulam or Rabash, and you see that your head, your mind is not with everyone. This is already suffering.
Student: That my head isn't with anybody, everybody means that I'm in myself still.
M. Laitman: Outside of the connection with the Creator.
Student: So the sorrow I have to feel is actually that everything, all efforts we do, let's say I make an effort to connect with the friends, to feel the friends, and I can't. So where here do I reach a state of feeling the sorrow of the divinity of the assembly of Israel? So how by not being able to connect, do I not feel the sorrow of the friends? So how from this do I reach the sorrow of the assembly of Israel?
M. Laitman: Only through how you depict it. Imagine, imagine what there is here in reality, what vessel there is opposite from the Creator, all of humanity, all of humanity including all the generations, all the created beings, and you have to make it that, you have to make these souls receive correction and rise, of course with the help of the Creator, to the purpose of creation.
Student: Sometimes I feel that the Creator is playing with us with these forces, that every time He lets us feel that this connection between us comes from a different direction, meaning I want to depict a picture, what the Creator would want in every moment to be in the table in the Tens, what should be between all Tens, what should be in the whole world, in our nation, and you always feel that everything you do and you ask, and all our prayers, yesterday we had a mutual prayer after the article we read, and you feel it's not enough? You feel that there's always something that you didn't do enough, that there's always more to do. What is that deficiency brings us every time, that it's not enough, and you feel that you want to do more and more?
M. Laitman: So that you don't stop praying, don't stop asking.
Student: We shouldn't stop asking for any state that we feel between us, that we get in every moment.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Reading: (32:10) Excerpt 37, Baal HaSulam, Shamati, Article No. 1, “There Is None Else Besides Him”
When he regrets that the Creator does not draw him near, he should also be careful that it would not be in relation to himself, meaning that he is removed from the Creator, for by this he becomes a receiver for his own benefit, and a receiver is separated. Rather, he should regret the exile of the Shechina [Divinity], meaning that he is causing the sorrow of the Shechina.
One should imagine that it is as though a small organ of the person is sore. Nevertheless, the pain is felt primarily in the mind and in the heart. The heart and the mind are the whole of man, and certainly, the sensation of a single organ cannot resemble the sensation of a person’s full stature, which is primarily where the pain is felt.
Likewise is the pain that one feels when he is removed from the Creator.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:42) How can we even imagine such a state that we make the Creator feel sorry, like it is written here?
M. Laitman: If He expects something of us and we don't do it, then because we are not doing His will, He is sorry about that.
Student: But if we look at the whole picture, so He imprinted in us some software, and...
M. Laitman: This is all talk.
Student: Why?
M. Laitman: Because it is, I'm telling you, there are conditions. If you don't meet the conditions, then the Creator feels sorry about that.
Student: So the general calculation is just me trying to avoid it, I'm the will to receive, that it's like taking the responsibility away from what I really need to do?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (34:59) He said in the quote that there's an organ that feels pain, and it's felt in the heart and the mind. That pain from the feeling of distance from the Creator, where does that pain exist, actually?
M. Laitman: In the mind and heart as well.
Student: It's felt in the mind and heart, but it comes from a different place.
M. Laitman: From where does it come?
Student: Where does it come?
M. Laitman: From the Creator, probably.
Student: What action can we do? So either we pay attention that the pain exists, or we increase it to have a stronger connection.
M. Laitman: Only by learning. By understanding what are the connections for it, what are the states before it, etc.
Student: What does that mean?
M. Laitman: To the extent that a person thinks about something, it becomes clearer to him, better understood, greater, more scrutinized, clarified.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:36) The Creator is doing very strong actions in the nation of Israel to awaken them. It was never to such an extent. What can we really do to help to awaken the nation?
M. Laitman: We can rise seriously toward that thing.
Student: I feel that we're looking over from the side. I'm absorbing everything through the social media. That's where I know what's happening in the nation, and I feel completely disconnected, that I'm not with the people enough. So I'm asking, maybe we can, like once a week, maybe do an action of volunteering, not for dissemination, but just to absorb what's happening in the nation of Israel through that, to raise prayer for a true deficiency, because I feel that we're like in a bubble.
M. Laitman: That's right that we're in a bubble, but I don't think that's what's disturbing.
Student: It won't be able to, it won't help us?
M. Laitman: No.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:18) To continue, so what's stopping us?
M. Laitman: What's stopping us? Our pride, that we aren't revealing our heart to incorporate with all the sorrow, with all the fear, with all the trembling there is in the nation. That's disturbing us.
Student: So what you're saying is that we need to attain it through our work here between us?
M. Laitman: Turn to the Creator, to turn to the Creator, and He should do it.
Student: There's no need to come to a state where we become incorporated with...
M. Laitman: With what?
Student: We're not there. Everything we do here is in this bubble in the society.
M. Laitman: We need to remain the way we are. There's almost no need to go out to the nation, because then they'll swallow you. It's like in the ocean, you won't see the groups, the Tens, nothing. Only by us connecting, that are able to be like one man more or less, one system, by this we can bestow, we can influence something. We have to try to keep the right connection between us on all states that will come to us.
Reader: Item 38.
Reading: (40:42) Excerpt 38, RABASH, Article No. 5 (1988), "What Is, 'When Israel Are in Exile, the Shechina Is With Them,' in the Work?"
Since man is born with a Kli for self-reception, how can he change his nature and say that he is not concerned with himself in any way, and the only thing that pains him, and for which he is sorry, is the sorrow of the Shechina, meaning the sorrow that seemingly exists above because he is unable to satisfy His will.
That is, since He desires to do good but He cannot execute this benefit because the creatures haven’t the suitable Kelim to receive it, and since by observing Torah and Mitzvot he will be able to make suitable Kelim, as our sages said, “I have created the evil inclination; I have created the Torah as a spice,” this is why he works with all his might to observe Torah and Mitzvot, so that by observing Torah and Mitzvot he will emerge from self-love and will be rewarded with vessels of bestowal. Then, he will be able to bring contentment to the Maker, from whom he receives the delight and pleasure.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:23) There's a gap between the point where a person discovers that he's not serving the Creator properly, as he should be, he doesn't have vessels of bestowal, and this higher state, where he regrets the exile or the sorrow of the Shechina.
M. Laitman: Again.
Student: A person discovers that everything he does is for his own benefit.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Well, most of what he does is for his own benefit and that should bring him to the sorrow of the Shechina. There's still a gap that I cannot connect. How, by receiving and being in separation, there is this transition where it is not for my own sake, this sorrow, that it's difficult for me, that I cannot satisfy my own selfish deficiencies. How do we make this transition?
M. Laitman: I don't see this as such an obstacle, like you're describing it. Let's say you're discussing it in the Ten, that there's something before you, and you want to overcome it, and you want to connect against that disturbance. In order to erase it, to annul it, you feel that it's possible or not?
Student: It's obvious that it's possible. The moments of the lesson, the moments of the meetings with the friends, it's a totally different world. We're not talking about this. I'm asking about the time when a person is seemingly not in this envelope. He doesn't have the power of the Ten. How, there, do we come closer?
M. Laitman: If he doesn't have the force of the environment, if he's not in the environment, so how can he come closer?
Student: That's exactly the question. There are moments when we are enveloped with the environment, and they are fewer than moments when we are under a different authority. How do we come to being constantly enveloped by the power of the environment?
M. Laitman: Yes, that's a problem. Right? When we will reach that, everything will be solved. Okay. You have a solution?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (46:29) On our level, where do we find the sorrow of the Shechina?
M. Laitman: To find the sorrow of the Shechina?
Student: Yes, on our degree now, in preparing ourselves for the Congress.
M. Laitman: He writes that just as a person doesn't feel the Creator, so in this way he has to depict that also the Creator doesn't feel the Shechina.
Student: When a Ten finds difficulty in learning, in prayer, in devotion, escaping the campaign, what habit, good habit, should a Ten have so as to cover itself with something so it can give a certain relation to the Creator, a minimal level of it, and it's aware that he is the one operating in it, but because he wants us partners in his business.
M. Laitman: Only by going into the degree of Hafetz Hesed, delighted in mercy, and then it can happen.
Student: What is that state where a Ten can somewhat feel that a Hesed, an act of Hesed, which is like mercy, was done with it? Can I give an example?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Let's say that we work and work and tell ourselves, maybe we don't feel like we like this, these works, because it's kind of an answer to what is this work for you, but it's good to us we're building a place of bestowal that is very dangerous. In the end, a person constantly makes calculations of his own benefit, and he can't get out of it. So what is a habit, a daily habit, that a Ten should concentrate on? We cover ourselves with this, we cover ourselves with this, we cover ourselves with this.
M. Laitman: They should do such an exercise, should do an exercise, that every day they can update everyone.
Student: Thank you.
M. Laitman: We're looking in what ways we can bestow, we can connect, but basically we need only one thing, to become incorporated between us with the Creator, and that's it, and then we will do what He decides.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (50:11) I'd like to continue the deficiency regarding the space, this vacancy created during the day between the morning lesson and our meetings in the Zoom. Yesterday we started a move that I believe will continue. We also talked about it many times here. We read the article for this morning. We brought a common prayer among our friends, and agreed that this prayer, we will read it every hour. What does it mean, read it? We remind each other on our WhatsApp group that when the time comes, each one marks that he read it. We don't do another Zoom and a meeting, and you will feel, first of all, how we relate to each other is tighter, and we're constantly watching over each other, and the connection between us and the Creator in the common prayer increases. So these things are simple that we talked about many times. We just have to do them and push it forward and so I feel that we did it, and we will continue.
M. Laitman: Okay.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:44) In regard to this, I wanted to ask, all our work is internal in the heart. When I come out of the lesson, how do I feel the force, the power of the Ten? Because that's our work, to feel this power wherever I am. It's a power I'm incorporated in, the writings, the love, the friends, so it doesn't really matter where I am, but there's an inner point here that maybe I need to do that, to feel this force, to trust it with complete faith.
M. Laitman: Yes, the fact that you want to adhere to the Ten. You want to adhere to the Ten.
Student: Is there anything more I need to do?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: What?
M. Laitman: That you want to reach this connection. The constant connection, that it won't lessen.
Student: And regarding the plea, if I may ask, from the first part, we talk about turning to the Creator with a common request, a common deficiency. Where is the connection, our connection, the internal connection, so that before they call, I will answer. Meaning, so that prayer will be continual in our connection, in our common intention. How do we connect the points?
M. Laitman: That's from the friends discussing it. That you're scrutinizing what deficiencies you have between you, and then you overcome them, and ask the Creator to help you. To help us. To take all those deficiencies, to raise it to Him, and He will correct them. He will bestow upon us with the upper light, and these deficiencies will be filled.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (54:05) So, each person alone sees the gaps in connection and raises them, or should they turn together, say, we have this or that problem between us, let's raise it?
M. Laitman: Usually each one.
Student: It's not in words, it's in the heart.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (54:34) I really feel how dependent we are on each other as a society. The questions coming up, how to do this, how to do that. And we keep getting back to the same point, where basically, if not us toward ourselves, nothing will happen, and maybe it's already in the Ten, maybe it's beyond the Ten already, all of us as a society. When I have the chance to read something during the day, I feel how much reading it gives strength to someone else, to hear the Creator operates in our system. I think the Creator is really operating on us in the closest possible way right now and everything we do during the day, maybe we should give it more of a light on it and I recognize that we're instilling more light, more of the Creator into the system and through these efforts, we will feel this awakening.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: So it becomes more conscious and gives us the strength to do more. So if I feel an awakening, then I know it's my turn to do something, to read, to connect.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: That will bring us salvation.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (56:07) How important is it to share with the Ten, not feelings, but our work, in words, how much you think, how much you do?
M. Laitman: I don't know. That's a problem. By this, you can steal their time to all kinds of your own private thoughts.
Student: Say, on a day-to-day basis, we go over a lesson, each one in his own place. So should we share with a turn, write to them, I went over the lesson. What kinds of reminders that when a person does it, the Ten will know, because otherwise they don't know?
M. Laitman: Yes, it's worth it, but briefly.
