Daily Morning Lesson: October 21, 2026
Part 2: Conversations with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman during the day. October 19, 2026
Reader: Hello friends. Let's sit down, get organized. Let's arrange our intentions. Let's remember what we want. Rav said in the lesson we heard now, “We're not asking for reward. What reward? We're not asking for reward from what we need to ask for. This is the entire problem. Investment is investment, but this happens with quantity, not quality. Investment in our quality is where I demand the reward, specifically this. I demand a payment or the reward of a connection with Him. If I were to ask this way for my investment, maximum, he says, three years, if I think even less.”
We heard now a lesson, an amazing lesson with Rav, like every morning. We're about to see a new discussion on the path, a very special one, which the friends recorded with Rav a day or two ago, which has a lot of gratitude in it for the lessons that we're seeing now, for these gifts that we're receiving. It has a preparation for the congress in it. It has questions about the friends who were here with us years ago, and today we don't see them. And maybe they simply didn't ask for the reward and despaired. We don't want it to happen to us. So let's now enter this discussion with a lot of intention and a lot of demand. And after it, we're already telling you, there will be a video that is no less special. We'll talk about it. We have a lot of intention and many possibilities to demand, to truly demand and scrutinize our path correctly. So, let's enter together to this discussion.
Student: (02:53) We now are looking at the recordings from 20 years ago. We see that half, maybe more than half, have left, maybe 80%.
M. Laitman: Yes, some left. Some left in the world of truth, some in this world.
Student: There are serious people that come every day to the morning lessons, you know.
M. Laitman: What's your question?
Student: The question is, should we invest in this or should we just let it go? It's the Creator, and that's it. We have our environment, but we have the sources. We can't change, that's the order of our study. The study starts at two, we study the sources, whoever it bores, well, what else can you do?
M. Laitman: You can't do anything.
Student: Correct. Meaning there's no going down to the level of the person in the study.
M. Laitman: You could take him aside and talk to him, and Rabash would also talk about it, but all in all, not more than a private conversation.
Student: (04:01) And to give him importance. Yes, that we do. We do this, but all together, there's no point in touching this. The morning lesson is the morning lesson; the sources - the sources. “The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” TES, we sit, we study, it's difficult. Difficult. We'll raise importance, you'll have a little strength to continue.
Student: After we brought a person through all kinds of ways to, it doesn't matter, but to bring him here, it's okay. But after you understood that this is the truth and there's no games here. Yes, we have a Ten, we have sources, and this is what we have. Nothing else will help. And if he doesn't have that, he'll leave. If this isn't really important for him, the truth. And if he won't leave now, he'll leave a month from now, right?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Meaning, the study was never changed. Not now, not with Rabash, not with Baal HaSulam. It's all the same. We sit, we read, we study, and so on. Dissemination is different. There, we can maybe play a little bit, a little this way or that way to bring people closer. But after someone entered, there's no changing things. He needs to change if he wants to change.
M. Laitman: Yes, but nevertheless, we need to try and grab a person through the mechanism of dissemination.
Student: (05:17) Yes. I'm talking about after we really… He's with us, he's studying with us. We caught him. After he's studying, I'm saying, after he completed, let's say, the courses for a year, sometimes people leave. Many leave after a year or two. So…
M. Laitman: Yes, yes.
Student: Because, look, there's nothing we can do. To pay Maaser, to be in a Ten, and to come study at 2 a.m., how many people can do that? These are conditions that are impossible to withstand. Also, those who are with us now can barely do it, but they…
If a friend has difficulty - friends with us for years, let's say a decade, not that he just started yesterday - he's for a decade with us, he's studying. You see, it's hard for him to sit down and hear. He's not disregarding things, he appreciates the friends, he loves the friends, he has no resistance. You can feel like he's bored, it's not sustaining him. It's not drawing him like others. How can you help him?
M. Laitman: Nothing.
Student: Nothing? I can't do anything for him? I look at him and…
M. Laitman: You can think. You can think what to do to him, what to do for him, but… That is it.
Student: (06:52) What will give him an innovation, some novelty so he'll come like yesterday? What he can do? Can he do something on his own?
M. Laitman: I think that yes.
Student: What?
M. Laitman: I think that we can… I think we can reach man's heart through those who are near to him, or his relatives, or those who are near to him, through the friends. There's nothing you can do. This, this is what you have, to work with.
Student: When we look at the group and we see that we don't have millions that are studying Kabbalah. It's not something that's growing and you see it from year to year thousands more are joining. No, it kind of remains kind of a small group in humanity. Is that good for the Creator like that?
M. Laitman: If it's good for the Creator? Go ask Him.
Student: No, but I'm saying, do we need more? Does it mean that we're doing something wrong?
M. Laitman: No, according to what's written, according to how we talk between us, the new ones, with the veterans, nothing more to do.
Student: There may be another question. We have a Congress coming up now, in a week from now, a regional Congress, global. Its topic is “Awakening from below.” That's its subject, its topic. What can we really awaken from below? What is the force of the created being, of ours, to awaken from below?
M. Laitman: To awaken from below means that we have to try, have to try and try to wake up. I think the primary support comes from being together more.
Student: (09:51) Are there people that are maybe less suitable for the study? I mean, they barely need to study, they need to work more, to serve, to organize. Study just doesn't talk to them. A little here and there to read some articles; yes, or not? Does everyone need to be for several hours and sit and study?
M. Laitman: I don't think that there are people who would be happy if you bring them study in place of dissemination.
Student: (10:39) I'm waiting for the next lesson. Such special lessons. Rav, every day we're hearing, we're reading together an article, Rabash, and we're going over your lessons from 25 years ago, more or less. Lessons that you gave when you built the group. I wasn't in those lessons then. I'm also hearing from those who were there, that they feel like they weren't there and didn't hear what you gave. And you, I don't know. I don't know to even explain how much you're giving there. It's a treasure. Every word, the spirit you give there, growing, developing, supervising, caring for, loving so much. So many friends are so impressed with these lessons that you can't explain. The lesson ends and I want to put it again and repeat to hear it again and again. There's so much there. So really, huge gratitude in the name of the whole world Kli. And I'm certain that everyone who hears these lessons is thankful to you for all that you gave and you give.
M. Laitman: So, wake up tomorrow morning.
Student: Yes, great gratitude.
