Part 1: Preparation to “Connecting to Lishma” convention - Selected Excerpts from the sources. #4

Reader: Hello, we are studying from the document for preparation for the convention, “Connecting to Lishma”, we're going to be reading select excerpts from our sources. We'll be continuing with excerpt number four. You can find the study material in Sviva Tova and Arvut system, Kabbalahmedia.info. Preparation for the convention, “Nearing Lishma”, excerpt number four from Rabash.

4. RABASH, Letter No. 9

Reading: (00:33) One who sees one’s lowliness sees that he is treading the path leading to the work Lishma. This gives one room for real prayer from the bottom of the heart, when he sees that no one will help him but the Creator himself, as Baal HaSulam interpreted concerning the redemption from Egypt, “I, and not a messenger,” for everyone saw that only the Creator Himself redeemed them from the governance of evil.

And when rewarded with the work Lishma there is certainly nothing to be proud of because then one sees that it is only God’s gift, and not “my power and the might of my hand,” and there is no foreign hand that can help him. Therefore, he feels his lowliness—how serving the king is an immeasurable pleasure, and without His help he would not agree to it. Indeed, there is no greater lowliness than this. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:31) Why is it considered a state of lowliness when he sees that he's necessitating the Creator? Why is this lowliness? Why doesn't it fill him with joy and confidence? Why is this actually a humiliating or low state? 

M. Laitman: In terms of the strength, in terms of the feeling, he essentially is not ready for it. 

Student: How to rejoice in a state of lowliness? 

M. Laitman: When he overcomes himself then he sees how much his will to receive is boundless and then he turns to the Creator and asks for the force to overcome. So when he has in his hand a force that he received from the Creator, then he can rejoice.

Student: He writes that one who sees his lowliness sees that he is treading the path leading to Lishma. How does he know that he's working towards Lishma?

M. Laitman: Every moment that he wants to aim himself towards a spiritual goal he sees how weak and confused he is, how he keeps repeating the same mistakes and then he sees that without the Creator's help, he can't come out of it. 

Student: And then he writes, when rewarded with the work of Lishma, then certainly nothing to be proud of, because he sees that it's only a gift from God. So, what does a person do? He discovers forces that the Creator is operating upon him? 

M. Laitman: He sees that working in Lishma, standing in Lishma, advancing in Lishma, meaning that all of his intentions, all of his desires will only be in the Creator. He cannot do that and then he only has one thing left, as much as possible to just hold on to the Creator and ask Him to not let him go. 

Student: A person actually discovers in his work that he has no forces for nothing? 

M. Laitman: His lowliness.

Student: That's called his lowliness, that he has no power to do anything. That's the truth? 

M. Laitman: Right.

Student: How does the help of the Creator come? 

M. Laitman: From seeing that in no situation he cannot recruit from within himself, muster the strength to make another step forward and another step towards the Creator. And then he doesn't have anything left to do, except to fall down and ask. 

Student: The state of lowliness leads a person to the request? 

M. Laitman: What do you mean from the lowliness to a request? 

Student: Does the state of lowliness lead a person to reach that a person feels he has no forces? Is it coercively taken out of him, this request? 

M. Laitman: Yes, but it's necessarily so a person sees where he is at, where he wants to be, and how he has no strength for it, nothing of himself. 

Student: This awareness that he has no forces, does that lead him to Lishma?

M. Laitman: No, that awareness leads him to nullify towards the Creator, that he's willing to do anything to get the Creator's help. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:50) He concludes this excerpt with “and then he feels his lowliness, how to serve the King is a great, immeasurable pleasure, and without His help he would not agree to it”. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: You see this as an immeasurable pleasure, why doesn't he agree? 

M. Laitman: He has to be above the pleasure, that it’s not the pleasure that will determine what he's going to do, but rather the greatness of the Creator.

Student: That's right but nevertheless, to serve the king is pleasure he can't avoid the fact that it's immeasurable pleasure. He writes here that when you serve the King, it's immeasurable pleasure.

M. Laitman: One has to weigh, to feel, what are the forces that are pushing him forward, inward, and why is he moving. Why is he visiting and choosing whatever he's choosing and only after he chose and made a request, then he received the help. 

Student: What is that help? That he will be able to work without the pleasure? 

M. Laitman: Without what? 

Student: Without the pleasure that he'll be able to work? 

M. Laitman: No, there's no such thing without pleasure. 

Student: Then how can he ask for something that doesn't exist? 

M. Laitman: That pleasure doesn't determine.

Student: It's like there's this inherent clash between them.

M. Laitman: Seemingly contradictory. 

Student: And this is actually that lowliness, maybe, where the pleasure always will attract him, because that's the person, that's his lowliness? 

M. Laitman: No, that's no longer the lowliness. That's not lowliness, because he sees what he has in front of him, what he did, and what he needs to do, what he wishes to achieve, and that he lacks strength. So, when he's turning, he's making a request, and he receives it. 

Student: When he turns to Him and requests, that's already beyond the lowliness?

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:33) Why is serving the Creator a gift and not reward? 

M. Laitman: Serving the King is a gift from above that comes to a person and gives him the possibility to be of service. That's it. That's why he advances in that way.

Student: How can a person come to the feeling that if the Creator doesn't help him, he has nothing on his own behalf? He can't attain it. 

M. Laitman: That's after a lot of time and actions, where you see how weak you are and you go back again and again to the same difficulties, and then one has nothing to do besides cry for help. 

Student: And only then it will be considered a gift, the ability to serve the King?

M. Laitman: Say it again? 

Student: Only with such a necessity that we wanted? 

M. Laitman: Yes. Only when he's certain that without the Creator, nothing can be done. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:11) Until a person receives the help and agrees, what holds him in all those states? What sustains him?

M. Laitman: That he's working against the Creator. Not against, but with.

Student: Does that sustain him in every state?

M. Laitman: Yes. There's no higher state.

Student: Does he receive from the Ten? 

M. Laitman: That doesn't matter that much.

Student: Not important. Well, what's that agreement a person accepts? What is he agreeing to? 

M. Laitman: Agrees to work for the Creator with no conditions.

Student: Exactly. That's the next question. How does he come to a state in which he works unconditionally, without dependency on pleasure, if his entire matter is the desire to receive?

M. Laitman: The Creator each time lets him hold on a little bit more in order to bestow.

Student: He feels a little bit of Arvut from the desire to receive, and then he's drawn to the desire to bestow somewhat?

M. Laitman: Yes. That's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:55) You said to the friend to nullify before the Creator. And the whole sensation was that it's a physical action. What is the active action, not a passive action, of nullifying before the Creator? What is to nullify before the Creator? 

M. Laitman: To nullify before the Creator means to accept Him as the great, complete force, that there's none else besides Him, and to Him I want to belong.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (14:41) Also, this sentence is a little difficult, I was asking about, if so he feels his lowliness, how to serve the King as an immeasurable pleasure, and without His help a person would not agree to it. So, the ability to serve the King is immeasurable pleasure? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Does it come before or after he receives the help? 

M. Laitman: If he doesn't receive help then he is completely sold to “in order to receive”, to the vessels of reception. If he adheres to, “in order to bestow”, only then he opens up to himself an order of work that is against the will to receive. 

Student: When he discovers that serving the King is an immeasurable pleasure, is that already in the vessel of bestowal?

M. Laitman: I'm not so sure. I don't think we should be making these kinds of discernments, what's more and what's less. In the will to receive or in the will to bestow, because, ultimately, you belong to vessels of reception and you're only working in them and all of your measurements are also there. Therefore, that's what we do.

Student: Just in asking a question, he says that serving the King is immeasurable pleasure, and without His help he would not agree to it. 

M. Laitman: Right.

Student: What doesn't the person agree to?

M. Laitman: The person disagrees with working in the vessels of reception and making calculations there. 

Student: And it doesn't matter what's revealed in the vessels of reception, whether it's exaltedness or lowliness, he just wants to work with them.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:42) There are states that the Creator gives, kind of favorably, without there being a deep, from the depth of the heart, request. Let's say, now we have a big convention, you can see how the Creator is favoring it for us, he's giving us possibilities, at least in the past there's this feeling, to me at least, that the Creator is doing us a favor, because, in the end, we have to understand the goal of this, because it gives this sensation, like he writes here, this lowliness, where you're seemingly not worthy of it yet. So, what's the purpose of the Creator to give you sometimes, and without you asking from the depth of your heart?

M. Laitman: You will nevertheless, after all, understand, feel, and discover that the Creator gives you his knowledge, from his attitude to you, and therefore, to accept such a connection with Him in that way will not make you in shame. Commitment is, well, you know, like a little, little child, that doesn't really take mother or father into account. Rather, they give and he receives.

Student: What does a person need to do in order to be worthy of that? 

M. Laitman: To be good kids. 

Student: Which means what?

M. Laitman: Meaning, that you always think about how to be with Him in the same principle, that what I receive from Him is to bestow.

Student: On a simple level the Creator wants the person to always engage in Him, to just always be attentive to Him, and this is what's important to the Creator. 

M. Laitman: The Creator wants to teach us about the nature of bestowal. Therefore, He built everything and orchestrated everything, and we go through these degrees.

Student: Now about the Congress, my feeling on the preparation, we just said that there are groups that's about to come, all of it, I forgot the name of the group, the Croatia, the whole Ten is coming here, all the friends are arriving, and each time we hear this immense exertion that the world team is doing in relating to this so seriously, I truly feel this is a gift that we're receiving in the Convention, we're about to receive. So, specifically about the Convention, what would you recommend, how to relate to this stage until the Convention, so that we will truly be worthy to all these immense efforts that all the friends are doing in the Convention? 

M. Laitman: I recommend bringing this group closer to us as much as possible, hug them, all of them, embrace them together, and together with them give an example for the execution, that we can learn from groups around the world, or a group that we typically don't tremble from, so we should be ready in this manner to welcome all our group. After all they do much harder work, so we'll go, we'll ascend, and we'll receive.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:10) When he turns to the Creator and receives the force to overcome, and he has the force that he receives from the Creator, he can rejoice. I want to ask about the states of weakness on the path. What is a state of weakness? How should we define a weakness? 

M. Laitman: I don't know, it depends on how he discovers that.

Student: A state of weakness is, let's say, when I feel a state of weakness, it's like with more importance, that's what I consider a certain weakness. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do we overcome these states of weakness? 

M. Laitman: In turning to the Creator. I don't have anything to answer. 

Student: Of course, it's correct, it's always correct, but there's something missing here. When there's no importance, there's no way to appeal to the Creator. Meaning, we need to prepare something in advance. That's what I always heard from Rav, that it all depends on the preparation in advance, investing in a pen, etc.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: There's a point here that a certain link is missing that I'm trying to ask about.

M. Laitman: Think. 

Student: Let's say, we're really trying in the Ten to come to a common deficiency, a common request. We talked about this a lot, we were asked about this a lot, there's a certain point there that we can't grasp. We're trying to reach something common, each can bring his own, but until we reach something common already, the lack changes, the personal pain passes, we lose it. It's like..

M. Laitman: Why are you losing it? It's what you always wanted, now when you're close to it, you just have nothing with which to hold on to the gift. The connection between you is what's missing. So here, you have to go with eyes shut, above reason, and only see each and every friend much greater than what I can imagine. But I'm certain that we are in the right preparation, and this entire group is advancing correctly, and I'm sure we'll continue.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:01) Many times in the lesson, a person receives force as he has thoughts of what to deal with during the day. And when the day arrives, everything is forgotten, and it's as if I didn't do anything, but I also haven't reached that lowliness. What is a person missing to truly reach true lowliness? How can you hold on to that? 

M. Laitman: To reach lowliness is not the goal. This isn't the goal. And if we get there and receive such a feeling, then we will know that it's coming from above, from the Creator. Therefore, we only need to see ourselves in adhesion, the near and total adhesion in all that we are bonded with the Creator.

Student: Could we say that lowliness is also a gift from the Creator, that we feel it?

M. Laitman: Lowliness is something on the way, in the middle, on the way to how we get closer and what we receive, but it's not that this is the goal.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:47) Lowliness and gift, is that cause and consequence?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: So, they come together, truly, and the same... 

M. Laitman: They can come together as well as one after the other, and there isn't any law in that regard. 

Student: There's no law? So, can we compare lowliness with recognition of evil? Where a person feels that he...

M. Laitman: I don't think that lowliness equals recognition of evil, because when we come to the revelation of the path, instead of lowliness, we actually receive the opposite, pride and goodness from the Creator. In short, lowliness is a gift. 

Student: Can I scrutinize a little bit more about lowliness compared to the gift? Because if it's a gift, meaning if a person feels it as a gift, then he feels a filling in it, because he feels a certain relation, or the way the Creator is relating to him if I was receiving it.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: How can you feel, on one hand, this relation from the Creator that He gives him, and on the other hand, feel his personal lowliness? How do those two things exist together? If they're not in two different states, if I understood correctly, it exists in two states and also together. So, the situation together of how do I grasp that? 

M. Laitman: This is understood from what's written, “love covers all crimes”, and that one cannot imagine to himself a state where he gets closer and faces the Creator on a higher degree, God forbid. That's impossible. But that's the state that we need to reach. 

Student: If it's possible to mention, they said that Croatia is coming, the whole group, to the big convention, so we also said here, a friend reminded me that New York, too, is all coming. They also announced that they're all coming to the big convention. I believe that there are other groups, so maybe it's worthwhile for us to know, so we can advertise it, it kind of gives a little good envy. So, thank you to the world Kli for all the importance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (32:46) Yes, maybe it's worthwhile to share, we're the preparation for the lesson team, and the convention, all the Tens that are coming as one, we'll be doing the preparations and other things, we'll get to know more and more Tens this week as they come, all of them or most of them, to the Convention, both men and women. L'chaim. 

M. Laitman: Thank you. Excerpt number five. What do we do?

Reader: Excerpt 5, Rabash writes.

5. RABASH, Article No. 39 (1985), "Hear Our Voice"

Reading: (33:22) His purpose in Lo Lishma is to achieve Lishma. He always examines whether he has already taken a step in his work toward arriving at Lishma. When he sees that he has not moved an inch, he regrets it and pretends that he has not even started with the work of the Creator, since his gauge in Torah and Mitzvot is how much he can aim for the Creator. For this reason, when he sees that he cannot even aim the smallest thing for the Creator, he feels as though he hasn’t done a thing in the work of the Creator, and regards himself as a useless tool.

At that time he begins to contemplate his purpose. The days pass and he cannot come out of his state; all he wants is self-love! Worse yet, each day, instead of looking at disruptions in the work as though they are nothing, he sees them as tall mountains; he always sees a great barrier in front of him that he cannot overcome.

Baal HaSulam said about such states that a person advances precisely in these states, called “states of Achoraim [posterior].” However, one is not allowed to see it so he will not regard it as Panim [anterior].

M. Laitman: The Rabash writes in such a way that it's really one thing against another.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:24) It's just like in the previous excerpt, because he says here, “a person advances precisely in these states, called “states of Achoraim [posterior].” Then he writes, but a person cannot see that, otherwise, it will be considered as a face. Now, before we said that even if he receives a gift, he seemingly sees. If he feels that he's receiving a gift, then the opportunity to bestow is taken away from him. We understand from the text that to bestow is in the posterior state, where he doesn't feel the light, and only through the posterior he can bestow, if I understand correctly. And in the previous excerpt, he says that one can feel his lowliness and the gift. So, that's what's unclear.

M. Laitman: All right, other questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:49) We see that before a Congress, there are always situations where people go through probably the best possible states, but the person himself is immersed in that state, and sometimes the Ten can see it from outside, but how do we help each other rejoice in these states, not just not curse them or despair from them, but to rejoice, because they happen especially towards a Congress? 

M. Laitman: You need to see all that's happening to the group in the process it's going through, to all the Tens that are in the group, and this way, advance, flow, go with the current. You have to see that none of your friends will fall along the way. Especially now, towards the Convention, we could lose here and there people that are worthwhile for us to care for, for them to come closer.

Student: We used to say, before a Congress, because we have congresses for many years now, we would say it's not a good time to make decisions right before a Congress. We should let everything go and just delve into the Congress. Because in states of despair, sometimes people decide to leave, to do something, to change something. We used to say, don't make a change, go through the Congress first. Is that a rule, a guideline we should remind ourselves? 

M. Laitman: Of course, that's a good state, where I don't rely upon my state in this pressured state, where everyone is under pressure. But rather, we will continue and delay it for the next round.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:42) I heard that on the path we always have to weigh the forces that take me forward. And only after that, when I weigh these forces, I can ask the Creator, this is a prayer that gives me progress and a truer prayer. What does it mean to weigh the forces that are taking me forward? 

M. Laitman: According to what a person feels. Of course, it's not correct, and certainly it's not the truth. But in order for him to be able to hold on a little more to the forces, calculations with the Creator.

Student: What does it mean for us to advance in the work and so forth? What does it mean to always move forward? I want to examine myself every day with the friends, and I want to know that we are truly advancing forward. How do I examine that?

M. Laitman: That is all according to your feeling.

Student: My feeling needs to be that everything is towards the Creator, through the intention, or there is something beyond that, beyond the intention?

M. Laitman: No. Besides intention, there isn't. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:30) This last excerpt we read is like this track, this journey, that a person goes through, and there is Lishma, Lo Lishma, Torah and Mitzvot [commandments], intention, the face, the posterior, all of that. How does a person position himself correctly to identify all of these, I don't know how to call it, all of these definitions, inside himself, and see that he is facing the goal? How to always focus myself?

M. Laitman: He just needs to pray that he is truly expecting help from the Creator. So, he will open for Him, his eyes and heart and this is how his advancements will take place.

Student: How to not go wrong in this prayer, because behind it there is a whole mountain of desires. How do you focus the prayer correctly through the connection between us?

M. Laitman: I think it's in your hands. You shall feel this.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:08) I heard, you say that actually before Congress there could be a state where we lose friends. And what causes you to lose friends? What happens before such a state, a person? 

M. Laitman: Before a Convention there are those who feel uplifted. There are those who feel the opposite, that what they considered as having an ascent of sorts, then now it's different, it's the opposite. And this is what causes them this period of, I don't know, nervousness or stress. What I think, to say to such people is that the main thing is not to leave the calm. I want to be in that state of calmness, together with the friends.

Student: What's a correct feeling before Congress? How should one feel? What should he expect towards such a status? 

M. Laitman: He needs to know that he's going towards connection together with the whole world Kli, and that this entire meeting that they're doing is in order to connect them.

Student: So, in relation to the entrance to Lishma, which we are now working on, what gives us a state like Congress? Meaning, does the congress bring us into Lishma, prepares us for Lishma?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's exactly to Lishma.

Student: What does it do? What does the congress do to us?

M. Laitman: It formats us, it brings us closer, it erases the differences, all the forms that can bother us. 

Student: In our time, can a person enter Lishma without such a status called “Congress”, without these milestones we call “congresses”?

M. Laitman: I don't know. It's all in the hands of above. That's what I can say. 

Student: So, what's in man's hands if everything about the entrance is in the Creator's hands? 

M. Laitman: What's in a person's hands? What's in one's hands is to subjugate himself, and not accept any force from any side. Other than…

Question (Turkiye 7): (49:17) Sometimes, there are many obstacles, problems that prevent us from participating or coming to congresses like suddenly we get all kinds of jobs or other things that physically prevent us. How do you relate to such disturbances?

M. Laitman: We need to help as much as possible, and understand that all these things, as they awaken, are only so we will be able to give forces, and to bring the friends closer to the meeting.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (50:09) What is this period of nervousness that a person goes through, in this spiritual state, process?

M. Laitman: A state of nerves, of nervousness? 

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: I have not seen it, originally.

Student: No, of course, I heard from you that you said that actually, before Congress, we should be sensitive to not lose friends. Why? Because it's a state that could accumulate a lot of stress, and I want to understand why, why do people go through stress and anxiousness and pressure? Why, what does a person go through?

M. Laitman: When people have stress between them, and they want to scrutinize what's between them, they can make steps, they can make not serious steps. And that's why we need to do, like they put a damper on everything. It's like a shock absorber that will dampen it. That's what we need. And these things will pass, and maybe, they won't give us some big internal leaps, but they will enter into our mechanism, our usual or regular mechanism.

Student: The person that feels this kind of tension and nerves, how can he block that? It sounds like it's involuntary, it just erupts.

M. Laitman: He moves from the feeling to the mind, and works that way. 

Student: And how can friends support such a friend in such a state? 

M. Laitman: Through example. There's nothing more to say. Through the example.

Student: Why should we lose friends before Congress? It seems like it's a time where the goal seems closer, there's a lot of impression. Why? 

M. Laitman: Because everything becomes sharper. And these states…

Student: I can ask another question. How can we measure if a person advances, if he doesn't see any change, even discovers that he's moving away?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How can a person measure his progress?

M. Laitman: He can't. He can't. On the contrary, to the extent in which he's certain that he's not advancing, let him live with it.

Student: So, what is man's feedback? How does he know - I did a good action, I should keep going that way. Or not - I'm not working in the right place in the right way, I should act differently, change direction. I have no measurement, I don't know what I'm doing.

M. Laitman: The most important is patience. At the end of the day, most important is patience.

Question (Latin 1): (54:48) What kind of actions of bestowal the Creator wants from us? 

M. Laitman: For us to want to reach His place. That's what the Creator wants.

Question (Darom 1): (55:06) How do we know that we've reached the prayer from the bottom of the heart? 

M. Laitman: To the extent in which we expect this prayer and truly be in the depth of the hearts. That's where we will be.

Question (Woman Rehovot 1): (55:26) What does the Creator need to feel from a person to be ready to help him? 

M. Laitman: Devotion, soul devotion. 

Question (Merkaz 1): (55:45) What happens one stage before entering Lishma? 

M. Laitman: He is willing to do everything in order to cause the Creator a state in which He will feel all the created beings that want to incorporate in Him.

Question (Woman Turkiye 8): (56:41) How can one overcome the state where he always sees a big hurdle in front of him?

M. Laitman: This hurdle is something that a person depicts to himself. There's no true hurdle. There's no hurdle, there's no barrier, there's nothing.

Question (Woman 25): (57:08) What is the right way to use the feeling of lack of success to advance and not despair? 

M. Laitman: That is so that we will overcome these states, so that we will discover our truth.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:46) About these emotional states a person goes through on the path, it can also be expressed in his family. How can the women do support? Each woman supports her man in going through these states and not being dragged into these states, maybe even with her husband, do the women have such a role? 

M. Laitman: Of course, there is both the women and the men, each has a place and a role. But I have nothing else I can say. We need to hear the lessons. Also these, and also the conventions we talked about earlier. We talked a lot about this, and a person will hear.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (59:07) What does it mean to reach the place of the Creator, that we need to want that?

M. Laitman: That we want to be in His place. That is, whatever He receives, we want to receive. What He gives, we want to give. Each of us, until the Lord your God, must be and support all the friends. So, we will see. 

Question (Kyiv 1): (01:00:16) In a state where a friend goes through disturbances or feels lack of strength, what does it mean that the Creator helps him? Where it says, me, I'm not a messenger, I have to personally discover that it's the Creator helping me. What is the help, and what is this discovery? 

M. Laitman: We will see this on ourselves. We will learn from our deeds. These are things that talk here, the speech is not going to help us. Soon, you will feel it, and it will be the explanation. That's how we will learn.

Question (Woman Turkiye 7): (01:01:21) When I experience intensive states in life, I feel my yearning for the Creator only grows. The question is, how to keep closeness to the Creator in any state we go through? 

M. Laitman: We need to try. We need to arrange in us the right states. For dissemination. I am now thinking about something else, that's why I have confusion. Let's say, try it this way. Try to read each and every state, and solve it in a manner in which the Creator wants to explain to us, these states. 

Question (Almaty): (01:03:10) The Congress, the great Congress that is imminent, from Kazakhstan, where about 25 friends are going to come, we're all prepared, and we want to feel that we're all one great family. How do we communicate this yearning, so that you all feel it, and we could be good students and make you content?

M. Laitman: I understand you. Really, although you look like this altogether, four women and two guys, what is a group? So, I want to say, that you will see how much you will grow in the near times, and then we will talk. Then we will talk.

Question (Woman PT 38): (01:04:52) If each one in the Ten is in a demand to the Creator, that the Creator will take him out of his nature, and that he can just push the friends and get nothing from that, how do we meet in the Ten in a common prayer? How do we come to the prayer that is of the Ten and not individual? 

M. Laitman: They meet in the prayer which the Creator does upon them. The summary altogether of how they're incorporated and raise their desires, and how they, from these desires, as they connect, raise themselves higher and higher, that's the Creator's work. That is the Creator's work.

Question (Woman Heb 1): (01:06:28) There are times when many questions and contradictions awaken in me, and there's this kind of labor trying to understand or feel, and there are times where everything is very clear to me, not that I'm able to do what I need to do, but I wanted to ask what state is preferable on the path? The state of inner questions or where everything is clear? 

M. Laitman: Ask your heart. Don't ask anyone, accept your heart.
