Part 3:

Baal HaSulam. The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]. #26

Item #26 (00:21) “Bear in mind that these matters are evident to every educated person…”

Reading Item #27 (05:41) “However, by all that we have explained from the beginning of the essay until now,…”

1. S. (11:47) Can we say or give another interpretation of Goy Kadosh, who are they exactly?

R. Goy Kadosh, holy nation, those who enter the text find more meanings there.

S. Because I understood that anyone who tries to adhere to the Creator?

R. Yes.

2. S. (12:27) What does it mean that 'sewing the field for feeding his fellow person"?

R. Plainly sow, you know what it is to harvest right? And will you do afterwards to feed people so if he does this work in this field and then prepares it is considered that she sustains them, and this is out of loving his neighbor as himself.

S. Also, today every farmer reaps the field to feed the fellow man?

R. No it's and enrich his bank account.

S. But he gives food to the others.

R. That is a different story, so what?

S. So a farmer who wants to be in love your friend?

R. What is his intention? if you give him money without work he will take it. So?

S. What does it mean to reap the field in order to feed the others with the intention ?

R. That this is the only reason he is working in the field.

S. His bank account he also accepts something there, no?

R. I don't know the bank account you would like to relinquish it if he has one.

S. What does it mean that they are annulling corporal possessions for themselves?

R. That they don't want anything, they deserve that comes to them, they don't want anything that comes to them directly or in some other ways in order to fill up their corporeal vessels.

3. S. (14:56) About the nation of priests and the holy nation, what is expected today from the group of people called Israel? To represent towards the whole world and that will complete that term. What example?

R. This group called Israel has to set an example to the whole world how to behave so as to be for everyone to be the people of the lord.

S. The world they are expecting from the group to be the people of the Creator?

R. Let's say that they do. Yes.

S. Why don't they express it clearly?

R. I don't think they even think about it, the Creator doesn't give them this desire. First of all because we Israel don't give them such an example we are not ready and we're not going to give it.

S. If I would like to imagine such an example like you're saying about the group that have to be the people the Creator?

R. Well it depends, you have to begin with education, general education of the world and bring to it so they understand that only this can be their goal otherwise we are getting, we are approaching the end of the road, and everyone disappears in the future that is not good for us. For us meaning for everyone, for all the people in the world but it all depends on Israel.

S. What should be the center of the life of that group? What do they have to engage in all day? What has to keep them busy?

R. He writes about it in Mantan Torah, the giving of the Torah, in The Arvut, Mutual Guarantee and all kinds of short and long articles. We have no choice, we have to be connected and in the meantime we're seeing the opposite, this is what we need to work on. I have no choice either in a short and good way or in the long and very bad way, but we will certainly get there but in the meantime we see that we are taking search detours along the way that we're not gaining anything by that, neither quantity nor quality.

4. S. (18:25) He writes that the nation of priests means all of you from small to big will be as priests. What is from the small to big?

R. Connected and drawn only to the work of the Creator.

S. How can small ones be in this? What does it mean small one between priests?

R. Well I can't explain to you, will see it we will also discover what it is to be a priests. I don't think that right now we can understand it. To prepare the public, all of the public, that everyone will work for the sake of others.

S. He continues that it will be like priests and there will be no corporeal possession, position because the Lord is there, and all the nation will be organized so that they all be directed to the Creator.

R. Yes.

S. It's society that everyone is priests? Each and every one or are they organized in such a way that let's say they're priests and the one that are?

R. No no it is probably that we are all priests.

5. S. (20:36) He writes that to love your friend as yourself is more important than to love the Lord your God. How can we understand that?

R. First of all, it's the first degree without stepping on it. We can't think about the second degree love the Lord your God. We have to reach it and think only about that and see this is our goal.

S. Even if we can't feel love the Lord your god?

R. Yes, yes. Love the Lord your God is the next degree but without loving others you don't understand with me some of the Creator. We imagine today that , oh the Creator? Yes of course but others, no, but in truth it is the opposite.

S. Even if we reach, love your friend as yourself?

R. Only after we attain love your friend as yourself do we reach love the Lord your God.

S. That will be according to the extent of your friend as yourself?

R. Yes.

6. S. (22: 02) We can say from the text that Goy Kadosh, the holy nation is the most spiritual degree we can reach?

R. What? Goy Kadosh is a very high degree. The whole nation of uniting together reaching the degree of sanctity and Kadosh, that means the Creator. Meaning achieves adhesion with the Creator.

S. Could we say that it's to receive in order to bestow?

R. Of course it's receiving in order to bestow because it's the final degree.

S. That is the final goal?

R. Yes.

S. Then the final reward?

R. The final reward is adhesion.

7. S. (23:18) What is the nation of priests?

R. The nation of priests it is when all of us in this society are on the level of the priest not wanted anything for ourselves but only for others.

S. It means that they work for the others?

R. Yes.

S. You said that we need to bring old people close to understanding to that meaning of given to others.

R. Giving to others to care for everyone.

8. S. (21:24) How can a person check if he's keeping the Covenant of the Creator is telling them if you kept my Covenant without going through this twisting turns that the nation of Israel is taking?

R. I didn't understand what you want?

S. It's written that the Creator says that if you keep my covenant means. What is this Covenant? He doesn't elaborate on what that covenant means?

R. It is a connection between all the created beings and the Creator.

S. How can a person check that he's keeping the covenant or deviating from it?

R. According to his life, according to his reaction because our whole life is a reaction of the Creator to us.

S. What is the way to respond? How do we show what response is keeping the covenant and what is running away from it?

R. Love your friend as yourself certainly keeps the covenant and the opposite is the opposite.

9. S. (25:54) The priests don't have the desire of the Creator and the land is the Creator's desire?

R. Yes

S. What are we doing here on the land? We hold on to this land so tightly, but we don't have the contingency of inhabiting the land.

R. You're asking about us?

S. We are going to have the corporeal end, or it doesn't matter?

R. There will not be a corporal land.

S. What is happening about this confusion with this country?

R. The confusion will be settled. You will have no confusion in the end, your will be in order.

S. Now I'm here in this land because somehow I learned as a child this is where I belong. The Jews belong to this space now. I know more and more what is a jew. What is this space? What is this space, but the Creator's desire is. How do we inhabit this land? It's not just entitlement, but it is…

R. Acquiring the land means acquiring the love of others.

S. Sometimes for a moment I love others just sometimes a bit but how to take that bit and give it to the whole nation?

R. I don't know. I don't know.

S. Even with my example that I'm so low, I just want to throw up my hands, but I can't just cry all day, I have to do something actively to say look I'm doing I'm doing and it's not working then the Creator will step in and do able to his miracles. But it seems like a miracle in the first place for me to do something, to make an actual action?

R. I am happy you have such complaints about your situation but there's nothing for me to do other than to continue to teach as long as they can. What does it say in Baal HaSulam? Everything will be okay; the Creator is above everything.
