Part 1: Baal HaSulam. Inheritance of the Land

Reader: Hello, we are starting a series of lectures of lessons and articles on the topics of Passover. In this coming month, we are going to start with Baal HaSulam's article. The article is “The Inheritance of the Land”. The study material is also found in Sviva Tova and the Arvut system. And you can send live questions through our sites as well. As we mentioned, we are going to start the topic of Passover.

M. Laitman Introduction: Already in the first line, it gives us a condition of which state of Passover. It's called “The Inheritance of the Land”, the return to the land.

M. Laitman Reading: (01:04) Israel will not return to their land until they are all in one bundle. Passover is the state between each and every one in Israel. Next, what is written, it says, our sages said, “Israel will not be redeemed until they are all in one bundle.” This is the condition required of Israel.

2) We must understand how Israel's unity pertains to redemption. 

3) First, we should consider the matter of “By what will I know that I will inherit it? For your descendants will be strangers”, etc., “and afterward, they will come out with great substance.” And it's not clear how it answers Abraham's question. What one has to do with the other.

4) We should understand the whole matter of this creation, in which man suffers so, what is it for? Could He not delight His creations without all of this? Without all the big trouble and suffering and conditions that Israel must meet and go through. 

5) It is written in the books that the souls cannot receive the good reward for which He created the world and the souls, if they do not have a Kli [vessel] ready to receive. And the only way one can obtain that vessel is through labor and toil to observe the commandments. Through the pressure and the wars that one fights with the evil inclination. And the numerous preventions and troubles. The affliction and labor in Torah and Mitzvot [commandments] provide a Kli [vessel] for the soul so it may be fit to receive all the delight and pleasure for which He created all creations. 

What other conditions?

6) Now we can understand the words of Ben He He in the Mishnah, Avot, which “According to the sorrow, so is the reward.” And this means that the reward is measured by the amount of sorrow. This is perplexing, for how is one's sorrow related to one's reward? 

7) With the above said, we can thoroughly understand that all the sorrow and labor that have been prepared in the world are to provide the vessel to receive the good reward through labor and Torah and commandments, thus naturally the greater one's sorrow in Torah and commandments, the greater is one's vessel. And naturally he can receive a greater reward. 

8) Now we can understand the Creator's answer to the question of Abraham the patriarch, “By what will I know?” Because Abraham's question was because he saw in his spirit of holiness the excessively great reward that Israel is destined to receive by inheriting the land. Since observing the commandments depends entirely on the land, this is why Abraham wondered “How will I know that I will inherit it?” That is how will I know that the children of Israel will be able, how will I know that the children of Israel will be able to receive such a great reward and such a great excessiveness, as from where would they have vessels so big as to receive this wondrous thing? And the Creator told him about this, “Your descendants will be strangers, and they will be enslaved and tormented 400 years,” for then they will have great labor in Torah and commandments. This is when he understood that in this way they will certainly obtain the great vessels of reception, and the reply was completely satisfactory. 

9) It follows from our words that inheriting the land requires much preparation, since the Segula [merit] or the remedy of Torah and commandments depend entirely on this, as through it one is rewarded with all the abundance and benefit that the Creator has contemplated with regard to all the souls of Israel before He created them. This is also why Abraham the patriarch was perplexed and did not understand from where they would take such great vessels as to be rewarded with the holiness of the land. Finally the Creator told him that laboring in Torah and commandments in the exile in Egypt will provide them with these great vessels and they will be fit for the holy land. 

10) This is perplexing: It is one thing with regard to those who engage in Torah, but what about those who engage in worldly matters, who are not at all prepared to engage in Torah? How will they be rewarded, these vessels? 

11) The answer is that this is why they said in the above mentioned commentary that Israel are not redeemed before they are all in one bundle. It is so because all of Israel are indeed one body, where each and every organ has its unique role. For example, the head contemplates intellect and reason, the hands work and provide nourishment for the head, while the head itself is exempted from working and does not need to work, since the hands are quite sufficient. Likewise, the hands do not need to calculate how to work, because the head is quite enough for him. Likewise, the hands do not need to think or contemplate on how to work, since the head is completely enough for him.

12) If Israel become one bundle, like one body, where the workers—who are the hands of the body—provide for the head, the labor and sorrow of those who engage in Torah and work will contemplate for the workers... and this clarifies the commentary [Israel are not redeemed until they are all] in one bundle, and “a redeemer has come to Zion.”  That's the entire article. 

M. Laitman: Questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:44) If Abraham already asked the question, how will we know that we will inherit? We know the answer. He received an answer. So what does each person need to ask?

M. Laitman: Each one needs to come to a state where it's not clear to him what needs to happen. And in this way, he's asking, he's questioning.

Student: He asks the same question?

M. Laitman: He's asking for himself. 

Student: The same question?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And the answer will be the same answer?

M. Laitman: The answer will be the same answer, but each one will hear the answer that is aimed at him. So it's as if everything is starting anew. It's all fresh. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:40) He begins and completes with us needing to be as one bundle. And each has a role in this body, in this bundle. And my question is, how does each of us know what his role is in this body? How does each of us know what his role is, so that this body will be able to function in wholeness, in perfection? 

M. Laitman: We belong to one body, to one group, whose purpose is to reach adhesion in the Creator. And on the way to that, each and every one receives certain deviation from others, it's like, you see, babies, there's no great difference between them. A little bit feeling, but when they grow up, they grow up differently from one another. This is the same here, we're all, we all need to reach the work of the Creator. As if on one path, since what is there between us? What differences are there between us on the one hand? And on the other hand, when we delve deeper into this, we see how much the path of life is different for each and every one. And that's what he's trying to answer here. Why are we so different on the one hand, and on the other hand, so connected to one another? And how, in this way, can we help one another? 

Student: Earlier you said that we have to come every day with that question to ourselves. What is the question we have to come every day anew? What do we need to ask ourselves, actually? 

M. Laitman: We need to ask every day, in what way can I make this action to bring the Creator closer to me, or to bring myself closer to Him? 

Student: And this nearing that I'm asking myself about every day, how is it supposed to be expressed on my path?

M. Laitman: It should annul itself as I get closer to the state of the Creator. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): () I have friends in the Ten. How, through the coming of the Creator, through the connection between us in the Ten, how do I know every day that I know that I'm coming closer to the Creator? We're all coming closer to the Creator.

M. Laitman: It's like there's more to do. We can go deeper there. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:29) You said that Israel is a desire to influence man. this is not in the recording and some translation is missing. I will verify tomorrow.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does it mean, this division? How will the work take place in practice? Maybe the question is this, what is the body in the desire to bestow? 

M. Laitman: The body? The corporeal body and the spiritual body are not the same. The corporeal body is the body that I can see, that gives me the feeling of the organs, gives me volume, strength. And the spiritual body is something else, it's desires, intentions. And what I wish to carry out in my life is for my body - my spiritual and corporeal bodies, will function together and connect together. And both of them will be in the Creator that Good That Does Good.

Student: Is Israel, which is the whole of what he relates to here, if it's divided to a head and a body, then it's clear to us what the head's work is, that it's intention, that it's connection with the Creator, bestowal. But what's not clear is what is desire, meaning vessels of Israel. After all, Israel to begin with are desires to bestow. So what are vessels of desire to bestow? How can such a thing even possibly exist? 

M. Laitman: From the beginning, all of creation is the desire to receive and the desire to bestow. There's a part that strives to appear in his will to receive, and that's how he approaches the feeling of the Creator, and it's called Yishael, Israel. And there's a part that is not also according to his desire, is not approaching this, is not attracted to this. And that is why it doesn't have a desire, such a desire to reach adhesion with the Creator, and he remains this way.

Student: What will the body's work be, those parts that don't have that desire, how will they integrate with…

M. Laitman: This is the correction already that you're asking, how our body, that has both the evil inclination and the good inclination, how will it correct itself to be all good? That's the question, right or not? 

Student: It's new for me now to hear that the body also has the good inclination and also the bad inclination. 

M. Laitman: Yes, the body of Israel. The body is desire, desire can be activated by bestowal or by reception, and then he has to check himself and correct himself to always be in the action of bestowal.

Student: The same system called Israel, which is clear to us, it's not the corporeal Israel like you said, it's all Bnei Baruch who wants to be in bestowal, to live in bestowal. That system, out of its work, does it give the desire to all of the world to adhere to the Creator or to adhere to them? 

M. Laitman: Ultimately, yes. By correcting the portion of Israel, you know, of reality, everyone is drawn there. There are definitely scrutinies, wars, disagreements, many things. We also feel it, but ultimately, everyone has to reach a state where they want to adhere to the Creator. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:17) On item seven he writes, with the above said, we can thoroughly understand that all the sorrow and labor that has been prepared in the world are to provide the vessel to receive the good reward through labor in Torah and Mitzvot. Thus, naturally, the greater one's sorrow in Torah and Mitzvot, the greater is one's Kli. Naturally, and he can receive a greater reward. The question is, what makes the sorrow become a vessel to receive pleasure? 

M. Laitman: To the extent a person feels sorrow, because he's not feeling pleasure, he interprets pleasure to be closeness to the Creator, and by that he tries to get closer to the Creator. To such an extent that the entire direction of his correction is aimed at that. 

Student: How do we practically do this, because in sorrow we have a deficiency, we don't manage to fill it, so naturally a person feels sorrow all the time, it accompanies us. The question is, how do we take the feeling of sorrow and make the correct work happen with it? 

M. Laitman: How do we take a feeling of sorrow? We take the entire body, move it to the good correction, that's by scrutinizing, where does this sorrow come from, what is it pushing us, what does it want me to do, can I carry out what it wants or not, and if not, how do I understand that what's opposite of the sorrow comes to me from the feeling of the good who does good, how can I come to it, what answer can I give to my own desires, my desires, my intentions, my thoughts about this question, and then if I'm in the right environment, then I try to connect with them, and together with them, to do these actions that will move me toward the correction, that I will want to correct it, and it's not like I'm pulling the force of bestowal from above, rather I'm pulling the desire for the force of bestowal from the front, from everyone, as much as possible, and then with the force of bestowal, that I acquired, I'm already closer to the Creator.

Student: If I understand you correctly, you say we have a feeling of sorrow, we need to scrutinize where it comes from, why it comes, to do all those questions, and not take it in the direction of sorrow, but to work with it as a work tool, and I also understood that we need to do this work in the Ten, continue to work with the friends, that will give us the correct observation of how, the correct outlook to the sorrow. Now the question is, he writes here, it is clear that whoever's sorrow is greater in Torah and Mitzvot, has a greater Kli, naturally, is willing to receive a greater reward. So this means that when we feel the sorrow, the greater it is, as he writes here, we need to see in this an opportunity, a great opportunity for something in the future, because today we work the opposite. Today, if someone feels great sorrow, no matter what, in corporeality it doesn't matter what, he sees it as something not good, something negative. And here he says that the greater it is, there's a work, a place for work here and a great opportunity. Is that how we have to see it? 

M. Laitman: We need to see it not as something great or small, but rather, to what extent I'm moving closer to the Creator or farther away from Him.

Student: In the Ten, we many times see states where a person goes through a very big state of sorrow. Now, from the side, you can understand that it's a state that can rise from him and develop, but that friend who's in that situation of sorrow doesn't always feel it and doesn't always see the opportunity. How can a Ten help a friend who's in a state of sorrow to see a great opportunity for a forward leap in this?

M. Laitman: We can understand that from our lives. If the evil inclination is revealed in him, he doesn't see the good life, he can't judge the state that comes, that is going through him to the scale of merit, then we need to see, we need to see the Creator guiding him this way, directing him.

Student: And how should the Ten operate in this state? It sees a friend in a state of sorrow, how can they help? 

M. Laitman: Help the friend rise above.

Student: In talking, in anything? 

M. Laitman: Everything.

Student: And he also needs to feel it, if they help him and incorporate with him in this, can it also be a way to work with this sorrow as a growth point, like we talked about earlier? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And that's why it comes to a person, the possibility to advance through a friend, sometimes?

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (32:53) He writes here about the inheritance of the land, what is that desire of inheritance? What is this inheritance?

M. Laitman: We inherit the desire to bestow, that belongs to the Creator, and through our actions we can draw this force onto us, and see how it clothes in our desires.

Student: To draw this force, I just heard now that it's not we're drawing it from above, we're drawing this desire from the friends, actually. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does it mean that I draw the desire to bestow from the friends, and not from above?

M. Laitman: We want to draw the desires to bestow from the friends, as an example, but as a result of that, we come to a prayer, and we pray that in addition to this desire, we wish to acquire the forces to want to reach it, to realize the desire correctly, and then we come to a desire to bestow. He wants to reach a desire to bestow, and if a great big group, let's say like the one who's sitting here right now, close to 200 people, or more, it's capable of thinking together. That we do want to be, we wish to belong to the Creator, and we connect in that same desire to attain the Creator, and that's what determines how we appear to the Creator, connected and yearning to Him, to work for Him. 

Student: He writes that in order to reach redemption, we have to enter the exile, the exile of Egypt that he's describing. 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: What do we need this exile along the way for?

M. Laitman: So we would see our true state. So in our true state, we are disconnected from the Creator, we're disconnected from one another, from the power of connection and bestow. And in order to approach redemption, which is adhesion, in the Creator we need to reach adhesion between us, meaning that all those actions of connection, we have to perform between us, and from between us, between us we will reveal the desire, reveal the desire which will only pull us toward our success, toward connection. And the connection will begin to feel the Creator more, and there will be a connection between us and the Creator. And then we will be called Israel. 

Student: What preparation needs to be done towards this entering the exile? 

M. Laitman: The main thing we need in order to go through the exile, in order to reach adhesion with the Creator.

Student: He writes that according to the sorrow, he merits the reward. If I understand correctly, also according to the exile, the state of exile, we will merit redemption. Do these states go together? 

M. Laitman: Although they contradict one another, they're far away from each other, opposite. They're opposites, but each state is actually very characteristic of a vessel that is searching and revealing the Creator.

Student: I'm like searching for a way to circumvent the sufferings, to pass the exile.

M. Laitman: To circumvent the sufferings means, in what form am I looking for redemption so it would please me and the Creator at the same time?

Student: How is that possible for redemption to be something desirable? What vessel would that be? 

M. Laitman: A vessel of bestowal.

Student: Is there an ability to reach such a state without the exile? 

M. Laitman: No. Without exile, no. We have to go through the state of exile, then we reach a state of redemption. 

Student: How does a person prepare himself to enter harsh states that the exile will bring him darkness? 

M. Laitman: Oh, it's not quite dark, because he understands that he has to go through this darkness to reach the light.

Student: And then what? Those two states are simultaneous? The sorrow is the vessel for the reward?

M. Laitman: No. Sorrow is sorrow, sorrow from not being close the the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:42) The way to adhesion with the Creator is clear to us. The method is very clear. There's friends, there's your desire, and you have to work with it. I'm asking about the initial yearning for the Creator, from which you are willing to do everything to reach Him, where you're willing to sacrifice yourself, your desire. I'm talking about that initial longing for the Creator for which I want to bring everything. Where does that come from?

M. Laitman: From the Creator.

Student: What happens there, where do I do something? I could bring two million people here that want a good life and they won't do anything for it. There's no connection to adhesion with the Creator there. They don't even have a desire for that. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do you check yourself each time, this inclination to adhere, to incorporate with the Upper One? Not with our work here, that's clear.

M. Laitman: I don't understand you. Our work with the Upper One should be clear. The Creator gives us certain conditions - for you to be as one body, as one body, as one man and one heart. And then gradually through slow nearing, through these states called exile, you come to a state where you begin to come closer to one another and you can feel this state called “exile”, I'm sorry, called “redemption”. And instead of redemption, you feel one desire, which connects you together. And you are holding on to it, you don't want to leave it. 

Student: And all this attainment of the Creator later in the work between us is thanks to the connection between us, with the means of connection between us. Okay, that's the result of our work together. Is there any point in engaging in your inclination towards the Creator before that? Okay, the root of His soul. 

M. Laitman: That's the point of desire each one has from the Creator. And you feel this tendency. 

Student: And you just let go of that or relate to it?

M. Laitman: I don't know, relate to it or not relate to it. This is according to the choices that you make, according to what's important to you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:21) I want to ask about the incorporation of the vessels. It says, Israel will not be redeemed until they are all in one bundle. Israel is one body. During the redemption, or even before that, every organ has a different kind of work, but the vessels, during redemption, they all feel the same feeling?

M. Laitman: More or less. 

Student: There's no such thing as vessels of the head and vessels of the body during the redemption.

M. Laitman: During redemption, everything belongs to the vessels of the body, which are all, all the vessels connect to this body and build it this way. 

Student: And the organ, that's called, let's say, Rosh [head] has to think, distinguishes between the organ, like the body that thinks for the whole body, and organs like hands that work and do certain work. So, what the vessels of the head, one who is considered as a head, doesn't have vessels? What does it feel during the redemption? 

M. Laitman: The vessels of the head begin to be revealed, not immediately with the body, but rather, first the body emerges, the coarseness of root, one, even somewhat two, which operate in an instinctive manner on the vessels, and only on the degrees of coarseness three and four, specifically, we start to see the desire to receive of the head.

Student: The stage of redemption, when they are redeemed, is when they all become one body and begin to reveal new vessels? Everyone is becoming one body for the very first time, that's the meaning of redemption?

M. Laitman: Redemption is considered that out of great labor, great effort, in quantities of bestowal, they receive accordingly light from above, which we draw.

Student: This is only the part of the first vessels that are revealed.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And then after this action, there is a continuation of accumulating greater vessels.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Here it says that the inheritance of the land, meaning these final big vessels, are acquired during the first exit from Egypt. So, they should have big vessels or they are acquired later? 

M. Laitman: They are acquired later.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (48:42) It writes in item 12, that Israel becomes one bundle, like one body, where the workers, who are the hands of the body, provide for the head. The labor and sorrow of those who engage in Torah and work will contemplate for the workers. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: I feel like this Passover is unique. What's the uniqueness of this Passover specifically? 

M. Laitman: Look, we are in a very special state. I would say that such a serious form before Pesach, before Passover, I don't remember that it ever was. Therefore, it is worthwhile for us to concentrate even more effort and connect and be drawn even more, to be as one force. To incorporate in one Creator, so He will help us emerge from, in order to receive.

Student: What's the connection in our time between personal redemption and general redemption?

M. Laitman: Personal redemption appears to us as the redemption of one vessel, one desire, one state. And the redemption of the general vessel is the collection of the vessels. 

Student: Because I feel there's more compatibility between what's happening outside of our vessel and what we're going through. This era has become more united, more condensed. So, I'm asking if there's a connection between what we're going through in this Passover, what we're going through and the general redemption.

M. Laitman: I don't understand. 

Student: I feel like what we're going through our personal process, our personal spiritual process, I don't know if it influences what's on the outside, or what's on the outside influences what is happening with us. But everything is becoming one motion. 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: What's the connection between our personal redemption and the general redemption? Specifically now. 

M. Laitman: We are in processes that are already close to the final correction. And we need to try to identify these changes in us towards that. That's it. 

Student: Will we be helped by this, somehow? With our intentions.

M. Laitman: Of course we help one another and all together. This state itself operates on all of us.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:02) We heard that the inheritance of the land is the inheritance of the will to bestow from the Creator. We also heard that man has to draw the desire to bestow or the force of bestow from the friends. What does it mean? What does it mean to draw, to attract, or draw or pull the desire to bestow from the friends? 

M. Laitman: To draw the force of bestow from the friends does not mean that I'm taking something from them and they'll be lacking it now. But rather, by us looking at one another, working together, transferring to one another, like it or not, our desires. Especially if we do it with the intention, intentionally, then certainly, if so, we grow each time. And it's very important the extent in which a person relates to his friends, as much as he wants to give them and receive from them. And that's what's important to us.

Student: In each one of the friends in the World Kli and around the world, there's a certain demand for the will to bestow.

M. Laitman: Yes, both men and women.

Student: And it's a certain small demand.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And a person can have this demand. He has to collect it from the friends. As Baal HaSulam talks about collecting all the organs. And so when they say Israel has become one bundle, it means to unite this demand into a single mutual demand.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: And that's the state he's talking about here, that we're creating?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:17) At the beginning of the lesson, you said that a person has to check himself daily. Is he bringing the Creator closer to him, or is he getting closer to the Creator? And he's starting the article from the point where Israel is redeemed, only when they become one bundle. So what's the connection between becoming one bundle and man's ability to bring the Creator closer to him? 

M. Laitman: That all gives a result in the prayer to the Creator. 

Student: A person, if redemption comes from becoming one bundle, or from bringing the Creator closer to us? 

M. Laitman: In fact, that's where we come closer to Him. 

Student: We come closer to Him, okay. So, what does it mean to be a single bundle, one bundle?

M. Laitman: To be with the same goal, with the same inclination, the same desire, in mutual help, in mutual connection, where we want to be connected, and thus to reach, to adhere to Him.

Student: When a person checks himself, is he getting closer to the Creator, or is the Creator getting closer to him? What should he pay attention to? 

M. Laitman: The extent to which he doesn't lose his friends, and to the extent in which he, when he adheres to the Creator, then he comes with his whole society. He's like the representative who draws them, and that's how it is with each and every one of us.

Student: So the examination is to check if you came closer. What are the signs for coming closer to the Creator? How can you detect them, identify them?

M. Laitman: That a person needs to discover.

Student: So this work of becoming one bundle, how do you, how do we become more and more like one bundle? What makes us into one bundle with each passing day? 

M. Laitman: According to love your friend as yourself.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:27) I want to understand, if I'm a will to receive for myself, on the one hand I have to feel sorrow that I'm distant from the Creator, I'm not getting closer to Him. How can I be in happiness, and for this happiness to be real, not in the will to receive? How does that work? How is it logical? 

M. Laitman: It's how to be in deficiency and joy together.

Student: But when I'm only the will to receive, I have no bestowal in me, I'm still walking on two feet, how can that be?

M. Laitman: It's like you come to, I don't know, maybe to us, or to other places maybe, where you come to some place where it's being spread out, divided out, let's say, food in the military or, there's other such places where they ration off things. And then you come with an empty vessel, and you want to receive filling within it. That's it. That is what you, that's what you aim towards. And also, understand that to the extent in which you receive, and what filling, how you will feel the food that you received, or the light that you received, then it all depends on you. It depends on your desire.

Student: I didn't understand. 

M. Laitman: Well, so what did you want? 

Student: I want to be happy, I want to be in sorrow that I'm not far from the Creator. How can I be happy about it? I'm in the work to receive. 

M. Laitman: Why do you need to be happy? 

Student: Because that's what it says, if I need to be happy on the one hand, on the other hand, I need to... 

M. Laitman: No, no, no, no, no, no. You can't rejoice from being distant from the Creator. You need to be sorry for that, and to be in joy that you're on the path to adhere to Him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:01:26) He gives the example of the body and the hands. The head has to think, has to provide the thinking for the hands. An example of the work of the hands - mutual help, mutual responsibility. Every healthy body works this way, we know. Each organ cares about the body, and that's why the body is healthy, and doesn't care for itself. We are sick because each one of us cares for himself, and then the body is sick, and cancer is the best example for that. Every person should ask himself, if he's doing his role, there's a special role for each part in Israel, in general, even practically speaking?

M. Laitman: It is desirable to the extent to which a person incorporates in the whole of Israel, whereas his prayer will be a prayer for all of Israel, his actions, for the actions of all of Israel, and for him to incorporate from this form.

Student: It's clear that each one should pray for the entire body, and be busy doing that, and that's where he is aimed. But I'm asking, down to the corporeal level, each one has a special role where he has to contribute to the general body, even with his hands and feet, including everything, or it's not such an important matter?

M. Laitman: It's important to assign to what extent each appreciates this.

Student: A person who is in sorrow many times, is that a sign that he hasn't found his role, his place? Is that possible? 

M. Laitman: It's possible. 

Student: The Ten, or the group, is it important to help each one find his role, from that point of view? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Or is it the person's job to do it? 

M. Laitman: No, it's important for a person to exert, so that his special role will be revealed there.

Student: And the Ten has to work on that, or each one is responsible for it?

M. Laitman: No, the Ten needs to engage in this, and every person in the Ten needs to show the others the extent in which he cares for the Ten, who cares for everyone.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:37) You said that we are in a very special state, in a very serious form. What is a serious form? 

M. Laitman: The main reason is that we are all in the scrutiny of the place of adhesion between us in a common way. And these are truly the next final steps that we are on our path, on the way.

Student: And I heard this has to do with this time before Passover, in the process. 

M. Laitman: Also before Passover, of course it's connected to that as well. 

Student: How do we take advantage of this serious time to advance? 

M. Laitman: I have nothing more to say other than what I have said. It all depends on the depth of a person's concern for his implementation, for what the Creator wants to see him. And that's it. When you rise, until you emerge from all the morning actions, until we come here, we are incorporated in the lesson, after the lesson, how we go home, all those things need to be truly as chapters in the order that you go through.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:07:07) It's repeating, it's coming up over and over, how do we scrutinize? Now we just started, we put like little markers. How do we do a scrutiny in the Ten, a personal scrutiny? 

M. Laitman: The Ten is a difficult thing, but in the individual scrutiny of a person, it's easier. It's more approachable. And then you can depict to yourself that you are together as a Ten of the force of the Creator and your whole purpose is to come to a feeling, to a balance of reality with the Creator. And more than that, you don't want a thing. Just to be balanced, connected with the friends and bringing the Creator into it as well together with the friends, meaning it's the Ten, it's the body of the Ten and with the Creator. It's called the internal force in the Ten and you want to be together with them. And that is the goal in life. It's the purpose of your life.

Student: The steps that I take, even the first step is how to assist the adhesion you described?

M. Laitman: Let's say, think about it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:09:30) I want to scrutinize the topic of one bundle, during the lesson. 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: You also mentioned that there are the chapters in our lives, when we come to the lesson, each one comes from a different place, a different state, and gradually here we begin to work. What is the correct way, the correct thing to do in the lesson, so you'll be able to come out of it feeling as one bundle? 

M. Laitman: That you want to reveal one Creator, and all the friends to be as one bundle, or each depicts it to himself that way. And that's what you expect, day after day, to a greater connection. To a greater connection. That's it.

Student: Now, during the lesson, friends express various deficiencies through questions. And the friend who's asking is also incorporated in his Ten, and his Ten is incorporated in the other Tens. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Now, what is the recommendation during the questions? Each one is bringing a different kind of lack. Is it better to incorporate in the other's lack, and through them, to continue the scrutinies and the questions, or each one according to the deficiency that he feels, that's what he should bring to the table?

M. Laitman: It's very important that each will know how to interpret the deficiency, his deficiency, in his subscription, and to bring it to the table of the Ten. And it's very important that all the Tens also come to the one Ten in which they're all incorporated.

Student: During the lesson, we're not talking in silence. We're working internally. How is it expressed now? Let's say, there's a friend who's asking. He comes with a deficiency or a lack. He brings it up. It's not his deficiency. It's the Ten's deficiency, because it's incorporated in everyone. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How the rest of the friends here in the hall or around the world should work with it? Are they supposed to incorporate in it? And then they have a deficiency that they combine together. The question is, how to work correctly between us in order to reach one bundle?

M. Laitman: You are correct. It's true, that's how we need to connect.

Student: I'll drill down to a greater, deeper resolution: the lesson started, I am awaken with a deficiency, a friend is asking questions, raising a deficiency. What's better - hold on to my deficiency, or is it better to incorporate with his deficiency? And then come with that. How do you do it more precisely? 

M. Laitman: That you need to answer. Try to adhere with a friend according to what you discover from him. And when you're together, you're now longing for adhesion with the Creator. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:13:53) It's in the last item: “If Israel becomes one bundle, like one body, where the workers, who are the hands of the body, provide for the head, then the labor and sorrow of those who engage in Torah and work will compensate for the workers.” What's the job of those who work in Torah and work in this bundle? 

M. Laitman: Then they can grow and reach a state in which they will truly be the head for all the forces in the body, and this is until we will all be as one body, it's clear.

Student: It's not clear why one part is working for another.

M. Laitman: But the legs can't do something instead of the hands or instead of the head. It's clear that each and every part has its own duty. Even though along with that, when it works, it also connects to that other part. It also connects to that other part.

Student: The labor and sorrow. Those that work will complement the workers.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, it turns out that there is a part in the system, in the whole body, that is in sorrow and in labor for others.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: The others are not in sorrow, in agony?

M. Laitman: Yes, but relatively. 

Student: So why does one part suffer for another part, that it will enjoy? 

M. Laitman: Because in the end they belong to one body. 

Student: And where is the balance between them? Where is the sorrow of one felt in the other? Where is the joy of one felt in the other? 

M. Laitman: In the end of correction.

Student: And this is called one bundle, that each one has a part?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Within Israel, within the Rosh [head], what is the Rosh? What is the Rosh? 

M. Laitman: That is directed more correctly, directs man more correctly. To be connected in a better way to everyone, and to the heads, the Rosh of everyone.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:17:06) Is one bundle in relation to the deficiency, to the quality, to the right quantity? 

M. Laitman: We can't count it like that. We can't, but a group.

Student: The question is, when Abraham asks, how will I know that I will inherit it? How do I know that my children will have the quality and the right deficiency? So one bundle expresses the deficiency in the desirable quantity and quality? And I want to ask, in continuation to what a friend asked, when a person comes to the lesson and thinks that he has a deficiency, should he identify the point where the initial deficiency changes into a point of connection? How to build the right deficiency during the lesson? 

M. Laitman: It is built by the upper light. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:18:38) In the talk we heard that you had with the friends, they asked you about the implementation, and also today you talked about the implementation on the personal level, that as soon as we get up in the morning, we should be looking for how to realize this connection. There's something really unique about this Passover that we didn't talk about before. How do you see our work also as a Kli, as one vessel, with respect to that realization? Should we do specific operations, the whole Kli of Bnei Baruch, some sort of a daily summary, weekly summary? Because when you talked to the friends, you said we have to delve into the articles, and then what's important is how we use it in the work. And the work, you said, is inner work, not something we do externally. So, as a Kli, is there something more we should do, or maybe at least as a Ten?

M. Laitman: I didn't hear a question. 

Student: The question is with respect to the realization. You spoke on the personal level, that each of us, has to check what he received during the lesson, when he gets up in the morning, with what efficiency he comes to the lesson, how he goes back home, to detail it. Should we do the same chapters as a Ten, as a one-world Kli of Bnei Baruch, maybe? Or maybe, for now, work on the personal level, and then see how we move on from there? 

M. Laitman: Well, both. There are such questions that only the group can solve, and then he, in his actions, he's as in the group, and there are such that he sees that he's working with it alone. There are all kinds. 

Question (Woman Turkiye 7): (01:21:28) It sometimes seems like redemption is no less challenging or difficult than exile. So how not to give up on the hope for redemption? 

M. Laitman: How? 

Student: How not to give up on the hope for redemption? How to continue to aspire for it?

M. Laitman: Depict our state as a very bad state, that we're coming closer to redemption, but we still weren't rewarded with it, to anything of it. So maybe, in this way, we can be rewarded with a deficiency for redemption.

Question (Kyiv 1): (01:22:49) You said that when you get up, you become incorporated in a lesson, and then after the lesson, it should be like chapters in a book that you go through. What is this book? How should we write this book? 

M. Laitman: We truly need to write a book inside us of our actions. What else can I say? It's the book of intentions of a person, in which way he comes closer to the Creator. And attains unity with Him.

Question (Turkiye 7): (01:24:12) What questions or what search can lead us to the spiritual desires of good and doing good? Underneath all the sorrow and the suffering, how can I build in my heart, these discernments above all the sorrow and the suffering and all the circumstances that are happening?

M. Laitman: I always need to check as much as the deficiencies that are being revealed in my vessel, as much as they are important. And from that, I reach all their details and their explanations.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:25:34) You said before that the friends are the body of the Ten, and the Creator is the inner force of the Ten, and that you want to be together with them, and that's your life's purpose. I want to ask how to feel the inner force of the Creator that is in the Ten, and what it means to be together with them. 

M. Laitman: Come closer to the Ten in a way that you can enter it. When you're in them, try to devote yourself to that Ten. Then you'll feel as much as their force is drawing you, and also diluting you. 

Student: Diluting me? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: How do I convey to them the power of bestowal? 

M. Laitman: You'll understand it. You'll understand it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:27:06) I heard before that the Ten is something difficult, but a personal scrutiny of a person is easier and more approachable. What's the emphasis here regarding the personal scrutiny? 

M. Laitman: Personal scrutiny, it's difficult for a person to scrutinize who he is, in which way he is, what duty he's in, in incorporating in the Ten, on one hand. But on the other hand, we need to understand that specifically this incorporation is the most important. It gives us the essence of the connection between us, and a connection with the Creator.
