Daily Lesson (Afternoon) March 8, 2024

Reader: Hello everyone. We are reading from the writing of Baal HaSulam. I Heard Shamati article 205, Wisdom Cries Out in the Streets. You can find the article in the Study Materials tab in the Arvut system.

M. Laitman: Yes, let's read these articles, they're not simple. They're not very long, but they're very deep. There's plenty to say about, what to talk about, and how to work with, and we will try. We'll try to understand them somewhat. At least, what we read today, we may understand in a little bit of time. Please.

Reading Article: (01:00) “Wisdom cries out in the streets, she utters…”

M. Laitman: (03:39) Well, let us hear it again, at least one more time.

Reading Article Again: “Wisdom cries out in the streets, she utters…”

M. Laitman:(04:07) That’s how it is written in the Torah. What does Baal HaSulam say about this?

Reading Continues: “This means that when one is awarded…”

M. Laitman: (06:31) Yes, well this is an article that we need to learn several times and think about it a lot until it becomes clear. But let's talk nevertheless a little and then we'll leave it and give it some time to settle in, in us, and then we'll come back to it again. Let's hear first what you want to ask.

Question: Women Lithuania. (07:20) Dear teacher, to want adhesion with the Creator, this is because we become partners with Him, and this way we help Him to complete the creation, and the whole reality is changing?

M. Laitman: The Creator does not need our help. But we need to precisely go the way we feel and learn from the Creator. As our teachers teach us that the main thing is to learn from the Creator, His actions. His actions are bestowal, love, and connection.

Question Turkiye 2: (08:21) Dear Rav, what is the role of men and women in getting us to this Dvekut? What is the role of men and women in getting us to this connection?

M. Laitman: To give us a bit of a support and strength where we will perform actions above reason which the Torah talks about what we need to do. And thus we, in the connection between us, will come closer and closer to the Creator until we start feeling it and receiving it within us.

Question Almaty 1: (09:30) I don't understand this expression anymore. What does it mean to go above reason? Why is that heartless when he turns to the reason?

M. Laitman: Against his heart? Against the heart and against the mind.

Question Women MAK: (10:17) I would like to know how to find a vessel of bestowal to love him more, to make him more happy. Is it correct to ask to fulfill this vessel with above reason?

M. Laitman: Of course, that's exactly what we need to do.

Question Women Moscow 4: (10:44) In the last paragraph it is written that the adhesion is everything you see within reason, or it's all above reason? We got a bit confused here. Can you please help us to understand what it is written?

M. Laitman: It really seems like it's confusing. We'll read it again. No, I'm reading the last paragraph. I'll read the last paragraph. This means that he believes that servitude is in the true reality. Servitude is when we do something that is not by our decision, by our mind. Rather, what's commanded, that's what we do. Then, he does the opposite. Where all his work obligates his reason. Hence, the adhesion is what obligates his servitude. Meaning, first he went to servitude against himself. And then, when he comes to servitude, he realizes that the adhesion, Dvekut impels him to servitude. But he believes that everything he sees within reason is all above reason. That all he sees within reason, in a clear way, within his feelings, and that everything is above reason. And this was not so before, before he reached above reason, when everything that was in the form of above reason is within reason. Meaning that an inversion took place here. We can't understand this yet. It's a very difficult article for us still. But, anyway for us to come close to this matter we need to read these articles as well. Although there are not many. What's written is that all we see whoever is above is below. Meaning, that everything we see in this world that is down is actually up in the spiritual world. This is how we also are able to say then that we come to the oppositeness. Let's read it again. And then we'll start asking. Yes. Let's read again.

Reading Article Again: (14:25) “Wisdom cries out in the street…”

M. Laitman: Well, let's try to answer a few more questions.

Question MAK 27: (17:20) We read this article and it's complicated. It looks like we need to acknowledge the servitude.

M. Laitman: We need to think a little more about this.

Question Tbilisi: (17:49) We also scrutinized this article before the lesson. In the article, it says as long as we did not reveal the Creator we need to go above reason. But when we reveal Him, when He will be revealed, we still need to stay although it's reason we need to go above reason. Is that the concealment that we acquire from the Creator that is called Masah?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: This is what our friend wanted to scrutinize before this lesson.

Question MAK 39: (08:37) Hello everyone, dear teacher. You bless the women in our society. Well, I took down the question since Tbilisi asked that question, but Baal HaSulam wanted to give us, in this article, that when we feel with a full heart the Creator and we are in a degree that we still need to realize that we don't really know the Creator, but we are longing for Him.

M. Laitman: In essence that's correct. Thank you very much.

Question Women ITAL (19:50) Hello dear friends. The question is, when we desire with all ourselves to be ruled by the Holy Shechina, what happens? How does this influence our work above the reason?

M. Laitman: We want to be completely in all the states no matter what adhered to the Creator. This is called to be connected with the Shechina. That's it. Meaning to do with all our thoughts, to think with all our desires, want in all our actions perform these actions such that the Creator would like to perform this, and we do it. Meaning to truly be a vessel in the hands of the Creator.

Question English 1: (21:29) Can we say that the article talks about a change, a changed heart basically?

M. Laitman: On the changing of perception, yes. As we come to the Dvekut with the Creator we replace our reason for what was before we see the extent to which it's not correct and we receive a different attitude towards all of reality.

Question Kyiv: (22:24) How can we be the right vessel to serve the Creator?

M. Laitman: Completely nullify yourself before the Creator and continue this way all along the way.

Student: How can I nullify myself in front of the Creator?

M. Laitman: We have reason and heart or mind and heart. We need to adhere the mind and the heart to the Creator, so that what comes from the Creator will fill the mind and the heart. Then we will observe all that the Creator wants.

Student: But it's not simple just to agree with everything that has happened, there's something else.

M. Laitman: There are many exercises we have to do one after the other.

Student: Let's say today we want to make this exercise in the Ten. Which will be the best thing to focus on?

M. Laitman: By you wanting to do all the actions, think all the thoughts, and decide what to do, you do so only out of the connection with the Creator. If you want the Creator to fill you mind and heart and for you to observe all his actions. That's called being a servant to the Creator.

Questions Women Heb 2: (24:21) Can I say in order to understand better the article, that within reason the servitude is for the real to receive and above reason is the servitude to the Creator? Can you please help me understand this matter?

M. Laitman Yes, that can help.

Question PT 22: (24:50) Can we say that the moment a man receives the point in the heart he becomes a fool which means that he gives up everything he knows in this corporeality in order to change it with different understandings?

M. Laitman: No, a person can feel the point in the heart even if he hasn't even begun any spiritual work.

Student: I understand, but on the contrary when a person becomes a fool, a fool is something he acquires from understanding, it's something that in his will becomes a fool.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: When he changes ways.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question Hadera 1: (26:00) Is that a state of acquiring the Creator within reason? Which it said that he knew his Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Can it be that it says about a person who is in a will to receive that works against him but wants to acquire the will to bestow and he works above reason? But the moment the Creator got him closer he acquired vessels above reason, and he is getting very excited from giving. Then he needs to walk above reason in order to use his will to receive in order to bestow. Is that what it says?

M. Laitman: It’s actually talking about everything, not just that. Not just that.

Student: Thank you.

M. Laitman Alright, all that remain are the women. Let's go.

Question Women Spain: (27:19) Two questions if it's okay. Can I ask?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Student: Bestow love and connection. Is it something that happens at once or there is an order one after the other?

M. Laitman: Bestow love and connection. From bestowal, we come to connection. From the connection, we come to love.

Student: Second question. Can we check the intention or is the Creator checking the intention?

M. Laitman: The person needs to check the intention and to ask the Creator to correct it. That's the work.

Question Women MAK 41: Two questions from a friend in the Ten. Does corporeal love, sorry does mother love in our world help us in the connection in the Ten?

M. Laitman: Repeat, please. What love?

Student: Mom's love. A mother's love in the corporeal world can help us in the connection in the Ten? I don't think so. Doesn't seem so.

Student: Thank you. Second question. How can we connect in a prayer for the kids?

M. Laitman: Pray. Ask the Creator. Doesn't matter how. He hears the prayer of all mouths.

Question Women Kavkaz 1: (29:59) This is how we understand. Now we exert in order to serve the Creator, to nullify in front of Him, and then when a man with adhesion then the completion of the system cancels the man. What is the better work in front of the Creator?

M. Laitman: You can't scrutinize everything like that. It's according to the goal.

Student: The faith above reason can we call it the place where the Creator is revealed in the next degree?

M. Laitman: You could say it like that, although it's not always that way.

Question Women MAK 23: (31:04) I have two questions. First question. What is the complete adhesion in the Ten? How to reach it?

M. Laitman: We talk all the time. That's our goal. The main most inclusive one.

Student: Second question. What is reason? Real reason?

M. Laitman: Real reason is the reason that comes from the light that clothes our corrected qualities.

Question: Women Moscow 5: (31:49) If we can be more precise you said that everything we do is from the connection with the Creator. How can we understand that? Do we put Him in front of us or He's behind us? How can we feel it?

M. Laitman: What's the difference from front, from back, from right, from left, from above, from down? It doesn't matter as long as we're together.

Student: When we connect the Ten then it turns out that we feel that He is with us. And in this state, we progress forward.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question Women Piter: (32:38) How can we check that all the actions that we are doing is coming from the Creator?

M. Laitman: If you observe these actions in the connection with your friends and then you want to turn to the Creator with that then you have an opportunity, a possibility to carry out this action with the Creator. But first, there needs to be a connection with the friends.

Student: How can we do these actions from the connection?

M. Laitman: You do it in the connection with the Ten.

Question Women MAK 98: (33:32) Why does the servitude of the will to receive bring us to a dead end, and to become the Creator's slave gives us freedom?

M. Laitman: That's His desire.

Question Women Turkiye 6: (33:59) Where is the first place where the adhesion to the Creator takes place? In the mind or in the heart? Or is it when the head accepts the superiority of the heart? In the heart.

M. Laitman: In the heart. We first feel it in the heart.

Question Women Turkiye 8: (34:30) Are the broad places mentioned in the article places where there are crowds of people?

M. Laitman: No, no, no. We should not enter this. We'll talk about it later. Not now, for now. We will talk about it later. This is not for us at the moment.

Question Women MAK 26: (35:36) Between the state of full and the state of heartless, what is the connection between them?

M. Laitman: Heartless is a fool of the heart. That’s what I would say.

Student: What does it mean, fool in the heart?

M. Laitman: One who lacks qualities of feeling the Creator, His actions, coming closer to Him, or distancing from Him.

Student: The heartless, this is the lack of efficiency?

M. Laitman: Yes, heartless means lacking desire, and we need to take it out of the heart. We have to work on that.

Student: This means a fool can be that he is not a fool in the mind, and he knows what to do, but he doesn't want it in his heart?

M. Laitman: Yes, but eventually the heart is conquered, we work and work on ourselves, and then feel that the heart changes.

Question Woman MAK 56: (37:18) From the article, when we are in a descent, we are in reason, and then we rise above reason. In that descent, when we correct above reason enters the reason, and this is how can we say it?

M. Laitman: No, but we will go through that soon, don't jump forward.

Question Women Turkiye 7: (37:52) It is written that everything he sees is within reason. Just before, everything that was above reason is within reason, so the question is, can you explain the stage when I start to see that everything, I see in reason is above reason?

M. Laitman: This is something we can't yet see. We will have some time that we need to give forth our exertion, and then that will give us at least to do actions above reason, and then we will also see the difference between above reason, within reason, and below reason. So that will be soon.

Question Women, ITA: (38:56) Thank you so much, Rav. Everything happens above reason, and we have a heart and a hunger for wisdom. We encounter a force that works with us. From there, we become aware of reality.

M. Laitman Yes. Yes. We start becoming aware gradually. These are degrees. Kind of like this, more and more being aware of reality.

Student: Heart and hunger for wisdom is under his work, the work of the Creator. So, we learn, and we give revelation.

M. Laitman: I don't understand either. Can you repeat, please?

Student: Okay, sorry. Our heart and our hunger for wisdom, from there, is the work of the Creator. So, we learn with him, and we give a revelation of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question Women Kyiv 7: (41:06) Why do we have locks on our hearts and minds? How can we step out of the prison that each of us sits in and we can't bestow?

M. Laitman: Gradually, together, you'll succeed. Continue and ask more from the Creator, and you will succeed.

Student: What is the thing that helps to get rid of the locks?

M. Laitman: Together, when you try to help one another, that's the main help.

Question Women Almaty: (42:03) Dear Rav, in the article, we can say that the wisdom is the light of wisdom. When we connect in the prayer does the Creator give us the correct intention? Then we can receive in the right way the wisdom and then we can reveal the reality as a complete reality.

M. Laitman: Yes, that's correct.

Question Woman MAK 25: (42:36) Dear Rav, tell us please, if something at the time of connection is revealed to you within reason, do we need to raise it above reason? How to do this correctly?

M. Laitman: If something is revealed to you within reason then take that connection between you and try to rise above reason, all of you together, and then you'll succeed. Try a little to here, a little to there.

Student: This exertion, is that an emotional exertion within a connection?

M. Laitman: Continue.

Question Women MAK 98: (43:45) When I read the article, it seemed to me that a fool is a man who is happy with the wrapping paper of the lolly, but he doesn't taste the lolly, and the smarter one is the one who can taste it.

M. Laitman: I don't know, maybe I don’t even want to get into that.

Question Women MAK 51: (44:20) Faith above reason, is that an action or a state?

M. Laitman: Faith above reason is a state from which we can do actions. In faith above reason.

Student: In this state, do we need to reach when it's permanently?

M. Laitman: It can always work that way.

Question MAK 24: (44:59) We come to faith above reason through the reason. When we reach the faith, we understand that the faith is within us. There is an impression that the reason is what brought us to faith, that already existed in us. It's just been revealed by us, through us. So, what should we do when you feel that you are already in faith, either way, you need the reason in order to strengthen the faith. It turns out that faith is higher than the reason.

M. Laitman: If you are in a state in which you can perform actions against your reason, against your desire, your understanding, because it's demanded, then you can possibly call it faith above reason. That's how you need to act.

Student: There is complexity. We come closer to the Creator, and it becomes reason. And there is to work above reason.

M. Laitman: Work above it, yes.

Student: But if you know that the Creator is here and He loves us, it's already within reason. So, what should we do in order to receive the desire, the permanent desire?

M. Laitman: Rise against it.

Question Women Lithuania: (47:17) A friend is asking; we study the practical matters in the group. Can we say that later on we will have the same practical work with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Of course, there will be, yes.

Question Women MAK 97: (48:00) Please tell us. There is a feeling of one whole in the Ten. My question is, can we feel adhesion with the Creator?

M. Laitman: When you adhere, you'll feel it.

Question Women Latin: (48:21) Good morning, Rav, Good morning, friends. I wanted to scrutinize why working within reason is heartless. That in the end, it gets me to adhere to the Creator.

M. Laitman: No, it's not another way to get to the Creator.

Question PT 32: (48:56) We scrutinized together the article, who is that fool that he is talking about? On one hand, we know that anyone that is here is walking after the point in the heart, the point in the heart is awakened, and then there is a revelation with the friends that we are walking above reason. Does this talk about us?

M. Laitman: A fool is one who does not have enough strength in the heart. He is called a fool.

Question Women Spain: (49:37) Is there a possibility of bestowing, its correction, is it a private correction, or the whole Ten?

M. Laitman: It can be both ways.

Question Women MAK 41: (50:12) Heartless, is it when the person does not have a real desire to come to the love of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Another question, when we connect in the Ten, and we come to scrutinize it feels like we scrutinize something in the reason, what does it mean?

M. Laitman: Against your conclusions, rise against your conclusions.

Student: Which means we are canceling…?

M. Laitman: Well, you think it's right? Yes.

Question Women Piter: (51:04) What does it mean to receive the revelation of the Shechina above reason? Is that to understand that the greatness of the Creator is always greater than the vessel?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What else goes in this description?

M. Laitman: The whole world.

Question KabU 14: (51:33) What do you mean to say that there is a greater desire to come back to that place where you are without reason? What do we need to think about?

M. Laitman: That you want to not distance yourself from the Creator for even a moment but rather be adhered to Him always.

Question Women Vancouver: (52:15) We say that the soul of a man will teach him, that it starts when we go above reason and it's a new stage?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And faith above reason does not have the soul will teach the man?

M. Laitman: No, it's already in faith above reason.

Question Women Eng 1: (52:59) Hello, Rav, thank you very much for taking this question. It is a follow-up question if I may. You have just stated that a fool is one who doesn't have enough strength in the heart. Is that he’s a fool because of forgetting to ask for strength from the Creator?

M. Laitman: No, it could be. It could be.

Question Women Heb 2: (51:55) There is the orthodox person that he's already born into it, and it doesn't matter what he's doing, it all belongs to None Else Besides Him, which feels to me that that's the lowest state. But the highest state is when you work, and with each part of the work you have to connect it to None Else Besides Him. A non-orthodox person is always in a state that he forgets. Is there a point to the non-orthodox person that he will actually start to remember that each action is coming from None Else Besides Him, or is it only for the orthodox person?

M. Laitman: It has nothing to do with religious or secular.

Question Women PT 33: (55:20) Today, March 8th, they say L’chaim to the women in beautiful words, I would like to say thank you so much. You are a man that the only one in this humanity who understands us, and you have so much patience and so much love to answer our questions. I don't have words. Thank you so, so much.

M. Laitman: Wonderful. Thank you very much, and we'll continue together.
