Daily Morning Lesson: February 16, 2026

Part 2: Lesson on the topic of "Preparation for convention"

Reader: Friends, today we won't study TES. Instead of that, we'll connect to a new talk with the Rav from this week. The name of the talk is "The Creator is Always Willing to Give Us Spirituality." It's from February 14, 2026. After the conversation, we'll summarize in a workshop.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (00:39) Rav, we went through a lot of Congresses, and we weren't able to connect. Now we have a Congress in a few days. What are we going to do so it will work this time, not to miss out on the opportunity? I don't want to sit next year again to say we had an opportunity. No, I want to sit to do it now.

M. Laitman: But we advanced. I feel that we are advancing in the connection between us. We don't have, as it seemed before, that we're completely lacking connection. No, there is no such thing.

Student: No. But to pass the barrier, to be with attainment, that's what we're lacking.

M. Laitman: No. Not to pass the Machsom.

Student: When is it going to happen?

M. Laitman: I don't know. Don't ask me.

Student: I'm not asking. I'm saying in the workshop. That's the purpose. That's what we want.

M. Laitman: The purpose we want is to be connected in a way that no one will be left with the question, "Am I not connected?" That's how it is.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:14) Is the barrier something we're asking for? When are we going to pass the barrier?

M. Laitman: What stops us from connecting? 

Student: That's the barrier?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So I don't, I shouldn't come with a demand, "I want to pass the Machsom," that's what's disturbing me to connect.

M. Laitman: No.

Student: So to demand? 

M. Laitman: Yes, that too.

Student: Because maybe it's a gift from above. Why am I dictating something to the Creator? Now I want spirituality, now I'll do what I can do, and the Creator will give me spirituality when it's right for the system.

M. Laitman: The Creator is ready to give us all spirituality, that we will all pass the barrier. 

Student: He is ready, on His behalf, He is always ready. Are we ready for it? Are we prepared for it? Are we worthy of it?  

M. Laitman: It's the same question, except more directed. 

Student: Are Bnei Baruch worthy of passing the barrier today?

M. Laitman: More. 

Student: More? What can we do? There's a Congress in a few days, a very spiritual intensity, great light for three days. What is the last preparation that we could still do to truly take another step ahead, that breakthrough?

M. Laitman: I think that we have to feel that each one is willing to support the other's success.

Student: So, in what prayer should somebody come to the Congress, to have more forces to support the friends?

M. Laitman: I think that in the Congress, each and every one has to support in receiving from the whole Congress, they receive from it some strength of spirit. And that's why he comes, and that's why he contributes, and he wants that to stay in him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:21) What can you tell those who already feel despaired? Another congress… another congress?

M. Laitman: No, I don't have anything to say to them.

Student: But still, you have experience.

M. Laitman: I think that to those who feel that, they don't have the preparation. That they should understand.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:58) What's more correct: to come to the Congress with an open heart, "I want to search for examples to absorb everything," or "I'm coming to the Congress, no matter what I feel, I'm giving the others inspiration"? I'm putting in my sesame. 

M. Laitman: But what impression do you give, what inspiration do you give if you... 

Student: There's a difference if I give inspiration, if I appear there, I say nice words even though I don't feel anything, I do duties, I hug everybody, I smile, I do everything to serve them. And what I feel, I don't care. They'll let me feel, they will or not. I just open the heart and search for — you see, either absorbing or working outward. What's more correct, or maybe you need both? How do you come to the Congress? You come in order to give to everybody, or to take inspiration from everybody? 

M. Laitman: To receive inspiration and participate with everyone.

Student: So, we need both. 

M. Laitman: One will not work without the other.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:27) Can a teacher tell a student that “soon you're going to pass the barrier, within a few days, within a few weeks, this Congress it is going to happen." Can we say that?

M. Laitman: No, in such a way, to point at that directly, that's not worthwhile. Because, in the eyes of the student, he cannot see through the eyes of the student what the student is certain about. But still, nevertheless, I am certain that we're all prepared for it, and we'll receive it. 

Student: So, not in a personal way to a student, but in the general group, the teacher can...

M. Laitman: No, no, kind of to those, like that. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:46) What he is asking is if we can give all the students and the friends from the World Kli, to give them hope, that very soon we're going to pass the barrier, soon we'll reach spirituality.

M. Laitman: How does he do that? 

Student: In order to awaken them, to give hope, motivation, enthusiasm, or are you not allowed to do that? If you're not confident it's really going to happen. 

M. Laitman: I think it's not forbidden, but you should be cautious to not spill the hope. 

Student: No, let's say that if they're not ready, and you're promising something that later on they could relate to.

M. Laitman: How do they know if they're prepared or not? 

Student: They don't. The teacher knows. The question is how can the teacher use the knowledge he knows, let's say he knows they're not ready. Can he say, guys, you are ready, in order to encourage them? 

M. Laitman: I think that in the general order, this group is prepared. It is prepared for actual progress.

Student: This group, who is this group? Bnei Baruch?

M. Laitman: The group in general at the Congress, which you’ll see.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:40) What is the root for the structure? There's our Ten, which is in a group called Petach Tikva. Petach Tikva is in the World Kli. This structure is everywhere. There's a Czech group, that are in Europe and in the World Kli, and so on, and so on. It's not even the Czech group; there are a few Tens in the Czech Republic that are in the World Kli. And more. There are three levels, and each one has a role, as much as I understand. Like in our body: there's a cell, there's an organ, and there's a body. So, I'm asking if it's right that in our Ten, we are building the vessel, in the closest Ten. I get examples, I can annul, I can bestow, I'm in a daily contact. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That's the work, to build a vessel, to reveal the Creator. You can't work with the whole World Kli, with the Creator in general. But every so often, we meet as the Petach Tikva group. Because if I understand correctly, the role of the Petach Tikva group is not to be like islands. The Ten needs a framework. There are people, by the way, that go from one Ten to another. So it's good that there are a few Tens. If it doesn't work out with that Ten, so he goes to a different Ten. Or a positive example, that the general group, let's say Petach Tikva, we sustain this building. So, our Ten can come now here and sit if we were alone. So we wouldn't have that opportunity. So there's a general support, and there's a general Bnei Baruch that gives more intensity that now we're gathering together. So why do we get inspiration? That if you sit with thousands of people, these people are very different, different languages, and each one from his own angle tells you about the Creator, gives you his example. So I'm asking if that's right, that there's work with the Ten, there's work with the group that is there with the Ten, there's work with the whole World Kli?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's how it is.

Student: Is that right?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Because I have to explain it at the Congress.

M. Laitman: You're going to have to explain? Okay.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:07) What's the spiritual root for this?

M. Laitman: The general connection.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:14) Why are there three levels? Why not four, or five, or eight, or eighteen? I don't know. 

M. Laitman: You don't have more. There's no more. Altogether, what is facing each and every one is to be connected with his Ten, and inside the Ten to be connected with his group, and to be connected from within the group and from within the Ten, to be connected to the World Kli. 

Student: And the whole world, right? Through World Kli, to the whole world.

M. Laitman: No, the whole world, no. You're pointing to a certain structure. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (14:20) What can a Ten, let's say we're a Ten, what can we get in the Congress from all the other Tens, from all the gatherings around us? Suddenly, there's thousands. We sit here, and thousands are now around us, Tens. What can we get from there that isn't in us?

M. Laitman: We can receive from everyone a push, an urge, how to say it correctly? That's it.

Student: And how does it come to us? From the force of the...?

M. Laitman: It comes to us from the general force of all the groups, that based on how much we invested in them, so we want that to strengthen us.

Student: And how can a Ten enter the Congress? Not individuals, how can a Ten enter the Congress in order to get such a push, such an impulse from everybody? What condition has to be in the Ten so they come prepared for the Congress?

M. Laitman: A Ten has to be, in its tendency, be connected inside of a framework.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:03) Where is the area in the structure of the Ten, World Kli — Ten, group, World Kli — where is the area where a person lives in? Let's say Europe is built of a lot of Tens that are part of a lot of countries. Do you relate to their area or no? Or the division is in three, and that's how it ends?

M. Laitman: I don't think that there's a place for that.

Student: When the World Kli comes here, what do you think is lacking to them that we can give? What is the World Kli coming here for, and they're constantly watching us through Zooms and translations?

M. Laitman: To receive an upliftment. To receive an upliftment.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:07) Rabash writes that all the deeds that are given to us to do is only to attain the intention to bestow. And how can you do that? Because you can't coerce the heart and the desire. And this is what Baal HaSulam said, that the Creator created him "to do," meaning the Creator created a person to do, meaning what He created. And you have to interpret, "created," that creation is called existence from absence, and it's known that the intention was on the will to receive, “to do" belongs to the created being, that they have to do with the intention to bestow. Meaning that everything that created beings can do is only to have the ability to aim in order to bestow. That's called "that the Creator created to do," that this doing belongs to the created beings. What innovation can you get from this excerpt? I know these things, I agree, I know them. What new can I take from this? 

M. Laitman: That we need to do what? 

Student: He says what do we need to do. So let's say I read this excerpt, I know it, I know, I read this excerpt a lot of times, I know we need to raise the intention to bestow on every deed. When we say that, there's a depth here. Where do I go into the depth? I understand it, I know. What is the depth here? 

M. Laitman: The depth, I don't know, if I attain the depth. 

Student: Is there a depth here? In a sentence, let's say.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: There is. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, it's clear laws, we hear them every day, it's like telling me you have to breathe, you have to eat. I know, it's clear, I understand that these are the laws, and I have to reach them. And by reading the law again, I have to be in the intention to bestow, what can I find there even deeper, that I didn't see the first time?

M. Laitman: Think. Think, what can I tell you?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:38) Let's say, I remember once when we came here, we were young, we read the Rabash article, suddenly he told us we have to annul to the group, we need Arvut. I remember in 2003, we had the Arvut Congress in Sidrin, we need equality in the group. It was new things, I never heard it, nobody explained that in school. Then we tried to do. And now when we hear these things, I'm searching for the innovations. I need to annul my will to receive, and to have a desire to bestow more important. So, I get it, understand it, I'm searching for more depth here. How?

M. Laitman: You have to connect.

Student: Connection is a process; it's not an action. We're connecting here, we're sitting here, we have a meal, we're trying to connect. I have a different problem. I understand what the quality of bestowal is, but I don't know how to reach it. I don't know how you can get to such a thing.

M. Laitman: That's the same thing.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:52) The will to receive, is it built from layers, from degrees?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Can I know how many layers the will to receive has to begin with? Can I know, let's say, that I was born on a certain degree of will to receive, and it developed, and there's a point that from one degree, when it's completely as big as possible, it starts restricting?

M. Laitman: To be restricted.

Student: So, first I feel that it's in that point of descent, in that transition? 

M. Laitman: Why? 

Student: When I hear these questions, how do I know, I understand, what was, what is this? I try to scrutinize inside. How was the relation of my will to receive to reality a year ago, two years ago, five years ago, twenty years ago? When I look at this axis, I do see a change in me. I used to be something completely different. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: On the other hand, it's not clear to me, if I don't have a feeling, that the will to receive grew. If it reached the maximum growing, and the created being restricts it, or does it go through such like a peak and then restricts?

M. Laitman: There's no answer to that.

Student: That means that it just keeps going in the work.

M. Laitman: Yes.
