Purifying the Heart - Selected Excerpts from the sources. #5

1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:28) This is our work to purify the heart. There is nothing else besides this. The heart is all of our desires everything that there is in a person which the Creator created the will to receive spoil it, corrupted it on purpose so that we will see how we can control the heart, corrective heart, correct the desires and by the controlling the desires we will be able to really open up for ourselves a whole world and control it govern it, this is our work. Therefore there is nothing more for a person than to check what is in his heart every single moment to what extent he is connected to the friends to the Creator and through the Creator he can check it and he can more accurately directe himself towards bestowal upon the Creator. In this way advance until he comes to reveal the Creator in the heart and our desires.

We have nowhere else to perceive all of reality but only in our hearts are desired and therefore this is all we need to think about how we can purify our hearts and in our desires and therefore this is all we need to think about. How we purify our hearts to the point that we receive in it the feeling of the Creator in the heart, which is present in the heart. Usually it is a result of connecting the hearts with the friends so a person needs to see how he emerges from his heart and searches for the hearts of the friends, how he becomes Incorporated in them and how he collects those hearts within his heart. How is happens to him, how his heart expands to the extent that the heart extends, absorbs the friends he can begin to feel the spiritual beating of the heart meaning bestowal and how the Creator is within it and in this way a person emerges from his own air from his own narrow world of reception into the expansive world of bestowal. We should do exercises with the heart and in this way we will advance. If there are questions, ask. In the meantime we will follow the text.

Excerpt #5 (03:44) “When a person wants to purify himself from vessels of reception..”

2. R (03:58) I would say of thoughts of reception. You cannot purify you cannot run away from the vessels, the vessels remain vessels but the thoughts meaning the intentions, The fact that a person wants to purify himself from the thoughts of reception

Continue reading Excerpt 5 (04:23) This is called purity….

3. R. (04:56 ) The more we talk, read, even sing, the more we are impressed, inspired by what Kabbalists say. It gradually influences us and enters our hearts. Of course, he who is s greater than his friend his inclination is greater than him. His heart is harder on one hand he wants to reach as quickly as possible, as high as possible in his understanding and feeling of the Creator's actions, the spiritual world. But at the same time anyone who is greater than his friend is inclination is greater than Him so he needs bigger vessels a harder heart so it really takes Him a lot longer to reach the point at which the heart finally changes and he begins to be and those sublime hire beatings like the Creator.

4. S (06:13) What does it mean to do exercises with the heart?

R. Exercises with the heart, when I read Baal HaSulam and Rabash I try to make my heart feel what they're saying. For my actions to be as they say. This is basically what I need. There is nothing beyond it. I only need to fill up my heart with what they are saying and therefore I do exercises according to what they wrote. I gradually advance toward my heart both in beatings and in fillings, that they will come from those sources. That is it.

5. S (07:43) What does it mean to expand the heart?

R. To expand,to widen mens that I work to the heart I tried to restrict it to confine it to its egoistic intentions then I broaden it by adding to it intentions and thoughts of giving where I direct it towards the Creator through the friends. Initially, I want to direct it towards the Creator but then I understand that I have no means to do it, to direct it, no instrument to do it. We aim something, when wedirect something, we need to have three points like the sights of a rifle. You have the I and then you have two points on the barrel and then by this you can be certain that you are somehow aiming for the goal, the same goes here. How do I direct myself towards the Creator? Where is my rifle?

Where is the barrel of the rifle? Kabbalists explain to me that all I need is the group. In a group I and another friend, two, are the least many. It's the least,it's not like it is good but it is the least, me and someone else. Then I am directed towards something outside of me. If I want to be aiming more accurately with more with all kinds of details then I need more friends. This is why Kabbalists explain to us that the best is if my group contains a total of ten friends and if a direct all of us together towards one goal and the Creator is in our sights and we all unite between us in order to reach Him then it is certain that we are aiming correctly. Therefore, this is how we need to try to organize ourselves.

S. What are those three points that by their help I can expand this heart?

R. It is my heart, the heart of the friends, the group and the Creator. These are the three points. The Creator is the target. I am the exit point meaning like the eye. If you are aiming to shoot and in between you have the barrel that so to speak connects my eye towards the target. For us the barrel is all the friends. Truly all the friends, this is why I need to connect to the hearts of the friends in order to direct ourselves towards the Creator and then I will see the Creator otherwise I will not see him. Otherwise I will shoot just in the air.

S. Let's say I want now to bring the friend into my heart in order to expand the heart?

R. I am willing to relinquish my heart in order to bring the friend's part into mine and in this way he and I can be directed in one line. In this way I need to connect with several more friends, ideally 10, not 9, and not 11, specifically 10. In this way we aim ourselves and each and every day we have to direct ourselves until we see that these things really do connect. The truth is that they all connect in my heart. in the person's heart. They are both my heart, meaning my eye and the heart of the friend and the Creator too. Everything is revealed in a person's heart, it is called heart but by then it is called the pure heart because he is already ready to relinquish his ego in order to connect with a friend, in order to connect with the Creator. Then we see how much this mechanism is ready for us and we can use it.

S. I heard you say at the beginning of your explanation that we absorb the entire reality only within the heart,

R. Right the heart is everything, in the heart is a person's desire, besides this desire the person has nothing, everything else is like auxiliary tools.

S. I wanted to ask exactly on that point, so when you're working on restricting your desires and absorbing the friend into your heart,what is it now that I see my reality through those desires of my friends?

R. When the person begins to see the world not through his own desire but through a foreign desire, alien desire and then it turns out your intentions change form in order to receive.

S. I am starting to look at reality through the eyes of the friends so how is it different, do I start wanting what he wants?

R. You disconnect from your heart partially you cannot completely exit your heart. Besides your desires you have nothing so you are disconnected from the desires once you attain something in them and then you connect to the friend and what you want to attain is what he wants to attain, wants to attain. It is written about it that you make his wish your wish. In the meantime it's the wish of your friend and then you work together. You are either the force and he is the barrel and then you connect another friend and another friend, and another friend, and in this way you work with your desire but the direction your intention, you are connected to the Creator through the desires of the friends and in this way you connect with them and the more you connect with them the more you connect with the Creator until you come to the complete connection in the middle of the way. But this is how you reach the goal.

S. I start the work when I feel the desire of the friend tand I start to want what the friend wants or do I just start to demand fulfillment for what the friend wants?

R. You want to be directed toward the Creator through the friend and in this way through all the friends to be certain but it is written that two is the least plural. Just someone else, it is enough for you to exit yourself and to work with your own will to receive and add the power of the will to receive to the power of the friend. As Rabbash writes in the social Writing articles, to be a zero before them, to annul yourself. It turns out that from all of these exercises you eventually see the here you have a mechanism that is very special. Through it you truly do reach the Creator.

6. S. (18:28) Me, the group, the Creator is clear, what is the aim is clear, that is how we are directed. what is this end result of the shot after we build all of that

R. Our final goal is to reach adhesion with the Creator to establish our goal because the Creator is a goal.

7. S (19:08) How should we feel the deficiency of the friend? Maybe I can depict myself, but somehow the friend expresses it and I need to see what he is yearning for towards spirituality in the Ten. How do I need to see his need towards spiritually, how do I connect the Ten to another friend to another friend?

R. I cannot hear what you're saying. It's breaking up?

S. To feel the deficiency of the friend I know what that is. The friend expresses his desire and I can feel his deficiencies, but what does it mean to feel the deficiency of the Ten? How can I connect these deficiencies of all the friends and feel the Ten?

R. What is the difference if we are all one man with one heart. I will tell you, feeling the deficiency of the Ten is easier than the efficiency of one person because if we are connected he want to connect then through each one, from mutual help from each one to each one, you understand? It is like working together on some corporeal job or project. The more friends does not make it harder. It makes it easier the more friends there are. Each friend adds something that you already have a clear result from the work. Try it, the main thing is to try and keep going through it to get confused talking about as much as possible and you will see this is practically the work. It is simple, we have to become experts in this. This is all our spiritual work. How we connect the broken desires that are far from each other and even hateful from each other, how do we connect together despite their rejection between us to the point that we want to kill each other. Therefore we simply need to continue. There are really no real secrets here in except for assistance and stubbornness

8. S (22:14) When we speak about these three points that through them we are in ourselves, you said at the beginning we need to restrict ourselves in order to include ourselves in the friends and add this force of desire to the friends. What does that mean?

R. We need to scrutinize it. We can do it by speaking, we can do it by thinking, by reading ,by studying, to scrutinize what we really want. to yearn for one goal, the revelation of the Creator meaning the revelation of the power of bestowal within our desire. This is something that is new, that is unclear. This is what we learn. Only through exercises between us can we do this. The more a person tries to reach a connection, to achieve connection with the friends in this way he reaches out more. What can I say? It is only exercises here.It's just like in sports. Just like anything else. The more time we repeat it, the better.

S. You also said that in this adhesion with the friends, the targeting towards the Creator was somehow connecting to the force of bestowal. The force of bestowal, what is this there? What is the Creator or some other kind of fourth component there?

R. With the force of the bestowal, the more I can rise above my force of reception and work in the opposite way. For example if I hate someone and I try instead to love him. I'm not talking about regular life but, in the way we work between us in the group.So love covers all the crimes. This is really the power of bestowal, that in this way we revealed it, nurture it, cultivate it between us and afterwards this force becomes the restriction, the screen and the reflected light and the force of the hardness. This screen will use it in the order to betstwo from the friends to the Creator. Itit turns out that from each one of us emerges the reflected light that we want to bestow upon everyone. All the reflected lights from each one mutually connect between us and they become the field, the field that the Lord has blessed and that field we present the Creator.

We want Him to be revealed in this field. There are many verses about this,many sayings that the King is revealed in the field. etc., appears in the field, a field of our mutual bestowal that we build between us but he is revealed to the extent we relate to one another. This is why it is written.' from the love of the people to the love of the Creator ',and then we reach the upper force, the force of the opposite nature. A nature of bestowal and then we begin the reveal of the opposite world. That is it. Other than these two states, the force of reception and the force of bestowal, there is nothing more in reality.

Only by revealing one force over, right, left, left,right. In this way we reveal these two forces together, how they connect, how they support one another. Through their connection between them through their support we begin to see the system, which is called the system of the worlds.  On the one hand you have a system of concealment and on the other hand,you have the system of revelation, also like right and left. In this way we get closer and closer to the reality where both left and right connect together and this is called the darkness shines as light.

9. S (28:02) The friends in the ten, I participate with them in my heart, are these scrutinies important in order to understand the knowledge and study more?

R. What learning and knowledge do they want?

S. The study and the knowledge that we learn in the Wisdom of Kabbalah.

R. The Wisdom of Kabbalah is a wisdom that is revealed in the heart, in a corrected heart, partially or completely. Therefore, we first have to direct the heart and with what we will learn within the heart will be called the Wisdom of Kabbalah, of reception, because our vessels will be desires in order to bestow and we will be able to receive from the Creator according to the law of equivalence of form, the law of connection between us and the Creator.

We will be able to receive from Him what He wants to give us and then our vessels will be with the wisdom of reception, in style and direction, so the light of the wisdom enters them and becomes revealed in them; this is called learning the Wisdom of Reception, the Wisdom of Kabbalah. This is why our whole work in the meantime is a work that precedes the real study because we do not have the vessels yet. Let's hope that soon we will help them. I am certain that you are already approaching it. We can learn just as we learn; the preface of the Wisdom of Kabbalah, we can study the Study of the Ten Sefirot, but then again studying them, some will say them today as well but studying them is only starting an action, and operation, in order to draw the reforming light so it will influence us.

10. S (31:20) If the friend is drowning in all of his problems, health, living, he is not able to respond. How can the ten build this force of purification?

R. Only through connection. Can you build a sufficient force, so this force will overcome all the obstacles along the way and we'll organize and arrange for you all the right connections between you and that friend? Only through the connection between you. If on your part the connection is strong enough and good enough and dedicated enough you will come to a state where you connect to that sick friend.

11. S (32:23) In this process of the purification of the heart, are the friends the channels of my deficiency towards the Creator or i am the channel of the friend’s deficiency towards the Creator?

R. Precisely correct. Precisely. I exist in order to connect the friends to the Creator and the friend exists in order to connect me to the Creator, and in this way we are in a mutual connection throughout the whole ten and we cover this entire ground between us and we draw in it the Creator. If each one is aiming for the friend outside of himself then by this we are building a network of connections called A Ten or Ten Sefirot or Partzuf and in it the Creator is revealed.

S. Do I choose that role or is the role just kind of stuck to me to be this pipeline?

R. Each one has his own role just like each one has his own desire, his main essential natural desire. And, each one has his own place in the system of Adam HaRishon, the system of Adam not even the first man; the system of Adam, man. And this is how we need to be each one Incorporated with the friends and then each one through the friends to connect to the whole world Kli and by this we come to the network, where the Creator is revealed. Where the Creator is revealed completely.

12. S. (35:18) what connection do we have between pure thoughts and a pure heart and what kind of thoughts purify the heart?

R. thoughts about connection about love, they purified the heart. Only these thoughts and not thoughts about the Creator but thoughts about the friends first. Here we will make fewer mistakes but if we think about the Creator the whole world can say they’re righteous, every single person, and there’s nothing we can do about it here. But if we can express ourselves towards the friends here, we can already see how much we are aiming ourselves and how much all of our desires and intentions are directed through the friends to the Creator.

In other words, I really need to feel that it comes out of me, a desire within my heart, enters to the heart of the friend and is aiming for the Creator. And, that is how it is towards each and every friend until we discover that the Creator is revealed in a network of connections that I build through the friends to the Creator; and this is how I feel that this network already exists and the Creator was revealed in it, in the connection between us. It is a matter of feeling, we remember what Rabash writes “there is nothing in the world that a person cannot come to feel it” but only through exercising, by constantly trying and trying and trying to speak to the Creator in this way.

13. S. (38:15) When you talked about your purification, to purify the heart, is purification like nullifying what is important to me in order to increase the importance of what is inside the force in the ten?

R. Yes, you could say that. In his words it's like that I guess.

14. S. (39:01) How can we keep each day in the ten, the concentration on the final goal, on the Creator?

R. This is a problem. It's a problem. Only on the condition that each friend will help another; and we can first of all build and keep these duties like we have read from the students of the Ramchal, that they read The Zohar and different things and everyone was responsible for certain hours to awaken the friends and so on. This is what we need to do: we need to determine these things, we need “to set time for the Torah” as we say. The more we can be connected to the texts or even songs, anything that belongs to connection, and understand that this is the spiritual work and this is the most important work the connection between the hearts. And from that we want to bestow on all of the friends and through them we want to also bestow to all of humanity that needs it so much, this connection; that confuses itself and endangers its existence by allowing itself to be in hatred, this natural repulsion that we have towards one another.

Reading Excerpt #6 (41:18) “ one who wants to come closer to the Creator and be able to learn..” twice

15. S. (45:55) What is the correlation between purifying the heart and the sense of soul devotion that we feel in the ten or even in the world Kli? What is the correlation between those two things?

R. When we want to open our hearts to the friends in order for us to have this field, this area where the Creator can be revealed, then this is how we cover all the problems, all of the deficiencies as it says in few places “everything is corrected by connection with the friends”. That is why you should not enter into details but connection between us with an open heart as much as you can and this is what we need to allow ourselves to open ourselves, to obligate ourselves, and that is how we will keep this building of the spiritual Kli within us. There's no other way. We have to exit from our nature and just have a tendency towards it, not that we ourselves can do this action. No. For sure each person can say: I have no desire to bestow, I have no love of others. Certainly not, and he's right. We just need to wait and ask for the Creator to make this correction. That’s it. And if we present Him our vessels in the correct manner then we receive what we desire a corrected vessel. This is how it is, each time in a gradual way.

16. S. (48:58) In the lesson today I received a great importance of the connection between us, as if it is a new decree of importance. How to go deep because I certainly feel that this is the most important thing, the connection between us, how do I go deeper into the connection between us?

R. It is only by these exercises. Only by returning to the same exercises again and again; ask the Creator that He will correct you, that He will arrange, that He will bring us closer. That's it.

17. S. (50:05) How can the heart of the friends be in a new heart from flesh because they too are egoists?

R. But whether they are egoistic or not you do not know. You see them with your eyes and “everyone who faults, they faults from his own fault”, and that’s why you don't see the friends. You don’t see their heart, you see your heart, only. As much as you ask the Creator to correct your heart to connect with your friends, in that you will see them more and more corrected. Then it turns out that the whole world is corrected. I am in my corrupted vision and I see it in an egoistic way and all of a sudden I see that the Creator illuminates and I see the world opposite in the light of this upside down world. It says, “I saw an opposite world”, and then you do not have to correct anything except for yourself.

18. S. (51:54) It seems that in some states bestowal contradicts with connection, in those states which one should we choose bestowal or connection?

R. It could be that you are still in these building states and you are not revealing the right connection between bestowal and connection. But regardless, there needs to be this tendency towards bestowal and connection; and when you reach that connection you try to correct it in the force of bestowal.

Excerpt #7 (52:53) “While it shines, one is able to work even in the form of reception for oneself..” twice

19. R. (55:30) When can we say that we are in bestowal? Whenever it is dark, there is nothing good in our lives, it is full of all kinds of apprehensions or problems, there are haters popping up from all over the place and really they want to tear me into pieces and together with that I understand that it is passing through my will to receive, on my ego and I am above it and happy that the Creator gave me such an exercise and then turns out that I have no problem. I am happy in that I am receiving all kinds of troubles, suffering from different all kinds of things and how much these and the higher these sufferings are and the highest is that the world is laughing at you, everyone is pointing their finger at you and really laughing at you then in that way a person sees that this is what the Creator has arranged for Him because there is none else besides Him and the world is playing in this theater as corrected dolls.

Then a person says, this is all being poured out onto Him and he sees it is the Creator that is giving Him this exercise before a serious ascent to a higher degree and if a person finds himself in the state of darkness, and from all these places, from every direction they want to jump on Him, all these haters, he starts to take and accept those things as a blessing because this is what aims Him towards the Creator because he is the one who arranged these things from the beginning and he sees in that an opportunity to work in order to bestow regardless of all of the states I'm going through I only want one thing: that the Creator will reveal as the force, the upper force of bestowal and everyone should direct himself to Him to the Creator.

20. S. (59:20) I did not understand how in a state of absolute darkness he understands and sees that it came from the Creator because there is no attainment whatsoever?

R. I'm sorry I didn't hear…

S. How in a state of complete darkness does he begin to understand and believe but it came from the Creator if he has no attainment if he's in his ego?

Reading Excerpt #7 (01:00:15) “While it shines, one is able to work even…”

21. S. (01:01:40) What does it mean to be glad in the state of darkness and for this joy to be a sign of working in purity?

R. Because it's impossible to see or to show or to make an action or deed only from the opposite form, the light comes from darkness. This cleaning can only happen after you clean something from this darkness, from the trash, from all the disturbances and that is why specifically on top of all of these disturbances the Creator had to build the spiritual world on top of this corporeal world so the created being would be able to distinguish between this and that and we can exist and determine where we are.

The creature has to be between these two discernment black and white or darkness and light and this is what we always need to take care of but when we do these things it needs to be clear to us that you can't have one without the other it can't be that everything is white, no. White is the opposite form of the black and they have to appear together. Only the white on top of the darkness, this is what we need to do therefore we don't need to run away from problems, from difficulties, from frustrations, from weaknesses. Everything, it all comes from the Creators so that we would build the spiritual degree above what the Creator reveals to us as darkness, black, dirty Etc.

S. So in a practical way because it says here that I should be in joy from this darkness, how do I get to a state of joy?

R. Because you cover it with white so your inspiration, you're seeing that the darkness is covering the white and not from the black or the white do you receive joy, no, but in the difference between them. We can exist only in this difference between black and white and that's why the Creator created from the beginning the evil inclination and that he says, he's proud of it, I created the evil inclination and from this and from that, on top of it, he can be revealed, to show Himself, to introduce to us this entire spiritual world also heaven and also hell, one on top of the other and this is how we will exist and the difference between both of them, otherwise we can't exist.

22. S. (01:05:34) What should I do with this new degree?

R. I exist white on top of the black; Meaning, the Creator is revealed in opposite forms that I as the created creature can identify. I can’t just recognize black, I can't recognize white, I only recognize the difference between them. The difference between white and black this is what creates the picture of the world for me and that is why whenever I recognize them then I see that also in black and also in white there is importance, that it all comes from Him, that's why it says I created the evil inclination and this whole picture that he depicts for me it all comes from Him. I want to adapt myself from black to white and that in there I have something to work with. I see the differences between them, I see what I need to belong to more, that's how it is.

23. S. (01:07:27) Is it possible to be in gladness in the state of blackness? When I study in Lo Lishma?

R. Yes, you can be in a state of darkness in joy if a person is in connection with the group and the group supports him and he recognizes that this state is very goal-oriented. It's when he feels like he's supported by the friends and like God's for a bid if someone is very very seriously sick and he is very dependent on all the doctors, all relatives, all that can help him to really treat him correctly.

24. S. (01:08:45) Can we check the purity of our work only in a state of darkness and fall?

R. Yes from darkness excels with light you can only build it on top of the darkness you can 't check your work, you can check yourself, only on top of darkness. This difference here is a place for our life where we exist, for all of our discernments. Otherwise,we have no other way to grasp the reality.

25. S. (01:09:40) Tell me please if I'm in a state of darkness, there is no reason for joy but still I am on the path and feel it is correct. Is it working in purity?

R. In the meantime yes, but afterwards you need to add to that true discernments.

26. S. (01:10:07) You said beautiful things about building heaven on top of Hell or seeing the opposite road. I want to ask, is it like the realization of my haters, actually people who point fingers at me or laugh at me are actually bestowing upon me? Thanks to them I am being connected to the Creator. Can I see this opposite road this way?

R. Maybe, I don't want to get into these kinds of ideas or thoughts where there's a bunch of psychology but really a person can not see what is actually helping him to advance in spirituality correctly. I think haters advance a lot more than lovers.

27. S. (01:11:40) You describe the state of darkness in a sense that the ego is suffering, the whole world laughs at him, he's suffering from external things. What does it mean that in that stage he's happy, in what is he happy? If the heart is happy then it is not black anymore, if it's in the thought then it's like false joy?

R. Don't be so flat. There's a state by itself and there are discernments, there is a goal and so it's not so simple, just unilateral, it could be that you were in a state that is completely bad but together you understand that this state has to bring you to good so you distinguish between the state itself end the goal that you attain. There is no choice. It's like a person God forbid is sick, he goes and lays down on the operating table and they perform surgery and take the bad out of his body and he will be healthy, so he's happy that he is going to get the surgery because he has no other choice to be healthy but only by the surgery. This is the work but we need to distinguish between the states and the means of attaining the goal. From this state to the next state.

S. In other words the joy should begin and the mind and from there somehow seek into the feeling?

R. Yes.

Reading Excerpt #8 (01:14:45): “According to the sorrow, so is the reward….” twice

28. R. (01:17:19) This is why it is so important for us to receive examples from the group from the ten because by that a person starts to form perform some actions from below that can invite the relation from the Creator, from above; meaning, we have to, each and everyone has to show others all kinds of actions of bestowal that he is carrying out towards them.

That he is learning, that he's asking, that he's doing something in order to give examples to others and they themselves will wake up and give him an example so each helps his friend and this way they work together and if that won't take place a person won't be able to wake up. Specifically through this we can start with envy, lust and honor, as if it's written they bring the person out of the world. By us projecting to each other how important spirituality is for us and how much we can advance, by each of us giving an example to the other, through that, I am advancing by giving an example to the another and I also helped him advance and he then gives me the same exercise and so each one helps his friend.

29. S. (01:19:21) From the beginning of the lesson I hear you say that we have to do exercises to purify our heart. Exercise, try again and again, you say there are no secrets except for being stubborn so how to be persistent and stubborn?

R. I don't understand, ask again.

S. From the beginning of the lesson I hear you say that we have to do exercises to purify our heart. Exercise, try again and again you say there are no secrets except for being stubborn so how to be persistent and stubborn?

R. Being stubborn is when I show everyone how I yearn to the goal, how much I yearn to the goal. Please be stubborn there. So that everyone will see that each and everyone really wants to reach the goal, that he is willing to invest his strength in that.

30. S. (01:20:57) Let's say we give an example to one another. I showed someone an example and my example was not appreciated, nobody paid attention to it so should I show it to the ten or should I wait till they pay attention?

R. I don't understand your question.

S. Let's say I show the ten an example and they don't pay any attention. Should I awaken their attention towards it or should I wait till they pay attention? How to work with this correctly?

R. No, because I set an example to the ten for them to be impressed with my example and I'll be impressed by them and then I will advance. If I am not impressed with my ten, how can I advance? I have to have a deficiency so awakening them, igniting them and when I ignite them it turns out that they, as they are ignited, they Ignite me. This is what we call one should help his friend.

S. One more question if I can: you said we need to learn these states. What does it mean to learn a state? How can you learn about a state?

R. We may, we can, how should I say it? We can learn our states out of the state we had previously and the state we are aiming for afterwards and then we'll learn. What do I mean by learn? I'm I tried to shake myself, to bring myself out of the state I'm in and that is basically my desire, my inclination, that is how we learn. I can't explain any more right now because our connection is not so good. In two days I will be back home and let's hope we can expand the questions, you can write them down. We will read them or go back to them in the meantime.
