World Kabbalah Convention. Connecting to Lishma.

Lesson 2. Lishma Out of Faith in the Sages.

Reader: Hello everyone. We are in the World Kabbalah Convention, February 2025, with the topic of “Connecting to Lishma”. We're in lesson number two right now. The topic of our lesson is “Lishma, Out of Faith in Our Sages”.

You can find the study material on convention.Kli.one. It also can be found on the study material tab on the Arvut system. About questions during the lesson, whoever wants to ask a question and is sitting in the front part of the hall, raise your hand so that the ushers with the red hats will be able to see you.

Do not lower your hand until Rav gives you the permission to ask. Whoever sits in the back side of the hall is asked to come to the question stations and whoever is on the Arvut system is welcome to put their question marks up. Please ask questions shortly and only on the topic of the lesson with responsibility to the thousands of participants in the convention now.

Whoever gets simultaneous translation is asked to put both earbuds in his ears and to lower the volume as much as possible to not bother those around you. Friends from the world that are in Petach Tikva and are connecting to the Arvut system are asked to use the audio mode on it and friends from Israel are asked to not connect to Wi-Fi but rather use their data. Please make sure that everyone's phones are either silenced or turned off to not bother anyone during the lesson.

We're asking from each and everyone to be responsible to be as silent as possible with as least as possible disturbances. Try not to get up unless it's terribly necessary. The topic of our lesson is Lishmah Out of the Faith in the Sages. Would you like to say something? Lishmah Out of Faith in the Sages?

M. Laitman: (02:20) In our study, we always intend for and speak about people who engage in the wisdom of Kabbalah and want to rise towards the Creator on the ladder of in order to bestow meaning that each time one who comes to the wisdom of Kabbalah hears that the most important is to reach the commandment of in order to bestow contentment to the Creator and various interpretations. Therefore, now we are in lesson number two. As it says before me, the topic of this lesson is “Reaching Lishma Out of Faith in the Sages”. This means that the person who reaches the wisdom of Kabbalah learns and later realizes that what he is studying is not exactly what he feels in our world in our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Rather, there is something more to add towards the spiritual attainment. Now, we're going to talk about that. Let's go.

Reader: So excerpt number one will be from Rabash.

Rabash excerpt 1.

Reading: (04:33) There is the matter of above reason. This is regarded as wanting to walk with his eyes shut. Meaning that although reason and the senses do not understand what our sages tell us, they assume upon them faith in the sages and say that we must take upon ourselves faith in the sages. As it is written, and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses. Without faith, nothing can be achieved in spirituality.

M. Laitman: This means that what we need in the spiritual study is that we need to bring ourselves to the feeling of the spiritual world as a force of bestowal that we will be able to receive from, that we can receive from it the power to get to know reality. It's not what we receive through our five senses but, rather, what we can receive through the sixth sense. The sixth sense is called the quality of bestowal. This is why if we will get this sixth sense we will begin to feel what else exists besides ourselves and our attainment whatever we can depict to ourselves but, rather, this all comes to us, as we read here, through faith in the sages. That if we will want, if we will want to take on this faith in the sages, then it is upon us to take upon ourselves as it says, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses, his servant. Without faith in the sages, as Rabash says here in the first excerpt of our lesson, without faith, nothing can be achieved in spirituality. Meaning, we reach directly through faith in the sages.

M. Laitman: If there are any questions, then think about it, put up your hand. What do we have there?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:47) I couldn't fall asleep at night. I was constantly in some kind of dialogue inside of me with you. I understood, well, how do we work in our Tens? We pray for the friends. Then the convention happens and then we're here intermingling, expanding our one heart so that with each convention it becomes more refined, more pure, learning how to bestow more. That's how it is from one convention to the next. All that remains for us is to just come and work and to believe, to believe our sages, to believe the good future of humanity, that we're working in the Tens and with our common heart we will be able to bestow to humanity. Did I understand this structure correctly?

M. Laitman: Out of what I heard from the translation, apparently what you're saying is correct.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:25) What is the role of the intellect in the spiritual work? If the main thing is to go above reason, how can we check that we're truly going above reason and not just, I don't know, diverting our doubts or something?

M. Laitman: We learn to see the world around us, to live it, not in the quality of reception but in the quality of bestowal. In such a case, in this perception of our reality, we will feel the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:42) May my friend ask? It's her first time in the convention.

M. Laitman: What we need in order to feel everything that exists in the right way, that, first of all, it is necessary for us to receive from the Kabbalists their perception of reality, to receive from the Creator His perception of reality, and then to build the feeling of my perception of reality based on these other perceptions. Let's consider this the task of our, what shall we call it, our forum. Is this clear? Okay. What next? What else?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:12) It turns out that each has his own perception of reality?

M. Laitman: Each one has his own perception of reality but it's like the way it works here in our world where nevertheless, we get together, thousands of people and we exchange thoughts between us and somehow we understand each other. This is how it is in the spiritual world as well.

Student: Can I ask another small question? In our path of advancement we get enforcement of the words that we receive and what you tell us. Does that mean that we're going within reason?

M. Laitman: No, I can't answer you about that because you'll get confused. You don't have enough pieces of knowledge of your own in order to scrutinize that. You can sit down and listen.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (14:44) When it says, faith above reason is regarded as wanting to walk with our eyes shut, how do we on this path come to prefer to want to walk with our eyes shut versus being and seeing the Creator?

M. Laitman: If we will continue to advance as we have advanced so far, then under no circumstances will we be able to understand what is happening in our world. If we will start to direct ourselves to the perception of reality of faith above reason, then we will start to feel our world correctly and the Creator, inside of it. We have too many hands of women over there but we have a man here.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:28) The faith of the sages; when we say faith, we mean bestowal. The faith of the Creator is bestowal to the Creator. The faith of the sages is also bestowal to the sages? In what is it bestowal? In what we receive, what they are giving us? Is that it?

M. Laitman: No, what are you asking?

Student: What is bestowal in relation to our sages, to our teachers?

M. Laitman: Bestowal in the wisdom of Kabbalah is called the quality of bestowal. When the created being acquires the quality of bestowal and they relate to each other with this quality or inside this quality, as we learn in the wisdom of Kabbalah itself, it's as we make a restriction over our perception. Then, we start to discover, only on the degree of bestowal to others in such a case, we begin to feel whom we are receiving from. In such a way, although everything that exists exists thanks to the Creator, if we will receive from Him in such a way, then we will be able to study Him. In that will be our advantage in relation to all the other created beings that exist.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:31) You said that we need to perceive reality like the created beings perceive reality and then how the Creator perceives reality and, based on that, to build our perception of reality. How to receive, to take the perception of reality of the Creator?

M. Laitman: On the basis of the fact that we find such a connection with Him, that He constantly changes His attitude towards us and we, accordingly, need to change our attitude towards Him. Then it turns out that we will begin to feel His actions, His intentions and, in this way, we will be able to operate until we see that in all of our sensations only the Creator governs.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (21:07) I would also like to refine the question. Are we talking about the faith in the sages or the sages' faith?

M. Laitman: Faith in the sages or faith of the sages. The sages means a person who, in his attainment, is on the degree of the Creator.

Student: Meaning we need to use the work that the sage did prior to us, right?

M. Laitman: Certainly.

Student: How can we do that?

M. Laitman: That's what we are learning. This is why all of our lessons are dedicated to that. There's a man back there.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:04) There's a sensation that the quality of reception and bestowal are imprinted in nature and creation. When a person didn't hear of the sages but was in bestowal and after bestowal came to the sages, is that possible?

M. Laitman: This is very rare.

Student: Is it nevertheless possible?

M. Laitman: Well, such a thing happened to our forefathers.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:00) Chris from New York II, United States of America. Very grateful to be here. In the first lesson you spoke about discovering the full depth of the heart. Where do the sages enter in this process? How do the sages assist us with delving deeper into the open heart.Opening of the Heart

Reader: In the first lesson, you talked about… Actually, repeat it, Chris.

Student: Discovering the full depth of the heart. So, the question is, where do the sages enter and assist us in this process of delving deeper into the heart?

Reader: In the first lesson, we talked about the depth of the heart. Where is this faith in the sages? How does it fill that? How is it connected to this building of our common heart that we talked about in the first lesson?

M. Laitman: The sages are those people, just like us who have reached the feeling of the Creator before us. And they write, they teach us through all kinds of communication channels as much as we can connect with each other and help each other to rise, rise above our perception in which we were born to a more general, all-inclusive, deep perception.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:22) What's the difference between students who can nullify before Rav and those who don't succeed at doing so? And what's the reason they don't succeed at doing so?

M. Laitman: Again.

Reader: What's the difference between those who manage or don't manage to nullify before the Rav? And what's the reason for them not to manage to do so?

M. Laitman: This is a matter of the connection between me, let's say, and you. This will... That's the most important. Nevertheless, try to be connected to each other and to me, and you will see what a vessel we will build, what power we have here before us. And this is only a small part of what we have all over the world. So, this is what we will do.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:58) How can a person attain the feeling that Rav has?

M. Laitman: How can a person attain what the Kabbalah speaks about?

Student: I'm sorry, the feeling of bestowal. How can a person attain or get to attain the feeling of bestowal?

M. Laitman: It's when we are together and we want to be connected each time to the one who he's asking a question, the one who is answering, and later on, we also give lessons about it. So, it turns out that we have lots of materials in receiving and giving, and we need to try to spread these materials between us on the same surface. Then we will begin to understand, to hear what our friends are saying. This is called opening the heart.

Student: In the beginning of the lesson, you talked about our senses, our bodily senses, twice. How can we attain or feel the five senses of our soul? How can we attain the senses of our soul?

M. Laitman: We develop ourselves bit by bit, and soon we will also begin to feel that we are connecting between us in this world through the five senses. Soon.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:24) I wanted to ask for us, as we study, what is more important: faith in the sages or faith in the Creator? Are these different degrees? For us, the students, what should we tie ourselves more, and what should we focus on?

M. Laitman: Yes, it is important for us. We certainly want to reach love of the Creator and faith in the Creator. And therefore, we have all kinds of exercises for that. But nevertheless, the most important is love of friends and faith in the friends. This is the area where we first must find ourselves and the connections between us.

Student: Can I continue? When we are in connection with friends that are greater than us, can we consider them to be sages? Or do we only relate to Rabash, Baal HaSulam, and Rav, you, as Sages?

M. Laitman: So, what is the question?

Reader: He's asking, when we are with the friends, we speak with them, we connect with them, is it worthwhile for us to also consider the friends as sages, to consider them as sages? Or when we say sages, we are relating to the Kabbalists, Rabash, Baal HaSulam, and you?

M. Laitman: That's clear. No, we relate as sages only to those who teach us. And they are as teachers in this whole great group of ours, of thousands upon thousands, let's say, the heads of the groups, and not more than that.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:17) In the preparation we talked about what we are grateful to the sages for. What is the role of the sage in relation to the Kabbalists?

M. Laitman: In relation to the created beings in our world, the sage must teach the created beings and help them to rise above themselves, connect among themselves. And in that, he sees his mission.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (34:10) You said that a sage is a person who is in the degree of the Creator. If we attain that same degree as the sage, does that mean we are in Lishma?

M. Laitman: Not yet. Not yet.

Student: What else do we need to do in addition when we become equivalent in form to the sage, to reach Lishma?

M. Laitman: To perform these exercises that we do here, to perform many such exercises, to do them at home, through the phones, through the internet, and try to feel them together.

Reader: I only read number one. So, excerpt number two.

Rabash. Excerpt 2.

Reading: (36:09) Were it not for sages, people would not know what is Torah and what are the Mitzvot, the commandments of the Creator, and there would be no difference between man's spirit and the spirit of a beast.

M. Laitman: This is clear, that if not for the spirit of man, Adam, when he rises above the animate degree of this world, then we too would not be able to receive anything from the wisdom of Kabbalah. We wouldn't understand what to do with ourselves, with our senses, and this is how we would end, therefore. These ladies standing there, are they on cue for the microphone?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:24) How do we turn to the Creator with prayers and requests, for unity and connection? Is there any room for such an appeal to our sages?

M. Laitman: To whom else do you turn in such a way?

Student: Well, we ask of the Creator to connect us, to open our hearts, but if at the moment I have no connection with the Creator…

M. Laitman: In order to give you the end of this chain. To give the end of this chain. Next, third.

Rabash. Excerpt 3.

Reading: (38:31) The degrees of Torah Lishmah are innumerable. And one of them is that when rising at midnight, one should observe the reading of She Who Dwells in the Gardens, friends Are LisTening to Your Voice, let me hear it, which is to connect himself with the soul of the righteous in the Garden of Eden, and unite with them to be refined in the pleasantness of engaging in the Torah, and tie his nefesh, ruach, and neshama with the eternality of the letters of the Torah, and to connect them to Ein Sof, to unite the Creator and His Shechina. That too cannot be attained before he adheres to the righteous of the generation, and knocks on their door each and every day.

And one who dusts himself with the dust of their feet sincerely, and hopes for the light in the light of Torah, then all that he did not attain in this lowly world, he will attain in the end in the Garden of Eden. This is the purpose of the pleasure of the next world, to attain the upper lights and enjoy the brightness of the Shechina.

M. Laitman: Questions, according to what we read now? Go ahead, please.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:43) It's my first time at the convention with my friends from the Ukraine group. They're here for the first time, and they have a lot of questions, but they would like to ask in what manner we can make an effort so that in the Ten we would be able to feel the state of the Garden of Eden and to adhere to the sages?

M. Laitman: This is exactly what we're going through here. That is, we have to clearly go through and receive those excerpts that we're reading, and then try to receive them into the heart, in the mind, in your mind and heart, and then realize that all of these things that we were given should enter through our ears or eyes, everything that we read through sight or hearing, and afterwards we need to do whatever we can so that what is said with these words will penetrate us. And in that, we want to yearn for the highest point, the highest point of our connection, called the Garden of Eden. Well, that's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (43:41) Hello, my name is Jose Olavencia from the United States of America, Indiana. I'm representing KAB U M11. My question is, how to identify and increase the right efforts that will increase the effect of the inequality of connection in the center of the Ten?

M. Laitman: We need to learn what is written in our writings, in the sources, the texts, to see what we're missing, to understand them and absorb them. Like what Rabash writes. When we do not do any critique upon the sages and what they're saying, that's how we reach the reason of Kedusha. And this is since in anything we need to go above reason is because we are immersed in self-love. That's why through faith above reason we get the essence, this is excerpt number 4, the essence of bestowal, the vessels of bestowal. Is that clear?

Student: Yes, thank you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (46:05) When I want to ask the Creator for something, I enter in a dialogue with him and I'm in a prayer. But when I want to ask something of the sages, should I lie down in the dust and ask them how I can ask the sages for something?

M. Laitman: We can address the sages directly, directly to the Creator, directly to each and everyone who's here. The question is, what do we get from all of that? It could be that it's as if we're calling someone on the phone and there's no one on the other side. It could be that we're making the wrong number, we've dialed the wrong number. Maybe we're calling the right number, but the one who answers doesn't know our language. And more and more. That's why we need to try to talk in the language of the Creator. And that is what we're learning now. Meaning, it's not that I need to know Hebrew, or English, or Russian, or... It's not that. Rather, the matter is that we need to work in the language of bestowal, the language of bestowal. And then, we will enter into this communication with that sphere where the Creator operates. And where he establishes the next states for us. So let's hope that that will happen. Yes, ma'am.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (48:32) Is the sixth sense that we want is it a feeling that develops over time?

Reader: Is the sixth sense a feeling that develops within us over time? Is the sixth sense a feeling that develops within us over time?

M. Laitman: The sixth sense develops in us over time, yes.

Student: I feel and understand what you are saying according to my vessel. The question is the following: how can I feel your vessel? How can I become incorporated with your vessel?

M. Laitman: With my Kli? What for you have greater vessels. I'm of the smallest one of them.

Student: You said that Rav's vessel is close or similar to the vessel of the Creator. So, because I have you opposite me, how can I take an example from you and become incorporated with you?

M. Laitman: Yes, so let's start to work like that with everyone. I can't start working with just you but with all the people that are here. We will try to open our hearts to the words that we are reading of Rabash or Baal HaSulam and try for our hearts to be open. Meaning now we will open our heart so that what we read, those words will enter in our hearts and fill and fill and fill our hearts. Ok?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:21) Can you teach us the language of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Bestowal can be learned from such activities like what we're doing now where each and everyone who hears and wants to connect more and more adapted themselves to the general subject of the lesson. Then you will see that, after the lesson, you're already talking in a different manner. You look at reality in a different way. Ok? Wonderful. Now, what else do we have?

Reader: Excerpt number four, if you want that.

M. Laitman: Four?

Reader: Yes, by Rabash.

Rabash. Excerpt 4

M. Laitman: (52:31) Man was given the reason and intellect in order to understand everything according to his intellect. And here we're told to walk by accepting faith in the sages. And a person wants to understand this path. And since as long as one is placed still under the governance of the will to receive for himself, he cannot know what is good and what is bad. One must accept everything the way the sages determined for us. And dirt will enter his eyes and he will not be able to move forward. But when we do not criticize the words of the sages and do not want to accept their words within reason, specifically by this we are rewarded with knowledge of Kedushah, a reason for holiness. This is so because the whole reason why we need to go above reason is that we are immersed in self-love. Hence, through faith above reason, we are rewarded with vessels of Kedusha.

M. Laitman: Is this clear or not or is it too long? What is he trying to say? We have come to a lesson in Kabbalah. What do the sages want, the Kabbalists want to teach us? How we can open our perception?

Reader: Read number four again?

M. Laitman: Five.

Rabash. Excerpt 5.

Reader: (55:43) One must trust the opinion of his Rav and believe what his Rav tells him. This means that one should go as his Rav commanded him to do. And although he sees many arguments and many teachings that do not go hand in hand with the opinion of his Rav, he should nevertheless trust the opinion of his Rav.

Excerpt 5 again.

M. Laitman: (56:24) One must trust the opinion of his Rav and believe what his Rav tells him. Meaning that one should go as his Rav told him to go and although he sees many arguments and many teachings that do not go hand in hand with the opinion of his Rav, he should nevertheless trust the opinion of his Rav.

M. Laitman: Right. Are there any questions about that?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:18) How can I check myself if I believe in the faith in the sages? Maybe I believe myself?

M. Laitman: If you read what we're reading right now, these excerpts, and completely agree with what is said in them, it means that you believe the one who wrote them. You don't believe yourself but, rather, you believe the one who wrote them. Okay.

Reader: Before she starts asking, I want to say there are many questions. Many are putting their hands up. For sure, not everybody will get answers. So, please be patient. And when Rav gives you the time to ask, then ask those who will ask. Ask those who will not. Their question will remain in the heart. That too is good.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:37) Is faith in the sages an intermediate degree between our reason and faith above reason? How can we truly hold on to, grasp this degree? For that, we have to work on these texts, like this one we just read? Is the inner connection of the student with his teacher, a quality of faith above reason, and whom does it depend on?

M. Laitman: The connection of a student with a teacher depends only on the student.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (59:50) There is something really special in the communication with my Rav because you are saying to trust in the Rav, the opinion of the Rav and sometimes it seems contradictory. You hear one advice, then another one. At first it seems contradictory but if you really develop some kind of connection with the Rav, it is always clear. How can we help each other that each friend has this clearness about your directions?

M. Laitman: The moment you begin to receive what is called the revelation of above or of the heavens, it won't appear to you like you need to ask it in a certain language but rather you will feel those states within you. That's what you need to come to reach. That's called the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:33) What efforts should we make in order to understand and feel what the Creator wants to pass on to us through you?

M. Laitman: What does the Creator want to explain to us?

Student: What the Creator wants to pass on to us through you. What efforts should we do in order to feel what the Creator wants to pass on to us through you?

M. Laitman: I teach you how to talk directly to the Creator. In a direct manner and then you, in return, need to hear what He wants to tell you on the same frequency length, on the same channel, so to speak. That's it. And from you having that initial contact with the wavelength of the Creator, you will be able to progress from there.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:28) When we study the sources, we grasp them on the degree that we're in now. While in the sources, there is everything, all the way up to the end of correction. How to correctly work with that, with the texts, with what you tell us, so that we don't bring it down to our level but, to the contrary, to rise to the level of the text.

M. Laitman: What I'm telling you, you must observe.

Student: Meaning, through the implementation, we will rise?

M. Laitman: Only. Kabbalah is a completely practical method. Alright.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:05:26) What is that wavelength that you were just talking about where the Creator is? Where—because you're teaching us to speak with Him.

Reader: What is that wavelength? You said the Creator—that you will teach us how to speak with the Creator. What is the wavelength? Oh, the same, the frequency, wavelength, yeah. How do we talk to Him, how do we communicate with Him?

Student: Yes, you said that we hear the frequency of the Creator, like between us, in the love. I don't know if it's frequencies but you said wavelength.

M. Laitman: No, we won't talk about that. No, we won't talk about that.

Rabash. Excerpt 6

Reader: (01:06:43) Through adhering to wise disciples, it is possible to receive some support. In other words, only a wise disciple can help him, and nothing else. Even if he is great in the Torah, he will still be called a commoner, if he has not been rewarded with learning from the Creator's mouth. Hence, one must surrender before a wise disciple, and accept, or take upon himself what the wise disciple places on him, without any arguments, but by way of above reason.

M. Laitman: Yes. Alright? Now seven, yes?

Baal HaSulam, Shamati

Reader: (01:08:06) A trial means that a person cannot decide either way, when one cannot determine the Creator's will, and the will of his teacher. Although one can work devotedly, he is unable to determine if this devotional work is good or bad. That work is appropriate or not. That this hard work would be against his teacher's view and the view of the Creator. In order to decide, one chooses that which adds labor. This means that one should act according to one's teacher. Only labor is for man to do, and nothing else. Hence, there is no place for doubt in one's actions and thoughts and words. Instead, he should always increase labor.

M. Laitman: Meaning, we need to understand that we never have a choice. If I want more, first of all, I need to increase my labor as much as possible. Then, to the extent of that additional effort, I will receive knowledge. The additional information or knowledge comes from the additional labor. Okay?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:10:25) How not to miss out on the moment in which there is spiritual fear, the fear of missing out on something? Now, something is happening and this fear will not subjugate us but rather will push us forward and it will not deflect us sideways.

M. Laitman: All those who study the wisdom of Kabbalah correctly, when fear is revealed to them, in this fear, they discover spiritual ascent. If there are fears that they won't receive for themselves, then in that fear, they will discover the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:11:55) Rebecca from Poland. Only two of us came but we brought a whole Ten in our heart. The question is, what spiritual qualities should a person develop in order to be worthy of connecting with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Nothing will help him. Nothing will help him other than studying the wisdom of Kabbalah correctly.

Student: Another question from the women of Poland. You said once that many enter the room and not many come out of it. What does that mean?

M. Laitman: That many start to study the wisdom of Kabbalah. They start to study and neglect it eventually. Alright.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:13:14) In the excerpt it says that one cannot scrutinize the Creator's will and his teacher’s will. What does one do with this desire to understand the Creator's will? How do we work with that?

M. Laitman: We need to aim ourselves according to the Creator. That's what we do. We need to aim ourselves according to the Creator just like musicians do. They tune themselves to certain tones, notes, and that's how we have to do it too.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:14:42) How, rising above reason but also using the faith in the sages, help us to rise to a higher spiritual degree in this congress? How will we use this special moment?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand the question.

Reader: How adhesion in faith in the sages will help us to rise right now in this special moment in the congress? How can we use it?

M. Laitman: Adhesion in the faith of sages adds to the vessel, to its volume, to its power—on the other hand—makes the vessel more refined, closer in its quality to the light. That's why we need to strengthen this vessel. That's actually through the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:16:45) I need spirituality and I invest very much in it but I feel that I'm stuck between spirituality and this world. What will help me get out of this state of being stuck?

M. Laitman: Did you understand the question?

Reader: I invest a lot in spirituality but I feel that I'm stuck between spirituality and this world. She's feeling stuck so what will help me get out of that state?

M. Laitman: What will help us go out of being between those two?

Reader: Between spirituality and this world?

M. Laitman: Invest even more in spirituality and then you'll see. Either you'll be thrown out from spirituality, even if you study more,or either you leave and you're not sorry. In order to bring yourself to a spiritual decision, you must invest more in the study of Kabbalah.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:18:50) In this interaction, in order to build faith, the sages are the Rosh, the head. They guide us so the question is, in this sense, where do I detect my friends? Should I search for their greatness or their deficiency?

M. Laitman: I want to show my friends how much I appreciate them. That's the main thing. That is the main thing even though I look at them and I also see them as small and like this, it doesn't matter. I respect them and I can't imagine such a state in which I can be rid of them, to throw them away, to distance them, to move away from them. That's why it's very important for us, each and everyone, to be, to care for those that are next to them, further away, further away, but constantly be concerned with each of us, wanting to feel and to collect all our Kli and it's thousands of people and each has a small element. He's a person and he received guidance to the Creator to come here. That's why we need to love him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:22:17) Yesterday when we talked about connection, you said that we got very close to each other but we can't break through this partition between us. I said that and your answer doesn't leave me for two days already. I imagined before me some dramatic, very serious situation. I imagined to myself this partition; it's transparent and very thin and the friends are next to me. I can almost touch them and I feel the heart of the friend but it's as if they're making fun of me, this partition ahead of me. I can't break through it. How do you feel it? Are there any reasons here or only a few reasons why it doesn't succeed? Maybe there's only one main reason. Some tuning of the direction of our main attack so that, if we will succeed, if we focus, not everything, but most of our efforts in that direction, maybe nevertheless we will succeed in breaking this partition?

M. Laitman: I would answer it this way. No, you know what, I can't answer it. Each needs to answer it from the depths of his heart and not even in the convention because, now, we're being incorporated from one another. Rather, specifically after the convention, ten, fifteen days will go by and then start answering.

Student: I've been going for two days with yesterday's answer and I will go with this answer for fifteen more days.

M. Laitman: What else do we have?

Reader: We can now move to a summary of the lesson.

M. Laitman: You want to summarize? Then I, if so, I need to give—let the people raise their hands—who don't want to raise their questions, to ask. What do they need?

Reader: We will now move on to a summary. We have social time in the lesson now.

M. Laitman: Alright, go ahead. Do it.

Reader: Now we will move on to a summary, social time. Our summary, we heard in the lesson now, that each one should take care of those who are next to him and, gradually, further and further away.Now, we will discuss it in the Ten and, if you want, you can also add other anecdotes, other things we heard in the lesson now. Please, we heard that each one should care for those around him and gradually, further and further away, and other things that we heard in the lesson. Please, lesson summary in the Tens.
