Part 1:

Rabash. What Is the “Right Line,” in the Work?. 38 (1991)

1. Rav intro: What's your impression?

2. S. (39:35) All of these articles are amazing. What greatness of Rabash the greatness of the path there are no words to describe this I wanted to ask how these transitions from left to right and right to left, all these transitions how do they build the matter of Torah what are they building in us these entries and exits?

R. Deficiency and fulfillment, all manors, all kinds from which in total we feel ourselves being filled by the Torah.

S. What is to be filled with Torah?

R. To be filled with Torah means that we are being filled from the deficiency and the fulfillment. Except those deficiency and fulfillment there's a special connection between them. Right line, left line, wholeness, deficiency from all these actions that a person feels that are acted on him he eventually receives the fulfillment that has this content.

S. He says in the beginning that it's called this feeling and emptying is called councils. Then the emptying, filling is called deposits or some kind of content. What is that transition from being left and right called councils and left and right that are called deposits?

R. What's the difference between them? How a person relates to it.

S. What changes in a person’s attitude from the beginning of the path where it’s called councils and then that transition to something else called deposits?

R. It's a person's attitude. What does a person see in them, where do they come from Creator, when there's None Else Besides Him? What are they building inside of a person the feelings, reactions to what he's receiving from the Creator. In other words the fact that the Creator is influencing a person also includes the reaction of the response from the person to the Creator. This way he receives from above both influences from the Creator and his responses to the Creator, and he learns from that.

S. What is the difference between the attitude towards this action upon the Creator or the Creator operating upon him in return, which are called councils to deposits?

R. This is what he learns from what’s happening to him. Happy prepared he is to see if he expects to receive these influences from the Creator and he expects to have the right reactions to the Creator from him.

S. When the correct responses come it's called the Pekudin the deposits?

R. Pekudin the deposit is when connection comes later on between the person and the Creator.

3. S. (44:23) You talked about states of lack and filling and lack of filling. He says that the more of the states you have here the more He opens your eyes. What is to open your eyes in the Torah?

R. Open the eyes depends on a number of states that you have of light and darkness. Darkness and Light. Darkness and Light and the more that they come to you then for these actions they convey to a person that not merely the action itself, but what is the action carry inside of itself.

S. What does it mean that the action does within it?

R. Carries within it meaning the essence of the action the first time a person feels nothing more than darkness and light and the second time good and evil the third time to bestow and to receive and so on and so forth he advances more and more toward the essence of the action.

S. Meaning from this opening of the eyes I discovered the concealment of the Creator?

R. Yes.

4. S. (46:11) Are councils and deposits stages of preparation and which being councils and then later when a person's ready receiving in order to bestow?

R. Yes, after Pekudin.

S. After councils?

R. After Pekudin deposits we begin to enter the work to bestowal.

S. A person starts with the stage of the Eitin Counsels?

R. Yes.

S. Only after that stage does the person enter the stage where he's working in order to bestow called deposits Pekudin?

R. Relatively speaking yes.

S. Before a person reaches a state of working in order to bestow which we called Pekudin deposits these deposits in the first stage of councils of Eitin is there right and left and in that stage there's a preparation stage there is only a sense?

R. That depends on the number of actions that he goes through and how to what extent he processes them into actions that belong to the Creator and those that belong to men and the essence of these actions.

S. Meaning this isn't a clear division that I'm trying to depict to myself right now?

R. Never can you find this simple clear action. The first time you go over it's like this the second time you feel differently a little deeper the third time it's different again and then it's a little deeper and gradually you will reveal the inner content of the action.

S. When does a person start to feel or engage in deposits Pekudin and when in our work where we start feeling like we're engaging in that?

R. When you rise above yourself, and you want to be with the friends in collaboration relative with the Creator.

S. This addition towards the Creator is what makes this feeling here that there's this counsels that are worthwhile to engage?

R. It's a combination of your actions with the friends and the actions what brings you the change. Sharing with these actions. It depends only on the sharing, these combining.

S. Yesterday in our Ten we engaged a lot in how we're taking our lacks, each of his lacks and we are passing them through the Ten and from them from the Ten to the Creator there was a feeling that specifically taking all of these deficiencies and somehow transferring them to the Creator from the Ten it's what we need to practice it's what we need to what we're missing in our work.

R. You lack a vessel you need to connect between you more.

S. What is the connection between us in such a way that will give us the ability to receive that vessel?

R. To combine deficiencies, achievements and work with these things as given.

S. How do I connect my deficiency let's say to this friend or to this other friend's deficiencies?

R. Look for it, search how you can do it. I can't explain it.

5. S. (50:39) The impression we see that it demands more than one article to depict a complete picture of what left, and right are and from every article we're getting additional answers and maybe we need even more but certainly there are many answers to the questions that we've been asking ourselves for the last few days. at one point I would like to scrutinize when a person is on one line he works he tries to work in wholeness and then he wants to improve his work as far as the intention. so it opens this matter of wanting to look at his work and to add his critique to it and intensify the work and then the left line is revealed. what is the action a person does now in order to return to the perfection the wholeness of the right? What needs to be done for that?

R. To go back to the right?

S. Yes, to join the left to the right how does he do that?

R. He justifies the Creator for his action.

S. What action? Whose action is the Creator upon him or him?

R. Yes, the Creators action on him when the Creator seemingly gives him a sense of repulsion, rejection, negation, and a person nevertheless take a step forward. It's as if the Creators taking a step away from the person and a person takes a step toward the Creator and he begins to feel that deficiency that the Creator created in him.

S. While he's in a state where he already has a left the return is felt, correct me if I'm wrong, it needs to be felt above his reason, it’s an ascent here, so there needs to be some kind of additional point?

R. Yes.

S. Overcoming, so there's a matter of overcoming here. Is this a state of overcoming, this transition or not a retreat of sorts that you have to take those lacks so that receiving of the deficiency is to develop faith above reason. Is that the action that happens there?

R. You can say that yes.

S. Is it right to say that this work between right and left develops vessels of bestowal the faith in a person in that force?

R. Yes.

6. S. (53:56) When does a person want to move from the left line to the right line?

R. Can you speak Hebrew already? I’m being serious.

S. For the time being, no.

R. Is that how it's going to be all the time?

S. No. Theres Improvement I've managed to understand the friends more I almost understand them, but I just speak very little.

R. Okay speak then.

S. What needs to be the correct prayer to ask the Creator to be on the right line, so it won't be for the sake of myself? When do you check yourself why you need the right line eventually you'll discover that it's from above yourself?

R. No, if I want to be locked on the Creator and I try both on the right and on the left to be aimed at Him then I begin to depict myself as the middle line where I don't care about right or left as long as through these two sides I can participate with the Creator in a way that's closer to me and in a way that's farther away from me. Which is clear that this is right and one is left and in this way I can correct these two steps the right and the left so that in total I approach the Creator.

S. Meaning the main thing is to ask to be adhered to the Creator?

R. Yes.

S. Adhere to his qualities? Right?

R. Yes more.

7. S. (56:38) He repeats in the article several times that a person cannot exist from his deficiencies, but he has to have fulfillments. I wanted to ask about that. How could it be that it exists from a deficiency if our whole essence is desired to build a deficiency? The fulfillment is not in our hands?

R. The fulfillment is not in our hands but what is in our hands is the prayer, the demand plea.

S. Exactly in our entire existence is in prayer why can't we live from prayers, meaning that it turns out that we're living from the prayer, but he says that a person cannot exist in deficiencies?

R. Prayer is not necessarily deficiencies, first of all, also where we wish to bring contentment to the Creator we turn to Him with all of our strength.

S. What is the prayer if it's not a deficiency?

R. Gratitude.

S. Are requests also a prayer?

R. Request are a prayer certainly.

S. When you have a request it's because you want something in you, you're asking for something.

R. I want something, but it depends on what do I want. I'm asking for vessels of bestowal. I'm asking for the ability to thank the Creator to rise above my state in order to cleave to him, in order to relate myself to him.

S. Clear so if I ask for vessels of bestowal it's not considered asking for fulfillment you're asking for something it's not that I'm asking for some form of fulfillment?

R. Not necessarily.

S. When you receive vessels of bestowal that’s not considered that you asked, and you received that's not filling?

R. Why am I doing this, why do I want to receive. That's the question, it all depends on your intention. I'm asking the Creator for half the world. Or give you the entire world so am I receiving or bestowing? It means nothing, the action itself does not explain what a person wants, only the intention does this.

S. That's clear simply what I don't grasp is that that point where a person cannot exist from deficiencies but only from fulfillments but in practice you're always existing from the deficiencies from the prayers so how can it be that there's no sustenance no existence out of deficiencies a person is always operating from a deficiency to be filled.

R. But again it depends on what are your deficiencies. Thats what it's all about. We chased the correct deficiencies, correct meaning, that we have the power and the desire and the intention to work with them, with those deficiencies since without deficiencies, who am I? I'm never like the Creator and the force of bestowal. My force, my power is to correct the force of reception, but I constantly want to receive. I am a created being and if I position myself in such a state where I'm a created being and I'm a receiver how with my will to receive can I reach a state where I compare myself entirely to the Creator?

S. Here he writes that a person that’s in deficiencies, therefore feels that he has no vitality. It’s because when you look at yourself from the side that there's a deficiency for bestow and there's a lack for greatness of the Creator, so there is vitality. You really want, you have like fuel, you are in vitality? On the contrary these are deficiencies.

R. These deficiencies are livening that's clear, but are you realizing them?

S. What is he writing that there's no vitality? For the ability to realize them? Is that what he's writing?

R. Yes, yes.

8. S. (01:02:16) To continue this point when the person sees that he is no advancement on the way to reach the desire to the store it turns out that he is in deficiency and with deficiencies he cannot live and then he says that a person falls to this he will fall to sleep because it is the one thing that he feels that he does not have because he lives from deficiencies.

R. Yes because he does not have such discernments that accumulate him to bring him to sleep eventually he disconnect because he sees less and less abilities to participate in this action.

S. He says not to fall asleep he has to evoke happiness to return to the right?

R. Yes.

S. Can you explain this very fine line in a moment you can fall asleep and then you have to awaken it and then we can joy into the filling?

R. When I am unable to bestow to the Creator in my current state and I feel in it already zero power. how from that state do I not fall into sleep.

S. He actually moves he says that you would move to loneliness for the Creator awakening him?

R. How from that state. How again?

S. How do I from the state awaken the right so not to fall asleep?

R. No it's impossible to do in one action. You cannot do it with one action.

S. It sounds like a very delicate craftsmanship artistry.

R. Yes.

S. What should we do?

R. Let's think about it, let's think about it together.

9. S. (01:05:09) Here he describes the matter of still of Kedusha; while the vessels are illuminated by the reforming light, the good light. So my friend is asking, he asks like this, he writes: “And then he enters the work of the still of Kedusha, which is the still, and it is the first step that the vessels prepare. This belongs to all, meaning the surrounding and illuminates to all of Israel. Meaning to all those that have a grip on the Torah and the Mitzvot. And the surrounding light already illuminates in them, into their vessel”. He is asking to explain in a clear manner, upon which, what Israel is being talked about here? Maybe it is also possible to give an example in our language. Because here it is a talking in this in this somewhat religious language?

R. I don't understand what you were asking?

S. Can you explain what is the surrounding light that he says, from that manner this still of Kedusha, it's first example from which everybody begins. Meaning the light shines upon all of Israel. So it's like, he's asking, what is the whole of, all of Israel, as far as we are concerned?

R. The whole collective means all those, all of Israel, are those souls that are worthy of receiving the awakening from the light that shines in them.

S. He calls it the still of Kedusha?

R. Yes, for the time being, it's the still of the holiness.

S. He's asking, upon which Israel is being spoken about? Also, religiously he is asking the question? Can we attribute the whole of Israel to the world Kli, or all over Israel?.

R. Where are you taking these questions from? All of Israel are the lowest souls but they belong to Israel; meaning ultimately they are destined to wake up.

S. Those who merited the awakening of the surrounding?

R. Let's say merit.

S. That is what I wanted to ask what is it to merit? What is this merit of being rewarded?

R. Meriting meaning that they have connection with the light that awakens the souls.

10. S. (01:08:44) He writes that from the buckets you take water, and the water is the Torah, in the bucket is the state of being poor, poor in what?

R. That he doesn't have anything of his, of himself but only that he has he does not ascribe to himself. There is a bucket, there is water, the water that is in a bucket, does it belong to the bucket?

S. No but that's actually the state of holiness which writes about so recognizing that it's not belong to me that's already holiness?

R. The fact that the water is in the bucket is the wholeness of the bucket and the wholeness of the water.

S. What is the wholeness on my behalf the fact that I don't have an attitude the Creator is that wholeness?

R. Who are you?

S. Is that the bucket?

R. Yes you have water and that is fulfillment from the Creator the Divine part of above that is in you. So you're in the state of wholeness. So what is your question?

S. If that’s the only thing that is missing that I'm missing this wholeness that is the whole state for me?

R. From your point of view?

S. Yes.

R. If you don't have to place an intention over it then it's a whole complete state.

11. S. (01:10:43) He describes a process of whoever works in actions only feels that he is giving the Creator and is serving the Creator through his actions, it illuminates to him. Whoever does not have intention, does not feel is there something for the Creator and he's even more of an egoist and he wants to rise even more above everyone and he's not able to be giving. So, how does the right line illuminate for him?

R. Where are you taking this from?

S. He gives this advice of constantly working in wholeness.

R. You take such excerpts?

S. No, throughout the article, not just article, he gives the advice of working in a state of wholeness. I'm asking how do we work in the state of wholeness? In which way actually all their actions are in towards the next so that the connection starts from a state of imperfection, what does to take state of imperfection from our state. how do you implement this advice? We're not working in practice. People do actions physical actions then they have no problem of giving to themselves they're giving to the Creator to take wholeness it illuminates them. We engage in actions of connection. in advance we're not in the state of wholeness it immediately projects to us a state of ups and downs. so I'm asking we intensified the work in wholeness. What is that? How do we get to that?

R. It's a simple question how through any action of mine can I raise my work in wholeness?

S. Yes.

R. Using the intention that I add to the action.

S. The intention of something that shakes you from side to side, it's like you don't get immediately the intention, you struggling for the intention?

R. Even when I struggle for with it I scrutinize the intention and I raise it to even higher degree.

S. When we work on the intention can we truly enact the deficiency that the Creator will illuminate on that and give us the feeling of wholeness or something that is Illuminating or shining? Many people are working in action, and they are a little perplexed, they're so enthusiastic and they're filled with energy. I also want in my work, is the intention to be in the same excitement?

R. Maybe you are missing the action. There has to be an action that is nevertheless ready to observe the intention and to keep it and maintain it there. It is possible that the action so small the intention does not have a grip in it.

S. Our deeds on the path are action of connection that we do well tell me what?

R. They can be such connection actions that are so superficial that you do not feel like you have to instill in intention in them for this action to be felt as reaching into practice.

S. What's the deed what’s in practice? What do you mean?

R. A deed in practice is when I perform an action that is founded on an action and above the foundation there is an intention.

S. Our actions are internal?

R. Doesn't matter so we don't need any deeds right?

S. What is an internal deed?

R. An internal deed as an internal deed but it’s not, don't make the intention seem redundant. The intention is not redundant. We need to be in it and don't severe the action since without the action you will have nothing to which clothe on the intention.

S. Why is what you are describing now called “to work in wholeness”? He said that we need to work in wholeness. So why is what you described now called to work in wholeness?

R. Because there is both an act and intention there and both are aimed at the same goal.

S. It doesn't matter what I feel I need to feel that I'm working in a state of wholeness? No matter what I feel? I don't feel that I'm working in wholeness.

R. So that is what you need to work on.

S. An act?

R. An act in completeness, completeness precisely because it was both the act and intention there.

S. But wholeness is what I’m describing. I don’t have to feel it. What I’m describing that now I’m working in wholeness is what determines and not what I feel?

R. It depends, it depends, it may be not the intention but imagination.

S. What is the difference between intention and Imagination?

R. Imagination does not exist and then intention may exist.

12. S. (01:17:15) An action above reason is when I intend toward the friend and the Creator's greatness is that the whole action?

R. The way you put it perhaps it is.

13. S. (01:17:38) The article is very strong. I was very inspired by it. I understand the work. I understand what he said about the lowliness is like a bucket that where you fill it, but why in every commandment is there a light deposited that is called the names of the Creator? I can feel, there’s a feeling, but what are the names of the Creator?

R. You still can't divide the bestowal of the Creator into all kinds of measures Quantas and feel how it operates on you.

S. So just simply to expect to work with the friends and to get some kind of feeling, it will come later on?

R. Yes, just continue and afterwards you will begin to feel what it is made of.

14. S. (01:18:47) We can either go to TES or we have the continuation of the writings of The Last Generation.

R. There are several more questions here, yes?

S. We have to work together in the Ten. What does it help a friend that he overcomes himself and enters an action with the group with the Ten even though he doesn't want it? What does it give it him and what does it give the Ten in that action?

R. That this friend joins the Ten that now he is already in a spiritual vessel.

S. So if the whole Ten enter a common action in a group here, we have a task we are going to do a task on a certain day and the friend resists it, he doesn’t come so it means he didn’t connect to that spiritual vessel of that Ten?

R. He does not connect to the corporeal vessel.

S. So where is this corporeal action? Where do I go from it to a spiritual action?

R. When you want to everyone be incorporated in everyone with the aim of incorporating in the Creator in this way.

S. So we're actually building an intention and this common action to give contentment to the Creator?

R. That’s obvious.

15. S. (01:20:42) What are the actions that help us go from right to left without being afraid of mistakes? Can we make mistakes on a spiritual path towards the goal in some form with the Creator?

R. Of course there are many possibilities for mistakes but if I make myself like a baby attaching myself to the friends then I have no way to make a mistake, me us all of us perhaps yes but me for myself it arranges me in such a way that I don’t cause a mistake. In other words annulment before the friends in joining you can say without my own mind joining the friends for the time being it saves me from a personal mistake.

16. S. (01:22:07) How does our common effort to unite in a group let us attain a vessel of bestowal?

R. Our effort to unite and connect in order to, from the center of our connection to bestow upon the Creator so we have the ability to bestow upon the Creator, this advances us toward it, yes.

17. S. (01:22:49) You told the friend that I can correct the right and the left if I come closer to the Creator through the right through the wholeness so if there is wholeness so what is there to correct on the right?

R. We attain the right, and we get to the right from the Left so first there has to be the left and afterwards, right. And when I am on the left I discover or reveal the deficiencies, the corruptions. I can’t get to the corruptions before that strength, so first I have to be in the right, so I move to the right, connect the friends as much as possible with the general common vessel which already has some power to correct my left, then I turn to the left and with the left I'm drawn again through the common right I draw. I pull my left to the right and in this way I get to the middle line.

18. S. (01:24:30) Why does going on the right mean to lower oneself?

R. Basically on the right line either I have no power because I annul myself or I do have power that I saw, and I allow myself in order to be incorporated in the right, but the right line does not give me powers. The left line shows in me the powers within me that I have to correct and therefore the work is left right left right.

19. S. (01:25:33) In order to reach connection do we have to reach a common left line together?

R. Common left line.. I'm not explaining now how to get to it. Each one has his own left. Normally we connect in the result from the right and the left.

20. S. (01:26:03) He writes that on the left we need to be proud that we have a desire to annul our will to receive? Why can’t we get livelihood from that? From the left line when we want to annul our will to receive.

R. When we will know the left.

S. I'll repeat again: He says we have to be proud when we are in the Left, that we have a desire to annul our will to receive, why can’t that action give us livelihood?

R. When we annul? Cancel the left?

S. I would say that this is not the goal. The Creator created the Left not in order for us to cancel it but in order for us to use it by adding it to the right and precisely by this we will establish our independent status, independent from the will to receive and connected to the purpose of creation, to the Creator. You can say that this is complete work.

21. S. (01:27:53) How to make sure that my vessel will not be contaminated, and the water will be pure?

R. This depends on the cleanness of my connection with my friends so the bucket can be filled with clean water and in this way the water pours out of the bucket. We will learn this. You are touching on an act that we have not learned yet.

22. S. (01:29:37) A person advances on the line but he cannot scrutinize which line he is in. How can he know according to his State what line he is in exactly in?

R. Right or left line should be clear to a person. Because the left line is entirely connected to the will to receive, and the right line is completely connected to the will to bestow and the combination between left and right, he comes to the middle line. The extent that he takes from the right all the power, all the strength he can, all the force of bestowal he can and adds it to the will to receive that is in the left as much as he can correct it to be in order to bestow and this way he comes to the middle line.

23. S. (01:30:54) Can we say that the left line is whole or is it the same Sitra Achra that chases us?

R. No, the left line is not Sitra Achra. Sitra Achra is what confuses us and jumps on us, and the left line is already we can take from vessels that are contradictory to bestowal, but we can work with them in order to straighten up our actions. Also, the right without the left is also not right. It can be a shell of the right. The left without correction is certainly wrong. So we need to work with these lines as with as with a train we have this handle that turns the wheel or in a bicycle it doesn't matter what machine it goes forward and backwards forward and backwards and then it has got kind of giving and receiving, giving, and receiving but in the right combination between them it does the complete correct work. Because what are we learning in the end. We learn between us a method by which to connect to the Creator and perform a common act with him. It is exactly like, like on the train. This is how it works. Therefore without negativity and not positivity it is impossible and only the right combination between them brings us into wholeness. So do our efforts change our operation change? No. What changes is the intention. The why I am doing it, with what I am incorporated in these actions. This is actually what changes and until I come to a state where I want to perform these actions right, left, right, Left so that what I am left with is only the intention and that is the end of correction, this is how we can describe it.

S. How can I differ correctly between the Left and all the other thoughts that come to my mind?

R. The left line in the meantime we can depict as anything that hinders us, interferes with our connection, that is for the time being.
