Part 3:
The 15th of Av: the Day of Love - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #12
1. R. Yes, well like we're learning here in all of The Wisdom Kabbalah and all of reality, we as created beings can discover every matter from its opposite. Therefore, if we are talking about a day of love, let’s say, or in general the goal of the Creator is bringing all of the created beings to a state of love; so it means there has to be first of all great hatred and disappointment until we reach a state that ‘love covers all the hatred’.
Reading Excerpt # 12 (01:02)
2. S. (03:01) The purpose of the Creator is to bring all the created beings into love so I guess there has to be great hatred and disappointment first, and unfortunately we see that every day in the public on the streets, is that enough in order to reach it?
R. I don't think so, I don't think so. First of all we have seen outbursts of hatred that are much bigger than they are here, and I don't think this is about here: Humanity needs to know how to correctly reveal love if it’s in front of us and we need to reach it. So what is that saying payment, that same quality that we need to discover in order to discover this love? Only hatred does not help, but we need to be in the correct mind and heart in order to arrange our individual vessels and in their connection more inclusive vessels, to be against love and for love until we will reach in its complete form and to bring it closer to her both and it's good mind and it's bad mind in a way that we are satisfied by the Creator that gave us all of the means to understand this complete and eternal connection between us.
3. S. (05:35) What is love actually, Is it light or a vessel? What is it?
R. Love means that I'm caring for the vessels of the other just like I care for my own vessels or even more.
S. It's passing the light on what is it?
R. That you can already add.
4. S. (06:18) He writes something very nice here that this is our work to display love between us each and every day just as upon receiving, meaning to increase and multiply the intellect with many additions to the core until the additional blessings of now will be touching the senses. So what is he saying if we don't come to the morning listen we lost it, what does it mean?
R. That we need every moment in our lives to run after the revelation of love between us, in all forms and manners.
S. What I feel he's saying is that there's no magic solution that suddenly will get it and that's it?
R. Be careful not to speak nonsense.
S. It doesn't come suddenly you have to work everyday every, every morning and gather and gather until your senses will be sharped and you will receive it?
R. Right.
S. So that's what he's talking about?
R. Yes.
S. So what does he mean that is not clear, that the senses get sharpened by doing a lot? What does it mean?
R. That, the more you enter to realize this condition of love, you will feel how much you're still lacking.
5. S. (07:57) How can we increase the quality of our prayer in order to adapt to increasing the Aviut that we experiencing?
R. If we are embracing each other and wanting to find common words from our mutual heart to the mutual Creator, then we will succeed. Only in such a way.
6. S. (08:41) I have more of a statement than a question. If I'm allowed I'm sorry if I'm interrupting the lesson but I actually received the message from a dear friend…
R. One sentence.
S. So, the friend is actually receiving missiles over her head and she doesn't have anywhere to hide, she lives and fear all the day and all night so I was thinking about praying for that friend. Because since we’re talking about love, let's increase that love that this will stop and that this will reach an end, instead of living in this fear, that's all I've got to say. Thank you.
R. We can increase our love to all our friends. If we want to embrace them in one Kli, all of us together around the whole planet, so that it will be included in us, in our hearts. That our hearts include all of the hearts of our friends from all over the world; and that they will feel there that they are in a state that satisfies them in all of their demands in a complete way.
7. S. (10:30) Regarding love in a ten, if there are two brothers that have corporeal love for one another and in a conflict they always back one another, how can my love compare to their love and their love is an obstacle in the group?
R. You will have to complete them, to reach the full state of love, and with your concern for them to connect properly and nicely by that you will feel that you acted correctly and that they are in a state of joy and inclined to it.
8. S. (11:43) What actions do we have to do and turn to the Creator with, to advance from this opposite state to the next desired state?
R. We need to give up on reaching something with our own strength. We need to connect ourselves in a circle with all of our friends, all around the world; and we need in this circle that we are forming, we need to accept each and everyone regardless of what type or kind or color or what, that each one that wants to be in that circle that is a circle of love only; that each one isn’t concerned about a thing other than giving the others the force of love that comes from the Creator to us, and is spread around all of this area between us and this area between us is what connects our hearts. If we want to reach that state? That is enough. Of course we do not actualize it, but if we only want this to happen; then the Creator will finish the job for us, and by that we can reach this correct realization.
Reading Excerpt #13 (14:11)
9. S. (16:05) In the previous excerpt and this one he explains the process of the need, he writes about the gift that the one who receives the gift he has to renew it everyday, and here he's speaking about the clothing of love, so it's like something that is already in us so how can we keep awakening it? How to reveal this gift of love that is already in us, in each one of us? How to show it on the outside?
R. On the outside I don't know, if you just mean on the outside? But towards our organization, towards all our friends around the world that, we need to discover it every single day
S. I meant towards the friends in the ten. He's saying that he already attained some clothing of love and he sees that the friends are with him and working with him, so how to awaken that in each one of us this gift we got from the Creator?
R. First of all without words; I want to act in my heart that it will work on each and every heart of each and every friend, and that is how we connect and feel the influence of the hearts. Other than that we have our conversations, our meetings and our study.
S. It is something that we, you said first all in the heart, so how's we awaken this in the heart? first I have to think how to awaken it in the friend or in my own heart?
R. I awaken this in my heart first, to influence from my heart to the general heart; and in such a way I direct this general heart to influence a certain heart, and by that I try to cure the heart of the friend. It has a lot of actions to it but mainly when we all make an effort then it works, it completes one another.
10. S. (19:53) Kabbalists explaining to us that the work to attain love, is what's going to give us the equivalence of form with the Creator, He's called love so when we are in love with Him we will be in equivalence of form. So there are a lot of types of love, there’s work in the ten between the friends, and there's what we call love to the world being Incorporated in the public sorrow, so it's also the type of love we have to acquire and in ten. So the question is why is the main work in the ten, why is love towards something that isn't in the ten considered less?
R. You have to reach a connection in the ten, the feelings of love that are in it includes everyone; that instead of ten or nine you will feel that you have a ‘sea of love’ and you can enter it and be there above time.
S. The question is why specifically in the ten?
R. That is your obligation. Period. That is your obligation.
S. What about all created beings?
R. Afterwards when you have an example of how to be included in the ten, you can then go and be included in the general public.
S. Is it not the opposite?
R. No no. The opposite is false, is a lie.
11. S. (21:51) Question about the need for faith in order to reach love.
R. Yes.
S. He writes, after I've already acquired the clothing, then he says, I think and then he says, as if, and then he says he thinks that my eyes see and declare there's no reality. So it's like on one hand there is an attainment, there are things that he isn't attaining, there is a declaration, how do these things combine? Faith and love?
R. I don't know if we can now scrutinize this. There's a problem, we haven't yet attained this nor that in order to start scrutinizing the connection between it.
12. S. (23:05) This letter is so great that the truth is so great there. One of the expressions there is that what is important is the goal, it’s the deed of love, in the ten we have to hold this importance and how to make this clothing, so we want to maybe read the entire letter?
R. Okay.
13. S. (23:46) When the friends awaken everyday anew, they bring me out of the corporeal world, they force me to work on love of friends between us. Can we always be in the state of awakening in the ten and our society?
R. That is necessary to be that way. I need to check myself, am I in it, If I am consistently towards that direction with everyone? I especially need to understand that in this Kli of everyone, is the Creator, and I want to reach Him as the main central point of this vessel. That's it.
14. S. (25:05) When I feel that the friend doesn't need my gift, what should I do?
R. It can't be, it can't be. That means you need to think of how they need to accept this gift and how you need to serve it to them?
S. I guess that is the problem. Yesterday we read article 40 from Rabash and he writes a lot about gifts. It seems like concrete practical work and it's not like some nice theory but it is serious practical work to give gifts. So it's clear we have to do it on a daily level, so how do we give these gifts and how to receive the gifts? for now we don't feel as much as each one of us loves sweet or sour like he writes. So what do we do with it? It’s a problem.
R. First of all you need to feel the necessity, to serve each friend what he requires; otherwise it's not a gift. You need to feel that you're taking it from yourself and giving it to him. it is a replacement of vessels, of desires with which you can work better than you. And after that, the main thing is that these gifts will replace all of the desires that exist in the world; everything we take from ourselves and give to others will be the general Kli in which we reveal the Creator.
S. May ask another question? What I feel now is that I have this accumulation of forces that I can use and give to the friends, and parts I can't give to the friends. What I can formulate correctly that is the right gift? Let's say I give these forces to disseminate so I want to understand as much as it is a good compensation, I feel great fulfillment that in the past I couldn't give to the friends and it weakened me, I felt bad from it, now I can devote those forces in dissemination and it fills me, is that right?
R. It doesn't compensate for it, but it's a necessary stage In the process of the preparation of the vessel until it's complete unification.
S. Could be that my dissemination towards the external public become a gift for the ten in some way?
R. It is possible, but it needs to be taken Into account in advance.
