Selected Excerpts From The Book “Yosher Divrei Emet” , #12
75. R. We are reminding you that this is a book written by great Kabbalists a few hundred years ago of the students of Baal Shem Tov, a special group, very strong, very meticulous about keeping between them all of the devices in order to reach the revelation of the Creator. ....

76. S. () What does he mean when he says that our mouth in our heart shall be equal?
R. In one intention all of us, each of us of course in his own style out of his own desire he cannot change it, but we can attach the intentions to one another so that we will be in one intention, The vessel where the Creator is revealed. You have 10 people each with a different desire, completely we have no idea just how different and we need to discover the mutual force of bestowal between us. We add ourselves to this mutual bestowal between us and in the mutual bestowal we find in general the common force as he says that our prayer is to reach the common force between us which is the Creator.
S. We don't have that today we haven't attained out yet?
R. Of course, we don't have that we don't even have the desire for it.
S. Is it attainable?
R. They tell you how to aim our desire, to aim our opinion to give all our strength to have an honest intention that our mouths and our hearts will be the same in love and fear because by this the Creator will accept our prayer and operate in them the required operation although we will not know what the work of our hands has done for us. The main thing is connection. He starts from connection what will come later is the result of that.
S. Only then he will receive our prayers where our mouths in our hearts are equal?
R. We have to show him our correct deficiency then inside this deficiency he will be revealed, he will be revealed not only him but the spiritual world, the eternal world, everything will be revealed inside our correct deficiency.
S. What is the right deficiency in the group?
R. When you don't want for yourself but for others.

77. S. (11:48) He is actually saying that no one understands what it speaks about here, what do you do?
R. Do understand means to attain, if you don't attain what you can understand? So you philosophize like all of the wise people of the world to the extent that a person attains the Creator, only then can you speak of understanding where he is otherwise that is what it is.
78. S. (12:28) It appears when we read these texts, it touches the heart in another way as from the text of Baal HaSulam or Rabash, Is this the right scrutiny and how do we understand the benefit in this?
R. To awaken the hearts a little bit, not more than that.
79. S. (13.05) How can Torah be pure and whole and also so complex that it includes it all?
R. It is all relative to a person, the Torah is the upper light that is in absolute rest and sustains all of reality, when we try to absorb it, receive it in our vessels to understand, as we write various interpretations of the Torah.
Excerpt 15 Reader (13:43 - 18:53)
R. That's how we should check ourselves as well. Are we thinking about the Creator and through him we are seeing the world and constantly comparing one to the other? It doesn’t matter what we do or what we forget and in this world we are completely fallen in the pit of ours here.
80. S. (19:40) Is there some story about the Baal Shem Tov that we can read?
R. This is why we have to ask our friends who manage our archive for them to find something for you to read in different languages. They should create a section in the archive, additional books other than our study material for beginners in different languages as much as possible. There are many books they just have to be sorted to show the people what is possible to learn. You have to understand that they are not written in the way that Baal HaSulam and Rabash writes, as each write in their own style but it is clear what they write and we will be able to understand soon completely, all of the Kabbalists books, all the language of Kabbalah all that they wish to say will be clear to us, we are entering very seriously into this profession.
