Part 1:

(00:35) Rabash. Article No. 8, 1988. What Does It Mean that One Who Prays Should Explain His Words Properly?

1. S. (18:30) He writes that he prays that the Creator will give him the feeling and that he will see that everything he does the Creator enjoys, The thought that we don't ask to see that our deeds are correct because then it is that I get proof within reason but here he says come and ask and you will see that you are actually giving contentment, it’s all good this really gives you the strength to advance what does he mean? Should I read it?

R. (19:20) What do you think? Who can answer him?

S. (19:26) Do you think that a deed is above reason here meaning the deed Laban comes to him and says ah forget about it anyway whatever you do is going to be for me there’s no point in even trying. After the act Esau comes and says look your perfect, forget about it you shouldn’t even criticize and check the deed will always be above the reason the act is not something that we do, so it's not just an act, every such act is a whole world.

R. Someone else thinks differently or agrees? well that's how it is? You'll have to read it again.

Reading Again ( 20:37)“ The Zohar brings evidence that one...”

2. S. (39:02) How can a person scrutinize what he's lacking right now? Maybe he himself doesn't know or is confused about what's missing. How should a person figure out what he's missing right now?

R. But he went through certain states and he feels the environment to where he is to a certain extent. Out of calculating with respect to his environment with the states that he went through he can already say something about himself.

S. If a person is confused by the evil inclination then he's asking correctly the Creator helps him and arranges his prayer or he simply answers according to what he needs and not according to what he asks?

R. According to what the person asks this is how the Creator answers but besides that he adds to him a few points to the person's state so that a person will advance. What is the add? A few gripping points

S. What are points to grip on?

R. That a person will know more about where he is.

S. From the perspective of the Creator, what does it mean a concealed prayer and a prayer that is a prayer potential and a prayer that is scrutinized?

R. A prayer that is scrutinized means that a person can already learn in a way that the Creator is clarifying it to him. A prayer in general, is what a person does he feels in the state.

S. He writes that the evil inclination comes in different garments, how to recognize it because every time it's different.

S. How can a person recognize the garment of the evil inclination?

R. BY wanting to get closer to the Creator and wanting to raise prayer for it he the other side he feels how he's still in the opposite state and this is what arranges for him the request for the next prayer.

3. S. (42:22) It turns out that in every stage a person will have two prayers. One before the action and one after the action. Before the action, a person should understand that he needs to ask the Creator to succeed in doing this action for the Creator and not for himself. Even though the evil inclination is telling him to relax, everything's fine but no no need to exert. After the act he needs to say everything is done but for the sake of the Creator I want to get nothing. A few things come up here: If the evil inclination people listen to him he's aiming a person in the right direction if he understands how the evil inclinations are playing with him, so why is he called evil inclination?

R. Because it pulls the person to the opposite direction.

S. All right, but if a person is already on the path and studying let's say he for instance the work how he needs to work so the evil inclination is no longer the evil inclination is help against, as we call it?

R. Help against is the evil inclination.

S. I'm not sure how to ask it, how to be aware of this help so that we will know how to work correctly all the time. What gives a person the understanding of how to work properly because it describes an algorithm in this article. That's not how we see things all the time we constantly get lost and these twists and turns with evil inclination will give a person to stand and say oh now I understand where I am what I need to ask for we always say that the society but it says if the society, but it is as if to say it's not mentioned and how to reach this good result in the end? Every moment I know how to do the work and the other direction?

R. Does anyone have an answer?

4. S. (42:25) Everything he says here in the article is when a person wants to do something good. Where to do this scrutiny if not in the Ten, That's what he's talking about. That beforehand here is the intention: What to do for myself, or not. The ego is punishing me with these outcomes and he wants to show me that everything's fine and good and I'm in wholeness wholeness, I think this is what the articles about?

R. Well maybe, maybe I don't see that anyone else wants to add.

5. S.(46:11) I want to say that this is the fourth time that I've been reading it, 3 times yesterday and now it's another time, it's unbelievable. I feel like the matter here is the prayer, That's the main thing. The prayer before the action and the prayer after the action and the evil inclination always pulls the person in the opposite direction. He's pulling in the opposite direction but before the action he says forget about it, you're not going to, in the end everything is for me. All the benefits are for me and a person prays to see where he can do to ask for the power from the Creator to do and after the action it's the opposite and he says, oh you done it, it's all good. The person says no, the goal is to reach the given contentment to the Creator. Not to just say that I've done something. That's what he's asking, to have the power. I think the article focuses on how to turn to the Creator properly and ask for the right request in every state and here the evil inclination is showing him the opposite of what he needs to do.

R. What does it mean to explain his words properly?

S. Exactly to understand what the evil inclination wants from him and to go the opposite direction. Otherwise it will be a theoretical request not a true request. He's showing him exactly where to ask,

R. Anyone else?

6. S. (48:15) To ask properly as I understand, it's not to raise a precise prayer to ask properly is to ask for his prayer to be received not that I could say A, B, C, D but rather properly meaning it should be accepted simply.

R. You mean that it will be accepted?

S. I want my prayer to be received, accepted by the Creator but I don't have to say it in a certain order. I never know the exact order. I just asked the Creator to receive my prayer for it to be worthy to be accepted by Him.

S. Yeah that he will do everything?

R. He will do everything.

7. S. (49:15) It turns out to interpret his words properly it is not about the deficiency but about the adhesion. What's the point of this game of life because if I understand after this entire roundabout we have to cleave to the Creator and be there in adhesion?.

R. That we scrutinize this conditions for the adhesion with the Creator.

S. The deficiency from which we started this process, simply infrastructure for reaching adhesion is not interesting in and of itself it's not what the story is about, is it correct to look at it this way?

R. That's possible.

S. It totally different view on life on reality and what's happening with us.

R. Well that's it, okay we have more here.

8. S. (50:24) I didn't get an answer

R. Wait, maybe you'll hear it later and you have another friend here.

9. S. ( 50:40) As far as I am concerned even though the main part is after the action the effect is the sub. The fact that we always add on the right in order to raise the importance of the society but how together with that, we have to live with the fear of the sin of Hubris which is in our essence and we have to ask and pray for that as well. I think in my eyes that's the innovation of this article.

R. Okay, fine let's see.

10. S. (51:24) A question from the friend. How can a person determine that the friend's spiritual deficiency?

R. The spiritual needs of the friend?

S. Yes.

R. Out of what he feels in himself maybe, this is how he can say that the friend has made me, what kind of deficiency? However it is greater. I'm not sure what to say about the friend, what kind of deficiency the friend has, what kind of deficiency no to judge the friend to the scale of merit, on the side of merit that is something else.

11. S. (52:38) Should the prayer be above reason?

R. Prayer should be the above reason, yes. The prayer should be entirely in order to bestow in order to advance and enter Lishma.

12. S. (53:17) If I understand correctly, what Laban says, yes I lack everything but I don't need you that and he saw on the other hand says that I'm happy with my lot and everything I need and I don't need to do anything to find a deficiency.

R. Yes.

S. I understand that Laban says I don't need you and that's why he doesn't have a need for the Creator but you saw says and a cell says I don't believe the Creator because I have everything I need

R. Both of them don't need the Creator.

S. Exactly the evil inclination pushes you away from the Creator but a person how should he arrange his deficiency during these two states?

R. Good question, it's a good question.

13. S. (54:23) Laban says see he saw says, here is the difference don't believe in what you see and what you hear?

R. I can't hear you, what's with your microphone?

S. Laban says see the daughters that are mine and Esau says here listen they say they have eyes but don't hear and I said don't see in ears. Laban says listen, he is asking if we have any connection? t

R. Yes these are different vessels. Yes, he talks about it a little bit the author.

S. Is it correct choice between all of them?

R. Make sure the microphone. We can't really scrutinize things this way.

14. S. (55:39) This processor or the scrutiny has two poles: the destination and the point of departure. The destination is adhesion and the point of departure is the recognition of evil, if I don't incriminate myself this is something that I found in me that prevents me from reaching adhesion and I don't have anything to pray for. The prayer is incorrect..

R. Okay, fine

15. S. (56:25) Laban's argument, how do you deal with it ? Isn' our obligation to demand Lishma before the action or was it correct to say that I'll do it in Lo Lishma because from Lo Lishma will come to Lishma?

R. This depends on the state that you're in and what you're capable of.

S. I got it. The question is if a person, Lishma sounds impossible so I don't quite understand how is it that, in Laban there's this righteous person who can reach Lishma and I never get there and also despair and is this the idea behind Laban?

R. Does anyone understand what he is asking?

S. The question is why is it Laban? Why is his name Laban? Is Laban white ideal of sorts and you're not in it you're not going to reach it is that the idea?

R. Yes.

16. S. (57:52) He says here that a person has to scrutinize the order of the work so he'll know clearly what to pray for since some other person is praying for the opposite of what he needs, so how does that happen? What does it mean to pray for something the opposite of you? How do I raise that?

R. How do you pray for something that you lack?

S. No, he says here a person himself needs to scrutinize the order of his work so I will know clearly what to pray for but sometimes a person prays for the opposite of what he's lacking. I'm asking in our work in the Ten to work in connection for the connection for the prayer so how does it work that I eventually play for something that I don't lack for the opposite?

R. How can you pray for something that you don't lack?

S. That's what I'm asking here. How to do the correct scrutiny because he says that the state here where a person makes this wrong scrutiny praise for the opposite of what he needs.

R. The fact that you adhere to the environment then you get deficiencies from them and then you pray for those deficiencies, not for the deficiency that you had to begin with.

S. The order of the work is when I receive the scrutinies of Laban or Esau, I always have to ignore the go above reason and go for connection and pray for what's in the center and adhere and not to what appears to be in my reality?

R. Yes, actually this is the solution.
