What does it mean that the correction should be in the form of awe, Kelim of bestowal? The fact is that if we get pleasure in the desire to receive, this pleasure instantly cancels the desire.

For example, when we are hungry and start eating, we experience pleasure from food. But gradually, as we become satiated, the pleasure fades, and even from more delicious things, we no longer feel the same pleasure as from the very first bite.

This is all because the pleasure, filling the desire to receive, cancels out the lack (Hisaron) to the same extent. As soon as the Kli reaches saturation, it ceases to feel that it is filled.

We feel the same way when, for example, we chase after a purchase or strive for something, dream about it for a year or two, achieve it, and, after a week or two, it becomes ordinary. The pleasure filled the Kli, and the Hisaron, the hunger, disappears.

In order for the pleasure to be not accidental, temporary, fleeting, but eternal, it must grow with the fulfillment and not decrease or disappear altogether.

On the contrary, the greater the filling, the more the enjoyment, and they will literally be able to help each other by increasing each other. How can we do it? If the intention, which is added to the desire to receive, becomes for the sake of giving, the Kli will receive a state above time, place, and space.

What does it mean? Even if my place, my Hisaron, my “stomach,” is filled, but my intention as I fill it is to give, then I will have even more appetite to give.

Above time means that the more I get filled, my Hisaron, my appetite, my hunger, will not decrease but only grow as I am able to give more.

Therefore, in addition to the desire to receive, we must add the concept of intention, since intentions make the desire to receive something eternal, something that does not cancel out before the light that fills it but, on the contrary, turns it into a semblance of light. This is the teaching of the science of Kabbalah, the science that teaches how to receive for the sake of giving.

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 1/7/26, Rabash, “Concerning Fear and Joy”

On the spiritual path, there are guidelines that lead us to final correction. This path is divided into corrections, the first of which is called Ira—fear or awe.

In The Book of Zohar, a question is asked: where can this awe come from if the Creator is good and does good, if He is perfect and above all calculations for Himself? Why then should a person fear Him? It does not befit the Creator, who abides in absolute perfection, to act in a way that causes fear. How can this be?

The Zohar explains that there is a kind of fear called fear on the level of our world, when a person fears punishments for himself and for his family in this world. Moreover, he fears what will happen to him in the world to come, although this is already a higher concept. Nevertheless, it is still fear of punishment.

But when a person corrects his Kelim into Kelim of bestowal and acquires a screen (Masach), then he ceases to fear the Creator altogether, because he sees that He is good and does good. The Creator is revealed to him, and he begins to understand that even before he felt fear not because the Creator exists and can punish him, but because within his uncorrected Kelim he feared receiving punishment. In truth, there is no such thing as punishment from above. Separation from the Creator is itself the punishment.

And so, a person comes to another kind of fear—to awe that he may be unable to bestow. This essentially is correction itself; it is the thing that gives him the ability to build the Kelim of bestowal of his soul. In the revelation of this awe, a person receives the filling called love. Thus, love is the result of awe.

To the extent that he fears being unable to bestow, the light fills him and conveys a sensation of love to him, a feeling of similarity to the Creator, equivalence with Him in qualities, unity and adhesion with the Creator. Therefore, the concept of awe is correction. Because initially we are created with a desire to receive, and it must be for the sake of bestowal; otherwise, we will not feel delight.

Question: How can I check whether I am applying effort correctly?

Answer: How to check whether your effort is correct? There are many ways to check this. First of all is whether you want it or not. Usually, what you do not want may be the correct thing. Secondly, whether it is respected in the eyes of the friends. Check it in relation to what is written in the primary sources and to what the teacher says.

Before the Machsom, we have no clear system by which we can examine and evaluate ourselves. Essentially you are asking where that standard is against which you could check yourself and see how much, more or less, you correspond to it, or on the contrary, do not correspond.

Before you enter the spiritual world, this is not revealed to you. This is why it is called “concealment.”

But you can evaluate yourself in relation to your will to receive, in relation to the group and the teacher; at least in this way you can test yourself. It is not for nothing that it is said: “Do not trust yourself until the day of your death.” As long as your egoism has not died, you can make mistakes—terrible, foolish mistakes, and even the simplest ones. And here is what is interesting.

You keep making mistakes again and again, as if in the same situations, which seem simple. How can this be? You went through such big things, you did not get confused, you managed them somehow, and suddenly you fall into some foolishness again?

That is how it is. We do not know the degrees. It seems to us that each degree is like this. No. They can appear to you in a very simple, natural form. You suddenly become like an infant who stands and cries from having lost his mother.

All periods before the Machsom are like this. After it, everything depends on the screen, on the degree to which you are merged with the Creator.

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson, 1/8/26, Rabash, “Concerning the Reward of the Receivers”

We will yet become convinced that all the negativity that has existed throughout all times among all peoples was only suffering caused by our distancing ourselves from each other and not understanding how, on the contrary, we should be drawing closer together. And now all this suffering will manifest in us and push us toward connection. And then we will be grateful for them and will understand that there is only happiness in the world and one movement toward the light.

Question: And this is happening?

Answer: It is already happening now.

Question: Everything that is happening, is it all a movement toward happiness and light?

Answer: Yes, everything that is happening.
