235“From Your actions we shall know You” is the state in which a person gradually comes to know the actions of the Creator through each of his or her own efforts, in descents and ascents. After all, I want to be connected with the Creator in every state.

It is precisely in the bad states that I begin to understand how He governs me, plays with me, and confuses me. From this, I begin to feel that He is confusing and deceiving, not me, but my desire to receive, through which He accomplishes all of this.

Then I treat the desire to receive like a tool, a vessel, a Kli. There is “me” and the Kli. In that moment, the head (Rosh) and the body (Guf) of the Partzuf appear.

282.01Question: Throughout the day, we send each other messages about how important the path and the goal are for us. Everyone is impressed by this, but everyone understands that it is a game. How can we stop perceiving it like a game?

Answer: If we have agreed among ourselves to ignite each other with the awareness of the greatness of the goal, we must understand whether we are deceiving ourselves or not. We are deceiving ourselves; we don’t know the goal; we don’t know its importance.

But we want to “sell” it to ourselves. If someone comes and sells me something, he knows it is deception, but he gets paid for it, so it makes sense for him to deceive me. Here, the question arises: am I so perfect as to know that within me is the evil inclination, an egoism that I must counter with a false image and thereby confuse my evil inclination?

This depends on how honest I am with myself. What does that mean? I am something neutral that wants to advance toward the Creator. I stand between my evil and good inclinations and want to bring my desires, which are essentially alien to me, to correction. As it is said: “I have created the evil inclination” (I did not create it, the Creator did) “I have created the Torah as a spice.” This means that through my actions, I can come to the correction of desires that are foreign to me.

I must see myself as separate from my nature, from my body, from all my desires, and then I will not work on confusing myself by swallowing the lies of advertising, but will advertise to myself. I will “sell” my evil inclination the advertisement that the Creator is great. I must treat my egoism as a third party. And then it will not be a lie. It will truly be in my hands. Don’t identify yourself with the evil inclination as if you and it are the same.

Question: Will I eventually be able to completely separate the evil inclination from myself?

Answer: No, you must work with it. If egoism does not speak within you, who will push you forward? Every time you see obstacles and feel various thoughts and problems directed against the goal and the greatness of the Creator, this is essentially help so that you will search for His greatness.

263Question: There is a law that if you do not have a spiritual Kli, you will not be given the next degree. Why is the desire to receive increased if there is no correction for it?

Answer: The point is that the desire to receive must be added to you until you can no longer tolerate it! Until you define it as evil!

If you want to be given 10 grams of desire to receive, you will correct it;  if you are given another 20 grams, you will correct the 20 grams.

In this way, you will become a corrected animal, become like an angel. “Here I am, 10 grams for the sake of bestowal. Here I am, 20 grams for the sake of bestowal. Here I am, 30 grams for the sake of bestowal.”

A machine works like that without any recognition of evil!

If you recognize your evil by 20 grams, then by 30, and so on, and correct it accordingly, you will not feel how opposite you are to the Creator! You will not have a state of oppositeness of form, and you will not be able to desire the Creator enough to cling to Him and love Him infinitely. For this, you must reach a state infinitely opposite to Him.

All our development must lead to this. Another 1,000 years, 2,000, it does not matter how long, but you must reach the point where you will hate all your qualities. When you see them in the light of the Torah, you will hate them with immense hatred, like Mount Sinai.

537Question: You said that a person must understand this system we exist in. Then everything start to fall into place for him?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: We can say that the world is interconnected, but we cannot really picture this. Is it actually like that?

Answer: It is like that, yes.

Comment: And these connections are, as you said, benevolent.

My Response: These connections are benevolent, and they do not end in this world. They continue in the next one as well. Therefore, we must also understand where we are, and how we are included in one another, how this kind of interplay happens between us, so that we have no way out. We have to be in a good state toward each other all the time.

Question: Meaning, I leave and return, leave and return, and everything is within this system?

Answer: Yes, everything is within this system. This is what is meant by saying that there is no death, so to speak, and everything is infinite.

Comment: That is beautiful! How can a person grasp this?

My Response: There is no need to, it is very difficult.

Question: But will he come to this understanding?

Answer: Yes, we must be prepared for this, but on the other hand, we must be ready for this and understand that it will be better for us this way. We must not look at it as a tremendous obligation.
