Part 2:

Rabash. Article No. 7, 1988. What Is the Importance of the Groom, that His Iniquities Are Forgiven?

Reading Article: (00:30) “Our sages said, ‘Three are forgiven…’”

M. Laitman: (35:51) Thank you, Any questions? Well, questions? None. What do you have? What's with you? You don't know what to do.

Student: (36:06) I wanted to bring my impression that we learned Baal HaSulam's article, The Introduction to the Book of Zohar. It's like he there describes the upper roots, and here the Rabash makes a connection between the corporeal branch, how to approach the studies, not just the flow but to actually connect us to those states, that we can receive them correctly. It's a very strong impression.

M. Laitman: Okay, we will attain this once. Who's there? Yes, please. 

Student: (36:53) A question about faith. He writes that there are two types of approach, the house of Shammai and the house of Hillel. The house of Shammai, he says it's the way it is, that you don't have to find any praise, even if he doesn't feel importance. He takes it upon himself, and Beit Hillel says that she is pious and fair, and then he interprets in Beit Hillel. So, it changes in a person, or are there times that it's this way, and times that it's that way? How does it work, this approach? 

M. Laitman: What is the question about? 

Student: About faith, how to accept it. I can just repeat what is said here.

M. Laitman: Yes, please.

Student: He says about faith that there is an approach, that Beit Shammai says, as it is. Meaning, according to the importance he feels, that's what he takes upon himself, the faith. That you don't have to find any praise, but even if he doesn't feel any importance, he takes the faith upon himself. That's Beit Shammai. Beit Hillel says that the fair and pious bride should be interpreted as that a person should say about what he sees, they have eyes and shall not see. What he hears, he has to say they have ears and shall not hear. That seeing is not specifically in the eyes, but there's seeing in thought. So, I don't understand the differences between those approaches.

M. Laitman: Well, continue, mister. 

Student: That's the question.

M. Laitman: Yes, continue.

Student: What will continue reading? 

M. Laitman: We'll continue reading. Yes. 

Reader Continues: (39:11) "You're seeing in thought, and the…"

Student: (40:34) It's not clear, because in two cases he doesn't understand the importance of faith, but Beit Shammai says he won't. 

M. Laitman: He doesn't need to understand. He needs to determine.  According to what does he determine? 

Student: In both cases, he doesn't take his senses into account. His ears and his intellect. 

M. Laitman: The intellect.

Student: Yes, the intellect, the reason, what's the difference between one another?

Student: (41:15) I have the same question.

M. Laitman: What should he do?

Student: He says, Beit Shammai as it is, as he feels her importance, that's how he can accept faith.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: That he doesn't have to find any praise in her. But even though he doesn't feel any importance in her, he takes what he should believe. That this is all the praise. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If we could take the work on himself to believe that this is his will. And he should not look for any praise, just believe and take it as coercion. 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: That's Beit Shammai. To say that she is pious and fair, they have eyes, and they shall not see. 

M. Laitman: Meaning we attained. 

Student: So, that's the question. 

M. Laitman: Okay. So, with this question, we bid farewell.

Student: (42:34) I wanted to ask, during the day, every ten makes a preparation for the next day and reads an article as a preparation. What is the right thing for us to read for tomorrow as a preparation for the lesson? Should we read Rabash or from the introduction to the book of Zohar that we started today?

M. Laitman: We started the introduction to the book of Zohar. Now the question is, in which articles are we in general? We finished all the articles.

Student: We finished all the articles of Rabash or Baal HaSulam. We have about another 40 Rabash articles. 

M. Laitman: Oh, we do? 

Student: Part of them will be about Purim and Passover that we're going to read in the next month

M. Laitman: Well, I'm not talking about the holidays. Because toward the holidays, we have to renew things. So, see for yourselves how much time we have until the holiday and how much material there is for it and divide it this way and see from when. That's it.

Student: Tomorrow in the lesson we'll start with the introduction of the Book of Zohar as we did today. Then we'll read a Rabash article. That we haven't read yet in this current turnaround. 

M. Laitman: Yes, Ok.

Student: During the day, when a Ten has, let’s say a half hour to sit and read an article to prepare for the next lesson, what should they read? The introduction of Baal HaSulam or the Rabash article? What more right, what will prepare us better for the lesson?

M. Laitman: I think the Introduction of Baal HaSulam. That’s it.

Student: So, what preparations in general, I’m asking now? What preparations should the whole world Kli can do in order to receive more from the Rav in the lessons that you’ll be able to open more?

M. Laitman: It's only the connection between us. I don't have anything else to do. We talked about all kinds of states, we learned these things. Now from the introduction of Rabash and Baal HaSulam, especially, you will advance to faith above reason.

Student: The introduction of Baal HaSulam it’s like a bridge. It's like a renewing towards something new and great. What is special in our time? Towards what corrections are we going to?

M. Laitman: We are in the periods of corrections, truly corrections, here we have Purim and Passover. This whole period is a very blessed period. That's it. 

Student: What should be our emphasis on this time? 

M. Laitman: We should place emphasis as we learn now; In what way should our Kli, our vessel be in order to receive directly from the study, from the Creator, the bestower, and the influence. That’s it.

Student: (46:49) For a long time we start the lesson with a Rabash article, 40-50, minutes of reading and then go to the Baal HaSulam readings. It seems that the ability to absorb and to understand in the beginning of the lesson is higher than the second part. Why do we change it that we're starting from Baal HaSulam and then going to Rabash?

M. Laitman: I thought that you decided this.

Student: (47:38) We asked you what we should do, and you said we should start with the introduction. We asked you a few times. You said it was more fundamental and that's what we should read now.

M. Laitman: From Baal HaSulam? Yes.

Student: (48:07) How does disease Mahalat connect to forgiveness? He plays with those words there.

M. Laitman: I don't know.

Student: Why isn't faith a gift?

M. Laitman: Faith should also be acquired.

Student: (48:49) Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel sound like two degrees of above reason. Is that the way it is? Like above reason only in bestowing and Beit Hillel is only to receive. Receiving in order to bestow?

M. Laitman: We will scrutinize this throughout the discussions. They are present one opposite the other. 

Student: (49:29) Does a person correct himself and by that correct the whole world?

M. Laitman: I don't know. I guess yes, but I don't know what you think about this.
