Part 1 Lesson on the topic of Crown the King over Us
Hello, we are in a lesson on the topic of Crowning the King over Us. We're going to read selected excerpts from the sources. We are in excerpt number two. The study material is on Sviva Tova and the Arvut system. You can also send questions live through the sites. Anyone asking a question in the study hall should stand up, hold the microphone close to his mouth, and speak loudly and clearly.
Reading Excerpt # 2: (00:44) Rabash, Article No. 1 (1991), "What Is, 'We Have No Other King but You,' in the Work?
“Our Father, our King, we have no other king but You.” In other words, only the Creator can help make Him our king, so we can work because we are serving the King, and this is our reward, that we have the privilege of serving the King. This means that only then can we do everything for the sake of the Creator.
In other words, if the Creator does not give him this power, to feel that “we have a great King,” he has no strength to work for the sake of the Creator, for the body claims, “What will you get from bestowing upon the Creator?” In other words, as long as the will to receive dominates, a person is powerless. Sometimes he doubts the beginning, meaning says that now he sees that he has worked in vain and did not gain anything by his labor. Now he really sees that all his work was to no avail.
Therefore, when the Creator helps him and gives him the desire to bestow, and he feels that he has a great King, only the Creator can give this. This is the meaning of what is written, “Our Father, our King, we have no other king but You.” Namely, “Only You can make us feel that we have a great King, and it is worthwhile to work for Him, to bring Him contentment.”
M. Laitman: (03:05) Read again.
Re-reading Excerpt # 2: (03:11) Rabash, Article No. 1 (1991), "What Is, 'We Have No Other King but You,' in the Work?
M. Laitman: (5:34) In this state we come. That's how we turn to the Creator. That's how we reply, respond to the Creator for letting us feel where we are, what relationships, what place, and in this way, we come to the connection with Him.
Question Women Petah Tikva Center): (06:30) He says the reward is that he is serving the king and the Creator is the one who gives him the strength to feel that the Creator is a great king. Afterwards he says that a person sees that he works for nothing. What does it mean that a person works for nothing?
M. Laitman: That's what he feels. I guess he was looking for some reward in exchange for his exertion and now he doesn't see that he's getting anything from the Creator.
Student: In other words, he begins to understand that he works for himself, for his ego?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: And then he gives him the desire to bestow, meaning until we receive the desire to bestow, we don't understand that we're working to no avail?
M. Laitman: No. We don't feel that we're working for the will to receive or the will to bestow. From where will I take these discernments?
Student: So, where will we take these discernments, how will we know?
M. Laitman: By trying to turn to the Creator and doing everything He demands, and then I see if I've attained something or not.
Student: So, basically we're going back to square one. Attaining and being rewarded means that we have to serve the king and not ourselves.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:48) Now he’s talking about kind of doubting the beginning, pondering the beginning, why I did it. He describes the situation, right? But that's a state that is before he can actually work in bestowal. So, how does he see a blessing in this and not that it completely paralyzes him?
M. Laitman: He's not seeing a blessing here; he's seeing a curse here. The more power he puts in, the more he calculates it, he doesn't feel that it adds anything to him.
Student: But in the process, it's like a necessary situation or question. Is it a necessary situation before he takes a decision: Okay, I'll work for the king to receive this gift?
M. Laitman: I guess, yes. It's likely that, yes. That we reveal it in this way.
Student: When he is pondering the beginning, when he doubts it, he is all inside, all into it. So, how can he go through it quickly and not get stuck in pondering the beginning? If we have to go through it?
M. Laitman: Yes, certainly we have to get through it, because that's what a person feels, depending on where he is, where he stopped. Then he has two possibilities, either to continue, and then he doesn't leave in order to receive, or he turns to those forces that hold him, that keep him in order to receive, and he begins to see how he can get along with them, how he can get from under their influence. That's it.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (11:23) You said that we don't distinguish whether we're working for the will to receive or to bestow. I feel like I get a lot of satisfaction from incorporating with my friends in the Ten, that it really kind of overwhelms me, and I want to convey it to bring contentment to the Creator. Or is it more correct to think how I convey this flooding to the light of friends? What's the right way to work with this feeling?
M. Laitman: That's a question. You need to ask what will bring more joy to the Creator.
Student: Should I be asking the Creator?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (12:30) Sometimes a person who's learned here for many years already knows that the Creator exists and runs everything. He knows it, he even feels it a little bit, that the Creator controls things from behind the scenes. But to go out to bestow seems impossible. I don't need discernments. It's clear to me that everything in me is in order to receive. I'm absorbed in it.
The whole world is absorbed in it. So, what should we do? We also learned in the morning lesson that if you didn't see a good sign in three to five years, you need to change something. What should we change in order to make this leap? Because it won't happen by itself. It takes something, some intensity to be locked on some thought. Something else needs to happen.
M. Laitman: That's exactly what's written.
Student: But what is it? I didn't hear it there. What does it say that a person has to change? He has to want to work for the Creator, not for himself. That's what I understand, but in me it's a lie. I want to discover the Creator. I want to discover spirituality. I have this desire, but everything I do is for me. And I can't break free from it. I feel like this is my substance. I have nothing else.
M. Laitman: Yes, so what do they say you need to do?
Student: I don't know. I'm asking you. I really don't know.
M. Laitman: What does it say? Read excerpt number two again.
Moderator: Re-reading Excerpt # 2. (14:48) Rabash, Article No. 1 (1991), "What Is, 'We Have No Other King but You,' in the Work?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:12) He writes: Now he sees that he worked in vain and did not gain anything but laboring, and he sees that all his work was in vain. When a person comes to that feeling, to that state of disappointment with all the spiritual efforts he made and sees no results, what should he conclude from the situation? What should he tell himself?
M. Laitman: I don't know, but what is the reason that he came to this conclusion, to this outcome? If, together with that, he writes that only the Creator controls a person's spiritual state, then he has no other choice but to turn to the Creator. And the Creator, specifically then, brings him to such a plea.
Student: What did he do wrong before?
M. Laitman: Maybe he did everything right. It's possible. He did everything right. He wants
To reach the bestowal, although he found out that he has no forces, no power to bestow, but he tried nevertheless in different ways. Now, again, he has this feeling of the calculation of the truth of turning to the Creator from his entire state. He collects all the forces, all the calculations, and once again he turns to the Creator.
Student: When does the Creator help a person?
M. Laitman: This I cannot say. It says when a person reaches the final state of despair, when there's no one who can help him besides the Creator.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:35) What is our Father, our King?
M. Laitman: According to the Kabbalists, this is how it's arranged for us to turn to the Creator, that He is our Father, that is clear, and our King as well. These two words specifically. It's clear to us where it comes from.
Student: What is our Father?
M. Laitman: Our Father means that He gave birth to us, He sustains us, He educates us. This is all our Father. Our King is, from the point of view of controlling us, ruling over us.
Student: And what do we ask?
M. Laitman: We ask, as a result of that, to reach a state where we will be connected with Him, where we feel one another, where we support and reinforce one another and, in this way, to come closer to truly making Him our King.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (21:41) I desire to ask for the strength for restriction. I always feel in my heart my Ten constantly or conditions without restrictions. Me revealing that in my heart there aren't the friends constantly. Can we ask the Creator, together with the force of annulment, to first of all feel the real connection?
M. Laitman: This is possible. You can ask of the Creator to help you understand in what way, which tools, instruments connect you to your environment and how you turn to the Creator for this environment.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (22:57) How can a Ten help a friend who feels disappointment? She is making great efforts along the way but is not getting her correction. What should the Ten's relation be toward such a friend? How to help her?
M. Laitman: A person needs to try and incorporate with all the forces that work on him and then to see in what way can he free himself from them. What does he need to receive, to acquire in order to be unaffected by the forces working on him? Then when he turns to the Creator it's clear to him what to ask for and what to expect.
Student: (25:01) In the Ten there are friends that when they see a friend in a descent, that she wants to leave the Ten, they feel that they don’t have the strength to continue working in the Ten afterwards. How can we help them?
M. Laitman: We need to pray together. The important thing is to reach the right prayer.
Student: Is there some sort of damage to the Ten if such things happen where a friend really feels like a big descent and the friends can't help, and they themselves fall into a descent? Is there a way to correct in such a state?
M. Laitman: Just to be more connected.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (26:07) What's more correct, to ask for the Creator to place in us this quality of working out for ourselves or to instantaneously invert our hearts?
M. Laitman: Even if we ask Him all at once to invert our hearts, we won't see it right away because it's always done gradually. So, we should always turn to the Creator and scrutinize where we are and who is the one pulling us, directing us and that's how we advance.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (27:18) It's written in the excerpt that when the Creator helps him he receives the ability to bestow. The question is how much depends on a person's cognitive, emotional efforts to try to enter spiritual work, or is he only waiting for the Creator to make this change in him so he can understand what it's about?
M. Laitman: This depends also on the efforts a person puts in. Otherwise, it won't open up to him. He needs to, nevertheless, want it to happen to him and then to come to it.
Student: So, I understand that intellectually, emotionally we have to make an effort to act it out, to get into a state of bestowal, because sometimes I feel that from these efforts I get a push back, backwards. I made an effort, and He throws me into disconnection. Is it supposed to be like that?
M. Laitman: Possibly. So what?
Student: Why is it like that, that when a person tries to come out he is thrown back?
M. Laitman: Because they want to get out of him a greater prayer, a greater effort and a more determined force.
Student: So, it is within our power that a person can push himself into spirituality?
M. Laitman: Of course, that is actually within our power.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (29:16) I'm a woman and when I make stuff for my family—food, I clean, I tidy things up—I'm excited about it. I love shopping for gifts. I can go to the mall for hours and just look for things that will bring joy to others. I don't buy anything for myself, but I enjoy it. I'm searching for what I can give to the Creator. I'm talking about giving contentment to the Creator. What does he need from me? What can I do to please him? It will make me happy just doing it, even if I don’t know if He liked it or not, but I don't know what pleases Him.
M. Laitman: Contentment to the Creator is something we can give on the condition that we disconnect from our egoistic desires and are incorporated in His desire to give, to bestow.
Student: That sounds huge.
M. Laitman: No, no, this is one degree above us, That's all.
Student: Sometimes we kind of search to give big things so they will be valuable. Some-times I feel like it’s something simple, something in the attitude. Maybe if it's connected to the relationship with the friends. It's about being nicer, more connected, doing the simple stuff, not necessarily turning the world upside down. Is it right that it's in the simple things?
M. Laitman: Right, that is true. Of course, we don’t need to make some exalted, eternal calculations here. Rather, everything depends on our own small calculation.
Student: So, we should go for the simple things, simple acts, simple thoughts, to just open our hearts, you know, write poems or something.
M. Laitman: I would throw out the word simplicity.
Student: So, what should I use?
M. Laitman: We need to truly reach an understanding about what the Creator demands of us exactly.
Student: So, what word should I use instead of simplicity?
M. Laitman: There is no word no word.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (32:43) Where do I get the greatness, the exaltedness of the Creator?
M. Laitman: From nature.
Student: For example, in the preparation we read that they have eyes, but they don't see. As long as a person is under the authority of many, he cannot see. So, from where do I get it? Also in excerpt number two, I understand that this is the way for me to receive the power. If I have the greatness of the King and I serve him with joy, I'll have the power to overcome the will to receive. So, what does it mean naturally, from nature? What does that mean?
M. Laitman: Where are you stuck? Our father, our king, you have no other king but You, meaning only the Creator can help us and the King, so we can work because we are serving the King, and this is his reward of serving the King, and this is his reward. We have the privilege of serving the King. This means that only then can we do everything for the sake of the Creator
Student: Meaning, if I won't have the exaltedness and greatness of the Creator, I won't have the feeling that I'm rewarded by serving him. Also, another student’s question made me realize that this is what will give me the strength, the power, because I'm completely absorbed in the will to receive. I have no power of my own, and only with the exaltedness of the Creator, will I have the power. So, how do I attain it, this exaltedness? If I had the exaltedness, it would have happened already, so, I guess I don't have it. From where do I get it?
M. Laitman: We obtain exaltedness of the Creator from within our substance, from within our friends, from the environment which brings us a feeling, an understanding, attainment, a grip on the exaltedness of the Creator.
Student: In the Ten, do we have to speak of the Creator as great?
M. Laitman: Of course. If not that, from where would we take the recognition and understanding of the greatness of the Creator?
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (35:54) He writes that he feels that it's worthwhile to annul to the Creator, worthwhile to give him contentment. So, why is it called contentment? How do we come truly to contentment. is it only worthwhile that he feels his greatness?
M. Laitman: Everything that we need to attain, we can attain only through the power of prayer. That's it.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (36:51) In order to advance so I will reach the next degree of my coarseness, I take the external inversion in the form of the friend, or is it possible through a new request for annulment, to lower the head and somehow enter deeper into the essence through the power of prayer, or do I always need an external influence.
M. Laitman: We need to look into it some more, not the way you say it.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (37:48) There are things we understand in the mind, that the Creator is great, and he is our king, and we have to put in the effort in order to come out of the ego. This is in my mind intellectually, but to feel it in my feelings happens only rarely or sporadically. It feels like a reward where we tried, and we made efforts together, and we prayed. Even though we didn't feel it we understood it. So, the moment we acquire this feeling, it sounds like here we are working above reason and then we receive the reward of the feeling? Then what's next? Is this already the reward and it comes only for a few moments? How do we stretch it out, so it remains eternal.
M. Laitman: What for?
Student: In order to rise more and more.
M. Laitman: So, why can't you do that?
Student: Because there is a feeling that it throws you back more and more, like you understand that you worked for nothing, so after you work you have a feeling of sorts, and you find yourself further back.
M. Laitman: Well? More questions?
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (39:26) I heard before that one has to disconnect himself from his egoistic desires and incorporate in the desire of the Creator. How do you do that?
M. Laitman: I don't know, but that's before everything.
Student: Is this something that we can practice in our current state? What am I saying to myself? I don't want this pleasure that is shining from me there. I know the Creator sent it to me to confuse, throw me out. How do you do it, like that? When I close myself in face of this pleasure?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: And then what gives livelihood to a person?
M. Laitman: By this, becoming closer to the Creator.
Student: So, something will change in his feeling of the world, that he won't chase the pleasure, he restricts it and then he connects to something else, and that's the correct action to reach this reward? First of all, to remove himself?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (40:54) If the Creator helps a person only when he reaches final despair, how can the Ten help a friend who’s in a state of despair, and on the other hand, doesn’t soften this important state.
M. Laitman: No, we don't need to come to final despair. We simply need to work on it together, and then we will get closer and closer to the Creator.
Student: At the point of despair, what's the difference between one who turns to the Creator and one who grows weaker on the path?
M. Laitman: If he grows weaker on the path, then he can no longer turn. Either because he doesn't have the vessels with which to turn or no one to whom to turn, because the Creator disappeared already, so he's powerless to demand with him the spiritual powers, the forces of correction, and then at that time a person can't do anything.
Student: Another question. This week we spoke about how a person is drinking his coffee and he has to think of others who are enjoying it. So, for a full day we made this exercise in the Ten, to make efforts. When we concluded at the end of the day, we felt that there were friends who felt happy about it, that it's passing the pleasure and all that, and others felt that it's like death. I can't drink my coffee and feel the pleasure for someone else. How can we make an action which is bestowal to another, to produce even a smidgen or even something greater
M. Laitman: Only the way you want to say it. Only if we imagine our actions, that we want to correct them and we want to see the result from them in someone else.
Student: Only the Creator can correct these actions, or I correct these actions?
M. Laitman: We correct ourselves. We correct these actions.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (44:09) So there a state where worry or concern can tarnish instead of help. There's a feeling that my worry interferes, actually. What can I do with it? How can I turn this worry into something beneficial? For example, I worry about you. Does it bother you?
M. Laitman: About me?
Student: Yes, there's worry, and I feel something inside of me feels that maybe it’s incorrect. Maybe I should do something different. It’s not the same, but also with friends in the Ten. Oftentimes, I forgive. I make a concession to a friend in worrying about her as long as she will be present and will live and be healthy. How do I turn off this worry, because there's no room inside? I feel like I've always had room in my heart, but now it feels full of
fear and worry. I don't know what to do with it, and I feel like it's not good. I want to correct it and for it to be beneficial.
M. Laitman: It needs to pass. Let's talk next time or in two more times.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (46:10) For a long time on the path I tried to advance according to what he is saying here, to feel the Creator, but in the end it felt like chasing a reward in my will to receive. So, how do we correctly ask to feel the king as he’s seeing here, without it becoming an egoistic reward?
M. Laitman: Good question. It depends in what way we want to receive help. When we approach the Creator, we need to sanctify ourselves. This is not something we can do today, maybe in a week or two.
Student: Another question. We say if a person adds efforts, he wants to bestow to the Creator more and more, he oftentimes feels that he gets thrown out or thrown backwards. You said that’s because they want additional, a greater prayer from him. A person can feel that this package that he prepared is ready for him and the Ten. Then he collects all the deficiencies that the Creator sent through the friends and combines them. So, this action itself becomes bestowal. What he intended to do in advance, right?
M. Laitman: Yes, yes.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (48:52) What does a person attain in his senses when he gives contentment to the Creator?
M. Laitman: He attains in his senses some connection with the Creator.
Student: Does he have to attain the corrected reality when he is in that degree of contentment, or even before he attains the corrected reality, he is able to reach the degree of contentment?
M. Laitman: No, it is actually after he attains a corrected reality that he can come to bring contentment to the Creator.
Student: So, you can say that until I see my friends connected, perfect, corrected, I do not give contentment to the Creator? It is all relative to me?
M. Laitman: It is all towards you.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (50:13) There is sometimes a feeling that we attain the exaltedness of the Creator after something happens. There is an experience, and the Creator gives you hints that He was playing with you, and suddenly from this game you feel how great is the Creator and I feel my own nothingness. Is there something to that?
M. Laitman: What do you mean is there something to it?
Student: Is this a real feeling or games my ego is playing on me?
M. Laitman: Of course, it is your ego playing with you, but still there is something to it.
Student: Another question. It was in this excerpt, and also in others, that there is not a happier moment until he reaches this despair. So, despair is not enough. He also has to be in joy, and it is a little difficult for a person who is in our world to be in despair and in joy at the same time. It feels like the Creator is playing with us here as well. He is giving us the despair and letting us see above it, seemingly the hand of the Creator. I don't understand this situation. Is this correct? How can these two states coexist if the Creator Himself is the one who is giving us these states?
M. Laitman: So, let's say that the Creator gives it especially.
Student: And if it is not so, how can a person contain both states?
M. Laitman: A person can't. A person feels what he is given to feel.
Student: So, either way it is from above, the despair and the joy.
M. Laitman: Correct.
Student: So, we can exert and do everything within our power and only in prayer for the help of the Creator to help us.
M. Laitman: Have it this way.
Student: Is there another way?
M. Laitman: I can't say.
Student: Nevertheless, a recommendation, because I feel like it is a trampoline in the Ten.
M. Laitman: Maybe next time or in a few more times, but we will come to it. It’s not far; we will get there.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (52:50) Is there is a connection between flexibility and incorporation? How flexible do we need to be to incorporate in one another. Without it there is no progress in the Ten.
M. Laitman: Flexibility and incorporation are two different things. They are not contradictory, but they are different.
Student: What does it mean to be flexible?
M. Laitman: Flexibility means the extent to which I am able to switch from feeling to feeling, from one state to another state.
Student: I thought that they are connected. How can you incorporate with another person if we are not being flexible?
M. Laitman: Let's say we are.
Student: Can you explain it?
M. Laitman: I have nothing to explain. We will accumulate such states and then we will summarize it.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (54:11) Years ago, in a congress in New Jersey, I asked you how can a person study Kabbalah for twenty years and not reach anywhere, and you answered, and I didn't understand your answer. Today I think that I do understand. I can see that there is the study of Kabbalah before the start of the war and after.
What happened on October 7th exposed the ego to me, that everything I have done was for myself. It was a very hard blow. Does it mean that only through blows we can understand that we are serving the wrong object, that it's not the Creator? You spoke about hastening, in due time. Is this the only way?
M. Laitman: What other way can there be?
Student: I used to believe that I understand you completely, but it's not. It was an illusion, and when October 7th came, I felt like I lost many things, and I discovered that it was all imaginary. I don't want to get lost again. It's not pleasant to discover just how selfish you are, but only through this blow, I understood the greatness and exaltedness of the Creator.
Can we not leave this path? Can we stay on this path or it's very likely that I will stray again and discover everything. What can I do?
M. Laitman: What can you do? Guard yourself. You're right to be on guard and to constantly try to be in those forces and values.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (56:45) I'm entirely a power of reception, a force to receive, and if I if I need to be honest with myself, looking at everything I went through in life and coming to Israel, learning a language, I see that I've done everything for myself. Everything. I write down what I received in life and from everywhere. Suddenly I stop, and I see that I got everything from the Creator and from this point I can discover gratitude in me, and only from the point of true gratitude and in the Ten, with this mutual gratitude, there's an opening for a true change toward bestowal, a true plea.
I discovered you. I'm receiving from you. I'm grateful to you. How do I relate to such an exercise? In the evening, for example, where each one takes a piece of paper and writes down: Here's what I received from the Creator, and here's how I passed on this power to my Ten. How did I process this power, and what did we do together, and I focus on the gratitude, because without gratitude you cannot ask for anything from Him. You cannot invert ourselves, like a shirt. You invert yourself from reception to bestowal. You can't do it otherwise. Is that correct?
M. Laitman: Correct.
Student: And about the exercise, will it be beneficial?
M. Laitman: It will be very beneficial.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (58:40) Can we say that anytime we ask to go above reason, eventually our perception gets purified, and this is the more refined coarseness. I'm seemingly entering deeper into what's happening?
M. Laitman: You can put it this way.
Student: Can you say this is like the emergence of the new Partzuf?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Can it be that each Partzuf matches the depth?
M. Laitman: You don't need to confuse yourself with this.
Student: I need to somehow grade the depth of my understanding.
M. Laitman: For the time being, I don't recommend it.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (59:56) I heard before that you said you can receive help from the Creator to approach Him if we sanctify ourselves. What does it mean to sanctify ourselves?
M. Laitman: Sanctifying ourselves means reflecting within ourselves to bestow upon the Creator from a new will to receive that is coarser than before.
Student: What does that mean?
M. Laitman: In greater coarseness.
Student: When I turn to the Creator, I am asking for my friends in the Ten?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Do I need to expand it from the friends to Bnei Baruch?
M. Laitman: No, no. It's not about quantity. It's just about how as before you wanted to bestow from some will to receive of yours, now you want to bestow more.
Student: The exercise that another student described, we did for a few days actually, and we said that every desire that comes to us we have to check it and ask accordingly. If every desire we have for a sip of water, for food, for everything, we will think what our intention is and ask that everything will be for the Ten, let's say. The more we do it, will this advance us?
M. Laitman: Of course. This is what Baal HaSulam writes, what Rabash writes.
Student: Another question. Do I need to do it only toward my Ten, relative to her, or I can think: With every sip I want this friend to feel good, then I want this friend to feel good,
Now I want my Rav to be healthy, anything I have a desire for?
M. Laitman: Yes.
You are saying, there is no more time. What can I do? On the one hand, I am told that we are out of time, on the other hand new questions are coming now.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (1:03:00) When you speak of sanctifying ourselves, making a calculation about bestowing greater coarseness, this is what will prevent us from being thrown back after attaining a little bit of the greatness of the Creator?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (1:03:26) You told another student that to sanctify ourselves is to make a calculation and bestow to the Creator from a newer, coarser desire to receive. She said that we need to think of every action that is for the sake of the Creator and the friends. Can there be any states where I am doing these actions, I am thinking, I am trying to aim it at the Creator, and I sometimes truly feel like I am truly doing it for Him. I truly have the greatness of the Creator. I can even reach internal excitement and this heartfelt eruption, and later there is a feeling that it’s the evil inclination. It is a Pharaoh playing as if I gave it to the Creator, but it wasn't truly for Him. Can I get an indication that I am actually working correctly, or this path never has such…
M. Laitman: I didn't understand.
Student: Can I feel that I worked with the will to bestow somehow, where in another place it feels like it is a lie. I didn't really do it like that.
M. Laitman: Check yourself several times from all kinds of angles or approaches to the same issue and ask the Creator to teach you how you should see the situation.
Student: So, if I feel like the evil inclination, the Klipot, steal something from this effort that I wanted to go to the Creator. I can ask him to subjugate them?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (1:05:27) We say that to sanctify ourselves means to bestow to the Creator from a coarser desire to receive. Sometimes, a long time passes from the moment the coarser will to receive awakens, then you justify yourself, and you condemn the friends, and you see how nobody is good, and that I’m not good. Then you remember you have to do something with it. Sometimes it can take days. How do we shorten this time? Is there a sign, a means, a Segula?
M. Laitman: The will to bestow upon the friends.
Student: How do I remember about the will to bestow to the friends when I see them as not great in my eyes.
M. Laitman: It doesn't matter that they are not great, but this is what you were given, and you are with them in one framework.
Student: That needs to be my habit?
M. Laitman: Yes.
We have so many questions there from overseas.
Question (Women MAK): (1:07:10) How would our inner work be to crown the Creator as king over me. What does it mean to crown the Creator over me?
M. Laitman: It's when all the desires that awaken in me all stem from Him.
Student: Does the Creator need any proof of love, and how should it be expressed?
M. Laitman: In that we yearn for Him.
Question (Women English 1): (1:08:14) In our work we are constantly faced with the battle over the ego. When we read this article, it seemed like the article itself is like a prayer for help to constantly rise above the ego and put the Creator between us as the goal as the goal. Is this how this article should be, that we should constantly be asking our Father and our King to help us make you the King over our lives?
M. Laitman: I didn't understand.
Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): Repeats question. Is this how we need to read this excerpt, that it's a prayer that comes out from us to the Creator, so we'll be able to crown Him over us?
M. Laitman: We'll get to it next lesson.
Thank you very much.
