Part 2: Baal HaSulam. Shamati 23. You Who Love the Lord, Hate Evil

Reader: We are reading in the writings of Baal HaSulam, the articles of Shamati, article number 23, “You Who Love the Lord Hate Evil.” Study material is available on Sviva Tova and the Arvut, and you can send questions live through the sites. Shamati 23, “You Who Love the Lord Hate Evil.”

Reading: (00:24) Shamati 23. You Who Love the Lord, Hate Evil

I heard on Sivan 17, June 2, 1931

In the verse, “You who love the Lord, hate evil; He preserves the souls of His followers; He will save them from the hand of the wicked,” he interprets that it is not enough to love the Creator, and to want to be awarded Dvekut [adhesion] with the Creator. One should also hate evil.

Hatred is expressed by hating the evil, called “the will to receive.” One sees that he has no way to get rid of it, and at the same time, he does not want to accept the situation. He feels the losses that the evil causes him, and also sees the truth, that one cannot annul the evil by himself, since it is a natural force from the Creator, who imprinted the will to receive in man.

In that state, the verse tells us what one can do is hate evil. And by this the Creator will keep him from that evil, as it is written, “He preserves the souls of His followers.” What is preservation? “He will deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” In that state, since he has some contact with the Creator, be it the smallest contact, he is already a successful person.

In truth, the matter of evil remains and serves as an Achoraim [posterior] to the Partzuf. But this is only through one’s correction: Through sincere hatred of evil, it is corrected into a form of Achoraim. The hatred comes because if one wants to obtain Dvekut [adhesion] with the Creator then there is a conduct among friends: If two people realize that each of them hates what his friend hates, and loves what and whom his friend loves, they come into perpetual bonding like a stake that will never fall.

Hence, since the Creator loves to bestow, the lower ones should also adapt to want only to bestow. The Creator also hates to be a receiver, as He is completely whole and does not need anything. Thus, man, too, must hate the matter of reception for oneself.

It follows from all the above, that one must bitterly hate the will to receive, for all the ruins in the world come only from the will to receive. And through the hatred, one corrects it and surrenders under the Kedusha [holiness].

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:01) Baal HaSulam writes that hatred toward the evil, there are degrees to it. You have to come to complete hatred. What is the degree of complete hatred of the evil?

M. Laitman: Why?

Student: Because hating the will to receive - I hate the will to receive, but... The question is, to what extent must I hate the will to receive? What is this complete, completely so?

M. Laitman: I hear you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:13) Is hatred for the evil and love for the Creator, do they go together?

M. Laitman: Yes. Yes, because the Creator is the good that does good. And therefore, if a person hates the evil, then he is in the same state towards the Creator.

Student: But why must a person look at the bad, at the evil, relate to it? Why not just act toward love for the Creator, adhesion with the Creator, and as a result, hatred for the evil will develop in him? Why is it important to emphasize that there is hatred of the evil too?

M. Laitman: A person needs to abstain from all the evil in him. And only in such a way, he gradually, slowly, slowly, comes closer to the good, to bestowal, and distances from the evil, from reception.

Student: Should I first hate the evil, and then come to love to the Creator? Or do I first work on love for the Creator, and as a result, I'll hate the evil?

M. Laitman: No, first one needs to understand what evil is, and what good is, and to distance oneself from the bad, and come close to the good. That's, actually, all our corrections.

Student: I'm assuming that good means bestowal, and bad means self-reception.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What awakens the real hatred for the evil?

M. Laitman: Because a person sees where he's coming close to, and where he's distancing from. And the relationship between this and that builds in him a very clear relation to bestowal and reception.

Student: And what is this regarding where it's written that, He will deliver them from the hand of the wicked?

M. Laitman: That those desires, thoughts, actions that there is a will to receive in them, a person distances himself from them, disconnects from them.

Student: If two people come to realize that each of them hates what his friend hates and loves what and whom his friend loves, and they come to connection.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does his friend love and what does he hate? Each of them has different loves and hates.

M. Laitman: We don't know, but what the Torah says is, that which your friend loves, you need to reach that as well, the love, and that which your friend hates, you too need to reach hatred towards.

Student: My friend loves all kinds of things and hates all kinds of things. Not necessarily according to my liking, or maybe it is according to what I like. Each one is unique. So, what should we love exactly like the friend, and what should we hate exactly like the friend? And what is irrelevant, and we don't talk about it?

M. Laitman: When a person hears, sees, feels an inclination towards something that brings him closer to the Creator, it's considered that he's aimed to the good. And vice versa - it's considered that he's aimed towards the bad. And that's how he advances.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:49) What is the contact I have to feel when I'm advancing towards the Creator? What is that contact?

M. Laitman: The contact for you to advance closer to the Creator is where you come closer more correctly, more powerfully, to the friends; in a manner in which you move to the control of the good, and no longer come out of that.

Student: He says, I have to feel like I'm losing something.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What is this feeling of loss? You just said, I have to feel that I am in contact with the Creator by nearing the friends. What is the feeling of the loss that I have to feel there?

M. Laitman: We need to see how, by nearing to one another, for us to become one man and one heart, which are incorporated together - we need to see how, through this, we become one mass. And this mass becomes, it stands before the Creator and is drawn towards Him, and that is the purpose of our development.

Student: Should that loss be something personal, or should we feel that loss as a Ten?

M. Laitman: We need to feel this loss and distancing from one another as a Ten, and that’s what sustains us.

Student: How do we make ourselves truly feel that we are losing out here? That the loss is so deep that we'll truly do everything possible to reach that connection through these efforts that we talk about every day?

M. Laitman: From the beginning, we need to see our path toward the Creator, where only by these means, we can come to the feeling of the Good Who Does Good in his world, and this way to advance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:19) How is it that hatred becomes a corrective force? And what does it mean, when he says that by this is corrected in the aspect of Achoriam, posterior?

M. Laitman: If you see that hate pushes you away from self-love, and that you're moving closer to all your friends, then it turns out that, although it is hate, but it aims you toward the good.

Student: And what is this aspect of Achoriam?

M. Laitman: Achoriam, posterior, because from this rejection, you can approach the goal.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:32) The attitude towards the intention - I have an intention, I scrutinize it, and then I see if I love bestowal or hate reception. So, first of all, I have to scrutinize my intention. I need to find what it actually is first, right? And then we're talking about my attitude towards that intention?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Now, in general, if you ask me, obviously I love to bestow in general, you know far away, and I hate receiving of course. I see that, but in a generalized kind of way. Many times, however, I don't truly scrutinize my attitude towards the intention. Many things happen in the group, in the lessons, gathering of friends, meals, and I don't really stop to scrutinize my intention, my attitude towards it. So, what are all these multiple states, they just pass me by?

M. Laitman: No. Nothing, no state just passes you by. Rather, without relating through it the force of connection to the goal, all those states that you're going through are useless.

Student: How to make sure that every state is of use?

M. Laitman: Every moment, every state you feel, has to aim you toward the goal.

Student: From where comes that power to be able to be meticulous about every intention in every moment, every bite in a meal, every breath in a lesson?

M. Laitman: This is important, as he says. Those who love the Creator hate evil, and vice versa.

Student: And where will I get the power to always be conducting this scrutiny?

M. Laitman: From forcefully inserting yourself into this process of approaching the Creator and learning from Him what is good and what is bad.

Student: How can my friends help me in that, to make sure I'm always in that place?

M. Laitman: Through the connection with them, you come to it.

Student: What connection? I mean …

M. Laitman: Through the connection with the friends who want to approach the Creator. By that, from that, you acquire the same desire.

Student: And this desire will push me to always be in that scrutiny?

M. Laitman: Certainly, yes.

Student: So, actually, everything comes from the connection. From that, you receive that yearning to adhere to it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:39) What is that point of scrutiny from which one can hate the evil? Because it turns out here that, on the one hand, I still identify with the will to receive, I'm not yet in the will to bestow. On the other hand, I need to hate the evil, which is the very essence of a person. So, what is that point where a person judges from, where he's not here nor there, out of which he can come to hatred towards the evil? Because the evil is my essence, all of it. Who hates the evil then?

M. Laitman: Both the evil and the good are not scrutinized. They still work in scrutinizing what is good and what is bad.

Student: Exactly that! Who's scrutinizing? Because the evil isn't scrutinized. The one doing the scrutiny is still in that evil, and he doesn't have enough of an attainment of the good so as to scrutinize the evil out of the good. So, who's scrutinizing it? What is that point from which you scrutinize the hatred towards the evil?

M. Laitman: To scrutinize the force that is operating on you.

Student: Who's the one doing this scrutiny?

M. Laitman: You.

Student: But what in me is capable of making the scrutiny? Because the majority of me is still all wicked, evil, before I enter the feeling of good. And when you feel good, the feeling of goodness, that comes after having scrutinized the evil. So, there seems to be a point that judges here in the person, that's supposed to be revealed, which I don't yet feel.

M. Laitman: Yes, it's true. That's why this article is about those who love the Lord hate evil, and vice versa. When you want to approach the Creator, you're drawn towards the good.

Student: Okay, those who love the Creator, it's clear why they hate the evil. Because they adhere to Him, and there's a disparity of form with the evil, and therefore hatred. Now, prior to reaching the state of those who love the Creator, what exactly hates the evil? Is there an ability to hate the evil before adhering to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Is it the person? Is it the Ten? What is that place from which you can conduct the scrutiny?

M. Laitman: The Ten.

Student: So, in the point of connection, in the Ten, there, the ability to scrutinize is revealed.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:39) Most people think they are good, and the others are bad. To realize that the evil is within us seems to be a very high state. Why is it so hard to realize the evil is within us?

M. Laitman: Because we can't feel how approaching the evil or moving away from evil is working on us in such a way that reveals or destroys the point of connection with the Creator.

Student: And at the same time there is evil outside in the world. My ancestors, I was born in Berlin, they did evil. So, how do we relate to people who do evil?

M. Laitman: We're not making any calculations about what happened a moment ago. Rather, the current moment - where we can scrutinize, where we can make a scrutiny, we make the scrutiny. And we discuss it, and accordingly we relate to them.

Student: How can a person reach scrutiny of the evil within him? How to engage in it more properly? How to understand it better and understand the evil within man?

M. Laitman: This has to do with the person, to what extent he is taking his state seriously as a fateful state, critical state, and he's drawing those forces that can tie him, bring him closer to connection, to the center, to the Creator. And then when he scrutinizes, he sees just how much it brings him closer to the connection, to the good, and disconnects him from the bad.

Student: We look at the Good Who Does Good, and go from there and work with the evil?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:32) I heard you say that a person should abstain from all the evil within him, and only in that manner he can, perhaps gradually, reach the good. How do you abstain? What is that action?

M. Laitman: It's like what's written in the conditions - to love the Lord and hate evil, they are moving closer to connection and moving away from disconnection.

Student: In my Ten, what should I abstain from? It's too generalized. What should I actually do in the Ten that can be called abstention, which can bring me closer to the good?

M. Laitman: You have to abstain from distancing from the friends, and as much as possible, to be in connection with them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:07) I wanted to scrutinize something, which I just heard, scrutinizing what happens in the moment and relates accordingly. What is special about... We talked about the states that one keeps receiving. When you receive some state, and you scrutinize it in the moment, what's so special about that kind of attitude that the Creator gives us?

M. Laitman: This is your work, to be adhered to the Creator and His actions that are bringing you closer.

Student: So, I understand that close contact with the Creator means to be constantly alert to the states I receive from Him, and to scrutinize them as near as possible, to the very state that I receive?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If we don't scrutinize the states in the moment, if we don't scrutinize it, what happens then?

M. Laitman: Then, based on what can you move closer or farther away from the Creator? You seemingly lack data, parameters.

Student: So, the same contact, when I'm close to my state and I scrutinize it, by that I also distance myself from evil?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (32:12) It's written that to reach hatred towards evil, you need to feel the losses that evil incurs. The question is, how to feel the loss?

M. Laitman: Imagine all those actions of the evil by which a person moves closer to or farther away from the goal.

Student: The person who never felt, let's say, adhesion with the Creator, contact with the Creator, how can he feel that loss? Because that's what the evil does to us, it turns us away from the Creator. But I never felt it, it's difficult to exactly picture that loss, that distance.

M. Laitman:. Let's say that you are doing actions to come closer to the friends, and you're trying to be against distancing yourself from the friends. And how does that work on you?

Student: I tried, and I feel that it's completely outside my powers. There's great distance here.

M. Laitman: So, you have to ask the Creator to arrange those states for you.

Student: Can a person actually feel the loss before having reached some kind of sensation, at least once, or do you just have to imagine yourself what it is you're losing?

M. Laitman: This isn't simple. You have to try and be in that state where the Creator arranges for you either closeness or distancing.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (34:57) In order to receive the power that works on a person, we can identify it in the work in the Ten, through the sources, through dissemination, various interactions that we have. However, as I'm performing the action, the scrutiny, as the person does that, he feels alone, that it's him opposite the desire. And he is painting within himself, depicting the quality of bestowal, and so on. He's by himself. So, my question is about the work in the Ten. How can I convey to the friend the feeling that he's not alone in this “movie”?

M. Laitman: Try to approach the friends, incorporate with them in their actions. Don't move away, don't distance yourself, don't disconnect yourself from the Creator who's holding this state together.

Student: What actions of the friends can I connect to? How can I be with the friend in that state? How can I identify such an action?

M. Laitman: He wants actions of connection. Actions of connection.

Student: What are the actions of connection?

M. Laitman: Actions of connection that the friend does, with other friends, with the Creator - so, I can also be incorporated in them.

Student: And I need to see that when a friend is making an action of connection, is making an effort, without feeling what's going on inside, I should just give him more energy, give him the greatness of the goal? How do I help him in that inner point?

M. Laitman: Actions of connection of the friend are such that, through them, a friend wants to come closer to the Creator, unite with Him, and from that extend actions of connection toward the entire human force.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:16) It sounds like hatred is the opposite of love. So, how come hatred is not on behalf of the will to receive?

M. Laitman: Why should it be specifically from the will to receive?

Student: In the quality of love, can you hate someone?

M. Laitman: Those who love the Lord hate evil, so they hate something. What is that evil that they hate? This they have to scrutinize. By that they arrange all their tendencies toward connection between them, the connection between them.

Student: It's written that through hating the will to receive, one is corrected, is sustained and becomes the Achoriam, the posterior of the Partzuf. What does that mean?

M. Laitman: Achoriam, posterior means rejection, that he doesn't want to connect.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (39:50) I just heard you say that those who love the Creator hate evil. And if I understand correctly, to be in a state where I truly hate the evil, I need to be one who loves the Creator. We learned from you that the substance of creation is the will to receive, which is the evil.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Our friends have all kinds of desires from that substance of which they are made. They love many, many different things. But you taught us that the main point, the thing tying us all together, that's all towards one single goal, which is searching for a connection to the Creator, the upper one. And from that connection, that unity towards a common goal, we create this common force. And so those are those who love the Creator, that come to hating evil - why are we always so confused? It's as if we're being toyed with, it comes and goes.

M. Laitman: It exists in us as a result of an incomplete scrutiny.

Student: What is the complete scrutiny?

M. Laitman: The complete scrutiny is when I know from where will I get the good, where will I get the evil from, what’s the desire of the Creator regarding the form that's opposite from Him. And in this way, I place those things before me and I advance toward them.

Student: But from whichever direction I look at myself, I'm still in the substance of the will to receive.

M. Laitman: Okay, let's say so.

Student: How can I connect myself to those common forces, the friends? How can I stop forgetting to look at them, to look only at them to receive power from that central point?

M. Laitman: You need to try and see the friends in a certain action that they need to be in, according to their efforts, their opportunity, their prayers. In that state, you also advance toward it so you’ll have the opportunity to enter into it.

Student: What can I do with myself so it's not just giving up something when I have something else in exchange; not to only let go when I have a different end of the rope to hold on to?

M. Laitman: Provide a correct definition for those who love the Creator and hate evil. According to the hate toward certain actions of the Creator, that they don't want to see, they don't want to accept it, through that specifically, they enter the definition of those who love the Lord.

Student: And then they keep the condition of Arvut, mutual guarantee. I understand.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:21) When we work on connection, it feels like we need an extra push that we're missing to hate the evil. From where can we receive that power so that in a very, very clear way, in the connection, we'll hate everything that separates us?

M. Laitman: We need to scrutinize the evil to such an extent that we'll hate it above all other things we hate. We don't want to disconnect from it and distance ourselves from it, but only according to what we scrutinize.

Student: How to make this scrutiny, how to give it force and acceleration such that we will have no room for doubt? Because it seems, you can think of it this way, that way, but you can remain tepid and waste a lot of time in this.

M. Laitman: If I am between the friends, and I don't let the states that go over us, to influence us, to cool us down, then I can be constantly aimed at the good and grace that will pursue me all the days of my life.

Student: Sometimes we say that we need to agree with the Creator about all the states He puts us through. And here I see that I fail in this, because if I agree with Him about being in such and such state, then specifically in those states you need to actually fight for the connection, rather than to agree with whatever state in which the Creator gives you more coarseness, or tosses you out.

M. Laitman: I explained to you - from that same source, why do you need to resist? Why do you want to agree or disagree? Then you scrutinize it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (47:23) Should a person want his evil to be severed from the world?

M. Laitman: He wants to reach the good by using the feeling of evil.

Student: Yes, but two forces, a person can't be whole when he hates one force, and that's always occurring in him. What demand should he have? For it to disappear, not exist? On the other hand, this is his compass.

M. Laitman: Those who love the Lord hate evil. He needs to come to that. Hatred of evil is the key to attaining the good.

Student: Can a person live with the evil inside him? He hates the evil, you get there to hate the evil, but can a person live with the evil inside of him? As he says, that the evil always exists in his Achoraim. You can live with that, right?

M. Laitman: Well, let him try.

Student: So we need to live with that evil always in the back of our minds?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:07) Baal HaSulam gives us an example at the end of the article. Reaching adhesion with the Creator, for that you need to hate what your friend hates, love what your friend loves. Is there a person in the world that can love what I love and hate what I hate?

M. Laitman: It's only in order to make space for your friend and his attitude toward you.

Student: What kind of exercise can you do for that purpose?

M. Laitman: The way you scrutinize it, what you like, what you hate relative to others.

Student: It's not clear. If each of us is in a different point of emotion, what does it mean to love the same thing and hate the same thing? What does it mean? That will lead us to be united to the Creator? He constantly comes back to that advice. What should we do in practice, some exercise? It is not clear.

M. Laitman: Don't look at it this way, rather, look at hatred for evil and look at the good as connection and tightening.

Student: Okay, and one man in one heart - that's what we need to achieve, that's our goal. We're always pushed towards that. So long as we're not there, we're in the evil, right? Because one man in one heart, that's a very accurate kind of point, right? Okay, so how do you work towards that, towards that field of oneness? It's a very specific point, accurate, if I understand correctly, that's what they're saying. How do we strive towards a common feeling - one?

M. Laitman: You have to keep going. You have to gain more experience and then approach doing, approach action.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (52:06) What does it mean to be one who loves the Creator?

M. Laitman: To be one who loves the Lord means to maintain Him in your desires, and love all the laws of the Creator that come down to you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (52:38) But the thing putting distance between us is the Creator. So, how to relate to it? It's unclear. Those who love the Creator, I love all of the Creator's actions - when He brings us closer, when He pushes us apart, I adhere to every action He performs upon us. So, what discernment should I have in this?

M. Laitman: There are actions in your world that are against connection, against the upper reality. So, how do you relate to them?

Student: Why should I relate to the actions? I should relate to the one who performs these actions upon me, which is the Creator. And then, if I want to be one who loves the Lord, I need to adhere to His actions on me in every state, everything that He puts me through, to justify everything He does. Or perhaps, I make some distinction here and I say, no, with this I don't agree. I don't agree with the Creator pushing us apart.

M. Laitman: You are correct. You are correct.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (54:18) Everything comes from the Lord, all the different states. And if I understand correctly, what matters is how we relate to that. My question is, what justification do we have to hate the joy from the evil that is revealed? Is it the will of the Lord that we hate it because the Lord sends us some temptation and we reject it? We say, we don't want to enjoy the conflict in the Ten. Rather we ask for a connection because this is what You want, or is there anything else to this?

M. Laitman: No, we don't awaken conflict between them and we don't pull the group towards states where it’s not in them. We wish to scrutinize our eternal attitude, our final attitude in that special light.

Student: Our justification in hating the evil, is that the Creator wants us to hate the evil?

M. Laitman: You can say it's written - those who love the Lord hate evil. So, how can we imagine to want anything else against it?

Student: So, our intention is to only want what the Creator wants and not to agree with things He gives us, which He doesn't actually want us to receive, like that?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:18) Is there anything good in man?

M. Laitman: No, there isn't, and no one demands it of him. Rather, they just give him the opportunities to scrutinize it. And that's the path.

Student: So, he scrutinizes and scrutinizes and discovers more and more evil, and?

M. Laitman: No, it's not that he reveals more and more evil. He scrutinizes it. As it's written in the article, that those who love the Lord hate evil.

Student: So, he scrutinizes the evil, and how can he cultivate hatred towards the evil?

M. Laitman: From the same place. Those who love the Lord hate evil.

Student: How does he cultivate that place - those who love the Lord, so as to hate the evil? Those who hate evil are those who love the Lord.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If in a person there's no such distinction as those who love the Lord, how can he hate evil?

M. Laitman: We need to think about it. You're right. You have to think about it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (59:40) If a person makes an effort to love the Lord, does he automatically hate evil? Or does he need to take another action, some special action, in order to hate the evil?

M. Laitman: Well, you have to have a workshop on such a question.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:40) You said that we need to scrutinize it. Again, we learned from you for many years that the example of bestowal we receive from the friends. When I look at my friends, I hear them talking about the quality of bestowal, about some value which I don't feel within, and this elicits envy in me. And then I try to look at them as an example, what they want as my example, and then I feel how far I am from that, how the evil is within me, and I want to strive towards the examples they give me. The good is in them. Is that right? Is that the direction?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:01:44) Yesterday as well, we scrutinized this in the Ten. We read this article a few times, and we found that we don't know what evil is. That until you're in the quality of bestowal, adhesion to the Creator, you can't understand truly what evil is. Can you understand what evil is?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: What is this thing that we hate? That we hate so much that …

M. Laitman: We don't want to accept it, we don't want to feel it, we don't want to approach it. That's the feeling of hate, according to the attitude you have to it.

Student: What is it that you hate so much that you don't want to get near?

M. Laitman: I don't like it, I don't want it.

Student: I don't want what?

M. Laitman: To feel the evil, to feel it.

Student: What is the evil? What is evil?

M. Laitman: That I feel. When it approaches, I feel that I'm included in it.

Student: An attitude of concern for myself, a thought about myself, which is really repellent?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:03:28) We say that there's no good or evil in reality. It's all with respect to a person's perception of reality. The Creator is the Good Who Does Good, there's None Else Besides Him, and if I see evil, I need to correct my vision, right? But it's not that there is such a thing as evil. So, what does it mean to correct the evil, if there's no evil, if I only need to correct my vision, my perspective of the situation, the state that the Creator paints before me? So, why do I need to hate the evil and not just ask the Creator to change how I relate to the situation?

M. Laitman: Turn to the Creator and ask.

Student: So, to hate evil means to hate my current perspective.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, there's no actual evil that I'm seeing. It's only my attitude that I define as evil, and with respect to that definition, I need to ask for a replacement of that definition.

M. Laitman: Beautiful.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:44) When a person yearns to come close to the Lord, he needs to learn the good and evil to the same degree, to learn what good is and to learn what evil is from the Creator, and the purpose of coming close to the Creator is what leads him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, the evil and the good serve the purpose to the same extent. Do I need it to be in balance, or does it just depend on the state one is in?

M. Laitman: In the state that he's in.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:05:24) After the questions, it appears to me that the will to receive also has degrees, and the will to receive is at its most active when I want to connect with the Ten. Every time I want to connect with the Ten, I discover evil. I see how far I am from that. I discover how much I don't want to connect. Now, my question is, correcting my evil, it's a bit confusing because I don't want to be in a state where I don't know what evil is. I know what evil is. I see it. I feel my evil, and I see what I'm lacking in order to reach that state. Now, is it correct to relate to it in such a way where a lack of love towards the friends is the evil?

M. Laitman: I can’t tell you.

Student: Why can't you tell? Because it's written that it's the will to receive. My nature is the will to receive. Is that not evil?

M. Laitman: I don't know.

Student: So, how to scrutinize it? What is the evil here?

Question (W PT 23): (01:07:27) I heard that one who loves the Lord is one who observes with love and willingness all the rules of the Creator. So, my question is, how can a person identify the rules, the laws of the Creator that descend to him?

M. Laitman: He feels that what is now coming to him is coming from the Creator because He wants to change the person.

Question (Turkiye 1): (01:08:15) We're advancing towards the May Congress. Some of our friends in the Ten will participate virtually, and some will participate physically. In such a situation, how can I or how can we be in Arvut with each other, when some are connected physically and some are connected virtually?

M. Laitman: I don't think it's important. What's important is that we would want to be together in one society under one leader toward one goal. And this is our path.
