Number 7

Reading: (00:38) Maor VaShemesh, Ekev

The most important is for each and every one to annul himself completely and not think of himself as righteous or that he counts at all among the friends. […] and annul himself completely. It is known that in every ten there is Shechina [Divinity], and this is a complete level. In a complete level, there are head, hands, legs, and heels. It follows that when every person regards himself as nothing in society, then he regards himself as a heel compared to the society, while they are the head, the body, and the higher organs. When each one thinks of himself in this way, they make the gates of abundance and every lushness in the world open up to them, and it is drawn the most through the person who is more regarded as “nothing” and as “a heel.”

M. Laitman: The more a person is in a feeling of being less than everyone, he's closer to the Creator. And through him the bestowal from the upper one moves the lower one through him specifically. Okay, who doesn't agree? What do you want to ask?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:13) How to depict this feeling of being nothing, being annulled correctly?

M. Laitman: Annuls himself.

Student: Again, unlike any feelings that are in this world, when a person feels inferior to others. How is the feeling of being inferior from others in spirituality different, specifically in spirituality, because it brings him to advancement?

M. Laitman: He starts to feel spirituality to the extent in which he annuls himself; as much as he annuls himself, that's it.

Student: How not to be confused with feelings of inferiority that do not lead to?

M. Laitman: It could be egoistic inferiority and, here, there should be inferiority from wanting to be closer to the Creator. There's a big difference, here.

Student: Can you make a distinction between the egoistic inferiority as opposed to inferiority that brings closer to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Egoistic inferiority is where a person seemingly makes himself quiet, doesn't jump, doesn't stand out, whereas, inferiority is where you don't see it. You don't see. He lowers it. He humbles it. It's not simple to talk about such things. Our language is not built for it. No.

Okay, that's it. Well, next?

Reader: (04:56) Likutei Halachot, Hoshen Mishpat, Hilchot Arev

It is impossible to observe Torah and Mitzvot [commandments] except through Arvut [mutual responsibility], when each one becomes responsible for his friend, since the essence of observing the Torah, which is the desire, is through unity. Therefore, anyone who wants to take upon himself the burden of Torah and Mitzvot, which is mainly through the intensification of the desire, should be included in the whole of Israel with great unity. It follows that precisely through the Arvut, when all are regarded as one, precisely by this they can observe the Torah, since the essence of love and unity is in the desire, when each one is pleased with his friend, there is no disparity of desire between them, and they are all included in one desire. By this they are incorporated in the upper desire, which is the end goal of the unity.

M. Laitman: It is great wisdom and great work to annul oneself and incorporate in everyone, as if he is not there. To such an extent that he is not there; and then he is incorporated in everyone.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:51) Every moment when a person calculates, he can say, this is where I am. That's my relation to reality, okay? Afterwards, we can look at it and say, it wasn't me, I received it, well, there's nothing, None Else Besides Him. So, what remains as being the person from all of this? When a person can look at it and say, in hindsight, this is me.

M. Laitman: A drop of the seed, this is me. Everything else is from the parents, from the environment, from the teacher. But nevertheless, it's aiming to Him.

Student: What action can a person attribute to himself, for better or for worse?

M. Laitman: You can't say, if he would truly see what's happening, there's nothing he could say that this is me.

Student: So, in this incorporation, in the actual reality because he's talking about the actual reality where we are.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: incorporated. What there can we say about some existence?

M. Laitman: I can't say because if what he has, he received from the Creator throughout his development, the deficiency he also received from above, at the beginning of his development. There's nothing that belongs to a person, truly, nothing. But his response to everything that's happening to him, also, “go to the craftsman who made me”, and you can't attribute anything to a person. And here comes the question: Is, what is this benefit from all the beings who altogether live in the manner that the Creator made them and established them? The very essence of knowing, the essence of creation? Well?

Student: When we say that a person calculates for himself or that he's been calculated on. What kind of calculation is there?

M. Laitman: This is already something different, that what you were given, you were also given a method how to overcome; and for what you should overcome, in everything that awakens in you. Here is already a question: So, what do I do, why did I do it this way or another way? There's choice, here, or no choice. In every appeal, in every corner.

Student: But let's say I did something, and I did it, correctly. So, if I did it correctly, I was rewarded. If I did it incorrectly, I suffered.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So that too, basically, is not… It's a calculation that in the end led me to do what the Creator wants, from His will, from adhesion.

M. Laitman: Of course, the Creator is always first and He always is the one that determines, and “go to the craftsman who made me”, a person can say. But there are things here open for a person throughout his ascent on the ladder. And, eventually, a certain image, His image is created here to which He cannot say this is not me, it belongs only to Him. What's to Him? Where does it come from, this independent point? This we don't understand, yet; we don't understand where it comes from. But what comes to a person is a certain self-sensor. Some Godly part from above that was also not in the person but nevertheless, somewhat he cuts it from the Creator and grows from that, yes.

Student: Can we say that for us, it's a general thing not personal, that we're, gradually developing an attitude of responsibility, concern, attention to the Ten, to the friends, which is not the relation we had before, right, no one had it. We're not born with it. Can we say that there's something about this that is unique to us?

M. Laitman: What is to us?

Student: To those on the path.

M. Laitman: To each and every one, each and every one has his point. You're already coming close with this. Only the question is to what extent you are annulling yourself on the way? There are those that are still growing with their nose up in the air, with all kinds of thoughts that they have some special uniqueness, and we must come to something above the nullification of themselves.

Student: In this annulment, some concern for the Ten is born, concern for the friends,

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: and something new that didn't exist before.

M. Laitman: Sorry for cutting you off but, it's exactly, what we need to scrutinize and cultivate, yes, to develop.

Student: How do we scrutinize specifically this point?

M. Laitman: This is a point that is from my incorporation in the Ten, just like that. And when you jump in the water, like that. And when you jump, you already don't ask yourself, what's happening, you already jumped. That's how we need to live in this society, where I'm constantly inside the one who's jumping in with his head down. A sign that I'm not thinking with my head what needs to happen to me. But, rather, I decided about it before the leap, before the jump, okay?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:28) I'd like to relate to the friend's question for a moment: When you speaks to a student, you love the student, he guides the student, and the student feels it. What do you love in the student and guide him?

M. Laitman: I can't talk to that, it's not something for you, that's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:13) What to do in a situation where society gives respect to a person, and he feels that it is contradictory to the path? And then it turns out that every time he gets respect he's not thankful to the society; he moves away.

M. Laitman: There's no problem, there are many things along the way that take place that way, and this is how they scrutinize the people that want to be together and that's how the Creator wants to bring them closer or not. And we need to leave things as they are.

Student: Because on one hand, a person does something that the friends appreciate, so he understands that he's given a good example, and we talk about example. But the respect eats him up, it doesn't let him advance in spirituality?

M. Laitman: That he pays for.

Student: That's the price?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, a student needs to think how to perform actions that he won't be prideful from. Not before everyone but within themselves.

Student: In other words, when he gets respect or a compliment. What is he supposed to do?

M. Laitman: That his annulment should be a true annulment.

Student: I'll think about it. Thank you.

M. Laitman: That's something that's really not simple, yes. The Creator plays with this, He suddenly awakens a person, and for a moment, he starts to be prideful and falls. And if he doesn't fall that's even worse because he has no sign of a fall. Well?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:43) How does one give an example in annulment?

M. Laitman: Example in annulment? Simply from out of life, you know, life, when you show friends the way in which you keep to your daily schedule. And your studies and all your commitments to the society, and that's how it is. First, in such a way.

Student: I'll try to insist on that. Sometimes the Creator sends situations to a person when he cannot do these things that you just said. Although, in his heart, he really wants to. He yearns but he can't. And then many complaints come up.

M. Laitman: Yes, so?

Student: How do we overcome these complaints in the Ten?

M. Laitman: They didn't overcome, he has to execute everything that comes to him, which he must perform, and this is how it will come to him. Okay?

Question (Ashkelon 2): (20:11) My question is to continue the last question: A person has nothing of himself. He receives everything from the Creator, everything that's done with him.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: Afterwards, he has to give an account: Why did you do this, why did you do that?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But there's nothing in it that's me. So, what's the right way to participate in this process?

M. Laitman: I don't know, to answer correctly, what is said.

Student: To observe, to learn what to do in order to advance?

M. Laitman: Learn, observe, cry.

Student: So, is this our participation?

M. Laitman: Yours.

Student: Mine, yes, of course.

Question (Karmiel): (21:31) How can we collect all the desires of the friends in one place and how do we realize it?

M. Laitman: Incorporate together, and you can do that, and then all your desires will be in one general art. And then you can implement what you feel in this heart. Good luck!

Student: Can one person collect all of it inside of him?

M. Laitman: For that, we need to have several friends that are truly doing that work. Annulling themselves towards the center of the society, okay?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:35) I heard you say before that you still have a problem that some people have their noses stuck up.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What exactly is the problem, what does it mean that a person is growing with his nose stuck up? He wants to bring out his own uniqueness, so to speak.

M. Laitman: He may be giving an example that is not good. That he does it in such kind of a kind of a wiseness or smart aleck way that it's not it's not understood to us. It seems like he's concealing himself, pleasant, kind of nice, until you can forcefully take him out of his concealment, yes?

Student: How do we come to a state where the society is a society? Where you have one spirit over all of us, and that we follow?

M. Laitman: That is not simple, that's not for now, I hope that you will reach that. But no matter what, in every case, don't go according to what was defined, now. What was decided now. These are not things that there's a very big evil inclination against it, no. You'll succeed. Okay, guys. I need to go. And what's today?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:25) Updates

Reader: (28:01) Announcements. We'll end with a song.
