Part 1 Rabash. Letter 11

Reader: We're reading in the writings of Rabash, chapter 39, in the letters area of the writings, we're in Letter number 11. You can find the study material in Sviva Tova, in the Arvut system, and you can send live questions as well. Whoever wants to ask a question here in the study hall should stand up, hold the microphone close to one's mouth, and speak loud and clear.

The Writings of Rabash, Letter # 11.

To the friends, may the Lord be upon you,

…and perhaps this is the meaning of what we say at the Mussaf service (additional to the regular service) of Rosh Hashanah (beginning of the Jewish year), “Happy is the man who does not forget You, and a man who exerts in You.” We should understand, if one always remembers the Creator, what other effort is there?

In “Assistance of Our Father” (part of the service), before the Eighteen Prayer, we say, “Happy is a man who hears Your commandments, and places You Torah (teaching/law) and Your words on his heart.” We should understand, 1) he should have said, “Who observes Your commandments, 2) what is “Torah” and what are “words,” 3) What is the connection between placing the Torah and the heart; it should have said, “on the mind.”

Our sages said about “Kingship, Memories, Horns”: “Kingship, so you will make Me king over you. Memories, so that your memory shall come before Me. And with what? With a Shofar (horn).” We should understand the meaning of memories, since there is no forgetting before the throne, so how can it be said, “So that your memory shall come before Me”? Also, if we blow then the Creator remembers us; how can this be said? In corporeality, the sound awakens a person who is asleep, but how can this be said about the Creator?

However, all these verses and saying of our sages advise us how to cling to Him, since our only flaw is that we do not feel His greatness. When we begin to criticize as in, “What is this work,” we want to promptly receive everything as Ohr Pnimi (Inner Light). And you know that the Inner Light shines specifically when there are Masach and Ohr Hozer (Reflected Light), meaning clean Kelim. But Behina Dalet receives from the Ohr Makif (Surrounding Light), since Ohr Makif shines from afar, as it is written in Tree of Life.

This means that even if a person is still remote from the Creator and does not have equivalence of form, he can receive from the Surrounding Light. The ARI wrote that the Surrounding Light is greater than the Inner Light. That is, when can one receive when he is still remote? Only when he increases the greatness and importance of the Surrounding Light, meaning the exaltedness of the Creator and the importance of the light of Torah. Then he can receive illumination from afar.

We must believe that all the beauty of Creation is in the internality of the Torah. But faith requires great efforts. This is the meaning of, “Happy is the man who does not forget You.” How is one rewarded with this? By “exerting in You.”

There are two meanings to the “You”: 1) You, meaning the Creator; 2) In the Creator who is clothed in the twenty-two letters of the Torah.

Also, “Happy is a man who hears Your commandments,” meaning rewarded with hearing. It advises us how to be rewarded through “Your Torah and Your words.”

In other words, he believes that the whole Torah is the words of the Creator, meaning that “You” is clothed in the twenty-two letters of the Torah. We need to pay attention to this, as you know what Baal HaSulam said, that the mind only serves the man, but the man is primarily the heart.

This is the meaning of “kingship,” that you will crown Me over you.” That is, an act that will inspire us so that we take upon ourselves the burden of the Kingdom of Heaven. But we see that promptly after the reception we forget about the reception. At that time, we are advised, “so that your memory shall come before Me,” meaning before the Creator. That is, all the memory we have should work only to remember the Creator. This means that memories are like kingships, meaning that we need to be inspired.

And with what? With the Shofar (horn). You probably know that the ARI interprets Shofar to mean the Shofar of Ima, Shofar of Bina. Shofar means beauty, and Baal HaSulam explains that beauty is Hochma that extends from Bina that has returned to being Hochma. By a person believing that all the beauty and importance are in Hochma, in which all the pleasures are included, and all that is missing is corrections, so a person wants to remember good things, since human nature is to forget only bad things.

Therefore, we must believe that everything has been prepared for us, and we will be rewarded with remembering and not forgetting the Creator for even a minute, and we will be awarded good writing and signing.

From me.

M. Laitman: Does someone want to ask, please?

Question (Internet):

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:52) It's written that a person can receive from the surrounding light, and the more from the equivalence of form. What does it mean to receive from the surrounding light?

M. Laitman: As we learn, the light influences the vessel and awakens it, arranges the correct real situation, for right now, And all of it is through the expansion of the light, the activation of the light in the vessel. So, in the same way, we have to understand that that special light that comes to us from the Creator gives a person a feeling, where a person is, in what he is, why, etc. And this is what we must not forget, that our whole internal situation comes to us only through the action of the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:49) What does it mean, to merit a matter of memory?

M. Laitman: A person begins his spiritual development in a state where he doesn't understand or know or has no awakening, correct awakening. Even though he is under a constant influence of the light. And it continues this way until he begins to feel entries and exits, in contact with the light, with the Creator. In a way that determines for him his whole life. And then he is in a state where each moment in his life, he understands and feels and accepts it as coming to him through the influence of the reforming light. The light that corrects him, educates him, and leads him from state to state. And this is how he sees life. Then he sees life this way, that's clear.

Question Petah Tikva Center: (13:36) It is written, the whole memory we have needs to operate only to remember the Creator. And in the end, also, that we will be rewarded with remembering and not forgetting the Creator for even a minute. What does it mean to remember the Creator?

M. Laitman: Remembering that the Creator is the reason for everything that happens, that There Is None Else Besides Him. And we have to always be in this, that's the most important. That, the Creator is the landlord, the operator, and extends everything that happens with us.

Student: Why is that important?

M. Laitman: Because it's a sign that a person already has the right perception of reality.

Question Petah Tikva Center: (14:39) Rabash gives a certain logic to what, to continue what the friend is saying. That a person needs to reach adhesion with the Creator. In order to reach adhesion with the Creator, he needs to reach a state of hearing, and it says, blessed is the man who hears your commandments. To come to that, he has to remember. In order to come to remembering, he has to come to a state where he depicts the connection with the Creator as a beautiful thing all the time. What is, blessed is the man who will hear your commandments. We also say, Hear O Israel, what is this hear?

M. Laitman: When a person begins to hear that sometimes, and perhaps even constantly, he is in such a connection with the Creator that he speaks with Him.

Student: What is hearing, is it like a certain sense, like we hear in our world?

M. Laitman: It's a force that a person can operate in order to remain in contact with the Creator. Yes, He hears.

Student: He says, hear?

M. Laitman: Yes, he hears. Hearing is a type of connection.

Student: He says two things here: Blessed is a person who hears, and, a person who merits remembrance.

M. Laitman: Well, hearing is something that's constantly renewed. And memory is what a person can constantly renew from himself but from what already happened. In other words, hearing is one thing, and remembering is another thing. Remembering, or memory, is when a person renews it. And hearing is when a person hears with a sense of hearing.

Student: So, memory needs to be constant, all the time work on the memory, and then there's something that you merit, which is hearing?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:14) He writes here that all the beauty in creation is the internality of the Torah. What does he mean that the beauty of creation is in the internality of creation?

M. Laitman: The internality of the Torah is the light that spreads in a person's vessels. And this is how a person detects it, feels it, and is in contact, in connection with the Creator. And there, he attains everything that the Creator wants him to attain.

Student: He continues and writes that the matter of faith is something that you need to effort, greatly?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Is faith also a part, is it part of the internality of the Torah?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course.

Student: Why does he relate to it, but, to faith we need to exert greatly?

M. Laitman: Faith is connection with the Creator to the extent, or according to how, a person attains the internality of the Torah.

Student: Throughout the letter he writes, that as long as a person is distant from the Creator, he has no equivalence of form, he can still receive if he has the greatness of the Creator. He doesn't until then, so how do you sustain His greatness while you're distant from Him?

M. Laitman: But then you can talk about a person exerting and maintaining the greatness of the Creator when the Creator is removed.

Student: In what is He great if they say that He's distant from a person?

M. Laitman: Just as we say that he contains all and encompasses all of reality, There Is None Else Besides Him. The whole impression of a person from the Creator is that He manages him and opens for him new horizons.

Student: So, when a person reaches the equivalence of form, he doesn't need the greatness of the Creator, he doesn't work with that anymore?

M. Laitman: He constantly hangs on to this, it's not like now he doesn't need it. Rather, now he has a different work. If you say he comes to such attainment that he no longer has what to attain, so he hangs on to what he had before. But that, too, is not good, because the Creator is Ein Sof, infinity. That's why a person always has more and more and more to advance to.

Student: Because he simply writes here that as long as a person is still distant, then only if he has the greatness of the Creator, he can receive through the surrounding light?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's already with respect to a person's personal perception. When he has a feeling that he attains the Creator. And, also, that attainment is constantly being corrected more and more. And then he has a difference between yesterday and today.

Student: It's clear, but it's still not considered attainment in the vessels, it's still not a direct connection with the Creator, yet?

M. Laitman: A direct connection with the Creator is also measured according to the quality of the vessels. A person doesn't receive the Creator just like that, as he is, that's impossible.

Student: The relations between the person and the Creator, are they always through surrounding light? Or does he eventually come to a state where the relations?

M. Laitman: Surrounding light and inner light, with both these lights.

Question Petah Tikva Center: (21:55) How, by a person remembering the Creator in opposite states to the Creator, how does that advance a person?

M. Laitman: The fact that a person makes an effort, it's written about it. The fact that a person exerts or makes efforts, more and more each time to summon to himself inspiration, excitement, impressions from the Creator, this advances him. And then he awakens, scrutinizes, brings closer, draws his contact with the Creator.

Student: That state of efforting in you, where he's constantly looking for the same impression and feeling from the Creator. Is it enough that he makes an effort in this, or does he expect something?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, he constantly expects to feel the Creator more and more each time.

Student: And if he doesn't feel the Creator more and more but only exerts in her?

M. Laitman: He has to correct his vessels.

Student: What helps him when he's exerting and not feeling?

M. Laitman: He's still looking in what way, how, by what, he can come closer and closer to the Creator from minute to minute.

Student: How do we renew the remembering in the Creator?

M. Laitman: Only through a prayer.

Student: How can a person receive while he's distant from the Creator? What does he receive when he's distant from Him?

M. Laitman: It seems that way to a person that he's distant or close, or close to something else already. There are changes but when he yearns for the nearness of the Creator, he wants the Creator to be revealed in his more internal vessels.

Student: What is the illumination from afar?

M. Laitman: The illumination from afar, as we can imagine, it's all said in the language of people. Illumination from afar means something that there is no complete reception in but there is still an illumination that gives you a direction, more than more internal discernments.

Student: How does the illumination from afar guide him?

M. Laitman: Through the illumination from afar, he comes to the inner illumination more and more and more.

Student: How does that illumination from afar awaken him to have this direction, this inclination towards the Creator?

M. Laitman: It's the nature of the illumination from afar that he awakens a person.

Student: How does he awaken it, for it to awaken him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How?

M. Laitman: How, by learning, by wanting to connect, by wanting to scrutinize things. And then by this, he begins to attain his perception of the Creator, of His operations, more and more. Of course, it's related to the Ten.

Student: Exactly here, the Ten has been missing to me because it sounds like it's always the person before the Creator. Exerting anew, where do we exert here, anew?

M. Laitman: They don't always speak of the society, they speak from the perspective of an individual, but they mean that he is in a Ten?

Student: Can a Ten feel together that they're seemingly in this dialogue with the Creator?

M. Laitman: It's possible but it's not a simple action.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:38) The surrounding light which he compares here to the greatness of the Creator, yes? Meaning, as far as the exaltedness of the Creator, that's the surrounding light, he says here. Now, the surrounding light is outside the vessel, and the vessel can only work with what it has within. So, what’s the mechanism of the inner light is clear. It enters through the Rosh, expands in the body, in the Guf. How does the surrounding light have any effect on the body, what's the connection between them?

M. Laitman: The surrounding light surrounds, as its name, that's the way it is. And that's why it has a constant access, connection, to the vessel.

Student: How can the Kli feel it if it's outside of me? We say that outside of the Kli we have no attainment?

M. Laitman: Outside of the vessel means we have no vessels.

Student: Yes, so how does it operate?

M. Laitman: It operates because it comes from above, and it has the possibility to operate however it wants. It comes from the Creator, and through the Creator, it is governed by the Creator. But a person can nevertheless approach it and ask to connect, pray. And in this way bring to himself the surrounding lights closer until they prepare the vessels, the inner vessels. So, a person can receive that same light in internal vessels.

Student: It talks here about the importance of remembering the Creator. A person with a not so good memory, like dementia to one degree or another. Does he have no chance?

M. Laitman: There is no such thing, this is something completely different.

Student: What is spiritually remembering the Creator?

M. Laitman: To remember in the spiritual sense means that he is not letting, actually, that's more correct. He doesn't let the impression from the Creator leave him, move away from him.

Student: If you're constantly forgetting, that’s just the Creator, forget everything, all kinds of things.

M. Laitman: It's a sign you're not working on it enough, there is no other reason.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (29:38) We're talking about the advice on how to adhere to the Creator, and he writes about this. That it's possible to implement through kingship, remembering, and the Shofars. But the kingships to crown him and remember him, he says it's within our impression that it has to happen, and all of this in the Shofar. What does that mean?

M. Laitman: The Shofar, the festive horn, means Shofar, which is good. It is when we extol and appreciate the Creator and elevate Him more and more.

Student: By that, we can add in the kingships and the remembering?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. That's the meaning of, extolling the Creator more and more in our eyes. And then our vessels become greater, renewed, and then we can perceive the Creator more truthfully.

Student: It's not clear, if so, that it's written here, to go out of the exertion. Why leave the work of drawing in inner light? There's the importance of the Creator, there's the exertion of a person?

M. Laitman: There's a difference between inner light and surrounding light. In surrounding light, we have no boundaries, it's the light of an infinity, no end. Which, we to some extent and in some way, we accept it is as a distant illumination of the Creator, a general illumination on all of us. Whereas, the inner light, it more, sort of, explains to us where we are, what concrete quality we are now scrutinizing, and with what we become equalized. Because the matter follows only according to the equivalence of form between the Creator and the created being. And it scrutinizes for us through the external surrounding illumination to a more internal illumination. And in this way, we can advance.

Student: Most of our work is the work with the surrounding light?

M. Laitman: It depends on what state you're in, what degree you're in.

Student: When do we move from working on the surrounding light, which is the importance, and exerting and remembering?

M. Laitman: When a person thinks that this is what he needs now, what's the question?

Student: What's more important in our work, to eventually come to work with the internal light, with the inner light?

M. Laitman: Well, to come to work completely with inner light, I don't think we can see it as a goal, for now. But of course, ideally, it's desirable.

Student: It turns out that we have the ability to approach, as far as we're concerned, in the work only with the surrounding light. We don't control the work with the inner light.

M. Laitman: No, no, incorrect, why is it exert in you, etc.? We need to try to feel the Creator, filling all of reality, as well as us. And we, ourselves, are approaching a perception of the whole of reality.

Student: When do we make that transition from working with the surrounding light? We talked about, again, the greatness and the importance, remembering Him? When do we move to working with inner light? Or does it not depend on us, it comes from above, and we just work with what comes to us?

M. Laitman: No, we draw these lights, this already talks about a person participating in drawing the lights.

Student: Drawing the inner light?

M. Laitman: Inner light, surrounding light, it doesn't matter.

Student: How to differentiate between, well, what do I need to do right now? I have a certain state, how do I know if I have to work towards the surrounding light or towards the inner light?

M. Laitman: You don't feel them, that's why you're saying this. But, first of all, we have to come to a state where we distinguish between these two lights. And then we connect to them and work with both of them, together.

Student: The surrounding light is the condition, is the work with the surrounding light a proceeding condition to work later with the inner light?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:39) It’s written that you can receive the inner light in pure vessels, where there's a screen and perfect light in there?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: That's really the pleasure of the inner light, right? It’s the work with pleasure itself?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And the surrounding light, does it have pleasure, or what's the feeling? A precise question: Does the surrounding light have pleasure working with this light?

M. Laitman: Of course it does, the light is always pleasure. But it gives the person who attains it, gives them attainment. This is what I attain, and this is what is still ahead of me.

Student: So, it's explained that the surrounding light is all that light that the Creator wants to give to the created being, but he cannot yet receive it in the vessels.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: The greatness and the importance that we receive in the work, that, comes from the surrounding light. And when the inner light clothes and the person receives pleasure, you said it's already a different work. It's already working before the pleasure itself. But there, in the inner light, that's the state that we intended that the person holds on to and feels the greatness of the Creator, permanently?

M. Laitman: We have a problem here, that the Creator appears in all these possibilities, in all the cases. We have to distinguish by what we advance, through what we scrutinize our situation compared to Him. And by what we can nurture, clarify our situation with respect to Him.

Student: In a state where a person already has inner light, relative to the surrounding light, he has those two things. What as far as the person is more important to him, the inner light or the surrounding light?

M. Laitman: Both are important, of course, you have things in the inner light that if you don't attain, then you're hardly present. But, from the perspective of the inner light, it's important, for example: If I don't reach inner light on a certain degree, then I'm not in it, I'm simply not present. And I only have hope, that maybe in the future, but with respect to it, I have to reveal it. Besides, everything is arranged in such a way that on each complete degree, well, relatively complete, to where it is. We need to understand what are the differences between the inner light and surrounding light. And what is the possibility that we can advance, and by what we can advance more, through the inner light or surrounding light.

Student: If a person doesn't attain inner light yet, then he understands that he can't yet bring contentment to the Creator. Because the Creator wants to give him the pleasure, but he can't yet receive it? So, on one hand, it's the most exalted goal, to come to the state that he will have inner light. We say that a person needs to work in faith, and in faith, he doesn't need inner light. So, that's what I tried to feel, what is more important to a person. Whether it is to bring contentment to the Creator and to receive it? Or the reality in which he is in faith, which is all that's important to him?

M. Laitman: Every whole degree includes in it inner light and surrounding light The person attains in a certain relationship there, both of them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (41:26) It's written that, then we will merit memory and not forget the Creator for a moment. How do we come to a state where we constantly don't forget the Creator? And on the other hand, we're in the matter of Torah?

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: It's written here that a person's nature is to forget only bad things. And then we'll be rewarded with remembering, and to never forget the Creator, even for a moment. How do we come to such a state?

M. Laitman: By us yearning and awakening, only the impact of the lights upon us. And more and more we collect them, gather them, and increase our vessels in order to sustain them. And in those lights that are in them, and that's how we can, without any stops, without any sensations, continue towards receiving these lights.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:54) Why does he write that the surrounding light is very great, if a person hardly notices it?

M. Laitman: What example should I give you, I don't know. The surrounding light is the light of Ein Sof. And in each and every degree, we have a certain degree of Ein Sof that is revealed, o through this degree, to the person who's attaining. Therefore, we relate this way to the lights, surrounding light is certainly the light of Ein Sof. And a light that we're not capable of feeling in our vessel, somewhat. It's revealed through a special illumination from a higher up degree and is therefore called, surrounding. As we grasp it, perceive it, only as a light that surrounds us from a higher up degree, and this is the way we advance.

Student: What gives the Creator contentment in work with the surrounding light?

M. Laitman: The surrounding light points to our yearning, our passion, our direction. Our desire to develop, to adhere to a higher degree, and this is why it's important. In the inner light there is no such importance, there there's attainment, this moment. Even though it's already attainment within the vessels, nevertheless, the surrounding light is more respected, respectable.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (45:29) If I understand, correctly, he says here that the work of the heart is to receive the light of the kingdom of Heaven, and the next phase is only to remember it all the time and not forget. What does it mean to accept or to assume the burden of the kingdom of Heaven?

M. Laitman: We've talked about this already many times. Receiving the burden of the kingdom of Heaven is to receive that light which comes to us from the degree of the kingdom of Heaven, of Malchut of heaven. Which is, well, I don't know how to say this, Malchut Shamayim, the kingdom of Heaven, is another degree.

Student: Accepting something in the heart means wanting it to be. But they call it a burden, so what does it mean to want to receive a burden?

M. Laitman: Every degree we want to receive, feel, we need to receive from the vessels through which we attain the degree. And, otherwise, it won't be revealed enough, so, the burden of the kingdom of Heaven points to us wanting to receive upon us the kingdom of Heaven and all its limitations and to advance this way.

Student: Why does a person want to accept the burden of the kingdom of Heaven?

M. Laitman: He sees that it belongs to a higher degree.

Student: Which is better, more beautiful, more important?

M. Laitman: No, I don't think it's measured in an egoistic manner like you're saying. But that it's more important, yes. That it's more beautiful, that it's more beautiful by the Creator shining through her more. Meaning, in order to bestow, it is more important.

Student: Why does the heart agree to accept it, it wants it?

M. Laitman: The heart begins towards these degrees to be included, incorporated, by these degrees. And to receive them in the desirable manner, it's not clear?

Student: Yes it’s clear, let's put it this way: There's an egoistic heart, it wants only its own good, its own benefit. And then it talks about a process, learning, seeing the Torah. Extolling, exerting, of course, the phrase, which it doesn't mention, explicitly. But then there's a state where he really wants the kingdom of Heaven, he really wants it.

M. Laitman: Yes, he wants the upper Malchut, the upper kingship that is called, the kingship of Heaven, for it to manage him, control him.

Student: Why?

M. Laitman: Because he sees, knows, understands, feels, learns this way, that all his development is in the degree of this Malchut. Because he is Malchut, a person is Malchut, and then he wants to develop himself until he comes to a state in which this Malchut, this kingdom will be in Heaven. At a higher degree, the highest degree.

Student: This is without feeling that the ego gains something from it?

M. Laitman: No, along the way, of course he feels this, but he feels it as a disturbance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (50:18) Is there a way to draw surrounding light, not through the sources?

M. Laitman: Surrounding light is a light that comes from a higher degree, all the way to the degree of Ein Sof. And that's why we need to accordingly receive this light as we connect to higher-up degrees.

Student: We usually say, drawing surrounding light by reading in the sources, the sources we learn. The question is are there other ways to connect to the upper degree, not by means of written sources?

M. Laitman: If we don't have connection to a higher degree, which we connect to and receive from truly with all our discernments and the discernments of that degree. Such that we will extend and draw these lights from truly surrounding to less surrounding, until there's something in inner in us, as well. Until then, it won't happen.

Student: How do I connect to the upper degree?

M. Laitman: Through the environment, through our surroundings, there's no other possibility. Only through the environment, through the group, the Ten, a person can connect to a higher degree.

Student: What does the environment give through this connection?

M. Laitman: Vessels.

Student: How do I receive from them, vessels for what, for the upper degree?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do I receive from them, these vessels?

M. Laitman: To the extent in which I connect to the Ten, I have the possibility of connecting to the externality of the Ten and then to the internality of the Ten. And then, I can be in them in self-annulment, in reception of their essence and their authority, and that's how I advance.

Student: So, from them or through them, I receive the surrounding light?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question Petah Tikva Center: (53:12) When he writes, all the memory we have should work only to remember the Creator. We learn that we need to constantly remember that behind the friend stands the Creator. That, in any situation, when a person succeeds, somehow, that behind the friend stands the Creator, what should we remember? That the Creator now has arranged for me, through the friend a situation, a certain relation toward Him? Why does the Creator always arrange, what should we remember regarding everything that has to do with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: Now there is a certain situation, or a relation is revealed to me, with respect to the friend. And I already remember, I can remember that it's actually the Creator who set it up, it's not the friend, it's the Creator. What does the Creator always want to tell me through any situation He sets up for me through the friend?

M. Laitman: To remind you that the friend is truly a transition between a person and the Creator.

Student: That the friend is a means for connection with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And if I succeed in seeing this? In other words, if I can already see this, what does it do to the relation I had a second to go toward the friend, if it was a bad relation?

M. Laitman: Of course, you now change your attitude towards the friend. You start relating to him like to the Creator. You accept him as being one from a higher degree, which is under the Creator towards the created being. And the person is in that, and that is how you climb.

Student: There cannot be a situation where I see that my relation toward the Creator is a bad relation through the friend?

M. Laitman: Could be.

Student: Then what do I do?

M. Laitman: And then you correct your attitude.

Student: How do I correct my relation to the Creator which was revealed to me through the friend? Through the friend, I now discover that my attitude to the Creator is bad?

M. Laitman: Then you have the opportunity to correct.

Student: What does it mean that now I'm correcting my attitude, my relation to the Creator?

M. Laitman: You respect Him more than you did before.

Student: The friend?

M. Laitman: The Creator.

Student: The Creator, and toward the friend, as a result?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (56:33) You said we have to make efforts to summon within us impressions and inspiration from the Creator. And to also expect to feel the Creator more and more. Sometimes we say it doesn't matter what I feel, as long as I want the friends to feel the Creator. That the friends will feel excitement, inspiration. So, which is more correct, or both of them are goals?

M. Laitman: Both.

Student: So, it's not an egoistic goal that I too expect to feel something?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:16) He writes that, for faith we need great efforts. Recently, you said that to be rewarded with complete faith, or the light of faith, is something great that doesn't limit a person. What is it about faith that lifts a person out of his limitations?

M. Laitman: Faith is light from a higher degree, it's a light that can correct the whole vessel, from the smallest to the greatest, without any limitations. And that's why connecting from each of our states to the light of faith is called, inviting upon oneself the correction of the vessel.

Student: To come out of limitation, out of the vessel, is also about how much I become incorporated with the environment, I connect myself to it?

M. Laitman: Well, there are many means there.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (59:09) I heard that a person has to take upon himself the authority of the Ten. What does it mean to accept the authority of the Ten?

M. Laitman: The authority of the Ten, it's control. That whatever is acceptable in the Ten, it is clear that it doesn't include him. He receives it as a necessary thing.

Student: What does it mean, if it's clear, it doesn't include him?

M. Laitman: Well, as a Ten, it includes him. And here, it's like he's cleaning himself off of being in the Ten. Well, in short, you could say it this way: That he sees, he wants to see himself as a part of the Ten that he completes, this Ten, to a higher degree.

Student: This completion, how does it happen, how does a person clear himself from this calculation?

M. Laitman: Usually, a person needs, it could be that with us, it's not included in one action. But we need to see that, again the question?

Student: How does a person clear himself out from the calculation and completes the Ten?

M. Laitman: From this individual calculation?

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: Well, so we talked about the fact that he has an impression from the surrounding light. And that he wants to arrange himself in the correct manner towards the surrounding light. That’s, we could say it simpler.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:01:42) First of all, I have to share, there's a lot of concern from all the friends in the Kli for your well-being and your health. We received many, many messages, yesterday. This is number one, number two, in the evening, we read the letters in the Ten as preparation for the day and there was a lot of excitement in the air, a lot of importance. It felt a lot like we're reading, now, like surrounding light that we don't attain but it's special. And actually, in the lesson it allows it to come in at a level that, yesterday, it couldn't enter, It remained special and sublime. In the lesson, because of the questions of the friends, it can be clothed within. What happens in the lesson that allows the material to kind of?

Student: Because we're connecting, without the lesson, we're not connecting therefore, we have no vessel to absorb this light that we're awakening. And in the lesson when we somewhat incorporate, practically, and besides that, the matter itself that we're learning brings us the incorporation with the Kabbalists and the subject matter. And this operates on its own already., this is why the main thing is to, nevertheless, not distance ourselves from the sources.

Student: There's a combination here: On the one hand, there's the source, on the other hand, there's preparation and the intention of the friends in the Ten. And then there's also another stage, which is in the lesson, itself.

M. Laitman: When we seek forces in the lesson itself that will advance us. According to that subject matter, that path, that source is supposed to awaken in us.

Student: What is the most important element in the lesson in the desire of the friends to hang on to, to cling, to Rabash through you?

M. Laitman: We learn, both the articles and the reading of the articles that Rabash writes. And in this we have many discernments that we don't yet discover in us, but they're already there. And this is why it's a very important thing.

Question (Women Turkiye 8, UK 1): (01:05:27) Quoting from the end of the article, “Therefore, we have to believe that everything has been prepared for us, and we will be rewarded with remembering and not forgetting the Creator for even a minute, and we will be rewarded with good writing and signing”. So, what does it mean to be rewarded with good writing and signing?

M. Laitman: That eventually, we expect having contact towards the end of the path, with the end of the path. And for all our desires, thoughts, and intentions will be felt as they all connect to the end of the path. And from there, receive an illumination as surrounding light, as inner light, and for this to give us the attainment of that degree, that's it.

Question (Women Moscow 8): (01:07:22) Can we call the force of faith above reason, surrounding light?

M. Laitman: In certain cases, yes, sometimes, yes.

Question (Latin 4) (01:07:48) A few days ago, you suggested for a friend to leave his music, if it doesn't help him reach the goal. So, he left the music, and this advice really struck me. My question is, is the advice of the teacher a surrounding light?

M. Laitman: I can't answer that question in a precise manner, I need to know everything that has to do with that friend, in that case.

Student (Petah Tikva Center): The friend is asking if your advice is, actually, like a surrounding light. And by wanting to implement them out of that desire, they become within us as inner light?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, that's correct.

Question (H 10): (01:09:09) How can I hold a friend, so he feels confidence and an illumination, at least from afar?

M. Laitman: For that, you first need to come close to him, unite with him as much as possible on the current degree that you can connect in. And then from that you can begin to do all kinds of states of ascents, descents, and something between you, in each and every state.

Student: On what does it depend how much I can come closer?

M. Laitman: What does it depend upon, on the degree you're in, on your forces.

Question (Holland): (01:10:05) We're here for the preparation for the KabU Retreat here in Holland, friends together. The question is, what does it actually mean, he who places the Torah on his heart? What sort of lights are we relating to, here?

M. Laitman: The light of Hochman, usually.

Student: Are there different degrees in the light of Hochma?

M. Laitman: Of course, you have all the degrees in the light of Hochma. And besides, you have the light of Hassadim which is really the light of correction of creation.

Student: So how can we create happiness right now, let's say, between us all?

M. Laitman: Want it and depict to ourselves as if you're about to receive it.

Student: What do we need to do to want to receive it?

M. Laitman: What do we need to do? The main thing is to try and implement it in the connection between us.

Question (Turkiye 2): (01:12:01) How can the Ten serve the kingdom of Heaven, or accept, or assume the kingdom of Heaven?

M. Laitman: The Ten should try to feel the next degree, when Malchut of Ein Sof, the general Malchut. The general desire of the Creator puts before them as a goal and to try and be together in attaining that same goal.

Question (Turkiye 7): (01:12:52) Usually, we don't feel that There Is None Else Besides Him, and He Is Good And Does Good. Do the upper concerns, the states, that we feel and is this what we need to ask from the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Student: How should we place the light in that state, how do we demand the light?

M. Laitman: We need to demand the light when it shows us, still where we are in disparity of form from the Creator. And according to that, we'll understand what we should correct, what we can correct. And we'll ask for that correction from the surrounding light.

Student (PT 6): (01:14:05) Two days ago, in the last evening lesson, you said that there's no such thing as surrounding light, so to speak. All the lights are within the vessel and it's just vague, vague, unclear to the vessel. There are no clear distinctions, discernments. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to explain that way.

M. Laitman: Did you understand what he wanted?

Reader: He says that what he heard in a lesson that took place this week, a recorded lesson. You said that there's no such thing as surrounding light but it's within the vessel, except it's vague to us, so we call that surrounding light.

M. Laitman: That's true, you can say that, I don't remember exactly what it was about, but the light of Ein Sof is divided into inner light and surrounding light. The surrounding light is something the vessel still needs to reveal. And the inner light is what it already had revealed.

Question (Kyiv 1) (01:15:40) Remembering the Creator always, today, we said that a person takes upon himself the burden of the kingdom of Heaven. So, for that state to always be in front of us, what kind of light do we need Inner light, surrounding light, which light?

M. Laitman: We need light, in what way will it come to us, that's not important. That depends on our degree, our state, but we need the upper light. The upper light is the Creator, and it needs to come upon us and show us all the details in all our states. We are dependent on it.

Student: How can we make it so that that light is between us?

M. Laitman: As much as we try to remind each other, between the friends, that's what brings the light upon us.

Student: This atmosphere where we remind each other, amongst the friends, is that the light? What is the light, is it what we feel in the Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes, the light is what is revealed between us, later on through our work. As much as our vessels will be more suitable for the light, then the light can be revealed in the internality of the vessel.

Question (Hadera 1): (01:17:32) Actually everything a person feels, even in corporeality, those are small doses of light. So, my question is, the light does not enter Malchut and there is a vessel of Keter which is already pure, and the light enters it. The first nine Sefirot of Keter but does the light also enter Malchut?

M. Laitman: Stop working on speculations, it won't help you. You won't be able through all your wisdom and science and math or whatever there you calculate, you'll never be able to calculate correctly. You need to know what the essence of the vessels is. And this approach won't help you.

Student: I'm just trying to understand where the surrounding light is and where the inner light is. Because the inner light enters the vessels, but does it also enter Malchut a little bit, or does it never enter Malchut?

M. Laitman: I can't even explain it because what I will say will also be true and not true. We have to learn in an emotional way, emotionally, what the light is, the upper light and how it organizes the vessels. Until then, I can't do anything with you.

Student: Can I also ask Rav? Remembering is when we reach a state of the purification of the Masach. Where then in the inner light, I have equivalence of form, the remember is regarding the surrounding light, where there is equivalence of form, that's why it's called far. Because we're in inequivalence of form, disparity of form and therefore we feel it as the striking, as pressure. Is that correct, that the moment we conclude the work on a certain degree, the work begins with remembering and then we again start acquiring the light of faith. And then again working through the surrounding lights, rising to a new degree, is that right?

M. Laitman: Could be, we have to hear everything about that. Let's go to the next part of the lesson.

Reader: And before we move to the next part of the lesson, let's sing a song.

Song: (01:20:37)
