Part 1: Baal HaSulam. A Speech for the Completion of The Zohar

Reader: Hello, we are reading from the book, The Writings of Baal HaSulam - A Speech for the Completion of the Zohar, we’re starting from the section where it begins with, “Now we understand how right our sages were.” You can find the study material of the lesson on our websites and platforms, Sviva Tova and the Arvut System and you can ask questions during the live broadcast on those sites. Here in the study hall, anyone who is wishing to ask a question is requested to stand up, hold the mic close to their mouth, and speak loudly and clearly. The Writings of Baal HaSulam, “A Speech for the Completion of the Zohar”, starting from the paragraph, “Now we understand how right our sages were.”

Reading: (00:53) Now we understand how right our sages were when they interpreted the verse, “and to adhere to Him,” as Dvekut with His qualities—“As He is merciful, so you are merciful; as He is compassionate, so you are compassionate.” They did not deflect the text from the literal meaning. Quite the contrary, they interpreted the text precisely according to its literal meaning, since spiritual Dvekut can only be depicted as equivalence of form. Hence, by equalizing our form with the form of His qualities, we become attached to Him.

This is why they said, “as He is merciful.” In other words, all His actions are to bestow and benefit others, and not at all for His own benefit, since He has no deficiencies that require complementing. And also, He has no one from whom to receive. Similarly, all your actions will be to bestow and to benefit others. Thus, you will equalize your form with the form of the qualities of the Creator, and this is spiritual Dvekut.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:11) All of His actions are to bestow but that's His quality, it's to bestow and I, my quality is to receive. So how do we tell me so simply that as He is a bestower, so you should bestow? I’ve been built the opposite to that.

M. Laitman: But you can get that quality from Him.

Student: So, the instruction is that all your actions are to bestow and to benefit others. What does it mean, that I should bestow?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But I'm not a bestower, I'm a receiver

M. Laitman: But you can reach bestow.

Student: How?

M. Laitman: Ask, ask and receive. You'll receive the quality of bestow and then you can bestow.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:32) What does He want, for me to reach equivalence of form, or that we will request?

M. Laitman: That we will ask and receive from Him, that quality, and then bestow.

Student: Seemingly, it needs to be a precise request because, otherwise, why would He not tell us to come to a request? Why does He tell us to reach equivalence of form?

M. Laitman: Because that is not our final form; I need specifically that – to be a bestower just like the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:32) If we learn the qualities of the Creator? How do we learn from the qualities of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Out of the fact that we develop in a certain reality which is this world. We can learn from nature and try to learn from the Creator how to be similar to Him.

Student: How exactly do you learn from the Creator?

M. Laitman: By studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, I learn what does it mean to bestow. And how much He is bestowing, 100% by His nature, and I need to reach that same state.

Student: They say that you should learn from Him as he is compassionate and merciful, so be like Him. But in my eyes, I don't see that, I see that He is aggressive, stubborn, and also aggressive sometimes, so what exactly should we learn from Him?

M. Laitman: Learn from Him how to be the bestower. I can't find another word.

Student: I still don't find a way of how to learn from Him, or it simply comes to you, that there is nothing to learn. He will teach you or is there something that I do need to learn from Him? Like I look at you and I learn from you, behavior, an attitude, this relationship, I absorb it. Or it simply just comes and dwells in me?

M. Laitman: Maybe it comes and lands within you. He says that we can demand that this will happen and that each one of us, and all of us, will receive the quality of bestowal.

Student: What exactly do I demand?

M. Laitman: You demand to be the bestower.

Student: Which I don't even know what it is.

M. Laitman: Yes, of course, so much so.

Student: Where do we see that the Creator bestows?

M. Laitman: We don't see that in our own qualities because they are the opposite of bestowal. It's like a little child who lives in his own world, the world of the little ones with toys and games. And everything seems to him to be built in such a way, he accepts it as something that is natural. But when he grows up, he starts to understand that it's not built in such a way but rather it was built for Him. And there is nothing here, as it seems to him in his own eyes, that this is how it exists. And then he begins to get to know the world.

Student: When he grows up, he understands, he starts understanding the world but in the beginning when he's small, he gets an example. How do you work with what you don't see?

M. Laitman: This is why we were given commandments, meaning to perform actions. The primary, direct, action is love your friend as yourself and we have to keep it even though we don't want to and we don't quite understand. But rather, we need to try to get closer to it and then we will learn from that.

Student: I need to believe that He is a bestower?

M. Laitman: Yes, there is also some kind of faith, here.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:00) The Creator is always a bestower?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Even if it lands on a person, it happens at the beginning of the path. A feeling, a desire, even during the path, this feeling comes to a person of what it means to bestow. If it comes and the person has no suitable vessel, so then it simply disappears and nothing remains of that. Maybe just some small record and maybe it also isn't felt, it’s as if it disappears from the world. What is the nature of the Kli, of the vessel, which always remains positioned for a person? It's always there for a person, what needs to be in that vessel? What's it made of?

M. Laitman: The will to receive.

Student: Yes, the will to receive as matter that exists. But what should we do with the will to receive so that it remains as a vessel, so that through it we'll always be able to bestow as the Creator bestows?

M. Laitman: It needs to be inverted so it bestows.

Student: What is it that lands on a person and disappears compared to it coming to a person and remaining, there? Sometimes it disappears but there's always this desire and this thought about bestowal.

M. Laitman: A person is capable of reaching states to which the Creator brings him in a way that he sees a part of himself as a bestower and a part of himself as a receiver. A person, specifically, can actually differentiate between these two qualities or these two forms of behavior.

Student: He can include the two of them, simultaneously?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: The part of bestowal, because the instructions here says that you have to be like the Creator. It's not that it's given to you from above and it disappears, but what brings a person to truly be a bestower? Not for a certain moment where it's seemingly something that the Creator does. But to be a bestower for the long term, for eternity, to always be a bestower, otherwise it's the person who does that?

M. Laitman: It's the influence of the Creator when the Creator pressures him and He forcefully imparts it on a person. So that he doesn't feel free in his world, filled, fulfilled, understanding. But rather each time he's under some pressure and he has opportunities to invert his nature.

Student: That pushes him to reach that?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But what does it mean that he reaches that?

M. Laitman: He reaches it only if the Creator replaces his nature.

Student: That replacement is constant? It's always, all the time?

M. Laitman: At first, no, in order for the person to attain the difference between these two qualities. But later on, it's for eternity.

Student: What happens in that vessel in the person who reaches, truly, a state which is constantly in bestowal? Why does that happen for one person and for someone else it doesn't happen? What is special about that vessel?

M. Laitman: What is special is that that person receives the quality of bestowal and it operates within him, permanently.

Student: Let's say I want it to be constant, what should I work on in order for it to be constant?

M. Laitman: On the prayer.

Student: To work for there always to be a prayer, that I will always be in a prayer.

M. Laitman: That you are constantly in a request that the Creator will bestow upon you this movement.

Student: Meaning, the person's ability to constantly be in that thing is that he always has connection with the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: He always needs to be in such a connection with the Creator so that He will always sustain this quality for him. It can never be my own individually in a detached way but it always has to be in connection with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:48) First, you answered that in order to be like the Creator, a bestower, you need to request bestowal. I wanted to ask, what does that request need to include? And how should that request be composed in order for it to work?

M. Laitman: It has to be one and complete.

Student: Complete means from the depths of the heart?

M. Laitman: From the bottom of the heart and that besides that a person cannot have any more requests.

Student: Now, in order to reach that is a process, it cannot be that I just sit and study and I reach the depth of the heart. It needs to be at every moment, how do we reach that? It needs to work, how do we reach that stage?

M. Laitman: Through exercises which we do in the correct environment with the friends and we learn how to imagine it. How to approach it, how to become incorporated in that action.

Student: Does it also need to be hatred of evil in order to request to be a bestower?

M. Laitman: Yes because, all in all, we are a will to receive. We have to start from that, to start the change within us.

Student: There cannot be a true request if I don't have hatred for the will to receive. Hatred needs to be, as you said, a request from the depth of the heart; hatred also needs to be very strong?

M. Laitman: Yes, apparently, so.

Student: Complete hatred?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:55) We are a will to receive pleasure and delight and the Creator made us to enjoy from the will to receive and not from the will to bestow.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: The Creator said, bestow, request bestowal. Which I understand is enjoy from bestowal, meaning you'll enjoy, anyway, but from the intention to bestow, not from the intention to receive. What does the person care from, why shouldn't he care about enjoying from bestowal? Let him do that, what's the problem?

M. Laitman: But he was born with the opposite quality.

Student: Right, but he wants to enjoy and pleasure is promised to him but just in a different direction. In the direction of bestowal not in the direction of reception.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What’s the problem? Why?

M. Laitman: It's the opposite of his nature, I mean the nature within which the person was born. That all his thoughts, his desires, whatever he has, it will always be in order to receive.

Student: Yes, that's clear but he wants to enjoy, right, he wants to enjoy in any case. That is also his quality, he wants to enjoy from the intention to receive. And the Creator tells him, enjoy from the intention to bestow. And the person is not ready to relinquish his reception. I understand what you say, I understand but the other side of the coin is that he wants to enjoy. That's his vitality and that's a promise to him but just in a different intention, in the direction of bestowal. Why doesn't he agree to that?

M. Laitman: Because this is how he was born, this is how he was created so that he cannot demand to enjoy in order to bestow.

Student: What do we do?

M. Laitman: We do exercises so that, bit by bit, we will receive bestowal or influence from the Creator. And this bestowal can settle within us and convey to us the intention or transform the intention from in order to receive to in order to bestow.

Student: Why should a person participate in that exercise, if his intention is to receive? He wants to already bestow, right?

M. Laitman: This is called a point in the heart; that, certainly, there is in a person one small inclination that is capable of approaching bestowal.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (21:51) Does the person even reach becoming a bestower? Or is the change to come to a desire to bestow and to feel that the Creator is the one who bestows?

M. Laitman: Yes, the person reaches a state where he does want to bestow but he is not capable of it. And then the Creator shines to him, brings him closer and helps him to be in bestowal.

Student: What is the desire to bestow on the person's behalf?

M. Laitman: On the part of the person, it's an inclination to become incorporated in that desire that the Creator projects to him.

Student: He is just a conduit for the abundance that comes in. He's not a generator of the abundance?

M. Laitman: He's not a source.

Student: He's not a source, he just becomes this conduit of bestowal, it's not his desire. It's not a desire to bestow.

M. Laitman: No.

Student: He has a vessel to pass the abundance on, but, not a desire.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Is there a stage where the person and the Creator condition together, where there is no person, where there is only bestowal?

M. Laitman: It's not that the person disappears. The will to receive in that person disappears and instead of it, comes a desire to bestow.

Student: The more we progress, so the more we incorporate in the act of bestowal of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What happens with that person, he becomes swallowed in the quality of bestowal?

M. Laitman: No, the person is not immersed, swallowed, a person is a desire. And this desire takes on more and more of the nature of bestowal.

Student: What happens to the will to receive, the more we progress?

M. Laitman: The will to receive constantly takes on the form of bestowal.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:21) You told us that we need to hate receiving. How do I receive the Creator's quality of bestowal, if I hate receiving? I need to receive that from Him. How do I receive from Him if I hate receiving?

M. Laitman: I didn't get that?

Student: We ask the Creator all the time to give us that quality of His, to be similar to Him, to bestow.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: If I hate receiving then I hate receiving that, and even becoming this conduit, I have to receive that. And I need to build hatred within me, hatred of reception, how do I receive that from the Creator? That's my question.

M. Laitman: You built your perception on that I hate receiving but receiving what?

Student: That's a question, I need to hate receiving in a certain way?

M. Laitman: I want, first of all, I want to resemble the Creator. Now, what do I need in order to resemble the Creator? With my own nature, I can’t do anything so what do I need to do? So that, instead of my nature of receiving, I will be influenced by a nature which is entirely to bestow, meaning from the Creator. So that, the Creator will influence me and then I, too, will be in the same nature.

Student: That's my question: Because there's this question that I ask from the scrutinies, here, from the question. That, on one hand, I need to hate receiving but I don't understand that hating to receive doesn't exactly mean hating receiving completely. But, in some way, I need to receive from the Creator but not for myself, right, but to receive from Him, as you said, as this conduit. What does it mean to do it as a conduit, to receive from Him? To receive from Him but as a conduit?

M. Laitman: This is called, the intention, there is the act and there is the intention. In the act, you do receive from the Creator, whatever He projects to you; and the intention is that through whatever you receive from the Creator, you change so that you resemble Him.

Student: That's my second question, wat does it mean to benefit others?

M. Laitman: To resemble the Creator is to benefit others so that they will feel in the reality, like the Creator.

Student: Meaning in the actions that we do in the Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That we want to resemble Him. We do actions even that we don't enjoy, we don't feel something in my desire, that I'm really doing something in my nature but I'm doing these things. How is it really that... How does that gradually change me? How does that let me reach equivalence of form with the Creator, with His qualities?

M. Laitman: There is a force called the upper light and it comes from the Creator to a person and it changes him, that's it. Or even more, correctly, it doesn't change him, rather it changes his intention from in order to receive to in order to bestow.

Student: We need, we say to ourselves all the time, that we need to work in the Ten or, more correctly, to ask from the Creator without asking for a reward. Meaning, I need to request and request until I receive that, I don't know what it will be tomorrow. How can I receive that force without receiving a reward? Without receiving fuel, and to continue asking from Him that thing which I don't even know what it is?

M. Laitman: I don't know what you're talking about?

Student: I ask for a quality that is opposite to me?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: I want to be like Him, I want to bestow.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: I don't know what that is.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do I always give myself this motivation and fuel so that even though I'm opposite to Him?

M. Laitman: This is the problem but, precisely, because of that, for that, I am in a special society that they, the friends are like me, and together with them, if we want to do such exercises as in giving to each other. Then in our small groups, in our Tens, we can be in bestow from each one to everyone. And then, because in that, we are similar to the Creator, we, seemingly, attract from Him a reforming light and this is what changes us.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (31:07) He writes, here, as He is merciful, in other words, all His actions are to bestow and benefit others. Who are the others for the Creator?

M. Laitman: The others for the Creator means anyone in whom His will to receive is operating; that is called, others.

Student: What is actions for one who is working for the Creator, how is he getting filled? Is He merciful to him, compassionate to him? What does it mean that he created Him? So, others for Him, it's the same?

M. Laitman: He created him in the opposite form to Himself. And bit by bit, He changes the elements within him, meaning that the person comes closer to the qualities of the Creator. And he feels what changes within him and he agrees with it and this is how he enters the quality of bestowal.

Student: If I want to be in His qualities, I need to want the others to receive that quality, that quality just like the Creator wants me to receive the quality. That's how I come closer to resemble the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What I need to do is want for my others to receive the quality of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And that is what I bring from the Creator, He does that to me and I do that to Him.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:14) We know that the solution is in the Ten because if the person is against the Creator, he gives the Creator what he gets. And so, the person has no free choice, he simply does what the Creator inserts into him. And we are in a place where we are in a state where we need to work together in order to acquire that desire of the point in the heart. And you said that we need to do actions in the Ten. That if we do actions of bestowal, we'll connect, we'll receive more strength, and we'll be able to turn to the Creator, truly. So, actions in the Ten, is there importance in intentions in the actions in the Ten or not?

M. Laitman: Actions are actions, I don't know what you mean. Actions are actions.

Student: I want my friends to come to the lesson, why? Because I want to receive forces from them.

M. Laitman: Okay, so?

Student: I don't really want to bestow to them, I also want to receive. I want us to succeed, to be strong, so that the Creator will relate well to us so that we'll really feel that he's guiding us, progressing us. Many all such intentions that are not really bestowal. Is that okay?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: Do we need to demand that our intention will truly be correct?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:04) I wanted to continue what the friend said earlier about hatred of the evil. When I hate someone, when I've encountered hatred for a friend or something that happened. I want to distance myself from them as much as possible, I don't want to tolerate them. When we talk about hatred of the evil, it's still very hard to detach from that evil. I hate it, it's a certain desire that does bad to me, so I hate it but I'm still nourished from it, it nourishes me. So, the question is what really needs to happen so that we'll reach such hatred, where you really want to want that thing? Where you really want to escape from it, that you really want to detach from it? But that never really happens so what do we need to do in order to reach that kind of stage?

M. Laitman: This is through the reforming light. There is, in the upper force such influence over us that we flip, we invert from the will to receive to the will to bestow.

Student: That final detachment, we’ll never be able to do, only the light can help us do that?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Only the light. So, earlier you also said that we can do exercises between us. How do exercises between us look like in order for me to get this ability to detach from that evil, where I don't want to receive from it anymore?

M. Laitman: I didn't get that?

Student: How do those exercises look like, those exercises between us so that I will get the strength to detach from evil?

M. Laitman: The exercises should be such that I, as if, truly want to detach from reception and reach the nature of bestowal.

Student: How is that expressed in practice? How do I do exercises between the friends?

M. Laitman: This is why we exist in an imaginary world, where, here, we can perform such actions even though inside us, within us, we don't want it, we don't agree with it, we're not drawn to it.

Student: But what actions, let's say we're in a Ten go out for a full day. What actions should we do? Annulment, how is that expressed what you're talking about

M. Laitman: All the time trying not to disconnect from the goal but I want through my actions in the Ten, with my friends, to reach a state where at one point I will be the bestower.

Student: You're saying that, if I understood you correctly, in the Ten we need to behave as bestowers as much as possible. We don't need any more than that, as much as we're capable according to the conditions that are in place and to be constant in that all the time. And that will draw the reforming light that will give us the strength and that will help me detach from that evil?

M. Laitman: Let's say so, yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:56) We learn that every person has a point in the heart, which is a part of the upper force, a part of the quality of bestowal – a part of the Creator. When He awakens in a person he looks for this thing from above, why does he not yearn for bestowal? Why doesn't a true desire for bestowal awaken in him? To the contrary, he wants to receive even more knowledge, control. So why, this part of the Creator has awakened in me, which is bestowal.

M. Laitman: What awakens?

Student: The point in the heart, the Godly part from above, a part of the quality of bestowal that is concealed within me.

M. Laitman: From the Creator comes a force which awakens in us, a desire to receive. What else do you want to say?

Student: I don't understand why it awakens within me a will to receive ,if a part within me awakens a part of Him, which is bestowal. Seemingly, I need to now want to bestow more?

M. Laitman: No, it depends what you receive from the Creator. You don't receive the force of bestowal from the Creator.

Student: Is there some stage in the awakening of a person towards spirituality where he wants to bestow?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: When does that happen, when is it truly an awakening? Not just a struggle against his own nature, not repulsion from reception. But a desire to bestow, when does that awaken?

M. Laitman: It's when the Creator awakens to the person.

Student: When does it happen, beyond the barrier?

M. Laitman: No, that's impossible to say when. It's when the Creator wants so the person awakens.

Question (Asia): (41:44) Is the Creator's demand from us only to make efforts in bestowal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And from that, we are impressed from the efforts of the friends?

M. Laitman: Not only from that, I don't know, what does he want to ask? It's such a question that is?

Student: He's asking if what we're impressed by from the friends is only from their efforts? Or their acts of bestowal. do we only see their efforts or can we even see acts of bestowal?

M. Laitman: We are impressed by everything that the friends do, it influences us. That influence awakens in us also an awakening.

Question (Women Romania): (42:35) Is any act of bestowal even without an intention, it leads to adhesion with the Creator?

M. Laitman: No, only the act of bestowal with the intention to reach adhesion with the Creator is what brings us to bestowal.

Question (Latin 7): (43:02) How is the quality of bestowal revealed, how does a person behave once he attained this quality?

M. Laitman: The quality of bestowal revealed in us comes from that in which we want to resemble the Creator, that is all.

Student: And how does the person who attained it behave?

M. Laitman: So, he truly knows in what actions he can bring contentment to the Creator.

Question (Women Turkey 7): (43:41) Right now, I'm experiencing the will to receive in its strongest form, in the form of just a desire for myself. Can I take this primary form of the desire for myself and invert this strong desire back towards the Creator and ask of Him to give it to me in bestowal?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's possible, that's what she feels her state in such a way, it is a good example. That a person can invert himself in an opposite way from bestowal to resemble the Creator, to bestow.

Student: When a person feels opposite in such a way, that's already a request for correction? It feels like the opposite end, she feels that she's completely opposite. Is this already a request for correction?

M. Laitman: That's true, yes.

Question (Novosibirsk): (44:42) To which point we constantly aspire in the lesson in order to become bestowers like the Creator?

M. Laitman: To what point? We need to reach a state where we feel the force of bestower from above. We feel ourselves as being opposite from Him, below in every way. And we demand, we raise a prayer for Him to change us and to invert us, as it is written.

Student: In what way do we bestow upon our friends, now, during the lesson?

M. Laitman: You, now, in your thoughts, influence each other in all kinds of ways. And gradually, these things from one lesson to the next, during the day, during the lesson. They somewhat bestow to each other, influence each other, connect, incorporate with each other. And accordingly, you, gradually, over many days, reach something special that He builds in you in unity.

Question (Women, Moscow 5): (46:33) The Creator opens up the point in the heart. Why doesn't the quality of bestowal awaken in us along with the point in the heart?

M. Laitman: The quality of bestowal cannot reside in us because we were born with the quality of reception. And the quality of bestowal will come to us upon the quality of reception, which is in us. Therefore, we need to very much want the quality of bestowal and to try to carry out all the actions of each and every one between us to resemble the quality of bestowal. From that, we will learn more about what it means to be in the quality of bestowal, in what form, in what character. And as an outcome of that, we will have the correct approach to prayer. And then, the quality of bestowal will become revealed and it will dress in us.

Student: In the end, will the will to receive operate for bestowal, the entire desire?

M. Laitman: At the end of it all, certainly; the entire will to receive will serve the will to bestow.

Student: And to whom will this desire bestow?

M. Laitman: To the Creator, that is all.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:01) The operation of the light on us: We say that the reforming light awakens when we perform acts of connection between us. So, the question is does it operate only versus a prayer, a prayer that a person expresses from the bottom of his heart, that he wants to change? Or does it also operate when I come to a lesson, I come to the meal, I'm incorporating in various actions of the Ten, the light also works there and it changes me?

M. Laitman: In principle, yes.

Student: It's not only when there is a prayer and a deficiency from the heart but even from a simple incorporation?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:53) I would like to ask about this matter of feeling what bestowal is. Most of the time, you don't feel what bestowal is, it's just a word that you use. But there are moments of mercy when a person a little bit begins to feel. Let's say like, now, I feel now in this lesson it is happening. There is something here so that we can taste it a little bit. And the question I'd like to ask is because I have a feeling now that this is thanks to Rav, the feeling that we have now, that's how I feel it. I don't know where it comes from but that's how I feel it. And so, I ask myself, in an hour from now the lesson will end and we will go out to our day. And maybe some taste of this feeling that I have now will remain in me. But how do I succeed, together with my friends, to hold on to this feeling when it's not there, when Rav is not there? Because it is truly a feeling of something external that is working right now, that's how I feel it, it doesn't come from me. So, how do we do it without having this projection, this force by which you are now elevating us, where do we take it from?

M. Laitman: You need to believe that even without Rav, if you correctly connect between yourselves, you will attain that.

Student: The main difficulty with this issue is that, seemingly, the answer is, pray – you should pray together. But during the day, many times it happens that we don't even have a desire to pray. So even the desire to pray disappears. It's not like, if you pray, it will be okay.

M. Laitman: So, what do you want from me?

Student: I'm asking what to do in order to at least take this first step.

M. Laitman: To request, don't say the word pray, to request, that is all.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (52:34) The request that I will have the possibility to bestow, the quality of bestowal? Or the request that the friend will have the quality of bestowal? What's the correct order between them, what comes first?

M. Laitman: What is important to you, accordingly, is the order. What's more important to you is the order, that's the first.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:11) We have during the day meetings on Zoom. In the Tens, we also have the noon lesson. Now, every such meeting, there has to be a prayer? This is what we should demand from our meetings, from the interactions between us, that we will be in a prayer or it doesn't have to be that way?

M. Laitman: That's what you will demand, that is all. It's written that the prayer is the work in the heart. So, demand from your heart to be connected with all the rest of the friends as one heart that wants one thing. Not ten, that it will want to turn to the Creator, and the Creator will hear. Demand that, those exercises are certainly beneficial.

Student: It's inner work, in a lesson, it's much easier to do that.

M. Laitman: Okay, so do that.

Student: The question is are there some external means, let's call it that, that can allow us not to deviate from that, not to forget about it? Or should a meeting start in some way, is there some order that we should stick to?

M. Laitman: I don't know what to say. There is order, we learn it, each and every one according to the extent by which they study, how much they're able to absorb. So, they absorb that and then afterward implement that somewhat, that's how we do. We hear 100%, what is actually heard from that, meaning we receive that as this correct listening of ours in 1%; and afterward, we implement, somewhat.

Question (Moscow 1): (56:00) I wanted to say that in Moscow, we have gathered in the middle of the week. The friends gathered after a long time that we haven't done that. My question is this: A person wants to enjoy. What can he enjoy during the lesson? Is it from thoughts about the friends?

M. Laitman: The person of ours needs to, the person, here, needs to study and enjoy in that he is closer to others today more than he was yesterday, etc.

Question (Kiev 1): (56:56) When you feel that today you are closer to the friends, how to continue this feeling into a deeper connection with the Creator? So, it won't just feel pleasant as a result but, by that, you actually bestow to Him and discover Him more and more.

M. Laitman: For that, we need to open up, more.

Student: To open up more?

M. Laitman: Yes, to open to each other, then you'll have a bigger Kli and you will feel each other, more.

Student: What is there to open up more in the Ten?

M. Laitman: The heart, nothing other than the heart.

Student: What hurts us, what concerns us, what, precisely?

M. Laitman: That you want in your life.

Student: This is how the friends in the Ten should talk about it, what is it they want in their life?

M. Laitman: Certainly. What, what's with you, we don't talk about that all the time?

Student: It's just that in our work, it's rare that we speak in such a way. We do compose a prayer, we read articles but how should we talk about it, correctly?

M. Laitman: Open the heart and read what is written in it.

Question (Turkey 1): (59:02) Why does it seem impossible, or so difficult, to give the Creator contentment?

M. Laitman: Because it is against our nature. Certainly, it is impossible but, on the other hand, if we turn to the Creator, correctly, so that is close – this thing is close to us.

Question (Türkiye 2): (59:50) What kind of awakening from below one should perform in order to receive the quality of bestowal from above?

M. Laitman: The most correct is to try with his own strength, whatever is in his own powers to do, to come closer and to incorporate with his friends. And to pray, to praise the Creator, those are the most beneficial actions.

Question (Hadera 1): (01:00:57) What should one hate: The will to receive or the love towards himself?

M. Laitman: Again, what's the question?

Student: What should a person hate: His will to receive or the love for himself?

M. Laitman: The will to receive is an abstract thing but self-love is close to his heart and he can feel that and understand it. So certainly, we need to hate that, more.

Student: So, when a person hates his self-love, he in fact is asking of the Creator to correct his vessels of reception, is that correct?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (MAK 11): (01:02:00) When there is already hatred towards the will to receive for oneself but, still, there is no yearning for a desire to bestow. You’re seemingly in a state of between heaven and earth. How to move from that state, how to advance from it?

M. Laitman: Continue, continue connecting to a prayer to the Creator; precisely, to a prayer to the Creator.

Student: It has to be a common prayer or an individual one?

M. Laitman: A mutual one, a collective one. How many Tens are there, a prayer of a Ten? How many are you in the Ten, of the Ten?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:58) How much is it helpful for one Ten to pray for another Ten to receive the force of bestowal?

M. Laitman: It's very beneficial, it is the foundation of correction – the collective correction – the global correction. Is that clear?

Question (Novosibirsk): (01:03:43) About the exercise that you mentioned, I heard that we forget about the goal. On this sensitive point that I want to love the friends and I don't expect that they will start to love me. I don't expect to receive anything from them but I only want to bestow. How to hold on to this line as an exercise during the day?

M. Laitman: Because the moment that some disruption comes, immediately you forget about it, you are in a quality of reception, you don't even want to overcome the disruption.

Student: Your goal is replaced, the importance goes away; so, how in the thought can we hold on to it during the day and remind each other that I don't expect that the friends will first start to love me but the other way around?

M. Laitman: You need to hold that thought and the connection between you. It's like a rope that doesn't let you drown. And if you leave it, you will completely forget about your lives and about your goal, that’s how you need to do it?

Student: If I feel that I'm not capable of overcoming the disruption, I can tell the friends, help me. Can we also do it that way?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's possible, you can fall and cry but it needs to be a true fall.

Reader: We will sing a song and move to the next part.

Song: (01:06:03)
