Part 1:

Rabash. Article No. 17, 1990. What Is the Assistance that He who Comes to Purify Receives in the Work?

1. S. (35:59) It says there, our sages said that this serpent came to eat Eve and cast filth in her. Later on it says this means that he let her understand “this what.” What is this action the serpent performs to Malchut to Eve?

R. He awakens the deficiency.

S. By casting in her, what, doubt?

R. Yes.

S. The flaw, the doubt?

R. Yes.

2. S. (36:45) Rabash says that before it’s possible to make corrections, you have to reach a state where one will know that he only lacks two main things, which are mind and heart. What are these two things on our path?

R. Mind and heart it’s two sources of deficiency, mind and heart.

S. But these are discernments that we have to reach, I don’t manage to understand. what is this mind and this heart which are the two main things that the person must lack?

R. Man has no more than mind and heart that's clear, so to awaken a deficiency in both the mind and heart is essentially a complete action from above and we are asking, we ask to know exactly what’s the deficiency that awakens in our minds and what’s the deficiency that awakens our heart.

S. Is there some kind of a particular deficiency or is it built over time with thoughts and feelings?

R. No, it's different deficiencies. In the mind it’s a deficiency of the mind that wants knowing, and in the heart it's a deficiency of feeling.

S. Because he speaks of the 613 Mitzvot there are 613 corrections that we have to go through in order to obtain this mind and heart, which are aimed towards the upper force, which is the correction if I understand correctly?

R. Well let's say.

3. S. (39:05) He writes that first the person should know what is missing. This is really the first assistance that he receives the knowledge of what he’s missing, and he writes that assistance is to know what is the illness and it’s not what the person thinks. When the help comes, when assistance comes a person realizes this is assistance from above, it’s clear to him what his assistance is?

R. You feel and then you’ll understand.

S. How do I not get confused with what I think what assistant is and maybe it’s to my detriment like the child who wants a pin to put in his eye, we have this example?

R. Right that's right, but here you're not told that you are already getting something you work in mind and heart meaning knowing, understanding, and feeling but ultimately leads you to a solution where you start asking correctly.

S. If we can explain it more the fact that one understands intellectually that he has work in faith above reason it's not that he feels this work, maybe it’s the first step where we understand that everything that is in my intellect, in my understanding it's not even in the right direction and any feeling that I want for myself for sure is not in the right direction. Is this like the first perception?

R. Yes.

4. S. (40:48) The deficiency towards bestowal is it enough or I should always have the Creator before my eyes?

R. Deficiency for bestowal is the main deficiency.

S. Let's say we learned that the true work is in the Ten, we have to absorb the deficiencies of the friends and want to bestow to them. The question is if any deficiency that it is in a friend that he reveals and he asks for it in this life and also the corporeal life seemingly this I truly wanted to be like my deficiency and ask the Creator for it, is this the true work?

R. No.

S. What is the true work in bestowal, what is the true deficiency in bestowal?

R. The person who wants to get closer to the Creator and asks for assistance, then little by little through different degrees and assistance he begins to understand what is going on.

S. We need to simply make more and more efforts in bestowal and then we understand?

R. Yes, that’s clear.

5. S. (42:08) He writes that a person who should exert, a person should exert not in order to attain but in order to have a strong desire to obtain the matter and the need for the Creator to help him. Many times we discover the deficiency, as a need and automatically we want to fill it in the way that we understand until we reach this state where we truly feel the Creator can help us, it can take a lot of time. First of all, what is work this way?

R. That you’ll need the society. If in the society you want to detect why you get this and that and this kind of deficiency then you're moving towards getting close to each other to scrutinize the true main deficiency.

S. So in the society there's a power, there’s an ability that when a deficiency awakens and we feel it together it has the ability to reach the true deficiency, that the Creator will help us, and an individual doesn’t have this ability?

R. No.

S. If in the society now in our Ten we are focusing very strongly on coming to the morning lesson, for the friends to be in the morning lesson, we invest in this, in the zoom meetings we talk about it and we feel the difference very quickly. The question is, the moment that you work in the society in this way, the time between the deficiency that is revealed to us in the Ten and the Creator helping us gets shorter and shorter as we work on it?

R. Yes.

6. S. (44:18) He writes here that according to man's work when he exerts in the work to reach the truth to that extent he receives assistance from above. What does it mean to exert, to try to reach the truth?

R. To try and get an answer, what’s happening to him, why, how, what for.

S. What is the direction that a person wants to reach the truth, it seems like the truth can be something destructive because the person may exist in a sweet lie, and he doesn't want to get out of it. How can he aim himself to the truth?

R. Bit by bit, here from his own mistakes he learns.

7. S. (45:36) Rabash says that what a person truly lacks but he thinks it's in quantity but in truth what the person lacks is in quality, then he says that the true deficiencies that he lacks the faith that the Creator leads the word in the manner of the good who does good. This is really what the person should lack, reach that, to discover that. To discover that the Creator leads the world in the manner of the Good Who Does Good. It’s really a change of my perception in reality and it’s an internal change, then he says that in order to reach that we need two things: mind and heart. What is the mind of the faith that the Creator leads the world in the manner of the Good Who Does Good and what is the heart, well maybe the heart is the feeling but what is the mind of that, what is the first stage?

R. Actually the revelation that the Creator drives everything, this is called mind and that is Good Who Does Good in his actions that’s the heart.

S. Can we say that there is None Else Besides Him is the mind and good and doing good is the heart?

R. Let's say.

8. S. (47:09) The person thinks that he’s ill in the quantity and the Creator knows he’s lacking in quality, he lacks faith. How does the person discover his true illness?

R. By seeing that he’s unsuccessful.

S. If I understood what it says here correctly that man's work is when he keeps the Torah and Commandments, but he still cannot aim it in order to bestow it's actually felt in the work. The reward is the delight and pleasure as the result of wanting to bestow in order to bestow, but the whole way it has worked, every moment the inclination grows stronger, so we always have work. What is this stage of reward, where does it exist, you are always working?

R. But even receiving on the way all kinds of responses that’s already a reward.

S. When we say that the work is the reward, what does that mean?

R. That man doesn't want more than just being in actions where he always discovers the actions of the Creator and sees these actions as a reward.

S. What responses does the person receive on the path which are considered as rewards?

R. That it comes from the Creator and by that there is contact between man and the Creator.

9. S. (49:00) He writes, as long as the created beings do not reach the obtainment of the vessels of bestowal they will not receive or feel the pleasure that the Creator wanted to give them. You once gave us an example of a cat that you're playing classical music next to it or something like that, just goes by it; what distinguishes between a friend around which there are great friends, there is a great teacher, the sources, great things vs a friend that it just passes by him. What should the friend do in order to feel the greatness of the things that he was given, the things that are really around him?

R. If he is not allowed from above to relate correctly to these things then he won't but if he is allowed somewhat then he needs to pay attention to it and long to connect to it.

S. I felt that like you said this is the point where if you're not given it, you're not given it and you're like this cat, but the moment that you're given the beginning of it, you said now to pay attention, pay attention to what, in order to increase what you were given?

R. Exactly to increase.

S. But what do you mean by attention?

R. To increase the connection, that you now want to exactly aim your heart like a radar, you're searching for what else and in what directions the Creator wants to relate to you.

S. This greatness how do I see it, how do I hear it, how do I see the greatness to which the Creator is relating to me?

R. You receive it and feel that this is the Creator's address to you and then you each time work in a more directed way towards Him.

S. What is the role of the friends in order to help the friend and get this attention so he can get this greatness? What is the role of the friends here, I want my friend to hear more, to feel more. What should I do?

R. You first wanted to be so, and by that you bring the friend closer to the Creator you pray to the Creator that he will pay attention to your friends and that’s how you build connection.

S. My friend said before that now we are really focused on the prayer to reach the morning lesson, so how do I help my friends reach the morning lesson, have this attention so it will awaken in them?

R. With prayer and raising importance.

10. S. (53:06) In the article it speaks about interior and posterior. What action should we take during the interior and what actions should we take during the posterior?

R. We haven't yet clarified that.

11. S. (53:48) What are the signs of the hardening of the heart and if the Creator hardens our hearts more and more so that we will advance on the path, or in order for us to know what is the true nature, what is the reason the Creator hardens our heart?

R. The burdening of the heart is so that we will establish and stabilize our attitude to the Creator more accurately.

12. S. (54:32) When the lesson ends there are many corporeal troubles in life. How to develop a deficiency that I process the request for the friend and that's the main thing?

R. It's because of lack of faith, lack of feeling, lack of mutual feeling that you should have with the Creator, the friends help in that.

13. S. (55:10) I always thought it's possible to develop the vessel to a certain extent where the deficiency for the spirituality is revealed, but here it says that it's given from above, meaning the vessel from above can be given any moment or you have to lose some corporeal vessels to receive it from above?

R. It doesn't matter. You have to work with whatever is revealed to you along the way.

14. S. (55:58) How does the reason help the stony heart? How does the mind work with the burdening of the heart, how does the mind work with the burdening of the heart?

R. How does the mind work with a hardening of the heart? It’s that the mind understands that according to the hardening of the heart he receives more advanced answers, and this is why the healthy intellect as we call it works according to the hardening of the heart, he accepts it, and he works on it.

15. S. (57:20) What is the true deficiency I need to achieve so I can reach a complete prayer for my friend?

R. What is the true deficiency?

S. That I need to have in order to reach a complete prayer for the friend?

R. We don't know what is the true deficiency but we need to yearn for it. The true deficiency becomes revealed at the end of the degrees.

16. S. (58:14) What are these 613 Commandments that one should reach?

R. We discover that also along the path. It's too early to talk about it now, we discovered that there are 613 Commandments that bind us to the Creator and through these 613 Commandments we get to know Him more and more.

17. S. (59:02) What's the thing that prevents the person most from discovering his true deficiency?

R. It’s different for each one, we can say what is it, whatever detains you detains you.

S. The revelation of the deficiencies it's accumulative or does it appears at once to a person?

R. A relation of the deficiency is accumulative. It's more an accumulation, it's not at once; the person, if it were at once the person wouldn't be able to overcome it at all, he won't even understand that this is what hinders him.

18. S. (59:51) It says here in the article that if a person exerts in Torah and Commandments it's a sign that you have not labored in me, Israel, so do we need to labor or not?

R. So, we should go according to those deficiencies that awaken in us so that through them we will get closer to the revelation of the Creator.

19. S. (01:00:44) One has to learn what is his true deficiency for bestowal. How can we feel in the mind and heart where, what are the true deficiencies when our thoughts always distract us from the path of truth, from the true deficiency. What can we do about it?

R. The true deficiency is not what it seems to us but rather what is revealed in truth but during our work in the degrees, and I don't know what I can say. That our true deficiency is for adhesion with the Creator, but it becomes revealed not immediately but rather at the end of the degrees.

20. S. (01:02:10) Can any deficiency be corrected and what are the ways to correct?

R. Yes, any deficiency can be corrected but it's possible, it's not by us, but through our prayers and requests, but in principle we have to correct all the deficiencies.

21. S. (01:02:55) What's the connection between the quality of bestowal and the efforts we make? Is it really bestowal or is it a privilege?

R. It depends on a person how the person accepts it, receives it, whether it’s bestowal or it’s a merit or maybe it’s a curse it all depends on the person.

22. S. (01:03:57) It says that the systems come from the Creator, how to not miss it?

R. Well you should be in a Ten. The assistance is mostly revealed in the Ten and then you won't miss out on it.

23. S. (01:04:25) What will help us not leave the Creator even for a moment?

R. If all of you, think about it.

24. S. (01:04:48) It says, man even though he cannot attain something it awakens the deficiency, and what can a person do if it doesn't awaken him even though he exerts and he feels hanging in the thin air?

R. I don't know. In whatever he's mistaken.

25. S. How can one know?

R. Mostly is through the correct connection with the friends.

26. S. (01:05:28) How can we check on every step if we are moving towards the true deficiency?

R. Only according to the connection with the friends, we have no other way.

S. What exactly in this connection with the friends and says to me I am on the right path towards the right deficiency?

R. That you connect to the friends more and more and you discover the Creator in this connection specifically in this connection, more and more.

27. S. (01:06:36) What does it mean to have labored and observed the Torah and Commandments and that it's a sign you're not working for me? What does labor mean then?

R. The labor is that I want to connect with you and organize myself so that I get closer to you with all my strength and more and more to the other friends, this is the right labor.

S. What does it mean then, it says here in the article: “You are not working for me if you're doing labor”, so what does the labor have?

R. No, no if you are truly laboring then you are not intending for me, this is what the Creator says to us, that the connection with him, labor is irrelevant, if you are already connected with him because then you receive from him all of the energy and the strength and everything.
