Daily Lesson (Morning) March 16, 2024.

Part 2: Rabash. Article No. 7, 1989. What Is “He Who Did Not Toil on the Eve of Shabbat, What Will He Eat on Shabbat” in the Work?

Reader: (00:40) Rabash, What Is “He Who Did Not Toil on the Eve of Shabbat, What Will He Eat on Shabbat” in the Work? Our sages said, “They said to Him,..”

Student: (37:30) In the beginning of the article, he says, “Someone who has no talent cannot exert himself.” What talent do you need in order to be rewarded for spiritual food?

M. Laitman: What can I tell you, you are on the street, at work, in all kinds of places with many other people. Why do they not have the privilege of coming to study? And you, instead of sleeping or resting or making profits, making money, which everyone understands. Instead, you come to some lesson to hear that you have to work completely in order to bestow. Well, where is the logic in this?

Student: According to what I understand, it's the awakening of the point in the heart.

M. Laitman: The awakening from above, the point in the heart, and they do not have it. This is why you are doing what the Creator has given you for now and on top of it, you develop your own vessels. The ignition, the trigger, for this whole thing is certainly the Creator but afterward, you continue, you continue by getting up at night, standing, participating with the friends, and this is how we come to spiritual reward.

Student: Thank you.

Student: (39:44) The work according to what I understood from the article, is to exert in order to bestow contentment to the Creator and not receive a reward. The path is that you advance by seeing that you can do it less and less, the body resists. You feel that he's far from attaining that ability. The question is, well, that's where the vessels of bestowal start formulating?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What happens from here, what is the work from this moment when those vessels start formulating, what should you do next?

M. Laitman: What should you do next? To continue working with vessels of bestowal from now.

Student: What does that mean?

M. Laitman: With the intention to bestow.

Student: That increases the vessels, it's working with different fulfillments?

M. Laitman: It enhances the vessels and from the intention to bestow you come to a state where you begin to know the Creator, to Whom you are giving and you come to adhesion with Him, according to the equivalence of form, and in this way to know the world you are in.

Student: Until we attain the vessels of bestowal, we're working in one direction, to work, not in order to get a reward. So the question is should we then, or can we even, in parallel, work in two lines or two styles at the same time? The vessels of bestowal that receive in order to bestow?

M. Laitman: No, we can work with vessels of bestowal only when we come out of the system of reception and enter the system of bestowal. Then we have vessels of bestowal in order to bestow, and afterwards receiving in order to bestow, as well.

Student: Receiving in order to bestow means that we're also working in bestowing in order to bestow? Meaning it's both of them together happening?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do we do it, that's what the environment lets us?

M. Laitman: It is still not for us, it is still not for us. People will get confused.

Student: (42:32) He gave you the allegory about the king that put the powder on the food, and then the food didn't taste good. Whoever ate it didn't feel it; so those actions to bestow demand concession on the fulfillment and the will to receive.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: When we come out of the lesson we leave with a tank of gas that gives us the forces to do actions, sometimes that fuel is enough. Sometimes you can give up on things for the actions of bestowal. The question is: How can we increase this tank that will give us the forces to do the work throughout the day?

M. Laitman: Again, the question?

Student: How do we increase the tank of gas that we come out of the lesson with so throughout the day we'll have the forces to overcome, to relinquish the fulfillments in the will to receive because it takes a lot of forces to do?

M. Laitman: This is through envy, lust, and honor, and by looking at the friends and being impressed by the correct desire and intentions that they have.

Student: I heard that what we're lacking is a connection between us?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: This form of work in the article, so what should we do in order to reach connection here?

M. Laitman: Pray to have a connection between us. If we united our spiritual vessels, given what forces of bestowal that exist in each one, which are very small but if we were to collect them, then we would achieve a spiritual result.

Student: When you say to pray, it's a big word, it has a lot of meanings. If we try to see it in our daily work it means that every friend has to try and make efforts to overcome. Let's say he's not successful, so that's a prayer. We have to connect all that together in the morning lesson?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That's what we're lacking, this connection?

M. Laitman: It is lacking.

Student: Why?

M. Laitman: We are not really trying, yearning, for our tendencies toward the Creator. To connect together so we can help each other push all of us together to the Creator.

Student: That means that now each one of us is doing work alone not thinking of the others?

M. Laitman: Seemingly, yes.

Student: (46:14) What is the Shabbat that he writes about that he stops his work? Meaning, the Upper One stops working. What should we do, what's the equivalence on our behalf, that He will stop working?

M. Laitman: Yes and we will work instead of Him.

Student: We are doing His work instead?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And by that, we feel that we're working with Him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And that's called Shabbat?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: On a different topic, in a few minutes, in about half an hour, we're going to go to a Shabbat meal. What is that for us, in our state now, what is this meal? How do we prepare ourselves for that meal?

M. Laitman: We can think, perhaps even feel that we are all of us together in one meal which connects between us, unites us; mainly that it connects.

Student: And that's different than the connection we have to ask for in the lesson?

M. Laitman: Yes, because it is a meal that the Creator set. That we can seemingly come to Him and be in His meal and connect.

Student: Thank you.

Student: (48:00) He says that “the healing powder is in the exertion. That when he exerts in Torah, to reach for her sake, for Lishma, that helps them enjoy the meal.”

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: This exertion belongs to the Creator or the created being?

M. Laitman: To the created being; we have to labor in connection between us in order to reveal the Creator through our tendency, proclivity toward connection. And ask of Him, demand of Him to take care of us, to tend to us.

Student: What does it mean that the healing powder is there, what's the special thing about it?

M. Laitman: That in this labor, we obtain the healing powder, which is that force that unites us and elevates us above our egos. So we become all of us in bestowal.

Student: That's something that's concealed until you don't really enter that exertion, so it's not revealed.

M. Laitman: We have nothing with which to reveal it.

Student: This exertion or the powder, it's attaining a vessel of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: We can say that the place where he spreads that powder is in the Ten.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Only to exert here, that's the place, and exert above reason, that's the way to do it.

M. Laitman: Yes, only between all of us.

Student: (49:59) It's written that a person has to make vessels of bestowal for himself, he uses to make vessels. So it means they're prepared for us, we just have to reveal them?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: (50:25) It's not clear about the intention: We say that intention is what I want to attain as a result of an action. Is an intention also a desire?

M. Laitman: An intention is an intention, you can say that for us, for the time being, it is like a desire.

Student: So what do we want to attain from the right intention?

M. Laitman: Well, that depends on the intention of what you want to obtain, to achieve. Why are you asking me?

Student: So it's a desire, you can't understand the difference.

M. Laitman: You want to get something?

Student: It's for myself?

M. Laitman: For yourself or not for yourself, it depends. You did not say it's for yourself.

Student: That's what I mean, what do I want to attain by having the intention to bestow?

M. Laitman: You say what you want to have, you should say it. How do I know? You want to have an intention to bestow, and then what?

Student: I don't know because I want it so it's not clear to me if it's a bestowal.

M. Laitman: Why do you want it, what will you get out of it?

Student: When I came to the path, I guess I came for egoistic desires, and now I have the influence of society, so it changes. It remains in my desire, in my vessels, it doesn't feel that I'm even advancing to something, or to come out of my own desire.

M. Laitman: You are hoping that it will still help you wake up, transcend or ascend?

Question (Belarus): (52:46) When does the meal taste bitter and when is it sweet?

M. Laitman: When the desire or the intention of the Emanator and the intention of the emanated being become equal.

Question (Women PT 4): (53:06) What does he mean when he writes that “he observes the Mitzvot to bestow?” What other commandments are there except for connection?

M. Laitman: They all fall into this action of connection.

Question (Women PT 8): (53:23) How can a person keep himself from entering despair and lack of faith?

M. Laitman: Through the society.

Question (PT 33): (53:35) How to turn despair from the path to purposeful despair that will help us exert in connection and prayer?

M. Laitman: This is our work, simple. Stop reading, it is just repeating from lesson to lesson.

Student: (54:10) It's as if what we're studying now, what we just read, is like opposite, supposedly, of what we read in the previous lesson. Where there was very clear: suffering or Torah. And here, the Torah is the suffering?

M. Laitman: Perhaps it seems that way to you, it is good. What?

Student: (54:33) How can we connect the obsessions and prayers and our intentions? What do we need to do for them to be connected?

M. Laitman: For all of you?

Student: At least in the Ten?

M. Laitman: Well, that is through prayer, as well.

Student: What connects them into one prayer?

M. Laitman: Connection of the hearts.

Student: Which happens, what, before each one prays so to connection to connect the prayers? What's the connection between connection and that each one has his personal exertion and the personal work he does?

M. Laitman: Each one has a deficiency, what does he want through the deficiency? What does he want to obtain through the deficiency, how can he increase the deficiency? Then he uses the connection of the deficiencies.

Student: How do you connect them, what do you need to do for them to connect?

M. Laitman: The Creator does it.

Student: What are we asking for if each one has, like you said, has a small exertion towards bestowal? What else do you need for the Creator to connect all these exertions?

M. Laitman: To check himself: Does he have any more deficiencies besides the deficiency, the desire to connect?

Student: That's what you need in order to advance to connecting the desires that will be common?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes because this is what you want to happen.

Student: But that still comes from an individual.

M. Laitman: Yes, collect all those deficiencies and raise them to the Creator.

Student: What does it mean to gather them, that's what isn't clear to me.

M. Laitman: When each one influences the others in the Ten.

Student: Each one makes sure the Ten has that deficiency to gather them?

M. Laitman: Yes, that common general deficiency of the Ten will influence the Creator.

Student: (57:08) Let's continue that question: How can we get our exertion more precise?

M. Laitman: How can we make it precise?

Student: It's either for my benefit or for the Creator, and we already know and feel that if I want to do something for the Creator, it's only through the friends. I need to bestow through them but this understanding whether for me or for the Creator, that's something he has to do?

M. Laitman: I do not understand, it is not clear to you the intention of the prayer?

Student: We want the Creator to change our intention.

M. Laitman: What for?

Student: Because otherwise, we'll remain for our own benefit.

M. Laitman: Oh, good, okay, then what?

Student: That's like a precise thing he has to do, it's like an operation.

M. Laitman: So?

Student: How can we reach this action in one prayer, everybody together, that he just corrects the intention? For once, he does it and that's it?

M. Laitman: No, I cannot dictate to him what to do, when it happens, it happens. But what do I have to do? Constantly awaken him through my deficiency.

Student: What's the force of the group?

M. Laitman: Connect your deficiency with the deficiencies of the group, and it will be more effective.

Student: That's something I have to do or everybody, I don't know.

M. Laitman: Everyone, speak to them, this is why we are in this corporeal world where we can approach one another physically and agree between us. That we want to unite our deficiencies and raise them to the Creator. This is already an internal, emotional action, afterwards, spiritual.

Student: We have to feel the state that only the Creator, if we ask all together, only He can do this correction.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: (59:31) About deficiencies, every person feels a deficiency.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Now, if I feel a certain deficiency, so I need to check it, to scrutinize it, and to compare it to the deficiency that I learned has to be with me and ask for that gap that the Creator will cover it?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That's the work, actually?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: (01:00:02) He says here that “in the weekdays, a person takes out the secular part of his heart and brings spirituality in there.” He says that “those who engage in the Torah, there are ones that just do it, there are those who really exert, and it's a great war to do, that he exerts with the body.” For us, should there be a difference whether we have the weekdays or the Shabbat? Or do we also have a feeling that we're in a war and that there's no difference between the weekdays and the Shabbat, the way we study and..?

M. Laitman: For the time being, we do not feel it we do not distinguish it. In the meantime, no.

Student: Do we need to try that there will be a difference?

M. Laitman: It is not like we need to do it but when we receive, find the changes between one and the other, we will be able to say that this is secular and this is Shabbat, they are states.

Student: Now, he says that “in the weekdays, that there's a great exertion, that we have to be in a state of great exertion and fight the body. That a person has to wage war with his body, and on behalf of the body, there's the justice and the mind, then his nature, supposedly, in the war a person has to do against his body.” I wanted to ask, what does he mean on the other side? Who's fighting the body?

M. Laitman: He has to summon these forces from above, from the Creator.

Student: That's on the other hand, there's supposedly the prayer that the Creator will help him fight his body?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How does a person make the separation that he divides himself into two, and then he wages war against his body?

M. Laitman: Try and you will understand.

Student: At one point, it's as if he's speaking himself in third person: “He sees, he's afraid,” he's asking. It's supposedly not me, it's him that is now dealing with some other ‘him’ that is fighting himself.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do we get to such a feeling that the lesson every day here is like a type of war?

M. Laitman: It depends on the person, some are asleep, some are awake, and some are absolutely in the air.

Student: Is there a fulfillment that, it's like, there's two ways a person expects a reward? There's like an approach that now we're working and in the end, it'll be good. Tomorrow we'll tear the Machsom, we'll get to the end of correction. There's an approach of a fulfillment from the fact that every day we get an opportunity to wage this war, that this is our life. That a person can go between his will to receive to something more exalted, I don't know.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So what's a better path to walk?

M. Laitman: Both of them, together.

Student: How?

M. Laitman: Each day they should be as new in your eyes, last ones and continue in this way, and stop in a struggle.

Student: Also to expect that one day there's going to be a big change?

M. Laitman: Not one day, today.

Student: I see, thank you.

Student: (01:04:30) He writes that “the king saved a special place in the palace,” that that is where the work should be. When me and my friend work at the same place where the king united him for the work and I get an impulse to help my friend, to support him. So my question is: I'm asking the Upper One to give me an ability to receive a vessel to help the friend get an extra degree or am I asking an example for a deed without the mind? But just an example for a fool who just does the work and gives a friend an example. And by this, everything will come to the friend on his own without me being even present? Or should I be the one concerned about him and through me the friend will get the forces to remain in the same place that the king prepared for the work?

M. Laitman: Bit by bit you'll go through all these states, one at a time.

Student: Yes but when I'm with the friend and getting a big impulse to help him, to be a good friend of his, that he'll remain in this place and not come out of it and that he will have the forces to keep working. So what am I focusing on in my request to the Upper One?

M. Laitman: To help you help your friend advance forward toward the purpose of creation, as much as possible.

Student: Thank you.

M. Laitman: That is it, what else do we have?
