Reading Article: (00:31) Letter 24.

November 7, 1956, Manchester

Hello and all the best.

To my friend,

In response to your letter from October 27 regarding your first question about having to stand guard and evoke the love in the hearts of the friends, which you find unbecoming, I actually see that as necessary for you. You know what Baal HaSulam said, that from between man and man one learns how to behave between man and the Creator.

This is so because the upper light is in complete rest, and it is necessary to always evoke the love, “Until the love of our wedding pleases.” In other words, you are being shown from above that on this way, you must always evoke the love of His name, since everyone awaits your awakening.

That is, as you see that in love of friends you have the rights as you see it, meaning as it is being shown to you from above, you are the evoker (although the truth is not necessarily so; if you ask the friends, I am not so sure they agree with your evidence that it is only you who desires them and not the other way around).

This is the meaning of “A judge has only what his eyes see.” That is, as far as judgment goes, you must judge only by your evidence. This is why it is being shown to you from above that you have to keep awakening the love of the Creator in this way, that you must always stand guard, all day and all night, when you feel a state of day or feel a state of night.

We say to the Creator, “Yours is the day, and Yours is also the night.” Thus, the night, too, the darkness of night, comes from the Creator to man’s favor, too, as it is written, “Day to day utters speech, and night to night expresses knowledge” (See the Sulam Commentary, Part 1, Item 103).

It follows that you must awaken the heart of the friends until the flame rises by itself, as our sages said about it, “When you mount the candles.” By that, you will be rewarded with awakening the love of the Creator upon us.

And regarding your second question about your always having to evoke the heart of the friends, who, after they have already been rewarded with seeing the importance of the study, etc., still do not respect the lessons—that, too, stands to your merit.

In other words, you had to see for yourself that the Creator has given you His proximity several times already. There have already been several times when you felt that you had no other concern in the world but to remain adhered to Him forever, for you are unworthy of serving the King even in the simplest of works because why should you be more privileged than your contemporaries?

And yet, you wait for the Creator to awaken you to work, meaning to have an awakening from above, and then you will begin to study the lessons.

Namely, just as you must awaken the students, you are saying that the Creator should awaken you. That is, if the Creator gives you a reason and good taste in the work, you will agree to work. But before that, you cannot. Then, you are shown from above how low and inferior you consider the students to be.

And regarding the third question, about keeping the party with great exaggeration, it is so because this is how people behave when they are afraid that the baby will leave the house alone at night. They tell him, “There is a bear outside and other wild beasts,” since the baby cannot understand any other way. In other words, if he were to know the truth, that there is no lion or bear outside, but it is best for the baby to go to sleep, and most importantly, to remain indoors, the baby wouldn’t be able to accept the truth.

Therefore, you should know my brother, that to accept the path of truth and the words of truth of Baal HaSulam, there aren’t many people who can hear the words of truth, for you are only seeing many kids. And what can I tell you while you are in kindergarten, and you are impressed by them, writing to me that they are cheerful and gay? Indeed, so is the way of babies—to be cheerful and gay. But it is known that a baby is not taken seriously when crying or when happy because its excitement and feelings are about unimportant matters.

And when you see that the baby is crying during service, you are impressed, and when he is glad and dances, you are impressed, and you write that you envy the children for being cheerful and dancing. And what do you want? To be a baby all over again? You should know, my brother, that your childhood days are over, since before you walked into Baal HaSulam’s room, you were dancing, just as they are.

And may the Creator assist us in the corporeal and in the spiritual.

Your friend, Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag

Son of Baal HaSulam

Hello and all the best. To my friend,

M. Laitman: (10:24) Yes, it is a short letter by Rabash to his disciple. Actually, it is to all the disciples. What can we add to this?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:56) I am asking this question every day, not only now when reading the article. What does it mean to awaken the love to the friends each and every day? What does it mean to awaken the love, as far as I am concerned?

M. Laitman: To awaken in each and every friend love for the Creator, love for the student for his friends, so we will all feel that this is exactly what we need.

Student: He is writing that the light is a rest. The light is the light of love, of course. And he writes that you are shown from above, that in this way you must always evoke the love of His name. Meaning, by seemingly awakening the friends to love, I am drawing the light to the friends as a channel of light, as we discussed this morning?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What happens when I feel rejection from the friends? How in this state do I work?

M. Laitman: You fight against that feeling, and nevertheless try to come closer to the friend, and awaken in him love for you, for the Creator, and for everyone. But most importantly, you are concerned with how you relate to it, that you will have love and responsibility, and this is how you advance.

Student: So, the correct way to see it is, I see it every day that as much as I give the best attitude to the friends, it is actually to the Creator. And in parallel, it is giving me the deficiency to ask Him for this correction, because I feel in that point where I feel rejection, repulsion, it is a prayer, it is an opportunity to ask the Creator for correction, to love the friends more. Is that correct?

M. Laitman: It should be that way too. One does not cancel the other.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:24) What is that bear outside that says, that you tell the child, beware of this lie, that you can tell them for the time being?

M. Laitman: The whole world is like that. Everyone is like babies, little children, and the Creator is playing with everyone in this way.

Student: What is that bear outside? We can also be considered as little children.

M. Laitman: Yes, we too.

Student: So, how do they scare us? Using which bear?

M. Laitman: With everything. Check what you are afraid of, and what excites you, and this way you will have it.

Student: What for? In order to keep us in the room at home?

M. Laitman: Not only that. We have fears, anxieties that scare us, and we are afraid of them and don't want to be in contact with them. But, on the other hand, what can you do? This is our nature. We are babies, little babies we don't understand the truth, and what step to go forward. Each step of the way, and that's the way it is.

Student: They say to the babies that the bear is outside, so they will stay at home and go to sleep. What is it for us to stay at home?

M. Laitman: To stay during the lesson, to follow, to do the actions we need to do, and in this way to continue our line which, in the end, brings us to connection with the Creator.

Student: So, it's like a protection, that anyone on the path will be there, so as not to run away.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (15:51) If there's no feeling of a bear outside, the other way around, most of the time there's a feeling of, but it's as usual. Sometimes there's a bear, sometimes it's just mundane and relaxed. Is the article speaking about how a person should awaken the love of the Creator, or to awaken the connection in some form, and to remember that there's no real connection with the Creator, and to try to awaken it in some form. Is it about that as well?

M. Laitman: We need to nevertheless search for that line in which the Creator awakens us, and we want to awaken His relation toward us, and in this way, it'll grow and become sanctified.

Student: It can also come from us, if He doesn't awaken it?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:18) It says, look my brother, the time of childhood is over because before you entered Baal HaSulam’s room says when we were dancing just as children. I feel like we also passed the time of childhood. And I wanted to hear what truth, what is He talking about? Because He's willing to hear if He's not a child anymore.

M. Laitman: That we don't need to receive from the Creator, from above, signs of joy or signs of weeping and sadness. Rather, we need to interpret these signs by ourselves.

Student: So, He wants to awaken the hearts of the friends to love the Creator. For that, we need to be in love between us. Are we capable of being in love among us to awaken that?

M. Laitman: We have to.

Student: By what? How can we awaken love between us? Without the Creator being the one who…

M. Laitman: Perhaps, among other things, we have to ask the Creator to help us. But the fact that it's our duty to come to love between us, love one another, this is mandatory.

Student: So, what's lacking in order to be there? Not just to be in the right direction. I think we're in the right direction. What are we missing to complete it?

M. Laitman: What else is missing in order to complete it? Complete our relation to the Creator. To ask of Him.

Student: To reach this request, we need to do everything in our power and also to feel that there's one more thing that only the Creator can do. What do we need to do in order to reach a state where we do everything within our power to do?

M. Laitman: Only a prayer. Only a prayer.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:41) He writes about acquiring the path of truth of Baal HaSulam, that there aren't that many people who are able to hear the words of truth and accept the path of truth. What depends on man's ability to accept the truth, to hear the truth?

M. Laitman: To hear the truth and accept the truth. A person needs to ask for this and perform many actions for it until it is imprinted in his heart, and he determines in all his actions that this is what he needs.

Student: So, it looks to me from the letter, that even if you're right next to it, it doesn't mean that you received it and you hear it.

M. Laitman: Correct.

Student: So, what is it? Is it a decision, a decisive moment? How does this change come about when you really begin to follow the path of truth?

M. Laitman: When a person begins to hear the voice of the Lord from above calling him, drawing him and in this way, he advances toward the truth.

Student: On what does hearing depend?

M. Laitman: On the extent to which a person awakens himself with his society, to the extent that he can be incorporated in the society and ask the Creator for the help, for the force of the connection. In this way, he gradually builds it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (21:58) On the same point that he wrote here, there aren't that many people who are able to hear things of truth because you only see many children, many kids. Who merits hearing the truth?

M. Laitman: Those who can overcome his tendencies, his desires, the sweet things that seem to him like he needs them. If a person can overcome and arrange himself in a way that he is drawn only to the truth, then he gradually begins to discover where this truth is buried.

Student: What is the truth that he hears then?

M. Laitman: He hears that it's okay, that it is possible to work on it for another year, another two years. There's no rush. And in this way, this is how it comes.

Student: And everything he heard before, everything he heard thus far, everything he did, was a lie?

M. Laitman: Yes. Except he didn't hear that it was a lie. He didn't notice, he didn't discern that it was a lie.

Student: Another thing. He writes here about your second question. You must always awaken the hearts of the friends and after they've been rewarded with seeing the importance of the study and still, they do not consider the lessons, this is also to your merit. Is the role of the teacher to awaken the students?

M. Laitman: For sure it is. The only question is to what extent. Because the teacher always leaves room for the student, for each and every student, for the connection between them, for them to see how to help each other.

Student: Why does he say that when he looks at the students as lowly, that they show it to him from above? He writes here, then they show you from above what lowly way you consider the friends. What is that state?

M. Laitman: He has contempt for the friends. Disrespect for them.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center) (25:20) What does it mean day to day you will express utterance and night to night you will express knowledge?

M. Laitman: It is that each day and each night add in different ways, even opposite ways, adds to the person who is advancing. If he hears what the day summons for him or what the night does, it advances him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center: (26:08) This person Rabash is speaking to is not a child anymore. He said he is connected directly to Rabash. He is in all the lessons. He awakens, creates an awakening from below that awakens love of friends and awakens the importance of the lessons. From all these actions he becomes a slanderer against his friends relative to Rabash and also in his heart.

He sees himself above them. Question: We say that each one judges according to his own flaws. So how can we learn about this dialogue between us and the Creator where the moment we raise a prayer, the reality in which we see the friends, we understand that this is what we have to correct right now and not that we will become slanderers to our friends.

M. Laitman: We just have to work on it.

Student: The Rabash, throughout the entire letter, is trying to teach the student how to properly interpret the reaction of the Creator relative to the good actions he did. My question is the student did all the actions that we said need to do in order to receive correction but from the actions that he took he became a greater slanderer toward the friends. He moved more toward Rabash.

He slanders the friends before Rabash. He does the opposite of what needs to be. I see that that's what's happening. How do we say that a person is close to himself? How do we? The voice of the Creator that you said that you begin to hear how can we hear it the way we want to hear Him? The way He wants us to hear Him.

M. Laitman: We have to work on it. We have to make efforts in this to come closer to each other, to unite, to annul ourselves more and more. Continue this way more and more.

Student: During the studies with Rabash was there such a thing that if I slander, I receive a punishment? Meaning if I find myself slandering or I hear someone slandering I receive a blow across the mouth right away but when someone slandered a friend he was stopped immediately?

M. Laitman: I never heard of this.

Student: So, how will a person know not to slander? How can we acquire this viewpoint that we are surrounded by perfect people who are the greatest of the generation, righteous parts of my soul, whose pure heart is speaking to me and I'm there in this picture with my mouth and my thoughts? How to come out of this loop?

M. Laitman: Only through labor. Unite with the friends more and more. Criticize your relation to them. See more of what Rabash and Baal HaSulam write about the connection between the friends and continue this way.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (30:07) Rabash writes that you have to devalue yourself, that the Creator gave him a few times His proximity, meaning that several times he felt that he had no other concern in the world but remained adhered to Him forever. I think that we also in our gatherings and the Ten and congresses, sometimes you have that feeling as if the Creator is present, that He enters into something, then it dissipates. The question is: Is this His game with us or is this our lack of preparedness to receive Him to accept Him

M. Laitman: We don't have to know this, but we have to relate to it this way.

Student: How to hold on to this feeling, to this sensation, but without receiving it and enjoying it for ourselves, as we say.

M. Laitman: This also pertains to that connection that a person wants to build.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (31:41) First of all I'm hugely impressed by all the letters, the reading, I can feel Rabash through these letters and more humanely and more personally. So, thank you to those who chose this. But I'm also very confused about this letter because as it was explained to another student about the fear and trepidation, the fear that keeps us here, to stay here and continue, but it ends with the fact that we're not children anymore. We need to hear the voice of the Creator. We need to reach a state where we are greater. So, my question is, we're talking about one person, we're talking about several people, we're talking about different states, and understand the beginning and the end, how from spiritual fear and trepidation, we get to hear the voice of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Attain the fear and trepidation and start developing these things and then you will see how specifically by this you come to connection with the Creator. That's it.

Student: But it sounds as if with spiritual fear and trepidation we're in Katnut, smallness. We're really small. We hide in the shadows. We do what's needed, we just sort of protect ourselves, but to hear the voice of the Creator. It sounds like you to be more daring for that.

M. Laitman: Yes, no, but first we have to advance toward fear, toward hearing, toward love. First of all, toward this.

Student: So there are stages inside the same person?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (34:06) It says you should awaken the heart of the friend until the flame rises by its own. As our sages said, when you mount the candles by that you will be rewarded with awakening the love of the Creator upon us. I wanted to ask about the love of the Creator upon us. Many times, complex things happen to us in life. Sometimes the friend doesn't say to you, ‘Oh, how the Creator loves you.’ So, we need to awaken the friends to love the Creator and then we know that love of the Creator is expressed in things that are less than simple. Is it the correct feeling to say that if the Creator loves you, He's going to give you obstacles?

M. Laitman: Not necessarily.

Student: So can we protect one another in this way from His love?

M. Laitman: Ideally.

Student: In prayer?

M. Laitman: In everything, we should maintain the relationship between the person and the Creator and between the Creator and the person, that each one will be in that as a guarantor toward the others.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (35:37) At the end of the article he says that he is not envious of a prayer of children and that his childhood ended when he entered the room of Baal HaSulam. Does it mean that in the prayer of children, there are no three conditions to the prayer because they don't tie to the Creator, and if the Creator will not save them, there's no one else to save them and I'm better off dead. That's what the children's prayer is lacking?

M. Laitman: Let's say that this, too.

Student: And if a big part of the time I don't feel it. There are states throughout the years when you reach a certain despair of our power, and despair comes out, or all the conditions exist. A big part of the time it doesn't exist. So am I in a children's prayer?

M. Laitman: By this, he means a baby's behavior.

Student: So, every time I pray it doesn't matter how, with the friends, and I don't feel that only the Creator can now save me and all that. Is this a children's a child's prayer and it's not the prayer of the heart?

M. Laitman: It can be a prayer of the heart, but you're still taking steps that are before the truth.

Student: Another question: What's the difference between a prayer of the heart and a prayer from the prayer book?

M. Laitman: A prayer of the heart is your prayer. From the prayer book you're taught how great ones used to turn to the Creator.

Student: So, with which intention do I open the prayer book? To be incorporated in them? To cleave to them?

M. Laitman: That you too, at some point, will have such intentions.

Student: You can reach a state where even if I don't open a prayer book my prayer will be like the prayer of the prayer book?

M. Laitman: Who knows?

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (38:04) You earlier said to another student that he has to overcome the sweet things that he thinks he needs and to be drawn to the truth alone, the question is: We don't always know what the other is doing, what the Ten is doing when we're not together. Plus, I don't know what are the others’ thoughts. What is the prayer that we can pray for one another so that each one can overcome these sweet things that he is attracted to in order to sweeten his day-to-day?

Question Repeated: You said that you have to overcome the sweet things that he is attracted to that he thinks he needs.

M. Laitman: That he is attracted to them naturally,

Student: Yes, oftentimes, we don't know what the other is doing. There are many times that the other is attracted to something sweet, and it's concealed from us. We don't really know. So, how can we help one another to have this power to overcome to pray during those moments when you're just you're sucked into something. What is the prayer for the friends?

M. Laitman: Talk to the friends and attain these correct words to do what you're saying. That's it.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (39:33) In the article it talks about awakening love and there are all kinds of ways of awakening love. Awakening the love of the friends, of the Creator, awakening the love of the Creator on us, awakening my love to the friends. Which love should we focus on? Which love should awaken? What's most important?

M. Laitman: We must awaken in our hearts love for the friends, so that through them we will be able to come to love the Creator. And in this way continue.

Student: When he writes here to awaken the hearts of the friends to love the Creator, is that a different action? To awaken my love to the friends in order to love the Creator is one way of looking at it. What does it mean to awaken the hearts of the friends so that they would love the Creator? Is that a different action?

M. Laitman: That too. A different action.

Student: What's the best way of doing it?

M. Laitman: When we get to it, we'll talk.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (40:53) When you have an awakening from above, then you'll begin to study the lessons. If I understand it correctly, he's criticizing the student that you're waiting for some awakening from above to start studying to deepen your studies. A student who feels that his study doesn't go deep enough, it's too superficial, what should he do to start the study?

M. Laitman: I don't think that this should be the main worry of a person.

Student: But if it's worrisome?

M. Laitman: If it's worrisome you should relax.

Student: So, what is the main worry?

M. Laitman: How to be adhered to the Creator through the friends.

Student: How should I ask it, Rav? There's a feeling that you are passing infinite depth to us in the lessons. You open up worlds, and I'm like these children. I come to the lesson, I enjoy some illumination that is holding me, and that's my interest here, to come to receive this illumination so I would feel connected to spirituality. I can't even interpret it. I don't have the words for it.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: You know the will to receive can continue like that for another hundred lifetimes if the Creator will make me lucky to be born next to a kabbalist. I'll continue. Maybe I've done it also in the past life. Who knows? I feel like I lack the tools to go deeper.

M. Laitman: I think that the problem is something else. The problem is that you need to constantly be in prayer for your friends, for all those women, all those people you see in front of you, now here in this lesson, and that your heart will ache over each and every one of them in what you can for sure help each of them, but you're not doing this.

Student: If there are friends who awaken this in me naturally, this sensation?

M. Laitman: Then learn from this what you need to do.

Student: And if I'll do it, how will that help me go deeper into the wisdom?

M. Laitman: Why do you need it? What is it for?

Student: It's the wisdom of Kabbalah, I want to open a person. I want the Creator I want to be revealed inside of us, no? Isn't that the goal? The cow wants to feed.

M. Laitman: No. Take it easy, little by little.

Student: I should not want to open up this wisdom simply be this righteous woman who prays?

M. Laitman: The important thing is to attach your heart to the Creator.

Student: What does it mean?

M. Laitman: Ask for an explanation.

Student: We ask the Creator for an explanation, for anything, when you turn to the Creator. You talk a lot about hearing, a person receives an answer. It could be from his ego, from his mind, from his intuition. How do you know that this is what the Creator truly wants from a person?

M. Laitman: Demand of Him. Demand of Him. That's it.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (45:24) It turns out that you must awaken the hearts of the friends until the flame rises by itself, as our sages said about when you mount the candles, and by that you'll be rewarded with awakening the love of the Creator on us. What is the feeling that we are awakening the hearts of the friends until the flame rises by itself? What is that state?

M. Laitman: Our heart will be so incorporated with our prayers, that they will be aimed from within our heart to the hearts of the friends and to the Creator, and it will be like a single path that leads everyone to correction. I can talk about it for another hour but I'm sure it won't be helpful.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (46:58) In this letter, we can understand that the level of deficiency for bestowal upon the Ten, we can measure through my level of disrespect, lack of appreciation for the studies.

M. Laitman: It's possible.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (47:33) Concerning loving the friends and reaching the love of the Creator, I feel that when I love the friends, when I purportedly feel love for the friends, it's because of my pleasure from them, then I love them. The question is: My love for them, is it supposed to be only my great yearning, my great desire, and prayer that they will feel the love of the Creator?

M. Laitman: It's possible that this is what awakens you.

Student: And when I feel pleasure from them when I enjoy them, and I don't please them, am I supposed to put a screen over it and basically ask for them at that time?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (48:35) I want to continue regarding the flame. Sometimes in meetings, at the end of the meeting, there's this feeling that love comes to everyone. Is this the flame?

M. Laitman: I don't know. I'm not in your gatherings. I'm not included there with those feelings but check it according to what you understand.

Student: If that feeling comes sometimes, there's a question of what to do with it.

M. Laitman: What to do? Share this feeling with the friends. You want everyone to feel this way.

Student: And then it can spread to the whole world?

M. Laitman: Yes. Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (49:36) There are states when the Creator kind of makes a miracle and gives you a strong awakening from above, to want to come closer to Him. You begin to work on this in all the ways we know, and then, of course, disturbances begin to increase in everything we know in life. Even though there is a desire only to engage all day in what pertains to spirituality, just to be in this all the time, you suddenly have all kinds of obligations, kids, work stuff like that. I understand it's the Creator doing it in order for me to overcome it and want to increase my prayer for Him, but sometimes it feels really like, even though they tell you He gives you only disturbances you can overcome, I don't have the energy to do it, the strength to do. it The Creator is not letting me overcome these disturbances He gives me. So, what do I do?

M. Laitman: What do you do? Ask the Creator.

Student: But I suddenly wake up at the end of the day and I realize I didn't ask.

M. Laitman: So, even more so.

Student: In times when I'm not conscious of Him, even though they may be very long, I should at least be thankful for the times I am?

M. Laitman: Try to have a desire and a yearning to fly above these states to the Creator and to demand, to obligate Him to help you with the correct prayer.

Student: And this prayer, should I include the friends in it the world, the Shechina?

M. Laitman: Of course.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (51:36) At the time of the Omer count, the depth of the corrections that you see, that the mirror is very deep, and at the end of each day you're just willing to give to the Creator a piece of your heart, but you're not getting love for the friends instead. So, it's a process before the reception of the Torah. Is it a cumulative process in the Omer count?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Just judging by the madness of the states we go through because each day you get such gifts. From that can we demand together and expect the light to come with this time?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (52:32) You said before that the Arvut, the mutual responsibility, between us, we have to maintain the relation of the Creator to the person and from the person to the Creator. How do we do it? What is this mutual responsibility, because it sounds like heavy responsibility.

M. Laitman: Yes, the attitude of the Creator to a person, that the person discovers, should awaken from him an equal attitude to the Creator.

Student: How can I be responsible for the friends, that they will do, that the Creator will relate to them correctly?

M. Laitman: Ask.

Student: Ask for the friends, that they will have the correct relationship with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Of course. Of course.

Student: To what extent should I really feel things, those things in order to be able to help the friends?

M. Laitman: Answer yourself.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:35) Also concerning the flame. The flame should be rising by itself. Rabash tells the student who tells him he has a life of sorrow, and Rabash tells him it's great. It means you're walking on the path of Torah. He explains about black over white, and there's black fire over white fire, meaning that everything you feel will be is a flame. What is this flame?

M. Laitman: Flame means a deficiency for the feeling of the friend or of the Creator that comes to a person's heart from below up. To the friends or to the Creator.

Student: Is there a connection to the intensity of the deficiency that defines the flame, like there's a small flame, medium flame, or big flame?

M. Laitman: I don't think a person is able to measure the intensity of the flame. I don't think so, but he can feel it. It awakens him.

Student: What characterizes the flame of deficiency, for what?

M. Laitman: That it emerges from his heart.

Student: What emerges from his heart?

M. Laitman: This deficiency.

Student: Deficiency for what?

M. Laitman: For adhesion.

Student: For adhesion and love of friends?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How should it be expressed, in importance, for example?

M. Laitman: It is more than importance. It's yearning, passion, a longing for connection.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:47) Concerning know my brother that your time of childhood has passed, as another student said, there's this feeling that the group has grown up, and it's expressed in more readiness to accept the recognition of evil and more evil that is revealed, but on the other hand, over the years, there's been this feeling that a person is becoming more and more of a child.

M. Laitman: That's actually a sign of greatness, of adulthood.

Student: It's not clear if a person should be ready, or not ready, because a child is never ready for something.

M. Laitman: That's how we have to come to annulment before the Creator and to bring to Him all of our questions and our passions.

Student: He says here that being a child, a baby, and all that, you're not there anymore; it's not good. On the other hand, we understand that the state of being a child is correct, as he says that a poor and wise child is better than a foolish old king, etc. So, what should a person feel about himself along the way?

M. Laitman: A child.

Student: Do you feel that you're a child?

M. Laitman: And how! Of course.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (57:52) We should awaken the hearts of the friends. To what extent should we see that the friends are awakening us every moment? Should we pay attention? Should we notice that the friends are waking us up?

M. Laitman: Yes, until we connect together to one another with this eruption of the flame.

Student: In other words, the flame depends on all of us feeling that this is a common mission, and in each lesson awakens?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (58:34) The flame that another student just mentioned, can we awaken it not only with words? Sometimes when we speak, it even puts out the flame and you can't hear these words anymore. There's a feeling that it's something very internal.

M. Laitman: There's all kinds.

Student: If we do what you suggested that each one will think only about the friends who are advancing and only long for them and only pray for them. What will happen then?

M. Laitman: You reach success.

Student: When you tell us, I heard it twice already, that the Creator is waiting for us, is calling us. You keep saying it with a lot of feeling, like an invitation. Is this what He wants from us?

M. Laitman: I guess.

Student: What does it mean that everyone is waiting for your awakening? To what is everyone waiting?

M. Laitman: That's what a person needs to think, to understand, that everyone is waiting for that.

Student: Waiting for what?

M. Laitman: For his awakening.

Student: An awakening is awakening for a prayer for them or a different awakening?

M. Laitman: All kinds of awakening that belong to attainment.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (1:00:12) To continue what the friends brought up yesterday, we said that a wise disciple is as hard as iron. How does this go along with us becoming children, not so understanding over time, and at the same time you have to be as hard as iron. What is this iron? Is it the righteousness of the way? What is it?

M. Laitman: That you don't move from your place.

Student: How do we convey this feeling to the friends, like if you want to give strength to the friends?

M. Laitman: We must stand on the same deficiency over which we expect salvation.

Question (Women Heb 2): (1:01:31) I often feel the heart is filled with a prayer. It’s bursting with it, but no words come out, not in writing and not in speech. Why does it happen and how to overcome it?

M. Laitman: Try to sing, try to whistle. Try. Anything that comes out of your heart, any feeling that comes from your heart is okay.

Student: Why does it happen? Why can't I put it into words?

M. Laitman: Ask the Creator.

Student: What's the difference between a four-year-old child and a 76-year-old girl, which is what I am?

M. Laitman: I would say that a four-year-old child receives more support from the Creator than you.

Student: I accept it, but the question is: Is there another difference? For example, that I am more aware of it, and I can.

M. Laitman: Of course, there's a difference, and these differences are already built into the state, your state, and the four-year-old.

Question (Women Heb 2): (1:03:34) Recently, when we read these letters, now that I talk about it, it's as if it's something... I feel like crying. It's as if I wrote this letter to Rabash and it's very, very moving. It's so deep from the depth of the heart that it's indescribable. It's a feeling that I don't know why it happens.

M. Laitman: Okay. You can calm down. You should calm down because it disturbs you.

Question (Women Turkiye 8): (1:03:57) How do we grow on the path? Do we grow by making others great? By taking on ourselves their burden? Or do we grow by holding on to the Rav, the one who is bigger than us?

M. Laitman: Both.

Question (Piter 3): (1:05:06) It's written in the text that I have to stand guard to awaken the love in the hearts of the friends. What does it mean to stand guard?

M. Laitman: To ensure that everyone will have this feeling in the heart.

Student: So, why is it accepted as something unfitting, unworthy, inappropriate?

M. Laitman: I don't know. I don't understand.

Question (Kyiv): (1:05:52): You awaken the hearts of the friends for so long each day. I don't know how many years now. More than the time of my life. What do you feel when you see the students you love that they don't have importance for their lessons, that they are absent? What do you feel about it?

M. Laitman: I feel like I haven't done enough work.

Student: Does it hurt you?

M. Laitman: Yes, on the one hand. On the other hand, I understand that this is what we call the sorrow of raising children. There is nothing you can do here.

Student: What do you do with this pain?

M. Laitman: I keep working with you.

Student: Here, in this letter, everything that's described here is from the perspective of the teacher toward the friends. You don't feel the friends here. So, how should we implement it, because the friends don't see me as a teacher, as a Rav? How do I implement it?

M. Laitman: It doesn't matter. Act in the same way.

Student: If that deficiency raises me to a prayer for adhesion with the Creator, then it's great. Let it continue until the end of correction. Or should I nevertheless see that the importance of the friends increases, that they gather more in the lessons?

M. Laitman: Do all of this. You have to collect and raise it by yourself.

Question (Women Eng 1): (1:07:57) The more we pray the Shema prayer, the more the love of self is revealed, and the pain to let go of this is revealed, and the prayer to love the friends and take the friends as the most important in my life is coming all the time. Would there be a point at which we begin to experience this? Because I prayed in the last 78 hours so much that I want to stop thinking about myself. I only want to think about the friends because I think that's the only obstacle that is in the path to reaching the Creator. Is that special to you?

M. Laitman: This you should do. You should do this. Forget about everything and think only about the friends. Only about the friends more and more. And you will see that you need nothing besides that. As it is written, after everything the only thing left for a person is the friends.

Question (Turkiye 2): (1:09:44) How can one be alert to love the Creator all day and all night? From where does he get the strength to pray?

M. Laitman: The greatness of the friend and the greatness of the Creator. That's it.

Question (Women Europe 5): (1:10:19) At the end of the letter he says, and may He help us in corporeality and spirituality. I understand what it means to help us in the corporeal, but what is it to help us in the spiritual? What is this work?

M. Laitman: It should give us the correct desire.

Student: Can it be a part of our daily prayer?

M. Laitman: Yes, it can be.

Student: You answered one of the questions that we have to guard the relation of the person to the Creator and the Creator to the person. What does it mean to guard the person's relation to the Creator and the Creator to the person?

M. Laitman: The relationship between them should be a direct one.

Question (Women Ukraine 2): (1:11:26) We do a lot of praying, a lot of knocking on the door, but the quality of the prayer is lacking. How do we shift from quantity to quality in the prayer? There is a feeling that one drop that reaches the ears of the Creator is better.

M. Laitman: This will come with time.

Question (Women ITA): (1:12:11) Being like children, light, sweet, with the quality of being very, very kind, can trust be a new beginning to grow in love? What is an awakening? What is the awakening that it gives us to be like children?

M. Laitman: Annulment. Annulment.

Question (Women MAK): (1:13:11) How to convey to the friends the flame of yearning for the Creator?

M. Laitman: I don't think that it's possible, but somehow through words.

Student: Can we say that the Creator lets us feel the taste of His love, and then we can awaken it only through love of friends? And this is basically our free choice?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How to constantly convince myself that I must do this free act of love of friends?

M. Laitman: To go back to it from time to time until it enters your DNA.

Question (Latin 4): (1:14:33) What is the sensation of love? What is the feeling of love, and how can we identify it?

M. Laitman: If you don't know what is the sensation or feeling of love, I can't explain that to you. I can't. Who doesn't know what is love? Raise your hand. We see that it's a minuscule number who don't know.

Student: If we take into account that we are egoists, and everything is based on reason, and we can be confused because of it, but the feeling is a kind of music that massages the heart.

M. Laitman: What's the question?

Student: What is the feeling? How do I know that what I feel is love? Because I might be confused with all kinds of feelings that I think are love.

M. Laitman: We don't know what love is. We don't. None of us can feel what love is. It's the upper light that spreads inside a person, and a person then rises in his feelings back to the Creator. That's it. You raised your hand to say that you don't know what is love. So, what do you even have to ask?

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (1:16:57) You said before to a friend that you can speak for another hour, but there will be no benefit from it.

M. Laitman: I'm certain. I've been in it for a long time already.

Student: I'm sure we all want there to be benefit. So, can you direct us so we will want it together with you that there will be benefit from the lesson?

M. Laitman: Only that you would feel that you lack even the smallest understanding of what love is. Then you ask the Creator to let us taste even a little bit of it because without tasting it, I don't know what it is. I can talk, I can shout, I can cry, but I don't know what it is. Rather, we need to ask for a taste in love, to taste it, even on the tip of your tongue. And then it will be easier for us.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (1:18:53) Is it possible to awaken the friend's heart by the care that you give to your family?

M. Laitman: No. It has to be aimed exactly at them, whoever you wish to pass on your feelings.

Student: I get confused a lot then. I work in a spiritual way and the responsibility I have for the family. I want to be on the spiritual path, but at the same time, I don't want to forget my family, and I want to also raise them in the spiritual path.

M. Laitman: Okay, I hear you. You will have change.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (1:20:41) I once asked you, what is love? And you said that it's when you let some stranger into your heart. What is it like? And what you said now that the upper light pulls a person up. How do those two things connect?

M. Laitman: I don't know. But that's how it is. I'm not throwing out what I said before.

Student: In the article, he called him his brother. It's something I didn't hear often that he calls someone his brother. Did he feel toward him a different kind of love? That's why he called him this way?

M. Laitman: I don't know. Don't ask me to interpret Rabash.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (1:21:46) To taste this love, what will help us reach it? Is it to be in constant prayer for everyone?

M. Laitman: No, I can't be with the same love to everyone and all the time. How is it possible?

Student: So, how do we approach tasting the love? Through what?

M. Laitman: Through the Ten.

Student: So not exiting the prayer for the friends. We shouldn't stop praying for the friends as much as we can. No matter what we ask, whatever they need, to constantly be in prayer for them, whether it's the necessities or to ask that the Creator will elevate them. And through this, we get a taste of love?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And then, afterward, can we broaden this?

M. Laitman: I don't think you'll need to expand it. I just think more and more friends will enter your circle, and it won't be by expanding, by growing your circle. No.

Student: So, the pleasure is in asking for others, praying for them?

M. Laitman: Correct. You came to the correct conclusion, the good conclusion.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (1:23:45) To continue with the same question, I'm walking around with the feeling that we are working on the connection, and we're searching for the prayer. And perhaps, as a woman, I feel that it has to come out. I feel like sometimes I'm choking. All the connection, the prayers, the lessons, the workshops, it's all for us. It's true that we say, yes, it's to bring contentment to the Creator, but because I don't really have a feeling of it, it remains stuck within me.

Before I came to study the wisdom of Kabbalah, I was suffocating from the ego and from everything I did for myself. And here, I feel even worse, because it's like it's even bigger stones. And what I really need, I feel like we as women, what we need is to scrutinize and to add and to relate to our people who are suffering tremendously, and to humanity in general, or to something outside of me, so that I will not feel that everything I attain here, with the friends and with the studies and with the understandings and feelings, it doesn't stay in me. Even in the Ten, I feel like it's staying in me. What advice can you give us?

M. Laitman: There is a blockage in you.

Student: Exactly. So, what advice can you give?

M. Laitman: Cleanse your heart.

Student: What do you mean, clean up your heart?

M. Laitman: It means to wash it thoroughly, and then when water washes over it, wash it from within, and then everything will be successful.

Student: Is working on love of friends and love of those who study with us, is this what's required in order to wash the heart so I will love my friends? Is this enough for it?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's enough.

Student: What about the people of Israel? We hardly mention them.

M. Laitman: It's clear that we need to include all of the people of Israel in all of our desires and our prayers. But, but.

Student: Because I feel like I'm leaving some of my children outside of the loop.

M. Laitman: It's true. It's true, but what can you do?

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (1:27:13) He writes, then you're shown from above what form and what lowliness and ignobility you look at the students. When a person gets this feeling of ignobility and lowliness as much as he may try and want and yearn with everything he does, then he gets a prayer from the bottom of the heart to ask the Creator to awaken the hearts of the friends?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (1:28:09) To continue the previous question and also to continue the answer we got from you before. The situation in the people of Israel awakens in me, naturally, a lot of pain and concern and emotions. And just as was said, I feel like there's a wall. It's as if I really feel like I have responsibility for them. There are thousands of grieving families, and it's not clear how we're giving them anything.

M. Laitman: We need to give them only connection.

Student: How do we do that?

M. Laitman: Connection between us. Connection with the Creator. Connection, Ibur. Nothing more than that.

Student: How do we convey connection? How through the force that the Creator sends through us, how do we heal them by that?

M. Laitman: The Creator Himself will do it.

Student: But how can we be the pipeline in between?

M. Laitman: The Creator does that, too.

Student: So, we don't ask for anything?

M. Laitman: We simply pray for them.

Student: Can we really, before we get into the lesson, can we ask for them?

M. Laitman: Yes. Along the way, however long it takes a person to come to the lesson here or to turn on the computer, this is enough in order to connect and to ask the Creator for help. Heart to heart. We need to give our heart to all the hearts of our people in Israel. This will heal us, and we'll succeed.
