Question: You spoke about those who have studied Kabbalah for many years and still don’t hear that the main thing is Arvut (mutual guarantee). How can I know whether I hear it or not?

Answer: Very simply! It is clear by how much you care about connection with others so that the Creator, the upper light, will be revealed among you, about how much this concern burns within you.

Moreover, it is not overshadowed by visions of what you might supposedly achieve. You don’t need to achieve anything except connection. Not even the Creator needs to be attained. It is written: “If only they would abandon Me but keep My Torah.” What does “My Torah” mean? That is Arvut.

All the laws of the Torah are here, within.

And if this is how you relate to your existence in the world and in the group; that is normal. That is the test.
Question: Do those who don’t hear affect those who do?

Answer: They affect those who hear only if they are capable of reaching Arvut but are lazy. If people are not yet able to hear, but join in, they do not interfere. This includes beginners or those who are currently in various confusions, in a descent, and therefore do not hear; well, what can you do. That is not a problem. The only problem is with those who truly can but are lazy.

So what should we do about this? Should we perhaps establish some sort of order, a system, inspections, and so on? No, we should relate to everyone as Baal HaSulam says: One who is drilling a hole in the boat should be thrown out. But in principle, we should think more about correction.

If our direction, like a team, is the necessity of Arvut, then there can be no one extra inside: either a person joins, or it’s clear that he is a stranger. And the greater the unity among those who agree, the greater the separation between them and those who are not in it.

But even those who are not inside should not be disregarded. We must understand that a person can be in all kinds of states.

In our time, the Jewish people are obligated to fulfill the condition of attaining Arvut (mutual guarantee). If they neglect this duty, a compelling force will be applied to them, which forces them to fulfill it through suffering.

The whole world is waiting for this, and because it waits, suffering and misfortunes are revealed on a global scale that causes the world to suffer and through its pain begin to understand the reason behind it all. Ultimately, suffering comes in order to indicate where the solution lies.

In the preface to “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Baal HaSulam writes that the Creator guides a person to the good fate by giving him, within a life full of suffering, a spark that shines faintly from afar through all the darkness.

The same occurs both for us and for the nations of the world. All current relations between us and the nations exist solely to compel us to engage in the practical aspect so that we may attain Arvut. The compelling force must reveal the necessity of this very task to us.

The nations of the world too gradually begin to understand through the suffering they endure where the true solution lies. We can see how they are slowly discovering that the root of the problem lies in Israel, which is seen as the worst part that causes harm to the whole world.

This is already a deeply advanced form of revelation. These are truly the signs of the Messiah.

Question: Must Arvut (mutual guarantee) be realized in action or is it enough for society simply to agree to it?

Answer: In the article “The Giving of the Torah,” Baal HaSulam explains that you are not capable of bestowing to another. No matter whom you choose from all of humanity, even the smallest, most modest in their desires, you will not be able to fulfill them.

It is clear that you only “burn yourself out” in an attempt that is doomed to fail from the start. If you intend to fulfill people’s needs through action so that they may be happy, it will not yield good results.

We must understand that happiness is not a matter of money, politics, or psychology. Happiness arises from the feeling of adhesion with the upper. That is what fills all the lacks within the desires a person feels.

Our concern should be to lead humanity to the understanding that fulfillment comes only through the light, not through various actions in this world.

A person will never be satisfied, no matter what it is. You will never be able to satiate them. What we must care about is that people understand what the true means is and come to acquire it.

The people of Israel originate from the “fathers,” from the Kabbalists. Therefore, their entire structure differs from the structure of other nations. Even the kings and ministers who ruled at the time were not aristocrats like it is customary among other nations.

The entire nation, which descended from a group of Kabbalists, originally had a clear law stating that all are equal and no one has any privileges over another that they do not deserve, but they receive by inheritance from the father or mother, as is customary among the peoples of the world.

There has never been slavery or oppression of one part over another among the people of Israel. From the time of Abraham onward, there has never been a case when every boy was not taught to attain spirituality, that they could not read, and did not know what they were living for. This was hundreds of years before the destruction of the Temple.

Thus in the foundation of the people the conditions, laws, and tasks for the end of correction were initially laid. But when they were affected by the force of destruction, they adopted the morals of their neighbors, and as a result everything fell apart.

Although they became mixed with all the nations of the world, this still did not lead to any change in the people themselves, to the introduction of laws that someone is above or below others, to changes in the area of education, social functions, and so on.

The fact is that the Kabbalists stood at the foundation of the people, and thereby the basis for correction was laid. This group truly can lead to the correction of all the rest of humanity. It is not that it causes these corrections, but it awakens in the nations of the world their correct form.
