Part 2: Baal HaSulam. Shamati, 131. “Who Comes to Purify.”

Reader: Our next article Baal HaSulam. Shamati, 131, “Who Comes to Purify.”

Reading Article: (00:31) “Who Comes to Purify.”

“He who comes to purify is aided.” This means that one should always be in a state of “coming.” And then, in any case, if he feels that he has purified, he no longer needs to aid him, since He purified and left. And if he feels that he is in a state of coming and going, then he is certainly assisted, since there is no prevention before the desire, as he is seeking the truth.

M. Laitman: Again.

Re-reading Article: (01:22) “Who Comes to Purify.”

“He who comes to purify is aided.” This means that one should always be in a state of “coming.” And then, in any case, if he feels that he has purified, he no longer needs to aid him, since He purified and left. And if he feels that he is in a state of coming and going, then he is certainly assisted, since there is no prevention before the desire, as he is seeking the truth.

“For your love is better than wine.” This means that wine can cause drunkenness, and a drunk, the whole world is his since he has no deficiencies, even in the six thousand years.

M. Laitman: (02:31): Questions? So again, what is he saying? “He who comes to purify is aided.” This means that one should always be in a state of “coming.” That he is coming all the time and all the time wants to enter into this correction. And then, in any case, if he feels that he has purified himself, he no longer needs aid. Since he purified and left. And if he feels that he is in a state of coming and going, meaning coming to get purified then he is certainly assisted, since there is no prevention before the desire, as he is seeking the truth. 

Question (Women MAK 97): (03:43) Is it correct to say that a person should come to a state of coming to be cleansed and leaving before complete correction? 

M. Laitman: A person needs to always examine himself to see if he has anything to turn to the Creator with. The Creator is waiting only for requests of correction. And that's the pleasure for Him. That is the best state for Him which is why we need to examine ourselves and to turn to the Creator, as soon as we clarify what we need to get corrected. 

Student: When the person has been drunk, got drunk from the wine of the Torah, can the desire disappear? 

M. Laitman: No, no. Getting drunk is a special state that raises him in degrees. 

Question (MAK 4): (04:56) What does it mean to search for the truth? Because we know that the person always receives the desire from the Creator, and through this desire, he looks for the way to the Creator. 

M. Laitman: When he himself connects to the work of correction, it increases the pace of his correction, and it shows that a person has grown.

Student: And the fact that the desire itself is not corrected, is it not too bad? 

M. Laitman: You’ll get corrected. 

Question: (Women Ukraine 2): (05:43) It turns out that the more I advance, the more the breakage is revealed to me. Is it thanks to the Creator who doesn't let you fall, but rather shows you more and more your lack of correction? 

M. Laitman: Yes, His help is in showing you that you're more and more uncorrected. You need to thank Him for that.

Question (Women Spain): (06:29) In the turn, can we receive the force in order to aim our thoughts in the right direction? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Women Lithuania 5): (06:50) The article says, always being in a state of coming. So, does a person arrive ever? 

M. Laitman: At the end of correction. 

Question (Women MAK 48): (07:22) It is spoken here about two qualities. The one that is coming and the one that is going. What is the difference? 

M. Laitman: A person comes with a problem, a person leaves with a present. That is the difference. 

Question (PT 22): (07:50) What gives the person the confidence that his feeling of purification is correct and he's not deceiving himself? 

M. Laitman: That he'll hold on to the friends. 

Question (Kyiv): (08:10) How can I turn into he who comes to purify? 

M. Laitman: For you? I don't know. But to try to understand what's written in these articles. And another article, the one that will be. You'll see that through them, specifically through them, you reach the goal.

Student: He who comes to purify, is what? That I want to be corrected? 

M. Laitman: Yes, of course. 

Student: What does it mean that he's being aided, I'm being aided? In what am I being aided? 

M. Laitman: From above, you're being aided. That you're drawn, that they're pulling you upward.

Question (Women MAK 26): (09:04) This quality of coming and going, what does a person feel in front of this Creator with such a quality? 

M. Laitman: I can't explain to you what a person feels towards the Creator. This needs to be felt. He feels himself as good.

Student: What brings him to that? What leads to that? 

M. Laitman: The main thing is simply to read these articles, these out of Shamati, and to try to feel each article, and to bring oneself to the Creator. 

Question (Women MAK 86): (10:15) When you come to the Creator with a prayer, he immediately answers this prayer, and you escape back to your vessels of reception. Do I do that, or do I need to thank the Creator?

M. Laitman:  You need to continue to work.

Question (Women Kyiv 7): (10:41) How does the non-stop prayer and joy combine together? 

M. Laitman: Joy and the prayer, prayer, and joy, there are no oppositions here.

Question (Women Moscow 7): (11:04) What is this point that experiences shame as a result of the gap between it and the Creator? If we have a quality that is completely opposite to the Creator, where does the shame come from? Do you need to prepare yourself, or what? 

M. Laitman: Shame comes from above. It's sent by the Creator Himself in that form, and in that portion, and in that connection, which is determined that you need to feel in that way in order to rise to the next degree.

Student: Do we need to prepare ourselves for it somehow, in order to feel the shame? I'm asking because we are in this external environment where many things that are opposite to the Creator are not counted as things that you need to be ashamed of. Do we need?

M. Laitman: You don't need anything like that. When it will be necessary, then you will feel it.

Question (Women MAK 51): (12:18) The feeling of filth internally grows. It grows internally, and that awakens a turn to the Creator for the request of correction. But what is the sign of advancing? The fact that you can hold on to it, you contain it so it won't spill out? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And if you are unable to do so, what to do? 

M. Laitman: Pray, ask. 

Question (Women Moscow 6): (12:58) A question from a friend. If the ego conceals from us the fact that we need correction, how to raise a request to the Creator constantly? 

M. Laitman: Through the friends, through the connection between you. You need to adhere to what's happening between you. 

Question (Women Latin 22): (13:33) Can you explain when we are searching, when we are looking to come to the advice of the Rav, do we come to the truth? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: And that's what the Creator sends us? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Women Spain): (14:17) How to maintain faith above reason when the thoughts are pushing you more and more? 

M. Laitman: Only through the connection in the society. Only through the connection in the society.

Question (Women MAK 30): (14:47) The fact that we are here in the lessons, does that mean that we came to purify? But the more we are included in the study, in the work in the Ten, this is how, when we feel more our deficiencies, that only with this key we can advance and that we are still very far. Is it correct? Is that the way to advance? 

M. Laitman: That's not correct, because advancement consists of your evil being revealed to you, your evil in each one of you and in the whole Ten together, and to the extent that the evil is revealed, you come closer to the Creator and not get distanced. And the fact that you consider yourself as being opposite to the Creator more and more, this shows your closeness to the Creator. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva 33): (16:06) He who comes to purify is aided. That is felt, for example, in personal work, there is a certain process. Now, in the work in the Ten, when we turn to the Creator together for a certain correction, it is felt as if there is a very powerful force, which is completely different. And you said that when a person wants to be purified, he is aided, and he comes to the Creator and he receives this sort of gift.

We are in preparation for the convention, and the topic of the convention is faith above reason, which is something that is very personal. And we are doing such a great congregation here. So, can we say that we come to the convention with the intention to be purified? 

M. Laitman: Yes, of course.

Student: All of us like that, yes?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Moscow 1): (17:15) Today, in Bnei Baruch, a person needs to hold on to the prayer through the connection in unity in order to reveal the breakage in order to become as one. Is that correct? 

M. Laitman: Correct, yes. 

Question (Women Turkiye 5): (17:54) A question from a friend. I see that the friends have different approaches to the study, they have all sorts of styles. There's a friend, for example, who likes to go above reason, and there's one that wants to be more connected, and there's a friend that likes studying. The question is, how should we unite all the friends with all the different styles into one goal? 

M. Laitman: We need to learn the articles of Rabbah together, which we already went through. And what we go through when it's not clear, you can ask, and I'll answer you, or there will be someone else who will answer you, and this way we'll advance quickly. 

Question (Women MAK 70): (19:03) A question from the friends. Can we say that when our desire and our intention in order to give pleasure to the Creator, with them we are looking to become like Him, to be restored like Him? Can He receive our turn in that case? 

M. Laitman: Of course, we just need to ask and truly for everyone to ask together.

Question (Women German 8): (19:43) I feel that I'm very distant than the state of being drunken from love. In which case, what am I drunk from now? What is the medicine, the remedy to turn hatred into love? 

M. Laitman: We need to learn that and realize what is written, and then you'll feel it. I don't have something else to answer you. 

Question (Women Spain): (20:32) The weight of the body goes against the desire to reach truth. What does the body benefit from all this work, and what can we give it in order to convince it? 

M. Laitman: The body benefits by it serving the soul. That's its whole profit. Is that clear? I’m telling you all goodbye until tomorrow. Be well.
