Reading: (00:19) 2. RABASH, Article No. 5 (1991), “What Is, ‘The Good Deeds of the Righteous Are the Generations,’ in the Work?"
We ask the Creator to give us the strength so we can perform all our actions for You, meaning for the sake of the Creator. Otherwise, meaning if You do not help us, all our actions will be only for our own benefit. That is, "If not," meaning "If You do not help us, all our actions will be only for ourselves, for our own benefit, for we are powerless to overcome our will to receive. Therefore, help us be able to work for You. Hence, You must help us." This is called "Do for Your sake," meaning do this, give us the power of the desire to bestow. Otherwise, we are doomed; we will remain in the will to receive for our own sake.
M. Laitman: Clear, yes? This is what we call the correct prayer. And the topic is clear. We need to reach a prayer only for the Creator.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:21) Now, to do anything for someone else, you need to see what he lacks.
M. Laitman: Right.
Student: What does He lack?
M. Laitman: He lacks only one thing, for us to think about Him. Turn to Him. With all of our actions, all of our prayers, that is what we lack.
Student: That you need to feel, see?
M. Laitman: And that's the problem. We won't be able to string together a few words and then we will receive. That's the problem. We can't feel. We can't feel that state where the Creator dwells.
Student: What do we need to ask in order to reach the request of doing for Your sake?
M. Laitman: To think about it. There is nothing else we need to do besides that.
Student: To think about how to come to a request which is for Your sake.
M. Laitman: Yes. It's a desire that lacks the desire. With our nature we can turn to the Creator and work toward Him in this way.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:18) When does the Creator help a person?
M. Laitman: When a person truly asks, demands something true, real.
Student: The person thinks that he is asking, demanding, but in reality he sees, well perhaps he doesn't feel the assistance he gets from the Creator, or maybe his demand isn't true.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: So, what does he do in that state?
M. Laitman: If he doesn't receive what he asked for, even if it's clear that it is an unnatural request but rather an artificial one, then it turns out that he receives nothing.
Student: How can I tell that I'm receiving?
M. Laitman: You can tell in your senses you can detect it.
Student: And so long as I don't receive?
M. Laitman: You don't receive. And for you, it's like a void.
Student: My question is how to make the prayer more and more accurate?
M. Laitman: He writes, number three, a prayer is work in the heart. That is, since the root of man's heart is the will to receive, and he needs the opposite, meaning that it will work only to bestow and not receive, it follows that he has a lot of work in inverting it. And since this is against nature, he must pray to the Creator to help him come out of his nature and enter what is discerned as above nature. That's what a man needs, but we can't ask what we don't have. Even now, anyone who hears, he should hear that the greatest request we can raise is only to ask for the forces to bestow to the Creator.
Student: Previously, you said that a person has a desire in which there is no desire.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Then by nature we can't turn to the Creator and act towards Him. So, what can we do?
M. Laitman: From what to begin?
Student: Yes, from what?
M. Laitman: The question is simple. From what do I begin? I agree that this is a path, this is the way although I don't quite feel it, I don't understand the degrees of how to attain it. But nevertheless, if I take upon myself “above reason” to do all kinds of actions that will get me to Lishma, which is something that will change all of the forces inside of me. It's not going to help much, because I wasn't born with it. I never received it, it doesn't seem like I can get it from anywhere through some action. It's a problem.
Student: What could help?
M. Laitman: What could help? Let's keep reading.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:56) We know that at some stage we need to reach a cry. So, what you said about it being a weak desire with no desire, these weak things, from that we need to reach a true outcry for the prayer to be answered. So, there's a big gap basically between that small unscrutinized thing and that great outcry, that shout. So, it can come from two things, as we say, either it's you running away from something bad, that's where we are, or you really want to reach that other new thing which is not properly scrutinized and it's weak. From where does the outcry come, the shout?
M. Laitman: The cry, the shout, the cry comes from your desire that is entirely aimed at approaching the Creator and fulfilling Him.
Student: I heard that it's something very weak, that we don't have it in us. So, how to reach that outcry?
M. Laitman: Start. Start to cry, and the important thing is to add to what you're crying about.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:25) We ask that the Creator give us the power to be able to act. What is that power, that force that we ask for?
Student: That power that He wants us to receive from Him, and by using Him, we'll resemble Him.
M. Laitman: So, it's kind of a… kind of a hothouse, it's something that we're not in it.
Student: We're not in it?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:04) You just told the friend to start crying, then add power to that cry. What is the addition?
M. Laitman: The addition should be that each time I want to be a greater bestower. I want to bestow more, and more, and more. And this has to be a result of seeing how much my work, my exertion is turning toward the Creator. And besides that, I want nothing. That's it.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:19) As we now heard, we watched a recorded lesson with you about the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, and there in item four there was the rule where the coming of the light and its departure makes the vessel worthy of its robes. So, were we ever in a state where we only serve the Creator?
M. Laitman: No, never. We need to keep learning what He writes about it in order to check if we are turning toward the Creator or not.
Student: We don't have such Reshimots, records?
M. Laitman: No.
Student: According to that rule, how can there be such a vessel if it was never in that state and then departed from it? How can it exist?
M. Laitman: From the site of birth. Because we seemingly have such records where we can bestow to the Creator.
Student: And how to awaken these records?
M. Laitman: Well, that's a question. That is a question. For the time being we didn't read about it.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:36) What will help us increase that cry, to scrutinize it, to extend it, to make it full?
M. Laitman: Well, we would all want to come to it. We'd all turn to this one address, which is the Creator, to ask the Creator to give us such powers, the importance of having that. Why aren’t we drawn to this? It's not important to our will to receive. So, we need to ask. Ask the Creator for importance in bestowing to Him. And only then we can hope it will happen, and we would want to pray for it and come to it.
Student: How, throughout the day, before the lesson what will help us work correctly in order to advance to that?
M. Laitman: The way we are learning how important it is, it's about how much I'm in it, how much time do I spend in it, praying, scrutinizing. On that depends my advancement.
Student: Do we need to aspire to be in that throughout the day as much as possible, in that scrutiny?
M. Laitman: Yes, as much as possible. And learn from one another. If a few jump up and want it, and it seems to them that they want it, first of all, be sure that they don't want it correctly because such an awakening is only in them, perhaps. And we need to reach a state where everyone, practically everyone is awake to that, and bestow to that.
Student: I hear that in the friends there is this. Is this the time of will right now? Is there the time for will right now?
M. Laitman: Well.
Student: In this period, now, is there a specific window of opportunity to break through?
M. Laitman: I don't think it's a window of opportunities, but I think it's according to the book. Because that's how it's written there, that we need to ask, and pray, and want to awaken a deficiency. So, we do it.
Student: What you're actually saying is the opportunity always exists. It depends on us.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:14) I want to touch on a point that you mentioned yesterday, that we need to come to a state in order to obligate the Creator. What is that point, the state where we need to obligate the Creator to answer us?
M. Laitman: That we understand that without His help we won't be able to move from our state, to advance. That cannot be. We must come out of, let's say, how He's closed in, and show us our true state, and how we implement it.
Student: You also touched it now, and you said we have to demand the real state.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: What's to demand the real state?
M. Laitman: To demand the real state is that we want to discover the Creator, and He, along with us, will give us forces to give us forces to implement, to perform this prayer.
Student: What else is demanded of us as a group, as a unit, to demand so that you'll see that we have a real desire here?
M. Laitman: Let's connect as much as each one can ask, but let's do it. Let's ask. You also need to believe me, that if I say that we are already right next to it, one step, we have one step remaining to do this. So, let's ask. The problem is that we are asking in a state that we don't see that it's the final stage in not knowing, and the next stage could already be in knowing, in awareness.
Student: You said we need to feel what we need to ask from the Creator. What is that above this special need that we now need to ask from the Creator, what's to feel that? What does that mean, everything that enters our will to receive?
M. Laitman: Revealing his reality. That is what we need.
Student: To discover the reality of the Creator towards us?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: What does that mean?
M. Laitman: Then we keep going. After that degree that the Creator is revealed we will know more how we should advance.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:24) This request from that state is it egoistic? Does it contradict this condition for the Creator to be revealed?
M. Laitman: No, the plea is not egoistic because to begin with we want to give Him contentment and that's why we're asking for Him to reveal what we can do for Him, for His sake. That's it.
Student: If that person is not in that state in which he wants to do it for him he's in his ego.
M. Laitman: If he's completely in the ego-so he doesn't understand what we’re asking about. For him it's like something out of a dream, but he must see that what he's told to ask for from the Creator, he needs to correct himself in order to demand it.
Student: Meaning, there is a desire and the desire is egoistic and a person needs to coercively say reveal yourself so that I will be able to bring You contentment even though he doesn't feel that way?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:01) You said earlier that we need to believe you when that you’re next to it, one step remains?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: What's that step?
M. Laitman: That step is just as he writes. What we read is exactly his words. We’re asking the Creator to give us forces and strength so we can perform from all our actions for You. For the sake of the Creator. Otherwise meaning if You do not help us all our actions will only be for our own self and benefit. For we are powerless to overcome our will to Receive. Up to here is it clear or not?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:40) Seemingly doesn't do other actions he says what we’re doing to continue to just do it for the benefit of the Creator. Meaning we don’t need to look for some tricks, meaning if I’m going to work soon then I continue to go but I need to be with that awareness that I’m operating as part of a system that is a result of my action will be benefiting the society and the Creator and not remain with any thoughts for my own benefit and I don’t want to draw something for myself. It’s a change in the consciousness and awareness and not in the actions, right?
M. Laitman: Just as he writes,”and the Creator will give us the forces that we will be able to do all these for Him. Meaning, for His benefit. If not Meaning, if You do not help us all our actions will only be for ourselves.You can see that, how it happens with us. If You do not help us all our actions will only be for ourselves. For we are powerless to overcome our will to Receive. Therefore, help us be able to work for You. Hence, You must help us! This is called “ Do for Your sake.” Meaning do this, give us the power of the desire to bestow otherwise we are doomed, we will remain in the will to receive for our own sake. What else isn’t clear?
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:13) My attitude to what we're doing here, work in the Tens, study, dissemination. We need to understand the goal for asking the Force to see that we’re doing it all for the benefit of the Creator and not for any other reason?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: It’s like a change in awareness because a student that comes here wants to attain spirituality, to be in bestowal, to understand, to learn, to swallow everything expecting to be better and here we’re talking about we need to put something else into our relation, our attitudes. The whole essence of our action is to come to some just state that all we do we do for the Creator and that’s it? Without any demands for ourselves?
M. Laitman: Yes. So why does that bother you?
Student: It doesn’t bother, it helps, it gives a different stage for the work.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:26) I heard you say that we need to ask for forces to bestow to the Creator?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: What does the Creator demand for us to bestow to Him?
M. Laitman: That you bestow everything that comes into our will to receive.
Student: So what does that mean everything that enters our will to receive?
M Laitman: We have a will to receive let's connect all our desires into each and everyone into one. And into that big, one desire to receive, that common desire, we want to receive from the Creator what He wants to give.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:26) He says, help us so we will be able to work for your benefit.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: How can we give to a force that is absolute bestowal?
M. Laitman: Help Him realize Himself.
Student: How do we locate the point that the Creator receives pleasure in?
M. Laitman: The Creator doesn't receive pleasure because He is in a state of giving pleasure.
Student: That's the difficulty.
M. Laitman: It's not a difficulty, that's His state.
Student: Yes, but we relative to His state, where we want to depict to ourselves the prayer and what we're asking, we need to depict somewhat that the Creator receives something from us.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: How do you locate that point where He receives something from us? We want to bestow to Him, to benefit Him, to give Him. You need to distinguish, to depict this point where He receives it.
M. Laitman: I don't see any difficulty here. If the Creator wants to give to the lower ones, and if the lower ones want to receive from Him, so I guess they also have the ability to accept it in order to give it to Him, to give Him contentment by that.
Student: It's only a matter of receiving from Him pleasure? Or is there something beyond that?
M. Laitman: No, that's exactly that. That we have to ask of Him for forces to help us to be in receiving from Him, in bestowal.
Student: And besides the state of receiving, it also delights Him that we're in some greatness that brought us together. There's a certain development and greatness?
M. Laitman: That if we will be able to receive from Him, that will be because He wants it. And then we can perform that action.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (31:51) From all our scrutinies since the friend began, it looks like the force to be drawn is weaker. It doesn't have sufficient forces to be drawn towards the goal. But rather, to be pushed from behind, there's power and strength. To go out of ourselves, we're probably missing pain. If we really had the pain to be drawn, then we would have the strength to ask for the desire, because we don't have it in us. This desire is also not known to us, because we were never in it. How do we create the pain to want to be drawn, and not be pushed by suffering?
M. Laitman: From the fact that the Creator wants to give, He illuminates on his behalf. He only gives on his behalf. So, we want to develop in us the will to receive to that exact light that comes out from the Creator to us. That's it. How is that possible? Only if we will be able to receive in order to bestow.
Student: That principle is clear to us. It's not the first time I'm hearing that we're close to it. In the last two years, I heard it several times that you said it, mostly around conventions, that we're truly a step before. And we don't have this pain to really want to be in a request to the Creator. How can we really want this pain to be drawn and not be pushed? At least to me, this is the impression that we're missing. Without us being pushed by suffering, by suffering, for sure, we'll move.
M. Laitman: Wait, here it means that if you're not resembling the Creator, that is your suffering. No.
Student: That's right, and that's what I'm asking about. How will I come to such a point that if I don't have suffering that will pain me, that I'm not similar to the Creator? Because that's the inversion point.
M. Laitman: Correct.
Student: That's the new point.
M. Laitman: Yes, correct.
Student: How do I come to that suffering before I tasted that taste that I'm missing that flavor of the Creator? If I had the records, if I had those tastes, then I'd feel a deficiency. I'd miss something that I was in already. Here, the point is that we have to aspire to something that's unknown, that we don't have any idea about.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: How do I come to this suffering even before, to this pain, to be drawn to a quality that I have no concept, no touch, no… No idea.
M. Laitman: That's why he tells us afterwards, in quote number three, and four, and onward, he says that the main thing is the need for that desire in the heart. A prayer is a work in the heart. Number three, a prayer is a work in the heart. That is, since the root of man's heart is the will to receive, and he needs the opposite, meaning that it will work only to bestow and not receive, it follows that he has a lot of work in inverting it, that desire. And since this is against nature, he must pray to the Creator to help him come out of his nature and enter what is discerned as above nature.
Student: Why I still didn't get an answer?
M. Laitman: Okay, well keep scrutinizing it we will keep discussing it.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:44) I don't quite understand this discussion about suffering, because Rav tells us that we're one step and we're reaching something that we need. Something else is missing.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: If we're in a very long journey and there's one more step to the end, there needs to be great joy. The fact that it's a week and we don't see doesn't mean that we have to now search for suffering. I think we need to search to strengthen the faith in order to see that here the great thing is close and we want it, and to strengthen the positive. Why look backwards and say, where are the sufferings? No one wants suffering. Also, the will to receive is a lie. It can't be that the will to receive wants suffering.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: So if we want, let's strengthen the good. Here it's close. Let's talk about how good it is that we're about to reach it, to bestow to the Creator. It's a great privilege to do it together. How much it delights the Creator, the Kabbalists, the Rav. We need to see the good before our eyes. Who wants suffering?
M. Laitman: We want to invert our desire from receiving in order to bestow, to give pleasure to whoever is foreign to me. And then I'll have identification, equivalence of form with the Creator. When can that be? When I have only a desire to bestow to Him.
Student: So, we need to draw it, to see it, to want it, to develop it.
M. Laitman: That's what we're trying, from discussing it between us.
Student: It will hurt as a result of not having it, and maybe it's along the way. But we don't need to search for suffering.
M. Laitman: We're not searching for suffering. On the contrary. We need to invite the lights called pleasures.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (39:28) Continuing the friend, we want to be drawn to the good and not feel the bad from behind. That's the big challenge, how to be drawn to the good. And I want to repeat this point you mentioned before. We have to be ready to receive the light in order to bestow to the Creator. What is this readiness? How or where does it come from, this readiness? How do we reach that readiness to be a vessel that the Creator clothes in us because we are ready to be the bestowers?
M. Laitman: The Creator is ready to clothes in us if we want to be bestowers.How do we know this? From equivalence. From equivalence. If our desire and the desire that the Creator created will be the same, then we will be on the same wave, on the same level, in the same state. But if our desire is not like the Creator created, then I'm in darkness.
Student: There's like a point here that is concealed. That place of inversion.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: I feel I have no contact with it.
M. Laitman: Correct.
Student: That's what I'm asking about.
M. Laitman: Yes?
Student: Where do you draw that inversion point from? Where is it?
M. Laitman: The inversion point, I think, is drawn from the restriction.
Student: So first, we need to want to restrict something that exists in us.
M. Laitman: Yes, the will to receive.
Student: But this will to receive is also concealed. How do I know what exactly to restrict?
M. Laitman: But I want to restrict it.
Student: I want to in concealment.
M. Laitman: This is not talking about a restriction in your will to receive.
Student: That's the question. How to reach that point of restriction. What are we lacking for that, actually? To reach that point of restriction.
M. Laitman: You want to reach that point of restriction because... Let's put it this way. From the side of reception, you can... From the side of reception, you can ask for something that doesn't belong to the restriction.
Student: Again, please.
M. Laitman: You can ask to be in a state in which you don't demand the darkness.
Student: We need to enter faith above reason.
M. Laitman: Oh, he's starting.
Student: You know what? Even that is a place that is a bit more clear. We have to enter some kind of darkness with a desire for the Creator. Is that right, to look at it this way? To be drawn to this?
M. Laitman: Yes. Yes, let's say.
Student: I'm still searching for how to be drawn to that. To that point of change.
M. Laitman: How are you saying?
Student: I'm searching for a way to be drawn. How to be drawn to grasp that inversion point. I feel that it doesn't exist in me. It exists, but it doesn't exist.
M. Laitman: What is it that doesn't exist?
Student: I don't feel I have the intensity to do this.
M. Laitman: I don't know how to answer you. But it's clear that if we will be able to be in the will to receive, we won't be able to bestow. We won't have equivalence of form. And if we will be in the will to receive and bestow above it, then it will be fine. That's why nothing remains from the state that we're talking about here. Only one thing remains missing, and that's that I want to define my state not by the work of the will to receive. No. But if so, for what? From that state that was now born in me, needs to be born in me, which is the desire to bestow.
Student: So, should we actually stand on this point without stopping?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Also during the day to be in scrutiny before the upper force.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Every time just stand on this point, not to let go.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Why is that important? Why is it important?
M. Laitman: Because then we will reach in order to bestow.
Student: We'll have that intensity as a result of this scrutiny by standing on this point? We'll have the needed intensity?
M. Laitman: Yes. Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (48:22) To the point of the restriction, what's its motive? Why?
M. Laitman: He doesn't want to receive because the Creator doesn't want to receive. So also the created being doesn't want to receive.
Student: So, what holds on to this point? What gives it the forces to exist?
M. Laitman: The upper light.
Student: How from the will to receive that is in an opposite nature of the upper light, how can it ask for something opposite? And it'll be in such an intensity that the Creator will be convinced.
M. Laitman: He doesn't want something against the Creator. He wants to be in a state like the nature that the created being will be similar to the Creator.
Student: There is something very special. The friends have a tendency. They're feeling it out, really.
M. Laitman: Yes. Is there something else to say? I'll give it to him.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:52) In happiness of the friend, or the friend's sorrow, that there can be above reason running from suffering, being drawn to pleasure. It's also questions of the will to receive. It becomes all very sharp to the point. Once, if a Ten meets, and we decide that, like in the Arvut article, that each one really cares. So that's the person that, whether I care about my friends more or about myself, and we see that there aren't any forces, only if you're really persistent, then you see very clear that you're opposite of the Creator. How do we create these conditions, the physical conditions that will really gather in the Ten and work on that point? Maybe from there we can jump to that point, whether we touch it or we don't touch it. How? I had another little thought.
M. Laitman: That's enough.
Question (Turkiye): (51:39) There's a need for a process for the prayer to be true. How do we know when exactly to pray?
M. Laitman: That, a person needs to feel in his heart.
Question (Turkiye): (52:00) When a person rises above nature and reaches the desire to bestow, he bestows everyone around him. Does that change only remain in his inner world, or does it go onward to the Ten, to humanity?
M. Laitman: It influences everyone.
Question (Rehovot): (52:26) Everything we went through here, how do we really break that iron wall between us? Between us and the Creator.
M. Laitman: We can't, for the time being, agree with the demand of the Creator to us.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:01) There's like a state that we don't see as much as we're slaves to our will to receive. That's why that cry out isn't there. We don't want to escape it.
M. Laitman:
Student: What should we locate in order to reach it? Should a person locate his thoughts, his desires? It's like a delicacy that from there, that thread of scrutiny can start. What we can't catch, what to focus on. The friend asked, how do I go out into the day and focus my thoughts on the Creator? Usually, if we see how enslaved we are to the will to receive, we can start wanting to come out of it. So, what should we focus on in order to reach, to feel that will to receive?
M. Laitman: I think that it's worthwhile for us to rise above the will to receive and…. and I don't even know what to continue. We talked about everything.
Student: What is He sending us that we have to search for? A thought, a desire, what to observe?
M. Laitman: The Creator is like a good teacher. He sends you exactly the things you need along the way. Meaning, if you feel that you have some question in the Ten, then you need to scrutinize this question and not run away from it.
Student: He's asking a question that I shouldn't miss out on.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: And it's always in relation to the Ten?
M. Laitman: Usually. I wrote before that as much as we want it, for sure it's not right, it's only in them. We have to reach a state that almost everyone wants it.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Can we explain this? How to reach a state that we all want it?
M. Laitman: By questions and answers we draw everyone to the discussion. And in this discussion we scrutinize where we are.
Student: When Rav says everybody is it the whole Ten? The whole world Kli.
M. Laitman: Then the majority.
Student: The intensity will come that it's a collection of all desires together.
M. Laitman: Yes, yes friend.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (56:45) Most of us are drawn to the wisdom of Kabbalah because we discover that the Creator wants to give us. As much as He wants to bestow to us, we discover His attitude towards us. And we're drawn to it because there's love He wants to give. What He doesn't give, and we understand that we need to develop, is that He will be important to us. It's like He doesn't give us His thought.
M. Laitman: That you need to demand.
Student: And I feel that that is the point of change we talked about, that it'll be important, that the glory of the heaven will be important. And that's why we work by that original inertia that is working in us. So how does our work as a society, as an environment, work on us? In order to change this nature, how do I use society correctly? I'm also continuing Gilad's question. How do we as a group, how can we bring this change in our will to receive that the Creator will be important to us?
M. Laitman: That is really the great flip, the great inversion we need to do. That we will make, not for our benefit, for our own sake, but rather for His sake. That's a problem. Yes.
Student: It grows in us. That's why we ask about it, we're interested about it. It's getting clarified in this lesson. But still, to be in Achishena, in hastening the times, we want to add into this inertia more of ourselves, to grab something. But we said it's very weak in us. Maybe the prayer should be that even though we're weak in bestowing, but let the Creator complete it for us, this desire, that it will be revealed in the world, that it will be good for everyone. But our weakness is like we need to work, but we're not the source of this abundance.
M. Laitman: We are, and we push ourselves to equivalence with the Creator, to help Him in bestowal.
Student: Okay, I think we did a lot of exertion to reach this point. So I'm very happy for us that we're reaching this feeling that it's important for us, that the Creator is important for us.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:12) To continue that point, we said that these are our final steps, that we're going without awareness, and it could be that the next steps will be with awareness. This is the awareness we want to reach, that we do everything for His sake?
M. Laitman: Is that a question?
Student: Yes.
M. Laitman: I can say?
Student: Because for the time being you're in a scrutiny. But what do we scrutinize except for wanting to reach the ability to bestow?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: We can't even recognize this necessity. Only part of it, and it's where you rise, you fall. What are those steps that will be with awareness? What does a person need to know?
M. Laitman: A person needs to know the extent in which he advances every moment towards the goal, towards the Creators. Which is to do good to his created being.
Student: That I'll be like him?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: That I'll be adhered to this thing of doing good to the created beings?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: So that's knowing the awareness, like to imagine the state that we want to go that way?
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: And what is different from what we're doing?
M. Laitman: Ask yourselves.
Student: I don't think that anybody here has a different goal.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:14) We all tried to do a scrutiny yesterday on what our desire, what our common prayer is. My question is, the scrutiny we did in the Ten was first very intellectual. We tried to scrutinize, to see what's important. How do we, after we scrutinize this, let's say we'll continue it today, how do we reach something more emotional? Like the friends here were talking about that cry. How do we reach such a resonance that together we can reach a plea from our common heart? Do you have this transition from mind to feeling? How does it happen?
M. Laitman: The move from mind to feeling needs to be by the upper light. Which impacts our desire to receive and moves it to a degree that's closer to the Creator.
Student: You said to the friend, and the friend also repeated it, that if there are a few that feel that they're ready and they jump, they're mistaken because we need as much as possible together to be represented that way.
M. Laitman: But not that we remain together mostly, and about advancement we have no question.
Student: Yes, so the together of advancing is what eventually creates this mass that creates that resonance that it echoes in the whole kli?
M. Laitman: Let's say.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:19) After all the friends questions, and in order to really be many friends, like you said, most of them need to be in that trend. I feel like that's where the force will come from. The power that's necessary for us.
M. Laitman: Yes.
Student: Is the engagement in the topic, like Arvut right now, can that draw the whole society upwards? To make us more powerful, more kind of for us to want to do this operation? You want to do this like that? For it to happen on us.
M. Laitman: Oh please, do it. Do it.
Student: Is it right to engage in the article of the Arvut now, or just to keep going the way we're working, and keep going?
M. Laitman: You could find such a thing in all the articles, somewhat. A sentence, two sentences. That's all. That's it. Good.
Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:05:46) Rav, to conclude, after the very long session, what kind of frustration do you have? Well, to end, at the end of the lesson, the friends have such a yearning. We say that even a group of criminals can force the Creator to do something. And a society so great like we have here in the world, how do we force the Creator?
M. Laitman: We're talking about this already for an hour and four minutes. So what else do you want me to do?
Student: We force the Creator to give us the feeling of love and bestow, that it will happen.
M. Laitman: For Him to give us?
Student: Yes, only He can give it to us. We have to force Him to give it to us.
M. Laitman: Ask.
Student: I think we asked.
M. Laitman: All the books are here before you. Thank you. All right. Well, we'll move to the next lesson.
Reader: So let's go to a lesson summary in the Ten . Let's summarize the main thing we heard.
