Part 3:

Working in Mutual Responsibility - Selected Excerpts from the sources. #6

RABASH, Letter 24 (00:25 - 01:37) “You must always stand guard, all day and all night …”

1. R. (01:42) This means that we have to try to show to the friends, to each and every friend how much we love him and likewise, between all of the friends; and in this way we will be rewarded with the right connection and the Creator will reveal to us His love within our love for the friends, clear?

2. S. (02:23) In what is equality in the ten expressed?

R. Again?

S. How is equality expressed in the ten?

R. Equality?

S. Yes.

R. Equality in the ten is expressed by all of us being in a pursuit, in the chase of the quality of love between everyone.

S. We’re all different, there are friends that are more dominant.

R. No, no, that is not how we check, we also don't check according to how much each one is born with specific qualities because that is how he is born, that is from birth. What is important for us is how much each one invests, exerts, because by this we have the tendency, a similar tendency, to each other.

S. That is it, we all have different qualities?

R. So I told you it is not a question of characteristics, of qualities: if I was born weak, selfish, and you are born smart and strong, so it is easier for you to reach out to everyone, manipulate everyone, and do everything, and I can barely survive in the group. Do you understand, it all depends on the relative labor.

S. We are speaking about mutual guarantee, about equality, equivalence of form, so it’s all right?

R. It is all correct, we just have to connect it all and reach equivalence.

3. S. (04:50) In the excerpt that says that “we have to ignite the flame until it rises by itself”, what does it mean “rise by itself”?

R. This is what we need to attain, when the Creator operates in this together with us, then this torch, this fire, will continue to burn by itself.

4. S. (05:45) How to develop a heartful relationship towards the friend?

R. Think more and more that without him you do not achieve the purpose of creation.

S. No translation

R. It depends on how much attention you dedicate to it, how much to what extent the two of you connect between you in order to create one whole.

5. S. (06:48) It is written to “stand guard all day and all night”.

R. Yes?

S. What does it mean to stand guard, how do you do that?

R. It means ‘standing guard’ that your friend does not fall but is constantly elated, uplifted, together with you.

S. Doesn't it mean what not to do first?

R. I don't know what you are saying.

S. So to watch over the friend, that is what it means?

R. Yes, yes.

6. S. (07:28) What does it contribute to be sensitive to the mutual responsibility with respect to the friend, how does it contribute to the mutual responsibility between us to be sensitive to the friend?

R. When you connect with each other you are incorporated in one another and then you have common qualities.

S. But for us to have a heartful connection between us, what does it help because the Arvut that I'm guaranteed to the friend that he is not lacking anything?

R. Yes.

S. So if I do it with feeling and emotion, what does it help?

R. Emotion, the feeling, is the main thing, everything we have is feelings, what other forces do we have that we attribute to the soul, only the feeling. The intellect is only in order to organize our emotions but the emotions are rather the main vessel that we, the primary part of the Kli.

S. So what is the difference if the Arvut has one degree of emotion or another degree of emotion, an extra degree, more heartful, more heart full relationship between us?

R. So there's more of a possibility to come closer to the Creator.

7. S. (09:15) I feel that in the ten we need to build a level of trust, and there's a question: How can I say that this friend that I want to give them all of myself is truly a friend that is going to be with me all the way, that he is loyal and how can I say it on myself because they say “not to believe in yourself until the day you die”.

R. You are going together with a group and with the Creator and whatever happens, happens. You are giving yourself up to the Creator, if someone placed you in a certain ten, put you closer to some friend, accordingly you follow.

S. We see a lot of examples about friends who fall off the path.

R. I hope that they are not examples for you.

S. It is not, the question is how do I know that the friend that I'm now walking with is someone I can truly open myself to?

R. Open yourself up as long as he is with you, afterwards what the Creator does with you guys, you will see.

S. If I open myself, that is a condition?

R. It is not a condition for anything, it is a sign for the Creator that you are ready for connection; first of all you are bestowing upon the Creator, first and foremost.

S. Without expecting anything?

R. You can pray but by that you are not actually bestowing in advance, come closer, open yourself up, pray, try to bring him closer to your heart, and this is how it will happen.

S. It's like the bestowing to nothing, what am I expecting?

R. You are expecting your friend to reciprocate similarly, and that his response will be as the Creator’s answer, that it will be the Creator's doing.

S. If there is no response?

R. Then you need to exert more.

8. S. (12:21) We give a lot of examples in the work with a friends but practically we do not work with a friend because all of our meetings is a ten, we feel the whole ten, and with an individual friend there is almost like a disconnection. So should we also scrutinize the feelings of what a friend is going through individually or is it enough?

R. No, we don't need to poke that much, we are not psychologists.

S. To accept every friend in like a view of the whole ten?

R. Yes.

9. S. (13:32) I tried many times during the day to think of the friends according to your advice and I find myself that I do not really have anything to think about. I remember their names, I ask the Creator for them to be connected, but how to make it interesting or something, that it develops because it kind of turns off every time?

R. Keep going, keep going.

S. I don't really know in what?

R. Open your heart to them, that’s it.

10. S. (14:29) We had a question in the top ten on how to properly support the fellows. Is it necessary to invest all efforts in strengthening their framework? Or do you also need to take care of the emotional states of the comrades every day?

R. We should turn to the connection with the friends, everyday, to turn to the connection with the friends, everyday. Rabash would say it is like a baby that you have to feed all the time otherwise he will not grow, that’s it, so it is with love of friends.

S. You said earlier that you have to take care of their corporeality but day-to-day I see that I cannot affect their work or their feelings.

R. Yes?

S. So how to relate correctly to the corporeal’s influence on the connection between the friends?

R. You need to learn it from practice and then everything will be okay.

R. I just want to ask, raise your hands, who intends to come to the Turkey Congress? So another question: What are we going to do, what do you want us to study, what things will we do there?

S. For sure, we are lacking the principles of the work. If I'd be woken up in the middle of the night or if I awake in the friends, I will not say it, but that is, if someone asked me ‘what are the three principles of the work that are most important, about the topics we are studying, about your attitude towards your friends, about the books, so I am not prepared enough. So if I am somewhere in the middle, so we used to do it in the ten, a friend still has it, we have the most basic principles written down, maybe a small quote, something like that but internal. Just to see about the difficulty, for the friends to understand the depth, the height of the connection, and mutual actions, it is all about the principles of the work.

11. S. (19:29) About the Turkey Congress: I think ten years ago or something, we had a Congress there, you probably remember it, it was very different from any other Congress I was in specifically because of the place. I don't know exactly where it is going to be the style, it was in a very nice hotel, it was like a family gathering, that is what it felt like. The place really affected what was going on, you come out of the lesson, there is a pool and bikinis, and it was on like, I don't know, we should think about how it looks exactly.

R. Well, now it'll be January, there will not be a swimming pool and bikinis, but we will try to have it and to make it very joyous and nice and pleasant.

12. S. (20:41) After the opening of the heart, I think the topic of the Arvut is the most suitable.

R. Okay.
