Part 3: Baal HaSulam, Equal As One. There is No Strong Friend, There is a Strong Society.
Reader: (0:07) We are reading from Equal As One. There's No Strong Friend, There is a Strong Society. We'll read selected excerpts from the sources. We're starting from excerpt number 7. Baal HaSulam, The Wisdom of Kabbalah and Philosophy.
Reading: (00:18) Baal HaSulam, “The Wisdom of Kabbalah and Philosophy”
The law of love does not apply between great and small, as two real lovers must feel equal.
Reader: Again, #7. Baal HaSulam, “The Wisdom of Kabbalah and Philosophy”
The law of love does not apply between great and small, as two real lovers must feel equal.
Reader: (01:18) #8 RABASH, Article No. 7 (1984), According to What Is Explained Concerning “Love Thy Friend as Thyself”
If everyone is nullified before his friend and mingles with him, they become one mass where all the little parts that want the love of others unite in a collective force that consists of many parts. And when one has great strength, he can execute the love of others.
And then he can achieve the love of God.

Reader: (02:35) #9 Baal HaSulam, "Introduction to The Book of Zohar", Item 68
The general and the particular are equal as two peas in a pod. Hence, all that applies to the general applies also to the particular. Moreover, the parts make what is found in the whole, for the general can appear only after the appearance of the parts in it, and according to the quantity and quality of the parts. Evidently, the value of an act of an individual elevates or declines the entire collective.

Reader: (04:08) #10. Likutey Halachot [Assorted Rules], “Blessings on Seeing and Personal Blessings,” Rule No. 4

Reader: (04:57) #11 Avodat Israel [The Work of Israel], Portion Shlach
The righteous serves his Creator in a different style, they all aim at the same thing—their father in Heaven. They gather and assemble one by one, as one man with one heart, and each one diminishes himself and glorifies the work for the sake of the Creator, who gives him the strength and intelligence by which to serve Him. Hence, one will not be arrogant toward his friend, and they are in the world of straightness and unite with one another.

Ohev Ysrael, Likutei Masachtot
The Creator is destined to pardon the righteous, and He sits among them. Machol [pardon/dancing in a circle] is in a circle, meaning that everyone will stand in a circle and the Creator is as the middle point of the circle. And each one points with his finger, “This is our God,” meaning that each one will have great attainment equally from the upper Hesed [mercy].

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:23) Okay, today we actually finished the topic of Equal As One: There's No There's A Person, There's A Strong Group. And as we go week after week, today we're going to about a Ten, being an environment for development for everyone. As we enter a new week as far as our weekly topic, let's summarize now in the Ten, what we received from this week, all the scrutinies we've been through on the topic of equality. So, let's talk about the central process, manners, and all the things that we heard from Rav, as equals to one, there's no strong man, there's a strong environment and group. So please, summarize.
