Part 3: Conversation with Rav 03/21/2026

Reader: Friends, now we will hear a talk with Rav titled, "The World Stands on One Righteous," it's from March 21st, 2026, and then we will summarize the main points in the workshop.

M. Laitman (Source Text/Commentary):  "The world stands on one righteous," meaning that when the light that he received is by way of one candle to a hundred candles, therefore one who loses his spirit by judging to the scale of demerit, then he loses an entire world, meaning that the light that was sufficient for the entire world, he prevented that light from being revealed. And this is a matter of, "one must say, the world was created for me." Any questions? 

Student: What does it mean that the world was created for me? 

M. Laitman: When you read, you see that it's written there about the goal. What does it mean "the world was created for me?” That essentially, not directly for me, but if he now attains that the entire world was created for him, and he relates to it that way, then the entire world was created for him. 

Student: What does it say that the world stands on one righteous? 

M. Laitman: First of all, that's what's written. 

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: So we understand it's in the sources. "The world stands on one righteous," meaning that the world cannot stand on anyone, except if a person wants to be as written here, and he says, this is sufficient for me - then the world stands for him. 

Student: But why one righteous and not ten righteous? 

M. Laitman: No, no, no, we don't need to... No. 

Student: Because it sounds like, for the Creator, one righteous is enough to pass on all the light to the world, and he doesn't need the rest.

M. Laitman: No, no, I don't think so. "The world stands on one righteous," meaning that for the world one righteous is sufficient, and if a person accepts that and wants to hold on to that, then he can say that the world stands on one righteous." 

Student: In other words, each one should say, I am that one righteous? 

M. Laitman: No, not me. Anyone who thinks that he could be the same foundation on which the Creator places the world.

Student: At any moment, is there one righteous in the generation? 

M. Laitman: No. 

Student: He writes here, "the world stands on one righteous," meaning that the light that he drew is as in a candle for one - a candle for a hundred, therefore, one who loses his soul by sentencing to the side of fault, of sin, loses the whole world, meaning that the light that was enough for the whole world, he prevented that light from being revealed. What does it mean? What is he trying to say? 

M. Laitman: He wants to say that a person who sees that all his friends are ready to sacrifice themselves to being righteous, then it is sufficient for the world to stand on each one. 

Student: What does it mean to be righteous?

M. Laitman: To be righteous means to justify the Creator who orchestrated the world this way, that each one lives for the sake of the other. 

Student: By a person justifying the Creator about all of reality that is revealed, does he stream the light to the whole world by this? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: And is this something that many people can do simultaneously, or will there always be only one righteous who does it? 

M. Laitman: No, no, typically this is said about all. But it's good if a person thinks about that, if a person thinks that way. 

Student: So why does Rabash emphasize specifically that the world stands on one righteous? Why that emphasis specifically? 

M. Laitman: Because the world doesn't need more than one righteous. 

Student: Why are so many friends trying, exerting — it's enough to have one righteous, let's exalt him, extol him, that's enough for the world, if it's written, and it's accurate.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: So why do we need so many? What's the point? What's the benefit? 

M. Laitman: The benefit is that all people are willing to be together as one, so that they all connect together, and then the world will stand on their foundation. 

Student: To be built as a righteous, a person needs a Ten.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: In other words, it can be said that the Ten is like a greenhouse for building righteous, it's like a platform that builds righteous? 

M. Laitman: That's the purpose of the Ten.

Student: That's the purpose of the Ten, to build from every individual the righteous, the Kabbalist in him? 

M. Laitman: Let's say. Yes.

Student: How does it do it? How does the Ten build from the friends righteous people? 

M. Laitman: The Ten needs to give each and every one an opportunity to be in the society, to be a righteous in the society.

Student: And how is it expressed? That the Ten gives the friend an opportunity to be righteous in the society. How is it expressed? 

M. Laitman: That this is what everyone thinks about everyone. From the Ten.

Student: In other words, we are thinking about each one, that each of us is the righteous in the society? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: But elsewhere he writes it, a righteous is one who justifies the Creator. 

M. Laitman: That's another interpretation. That's different. Another interpretation. 

Student: When we think about each other, that we want each one to be the righteous in the society, so what should each one do besides thinking about the other? How does he actually become the righteous in practice? 

M. Laitman: If I hold everyone in our society as righteous, and I wish to adhere to him, and also to the second and the third and so forth, then it turns out that I disappear for them.

Student: He says that one who loses his soul by sentencing to the side of sin. And if he loses his soul by sentencing to the side of merit? 

M. Laitman: That's probably even more, but he doesn't say that. 

Student: If it's the other way around, then he gains his whole world — but does he lose his whole world by that? 

M. Laitman: Could be.

Student: He gains his whole world. And does it take more than this power of unity, connection, union of the hearts in order to reach the degree of one righteous? 

M. Laitman: Yes. From here it follows that this is the literal meaning. 

Student: And it all depends on the connection between us? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: So the work of each friend is to see his friends as righteous, to justify them, to see them as righteous? 

M. Laitman: Of course, yes.

Student: And so if he sees them as righteous, what does he do? Does he tell himself that they're righteous? 

M. Laitman: He doesn't tell that to himself, he organizes himself in a way that he sees them as righteous, and he's with them together, and he holds himself as being less than everyone. And then in such a way, when he is with them together, then bit by bit he feels himself being in a society where everyone is righteous.

Student: Are they truly righteous? 

M. Laitman: No, it doesn't matter. That's the condition. 

Student: And if I don't see that they are righteous, I see opposite examples. He is not righteous in my eyes. I look at a friend, and I don't see him as being righteous. 

M. Laitman: Ask the Creator to show you that you are among the righteous.

Student: When a person is in such a perception of reality, or in a state where he is sitting among righteous — now I'm sitting among righteous, that's reality — then what happens? What should change? What should a person get from it? Where does it take him? 

M. Laitman: He is then considered to have arranged himself to correct himself towards the group.

Student: The calculation is not whether a friend is righteous or not. It's how I see the friend as righteous. 

M. Laitman: Yes, of course.

Student: And then a person becomes a pipeline between the Creator and the friends? Then when a person establishes that the friends are righteous, does he become a pipeline between the Creator and the friends? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: And is that the whole purpose of life? 

Student: If the friends are righteous, what do they need from me? 

M. Laitman: If the friends are righteous? 

Student: Yes. 

M. Laitman: So what does he want from them? 

Student: What can I add to them? They are righteous.

M. Laitman: No. He invests himself towards them, and he feels himself as if being in the  circle of the righteous. And more than that, he doesn't need to feel. 

Student: So if a person is in a circle of righteous, he receives from it, but what can he give to the righteous around him? They are righteous, they are perfect. What are they lacking that I can give them? 

M. Laitman: How does he accept it? 

Student: How I accept them? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does that give them? Or maybe it shouldn't give them anything, it gives only to me. 

M. Laitman: To you it gives, first of all, the feeling of the righteous. That's it.

Student: In a circle of righteous, L'chaim. 

M. Laitman: May there be more so. One has nothing to give the Creator, as written, "if you were righteous, what shall you give Him?" Meaning that a person can only give the Creator the aspect of intention alone, which is called for His sake. And more than that, he has nothing to give, because the Creator does not have a deficiency, so as to be given something. And all that is given is the intention alone.
