Part 3: Soul Devotion - Selected Excerpts

Reader: We are in a lesson on the topic of “Soul devotion.” We’ll read selected excerpts from the sources, continuing from excerpt number 6. You can find the study material on kabbalahgroup.info and in the Arvut system, and you can also send questions through these websites. Again, excerpts on “Soul devotion,” continuing from item number six.

Reading: (00:33) 6. RABASH, Letter No. 65

A person must decide that he wants the Creator to give him a desire to completely annul before Him, meaning not leave any desire under his own authority, but that all the desires in him will be only to give glory to the Creator.

Once he decides on complete annulment, he asks the Creator to help him execute it. This means that although in the mind and the desire he sees that the body disagrees with him annulling all his desires before the Creator instead of for his own sake, he should pray to the Creator to help him want to annul before Him with all the desires, leaving no desire for himself. This is called a “complete prayer,” meaning that he wishes that the Creator will give him a complete desire without any compromises to himself, and he asks of the Creator to help him always be with his righteousness.

M. Laitman: That's the first excerpt that we need to go over today. Any questions?

Question (Kyiv 1): (02:46) What does it mean not to leave to oneself any desire? The Kabbalist has no other desires but adhesion with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes. What's the question here? A person who lives in such a way where he's disconnected from the Creator, disconnected from his spiritual place, is that a situation that satisfies him? Does he regard the whole reality in a proper way like that? Or is he between all the different forces, negative, positive, that operate upon him, and he himself feels that he doesn't understand anything, he's powerless as he stands opposite the Creator? And what does he have then with respect to the Creator and his situation? And so, by what can he reach balance, to equalize himself?

Question (Turkiye 1): (04:24) What is the relationship between a person coming to a complete annulment and the Ten that comes to a complete annulment?

M. Laitman: A person has a desire he was born with, and if he changes, he changes only within his desire. Whereas one who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah, and the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, he wishes to balance himself such that he will not need to reincarnate, to make any changes which were not given to him by birth. So, there are many people in the world who feel some kind of difficulty in feeling the world, feeling their lives as something comfortable. Their lack constantly presses against them, and so they feel that from this unpleasant, negative, bad situation, they can actually receive an invitation to come closer to the Creator, and to ask Him, why is this so? Why is this so for me, for us, for me? And so, to continue developing.

Question (Unity 2): (07:43) And the question is, in the excerpt, the prayer is revealed like a complete prayer. And accordingly, when we ask for the Creator, we annul before Him, we grow Him between us. That is our connection with Him, our speech to Him. Is this how you're supposed to reach the prayer, with such an intention, that I relate to the Upper One? This is all that's necessary for us, and He has all that we need, and He can necessarily help our friends. Is it such an open heart like that?

M. Laitman: Yes, you speak correctly, very true. Where are we?

Question (Holland): (08:52) I have a question about the decision-making process. Is there a point when this is final? Because when I'm a child, I can make a certain decision, but as a grown-up, I could say this decision was probably not the best. So, is this a decision process, is this something continuous, and how does it work?

M. Laitman: It's something that extends greatly. But every time that you ask for a new state, a new clarification, new scrutiny, you also see your destination every time. And that helps you update your requests so they are more advanced.

Question (Latin 7): (10:25) You said that there are people who constantly feel this internal disagreement. How to reconcile this with the gratitude for the Ten, Rav, the Kli, the sources?

M. Laitman: I didn't quite understand the question. Please repeat to them here. How to combine? Repeat the question, please.

Student: You said that there are people who have an internal disagreement about their state and the state of the world. How to reconcile that with the great gratitude for the Ten, for the wisdom of Kabbalah, for Rav, for the Kli?

M. Laitman: I think that coming closer to the Creator and feeling Him, where I am in Him are in one system of connection and communication, that will answer pretty much every question that can arise. The Creator always wants to hear from us what it is that we are lacking, that we want in order to reach the highest point, the smallest point. Meaning that we will have only the desire to attain that point, that dot. And when that point is attained, and we know by our senses that his is the end of the road, there's nowhere else to advance to. We've come to the end of all corrections.

Question (Holland): (13:13) It says in the article, let's say, to come to this complete prayer, to ask the Creator to help him always be with his righteousness. What does it mean, this to being with his righteousness?

M. Laitman: The upper righteousness, meaning that the Creator is always right and is always in a state where He Himself builds the vessel, and the state of the vessel, the qualities of the vessel, everything depends on Him. If it appears differently to a person, it's a sign that he hasn't scrutinized everything yet.

Student: What does this have to do, with this state, with devotion?

M. Laitman: Righteousness can only be to the same extent as the devotion. So, when do they develop? When righteousness brings a person to complete and utter devotion.

Question (KabU 12): (15:37) What are we missing as a collective Kli to get to this singular desire of only wanting the Creator? What are we missing?

M. Laitman: Only for you all to connect together. Everyone has their own thoughts, desires, decisions. Each one is in a certain kind of deviation from the other. So, you have a very big circle with many different points where each person is a different point, a different dot within that circle. But what you now all need is to try to bring this circle that you're all within, to bring everything to the middle point of it, and then you will attain everything.

Question (PT 31): (17:21) Between our state now to the state where I have no desire for myself, there's a process I have to go through. The question is, what is your advice for this transition point? How to deal correctly with desires for myself that I still can't connect them to the Creator?

M. Laitman: I think in the upcoming days we will go through this whole thing, and from there, you yourself will see how we change ourselves by the prayer, the appeal to the Creator. And the Creator will arrange us such that we will feel by this that there's no more disturbances but rather only the Creator, who is willing to receive the request to unite and feel the unification.

Student: In addition to prayer, are the efforts to come closer between us in the Ten, can that also help?

M. Laitman: Of course, yes. Certainly so.

Question (German): (19:20) What is the sign that my prayer is truly complete? That I no longer want anything for myself, but all my desire is directed toward bestowal?

M. Laitman: That is only according to the response, the answer of the Creator to what we ask. We make the efforts to connect and come close between us and Him, and that is what needs to happen to us. And then we will really feel that we are in the direction from our shattered state to His complete state.

Student: How can I sense within myself that I have shifted from unconsciousness, self-interest, to complete annulment of my will?

M. Laitman: In the way that we learn, where you come to a state where you feel yourself included within one question, and then you discover that the Creator expects our connection, that we will find the endless whole vessel, and the sign that we are all connected together. And in our connection, we build the desire, which includes all the desires together. And no desire cancels the other but rather all the desires just add to one another until one desire becomes of it.

Student: What is the remedy for this deep inner tendency not to want to be obligated?

M. Laitman: That is not important. That is not important. It is not demanded of him now. Not for him. It is not demanded.

Question (Woman Ukraine 2): (23:05) What can help a person to reach complete annulment before the Creator? What effort should they do?

M. Laitman: What efforts are necessary when a person sees all her qualities repel him from a connection from the Creator, and then a desire appears in him to disconnect from those forces that influence him and create this state in him. And in such a state, while he's disconnecting from the Creator, he acquires a form. It's a necessary thing here, because prior to that, beforehand, he had states in which… states in which it appears to him as if he was winning, but it was actually just a distancing, and he felt himself just pleasant in that state.

Question (Woman Spain 1): (25:08) How can we know if our prayer to annul our desires before the Creator is really a complete prayer, and isn't mixed with a hidden intention to receive something for ourselves?

M. Laitman: We can't see that. We can't take a complete, a whole thing, and some temporary thing for now, and make a comparison between them in order to receive the difference between the correction and the current one. Also, the current state we feel it's either as we're incapable of tolerating it, or we rise above it, and then feel it as the true state.

Question (Unity 4): (26:52) It's written that a person has to decide for himself. If everything comes from the Creator, how can a person take a decision on his own?

M. Laitman: From the Creator, incompletion arrives all the time imperfections that need to help a person, but rather the contrary. What appears is more and more forces that show a person how incomplete he is. And when he shows this imperfection, feels this imperfection, it obligates him to demand perfection.

Question (Woman Turkiye 8): (28:02) I heard that a person needs to aspire to constantly be in inner balance. So, how can I restrict all my desires and aim them towards the Creator in order to reach that balance?

M. Laitman: We need to learn in the Ten and to join the Ten in all those actions where you don't feel something in it, but we nevertheless try to reach a connection between us as much as possible until we start to feel that there is between us, here and there, such qualities that seemingly distance between us from one another. But by us wanting to connect them together in one circle, one system in completion, then they see that this is not so important that we feel ourselves not together in one point. And then we will reach being as one man in one heart.

Question (Woman Turkiye): (30:17) What is the role of the group, the Ten, in our ability to discern between a desire to the light and reach that balance?

M. Laitman: Again.

Student: What is the purpose of the group in our ability to discern between light and vessel and reaching balance?

M. Laitman: The group needs to perceive its actions, which the Creator invites by showing disconnection so the group needs to see and feel where it is, that the Creator is leading them from the other side, but the feeling that they cannot be an Adam and the Creator together, that they cannot happen that way. And then when a person feels that that is what he specifically wants, where he is contradicted to the Creator, where he is opposite the Creator, and then when he tries to discover this, then he says this is the help that he received from the heavens.

Question (ITA 1): (32:47) What is this state? In annulment I'm not able to, I fail, even though there is a prayer. What is that state?

M. Laitman: Yes, really here for the first time we see how opposite we are from the Creator in that state between us. As much as we're not capable of trying to be in the same language like the Creator. And that's it, we'll see. I don't remember what you asked, precisely, but it seems like there was some other point.

Student: He's saying that he isn't able to annul, and he feels that he's a failure in it. Even though he prays, he can't succeed. So, he's asking, what is this special state?

M. Laitman: That he can't truly discover his point of deficiency. Where he wants so badly for it to awaken in him, and still he doesn't feel like he's coming close to it.

Question (Woman Heb 1): (34:31) How can a Ten reach one whole prayer to the Creator? What feeling needs to develop between the friends to be able to reach that one prayer?

M. Laitman: Through the exercises.

Student: But what feeling has to come? What should we feel and attempt to be able to do it?

M. Laitman: That we're missing one thing, all of us.

Student: And how to reach that? What's a good exercise?

M. Laitman: That's already another question. How do we get there so that all our deficiencies will appear to us all as one deficiency.

Student: Only our spiritual deficiency, right? The rest isn't as interesting.

M. Laitman: Yes. About the rest of the deficiencies we don't even talk about. They're not called deficiencies.

Student: So, to speak about a spiritual deficiency in the Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes, think and see whether you can connect between you in the Ten with a spiritual deficiency.

Question (Hungarian-Polish): (36:15) How to grasp the total devotion where one disappears and does not exist anymore?

M. Laitman: For the time being do what you have. What you must do today in order to reach the high deficiency that you talk about tomorrow.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:01) He says in the beginning of the paragraph that a person must decide that he wants the Creator to give him a desire to completely annul before him.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And what is this decision different than any other decision in life?

M. Laitman: A person really…it's written, a person wants to be annulled with all his qualities, with all his prayers, with all that he has. Towards the Creator he wants to be as annulled. And then when he gets that, he begins to feel how the Creator is being revealed before him. How the Creator pressures him. How the Creator changes him so he will appear like an embryo in its mother's womb. Where the embryo has no vessel. It doesn't seemingly exist. And his mother is the one that arranges everything for him. That's why that's what we are capable of depicting. Try from that state, from that relation between the Creator and the created being to build the connection. What else does the person need to receive? How does he need to turn to the Creator in order to ask for this? How will the Creator receive him? And then, through these efforts, you will feel that you are coming closer and closer to the Creator. But with that, you are coming close in an opposite manner. Where you want to be incorporated with the Creator. And the Creator wants to be thus incorporated as much as possible in all the created beings.

Student: So, that point of decision, when a person has to make a decision for the sake of the Creator and not for himself?

M. Laitman: Could be, but it's not immediate.

Student: I'm asking because otherwise, every decision in life, a person takes all the forces working on him and asks himself, how can I bring myself to a better state? This is every decision. But here he says he has to make a decision that he's asking to annul.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: So, what will bring him to a state where he truly wants to annul himself?

M. Laitman: Him seeing that he doesn't feel correctly or understand the whole of creation and how he is in it and is canceled completely towards this creation. There are many questions, let's ask more.

Student: So, who does he want this annulment for? That's the question.

M. Laitman: That's for the benefit of the Creator, that it will be revealed to everyone that he's a good Creator that cares for everyone.

Reader: There's another question here, Rav, can we?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:06) When is it right to yearn for wholeness? And when should we be happy and sufficient with the bit I already have?

M. Laitman: I didn't hear the end of the question.

Student: When to yearn for wholeness, and when should it be sufficient and be happy from that little bit I already have?

M. Laitman: Good question. First of all, to be in a constant state of wholeness, and joy, and gratitude to the Creator for creating me this way and giving me such. And also, now draws me on the path towards Him, that's the thanks for the current times.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (43:26) How can it be that a person has a complete desire to annul before the Creator and the body won't agree? Shouldn't there be an agreement between the body and the person?

M. Laitman: No. Actually, from the disagreement that we have it opens for us as the field of work.

Student: The lack of agreement won't let a person reach a complete desire. There's a contradiction between the body and the desire. So, you can never reach a whole, complete desire.

M. Laitman: That's right, but nevertheless a person makes efforts to identify, connect, incorporate from that desire. And that way he gradually changes.

Student: In our requests for annulment?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: we need to reach a state that the body will be drawn to this annulment, that it will also want it?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course.

Student: So we have to ask for that too, that the resistance will...

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Asia): (45:25) What difference does there exist between the mind, the spiritual, and our egoistic nature? And how can we overcome the existence of the latter? What's the difference between the mind and spiritual desire to our egoistic nature? And how can we overcome the resistance of that egoistic nature?

M. Laitman: The egoistic nature always makes calculations how by this egoistic nature a person can rise before everyone, above everyone, and to perform what's revealed to him right now in his head. How to be alone, higher than everyone. And that's it. Continue asking.

Question (Woman MAK): (46:55) How to reach a complete prayer that gives force of life?

M. Laitman: Only in such a way. We didn't actually reach the questions, the precise questions. We need now to scrutinize the field where we need to see ourselves in connection with everyone, each before everyone. And then it'll be easier for us to think that what we do is for the benefit of everyone.

Question (Bulgaria 1): (48:05) The Creator shows us that we are separated, but if we work as one man, and make efforts, and pray as one man with one heart, then we will feel that we are constantly in that same holy field that the Creator has blessed.

M. Laitman: I didn't understand. I did not understand.

Student: The Creator is showing us that we are separated.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But if we invest efforts and pray and will be as one man with one heart, can we feel then that we are always in that holy field?

M. Laitman: Yes. Yes.

Question (Bulgaria 1): (49:12) We have been praying for more than two years every day, and we see only the opposite comes out of it. Greater separation between us and connection. Why is it like that? Why is it working that way?

M. Laitman: Because you need to scrutinize very clearly that you have nothing besides the connection between you. And when you feel that, then it will appear before you, according to your future state, everyone will connect with everyone without any conditions. That's what you need to do.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (50:25) How can we help each other in the Ten to feel that we and the Creator are one system?

M. Laitman: You have to feel that that's the way it is.

Student: Question. But if we feel opposite every time, how can we really feel that we're together with the Creator?

M. Laitman: It's like light and darkness, that you are close even though you are opposite.

Student: So how in this state can we reach a deeper, more true prayer, and truly feel the Creator's feeling, His help? Because only when He answers we know if we asked correctly. So how can we truly, every time, come with a more precise prayer to get a better answer from the Creator and the connection between us?

M. Laitman: I think that only by seeing how we can't connect into one with our own forces, from that feeling, from that feeling, we can connect and cause all the forces that are working on us to connect without demanding anything for ourselves. But that connection between all the shattered forces is what we'll get as a reward.

Student: Last question. So how to reach this common feeling? Because we feel that the common feeling is what helps us come to that precise place.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do we help each other reach that common feeling that that is really what we're lacking? We say connection, connection, but we want to reach one common deficiency that will truly feel that we're all as one?

M. Laitman: That's already a common deficiency where you will want the connection. So with that request, you two, all of you together, and also the lack of connection that's now between everyone, and also the purpose, the goal, the connection itself that you're about to achieve, it is all in the whole of your Kli.

Student: So, just to keep giving that common effort.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: Maybe we can keep reading, Rav.

M. Laitman: Here?

Reader: No, we're done. There's another excerpt there.

M. Laitman: There are more excerpts, there are many others. It's clear. Which number?

Reader: Seven.

M. Laitman: (54:59) Seven? Although one can work devotedly, he's unable to determine if this devoted work is appropriate or not, that this hard work would be against his teacher's view and the view of the Creator. To determine, one chooses that which adds labor. This means that one should act according to one's teacher, and only labor is for a man to do, and nothing else. Hence, there is no place for doubt in one's actions, and thoughts, and words. Instead, he should always increase labor. Meaning despite how much I rise, it seems that the path is more difficult, and I can, as it is written here, give this difficulty the correct placement, where specifically by it, I pray to the Creator.

Question (Unity 2): (56:57) It turns out that in the prayer to the Creator, we need to turn to Him not with an intention to receive anything, but with an intention to have an opportunity to bestow to Him. And that's what will give Him pleasure. And in that point, the Ten has to connect to have an ability to bestow to the Creator, and with that intention, ask from Him.

M. Laitman: Perhaps you are right, although I do not quite understand how it is possible.

Student: If a Ten is in one desire to give contentment to the Creator and is asking for Him, not for themselves, with an intention to give the Creator an opportunity to bestow, because that's His nature. The Creator wants to bestow, and we, with our plea, with our prayer, we let Him do it, meaning we're giving Him this ability to bestow to the created beings.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And with such an intention, we raise every prayer?

Question (Woman Moscow 6): (58:49) Why can work contradict the teacher and the Creator, and how to go in agreement with the Creator and not contradict? How to go to the agreement,

M. Laitman: That’s if we will be corrected, we'll perform the correct actions and then see it. How can you be in agreement with the Creator and not operate against Him? And until then, we will always feel that we want to come closer to the Creator, that we want to be like Him, but we have all kinds of contradictions that point out our correct coming closer to the Creator.

Question (German): (59:42) You said in the last morning lesson, I quote, “Or even to be higher than this connection in order not to be obligated or guilty.” What does it mean to be higher than the connection, in order not to be obligated or guilty?

M. Laitman: Give us an example.

Student: In the last morning lesson, Rav, you said, in the last morning lesson, Or even to be higher than this connection in order to be not obligated or guilty. And then you say, we talk about tomorrow. And I was, so that's what you said, you say, what does it mean? It's my question, to be higher than the connection in order to be obligated or guilty. In short, he is trying to ask about something that was in the previous lesson, that Rav said that we will learn in the next lesson, about the fact that a person needs to be higher than the connection, and that this is something that will be learned in the future. So he asks, what does it mean to be higher than the connection in order not to feel guilty? In order not to feel obligated.

M. Laitman: A person wants to feel himself in connection, to feel himself in prayer, to feel how through the prayer he changes his relations with all that is in the connection. And after he does this, he also wants to feel the result as the connection of all the details of all the individuals of creation connecting together. And he merits feeling, existing in the connection of everyone.

Question (Almaty): (01:02:28) I got confused. It turns out that our connection in the Ten is a result and a reward that we're getting, meaning it's reception for ourselves. On the other hand, our ability to serve the Creator, that's the reward. So it turns out that we lose that feeling, focus on devotion. You're on the path, you connect, you come to conventions, everything's great, but that's on the path. How not to lose the concentration, the focus on the purpose of creation, to feel that focus, the need for the connection, and not to just be on the path. The friends from Unity 2 started asking that, but I got confused.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If I understood, if we'll be on the path, meaning in the process of connection, with the purpose to connect to such a way that we'll give each other the opportunity to be still contentment, that's right?

M. Laitman: Right, right. It's all right. Let's leave all the rest for tomorrow, and hope that it will be clarified for us more. So, Shalom to, everyone.

Reader: Thank you, Rav. Let's go to a summary of the lesson in the Ten. Summary in the Ten.
