Daily Morning Lesson: November 22, 2025

Part 1: Recorded lesson - Sep 12, 2020

Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”. #37

Reader: Hello friends. In the first part of the lesson, we’ll continue studying the lesson from September 12, 2020 on the topic of “Faith Above Reason,” and we will continue with Excerpt 37.

Reader: So, we are reading excerpts on the subject of work in “Faith Above Reason,” and we are in Excerpt 37, from Rabash’s article, “Jacob Dwelled in the Land Where His Father Had Lived.”

Reading: (00:41) 37. Rabash. Article 12 (1985), “Jacob Dwelled in the Land Where His Father Had Lived”

The evil inclination in his body has the power not to let him believe in the Creator above reason by taking out every flavor. Whenever he begins to approach something spiritual, he feels that everything is dry without any moisture of life.

When the person began his work, he was told—and he believed what he was told—that the Torah is a Torah of life, as it is written, “For they are your life and the length of your days,” and as it is written (Psalms 19), “More desirable than gold, than much fine gold, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.”

But when one consider this and sees that the evil inclination is to blame for everything, and strongly feels the bad that it is causing him, then he feels on himself what is written (Psalms 34) “Many are the afflictions of the righteous.” That is, that verse was said about him.

At that time he looks at what the verse says afterwards, “but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” At that time he begins to cry out to the Creator to help him because he has already done everything that he could think of doing, but nothing helped, and he thinks that “Everything that you find within your power to do, that do,” was said about him. At that time comes the time of salvation—the salvation of the Creator delivering him from the evil inclination—to the extent that from this day forth the evil inclination will surrender before him and will not be able to incite him into any transgression.

M. Laitman: Should we read it again, or is it enough to ask, or should we move on? Again, read it.

Re-Reading: (02:53) 37. Rabash. Article 12 (1985), “Jacob Dwelled in the Land Where His Father Had Lived”

M. Laitman: So, it turns out that the best state is when I feel how much I am in very difficult states. When I cannot come out of them, and I have no choice but to turn to the Creator and to ask for salvation from Him. Not that it will become easier for me when I feel real difficulties and I feel great torments. I'm not asking for good things. What I'm asking for is not to change these states because I believe that what I get is my states. Just help me out of these states to be in bestowal towards You. Meaning, it turns out that with each and every state we're not asking for salvation out of it. We're asking for the ability to be above the state. What does that mean to be above that state? Not to get rid of this state, but rather to be able to bestow to You. As bad as I feel, I turn this bad into a leverage by which to bestow good to you. Is this clear or not? Meaning, all the bad things that come, we're not asking for them to be gone, but rather we're asking for a mind and emotion, force, out of these states to be thankful to the Creator, to adhere to Him, to bestow to Him. Because if this state will be gone, I won't have what to bestow from. Because only to the extent of the difficulty of being in a certain state, and this Koshiut, [hardness, difficulty], it becomes in order to bestow.

The Aviut, the coarseness, becomes a quality of bestowal upon which I perform a Tzimtzum, Masach Ohr Hozer, restriction, screen, reflected light. I'm not asking to be better off, but rather, specifically in this state, which is bad, bad for my will to receive, I rise above my will to receive. I don't take it into account so much, even though I feel it is very good. I feel bad but I rise by seeing the opportunity for me to bestow to the Creator. That's more upon him, showing it as bad, well then, to understand that only if he's incorporated in a society, drawing the reforming light, can he change it to a true, good state. This is important for me than feeling myself under pressure, pain, ill, not okay, not good, confused, scared. If we'll talk about everything a person should feel when the Creator is bestowing regarding our personal business. Regarding our general business, well, we're in this state in the world right now. Look at the world. What's going on with us? Humanity is helpless, searching, all kinds of wise people are looking and trying to find new jobs or stuff, and there's a matter of the elections, and that doesn't matter what's going to happen, until humanity will understand that it has to look not for a way to come out, and to return to the life it had, no. But rather it must look for a way to live correctly in a good way, when good is correct, rather than chasing money or trips or things that confuse you and make you control each other. Until we understand this, I'm talking about the entire humanity, until we ask for corrections over it, forces, in order to properly connect, so that all of us together can reach bestowal in a mutual manner to the Creator, all these pandemics won't be gone. They'll only switch their forms, instead of a small evil to a bigger one, and even a bigger evil. This is clear, right? So what are we going to do with the questions? Well, let's start from Hebrew Ten.

Question (Heb 10): (10:49) Yes, Rabash describes a state where a person can reach above reason, but because he was told that he believes, and he believes that the Torah is the Torah of life, he can advance. The question is, what is that faith he was told about, if it's not faith above reason?

M. Laitman: He has by that, he's starting from a simple knowledge, not even faith, knowledge, knowing that he has nothing to do about it. All these blows are coming, he doesn't know where from. All he has is a thread, some opportunity to see things differently than humanity - the way humanity sees it, through the wisdom of Kabbalah. And then he's searching this way. It's the beginning, it's a thread.

Student: So it's knowledge, it's not faith yet.

M. Laitman: It's not yet faith, but that's how he gets to faith.

Question (Zafon 1): (12:09) So, continuing the previous question, what is the state called faith in spiritual work?

M. Laitman: Faith in spiritual work is the force of bestowal. That's it.

Question (Moscow 6): (12:35) Rabash writes, it's as though it relates only to me, but how to relate it to the Ten?

M. Laitman: Out of feeling that it relates to you, you should turn to the group, that should aim you at the group.

Question (Moscow 7): (13:03) I had a similar question. When I experience unpleasant sensations, turning to the Creator, that's clear, but how to turn to the group, that's less clear.

M. Laitman: I feel bad. I should think about why the Creator awakens me in such a way so that I, above my personal evil, I'll turn to the group with love and through it to the entire humanity, which is basically my real work and the true state I should be in. And the fact that I feel bad is only in order for me to know how to correctly, above this evil, to turn to the general Kli, and to the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:56) It's a question from the internet. A friend from Petah Tikva is asking, what does it mean where it's written that from this day forth the evil inclination surrenders and cannot incite him into any transgressions? We say that the evil inclination is not annulled until the end of correction. It's always an aid against oneself.

M. Laitman: My evil inclination is not canceled until the final correction. It's only corrected more and more in order to bestow, to bring us from the light to the heavy. Meaning every time the evil inclination that's revealed every day is revealed in a bigger, more cruel, vicious way, confused way, etc. We have to understand that, every day we have to work with it this way. To bring it to the group and to ask, as we’re in the group, to ask for help above from the Creator that will illuminate on us. And then this evil inclination will be corrected.

Question (Latin 6): (15:08) I'd like to ask about what you said with respect to the low states where a person is turned off. If I'm in a completely opposite state, it makes me ask questions. I think I understand what my Rav says. How to work so that when that low state comes, I can correct it as you say, to hold myself to the higher states?

M. Laitman: There are two states here. Beforehand, I was connected very well to the group. That's why I'm in preparation in the group. And whatever appears to me as an additional evil inclination is the left line, and I work with the right line, and that's how I overcome, and I walk in the middle line forward. If I'm not properly connected to a group, well then the revelation of this evil inclination will throw me down, and I have to annul myself to it, annul myself to the group. And so, gradually, I wake up. But still, all my work is in annulment. All the degrees starts from Tzimtzum, restriction. And above this Tzimtzum, I extend the correction of the vessel, the Kli.

Question (Moscow 3): (16:44) As we turn to the Creator with greater power, so does fear of the Creator appear. What is that fear? What is it for? What is that correction?

M. Laitman: Fear, you can read it in the Zohar, in the first Pkuda, [the first law], what fear is. Fear is the most important thing, it's the biggest thing, it's the infrastructure for our whole correction. So I have fear. There it's explained that there are three fears. You should read it. That we should be not fearful about our situation, what you mean, but fearing about, can I bestow to the Creator from my current state? That's the fear I should have, or not. If I'm constantly in this fear, like an infrastructure to my relation to life, am I bestowing to the Creator in each and every moment of my life? Am I relating to Him? Am I looking at Him? Am I constantly in connection with Him? Somehow connection, inclined towards Him? That's the infrastructure for all my corrections. All the rest of the degrees of fear won't reach you, because you're already afraid of how can you bestow to the Creator. That's why all the changes that will take place on you will be only as means how to bestow to Him. Your life becomes completely different. Try it.

Question (Latin 2): (18:50) It's a question from the Ten. What happens when we see the difficulty that a friend has and we try to do everything to lift him up, and despite that, he continues in the same state. Despite all the attempts to elevate him, he continues in that state.

M. Laitman: Well, you should see. Maybe it takes a while. Still, hold him so he should stay with you. Besides that, try to talk to his family, with his wife. His wife. A wife, really, affects her husband. It may help him, especially in Latin America. Out of my experience, I know that the women there are real strong, purposeful, beautiful. They can really influence their husband. In general, everywhere in the world. If a woman wishes to do it, she really affects her husband. That's how the Creator made us. There's nothing to be ashamed about here. We're weak before women.

Question (Florida): (20:29) You tell us to fill the space between us with love. If I love all the friends, from my vantage point, I can feel the connection between us all. But if I despise even a little bit one of them, the connection is broken?

M. Laitman: No, no, it's on the way. You always try to build an equal relation between everyone. If you try to build a real equal attitude for everyone, when you rise above your ego that aims you to one compared to the other, more or less, rather, you start feeling the Ten more and more as one. But there's a danger here, as if you're having more distance from the Ten, as if the Ten is a dead thing, is a given thing. No, if you really want to feel everyone equally, even though each one is very different from the other or from you, but is real dear to you, then you reach the center of the Ten. And there you can reveal the Creator. Then in such a connection between them, you attain this concept of one. One is the Creator.

Question (Toronto 1): (22:12) You said after we read the excerpt that it doesn't matter how we feel, but what's important is do we bestow, do we delight the Creator? What does that mean?

M. Laitman: Well, you should feel it, and then you'll tell us.

Question (Kyiv 2): (22:39) Here, in the excerpt, it says with relation to the evil inclination, with relation to the flavor. If there is flavor, I understand that there's a connection with the upper one. What's the flavor we should have with relation to the evil inclination?

M. Laitman: Basically, the taste should be bitter, if you're looking at it properly.

Question (KabU 1): (23:10) In this article, this is a question from the Ten that we discussed together. Rabash makes it sound like it's a simple process, that all one has to do is cry out to the Creator for help. And we discussed this, that when he says one or him, that it's really the combined group. So it should say that the Ten should cry out together. So here we are gathering daily, meetings throughout the day, multiple meetings throughout the day, and discussing and workshopping and preparing for the morning lesson. So how do we come together and cry out in such a way that we can actually feel this as a Ten and see, you know, the result that the Creator gives to the Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes, I understand what you're asking. And indeed, you guys are advancing well. And what you're asking will become revealed in you. It will become revealed as a common force out of which you'll see that you are turning to the Creator to feel the heart of the group. There is a force binding you together. So, you're many, but you're connected. And then there is the concept of a single force. You are, what are you, thirteen I think? Right now, at least. I didn't really count. Yes, thirteen. Okay. So, instead of being thirteen connected, then comes the one. And the one is not on the level of the Ten anymore. That's on a level above the Ten, whereby the unity of thirteen that become one, you break into a higher, greater degree. And then, on a higher degree, you'll receive a greater evil inclination, troubles, chaos, and you'll once again feel that you're being separated. Despite the previous connection, the disturbances that arise separate you again, and you work on them again. And this is how each time you come from Ten to one, from Ten to one. And a few such exercises, and you already begin to feel the upper force working in you.

Question (French): (26:07) Should we go through a state of lowliness in order to correct the evil inclination? And then what way can a friend in the Ten, what should he do when I'm in a state of lowliness?

M. Laitman: Rabash says that if a person sees that his friend is in lowliness, he has to go down to his friend's state, connect to his friend, and raise his friend upward. However, it's him making an additional Partzuf over himself when he goes down. He actually, in himself, remains above. Otherwise, he falls together with a friend. So with his external Partzuf, he connects to the friend. There, they feel together. And then he activates his upper Partzuf, and thus begins to raise both of them together. That's the work. Try to talk about that, and maybe even realize it somewhat, in the Ten.

Question (United VG 3): (27:39) Pushing the Ten is like Gabai and Shatz?

M. Laitman: No, that's the issue of... Well, Shatz and Gabai, but it's not that one pushes forward and the other pushes backwards. No. Gabai and Shatz both work together wherever the Ten is. They try to put the work into order. That's the Gabay basically, and the prayer by the Shatz. Essentially, it can be the same person, the same one person on duty every day.

Question (German 3): (28:30) You said not long ago, you spoke about the heart of the Ten, how to get to the heart of the Ten, how the quantity of friends in our common meetings influences the quality of the work.

M. Laitman: Well, in terms of the quantity that's needed, it could be ten, maybe twelve or thirteen, but not too much. And try, by reading the articles, to understand them together, feel them together. This way, we will calibrate our hearts to the right mutual connection with respect to the external phenomenon for everyone. And that's how we'll bring our hearts closer. So, the articles of Rabash, or excerpts that we are reading they are very important for us to calibrate our hearts and direct them to one goal.

Question (PT 29): (30:17) A question from the Ten. If we feel the evil inclination, and he writes it is a time of salvation, how is it a time of salvation if we feel only the evil inclination?

M. Laitman: It's good if you feel only the evil inclination, but are you aware that you feel only the evil inclination? If you do, and you say that it's evil, then you already have some discernment towards good. That's great. Start working.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:58) He begins by saying that the whole complaint of a person is that he doesn't feel any flavor, any moisture. It becomes dry, and it's like the inclination comes and makes it tasteless for him. So, why should he complain? He should say, great, now I have room to work without any flavors.

M. Laitman: Work where? What? And it's not in good or in bad. If I'm not drawn to spirituality, then I'm not. But if I'm at least repelled from spirituality, at least that. But if I have neither this nor that, I'm just like people outside, just like the whole world is.

Student: So, he's talking about a state of detachment, indifference? Yes, there's nothing worse than that. Very hard to get out of. Friends need to carry me on a stretcher, bring me into the group, let me lay on the floor like a dead corpse, and just let me be with them. And then gradually, somehow, I will be impressed by them.

Student: And in that state, a person may ask to feel flavor, to feel life in the spiritual path? Is it permitted for him to ask something like that?

M. Laitman: Permitted? Of course it's permitted. What do you mean? To pray, whether to the friends or the Creator, of course. Anything but remain indifferent. All right, read the next excerpt for us.

Reader: Excerpt number 38.

From Rabash, The Striking of Thoughts Upon MAn.

Reading: (32:56) 38. Rabash. Assorted Notes. Article 2. “The Striking of Thoughts upon Man”

“Because of the striking of upper light, which strikes that curtain, lights sparkled from them and went through that Masach [screen]” (The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 3, Chapter 4, Item 6).We can interpret that striking is the thoughts that strike a person, trouble him and tire him, and he has thoughts this way and that way. And all this is because he has a Masach.If he keeps the Masach and agrees to walk on the path of the Creator, which is regarded as “mind,” as “scrutiny,” when he comprehends that it is good for him to accept faith above reason, it is considered that he causes an addition of light in the upper degree, for the joy comes specifically through the scrutiny... This means that although he does not really feel the importance of the upper one, the scrutiny is through a Masach, called “an attempt,” regarded as “concealment.”But when he overcomes the Masach and sustains it, meaning he does not cancel the Masach, this causes joy above, and then the upper one also gives him joy. That is, to the extent that he received the importance of the upper one above reason, that same measure of greatness of the upper one extends to him within reason, not less and not more.

Reader: Again.

Re-Reading: (34:43) 38. Rabash. Assorted Notes. Article 2. “The Striking of Thoughts upon Man”

M. Laitman: Have you got questions about this or the previous excerpts? I see Kyiv One wants to ask. Do you want to ask about this excerpt or what we read before? This excerpt, you sure?

Question (Kyiv 1): (36:59) Yes, about this and the previous one and the same question, what we read about now. When he writes here that when you feel some disturbance or suffering and you overcome it, and you work on love of friends, and you come to this feeling that fills you, how do you come from that state to a state where you awaken joy from above?

M. Laitman: On your own, you cannot awaken joy above unless the Ten becomes as one, at least inclined to it. Because the difference between the degrees is that Ten becomes one on the higher degree. Then a will to receive is added, that one develops into another Ten, seemingly another Ten. It's a new desire. And once again, you need to turn into one and then you rise above. And this is how you rise in this kind of dynamic. So, trying to bring contentment to the Creator individually is just impossible.

Question (Haifa): (38:21) Does the force of Tzimtzum come from seeing the greatness of the friends?

M. Laitman: Yes. Everything comes through the greatness of the friends. All spiritual discernments come through the greatness of the friends. It becomes the Kli where you observe, receive spiritual discernments. The greatness of the friends is basically the precondition. That's where the Ten becomes in your eyes, in your heart, that is, as one heart.

Question (PT 13): (39:10) What does it mean to the extent that he receives the importance of the upper one above reason? How can you accept the upper one above reason?

M. Laitman: When you simply surrender. In the meantime, you surrender to the upper one, which means that you take, you receive His dominance, His superiority over you. That's in the meantime. Later on, the upper light comes and reorganizes us. It's not that we are capable of building the degree that is above reason. It happens by the influence of the upper light. However, we make all the preparations for the light to influence us and design this degree of the force of Bina above the force of Malchut, faith above reason.

Question (PT 34): (40:14) I wanted to understand what Rabash writes here. For example, I came out of the lesson, I went out to the day, and I went out from the thoughts of the lesson. The day pulls me left and right, all kinds of thoughts.

M. Laitman: Question mister?

Student: It's like a question, it's like a question. Well, the scrutinies after the lesson, when all the thoughts come and pull me left and right, or this scrutiny that the light illuminates all the nonsense, and then I have to connect to the society to return from that, from this process?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, and I'm asking you. You are part of the Berur [scrutiny] band, right? Which means scrutiny. So scrutinize before you ask.

Student: It was difficult to ask.

M. Laitman: There's no such thing. So just know that I don't understand any of your questions this way. Write it in front of you, write in front of you what you're going to ask. Shorten your whole explanation to a single sentence or two. No, scrutinize it with the others, you have a group. Try to process the question through them that you're going to ask. There's no other way. You can't ask this way. It's a sign that you yourself don't understand exactly what you're asking. I'm telling you, you need to write in advance. I can show you here the excerpts that we're reading today. You can't see my screen, right? I can show you how before the lesson, before the lesson with you, I wrote down what I should mention, this or that. You think I just come here and improvise like an actor on stage?

Student: No, not at all.

M. Laitman: It's not serious. I have to be responsible for the lesson, for what I'm doing, and make sure that there is a clear direction throughout the lesson and progress. And so even though I know what needs to happen, in order to actualize a few steps forward, I have to write it down.

Student: Sorry.

M. Laitman: Seriously. I remember in university, there were many kinds of different professors, but there was one, he would come, an old one, he was one of the older ones. He would come and take out of his pocket one note, one page, one piece of paper, looks at it, puts it back into his pocket, and talks. After 15 minutes, takes it out again, takes a peek, and keeps talking. And that was a true plan, teaching plan and working plan. And we would very much appreciate it. But if he would just talk all over the place like you, we want to learn from all the questions.

Question (Darom 1): (44:00) I heard that one does not count. So my question is, does a Gabai bring contentment? A Gabai works alone.

M. Laitman: No one brings contentment to the Creator, unless to the extent that he is included in the Ten.

Student: But Gabai is included in the Ten, no?

M. Laitman: It doesn't matter, Gabai or not Gabai. Everyone, according to how much he integrates with the Ten, he brings contentment. Gabai and Shatz do the work on behalf of the group, and to the extent that they do their work correctly, the whole group benefits. The whole group. And they need to respect that, that they are serving the group, not the Creator. So don't bring the Gabbai and Shatz as those who are conspicuous in the eyes of the Creator. No, they are there to serve, to be under the group.

Question (Haifa 1): (45:15) I'm asking on behalf of a friend who says he understands that everything is through the greatness of the friends, our spiritual development. But there is a friend in the Ten that he doesn't get along with. What should he do? It's been going on for a while.

M. Laitman: He's doing what?

Reader: There's only one friend that he doesn't feel good with. He's got a friend in the Ten that he doesn't get along with. He doesn't feel good with him.

M. Laitman: So he should turn to the whole Ten, ask them to help him make a good relationship with that friend. There's no human calculation here. Some pride, some attitude, he hurt me, I don't want to talk to him. This is something eternal, great, grand. What kind of calculations can you have here? I go to the Ten and I ask them, guys, help me. Help me fix my relationship with this friend. I don't have a choice. Otherwise, no one else advances. If I don't do this, then I'm drilling a hole in our boat.

Question (Zichron 2): (46:50) My question concerns the scrutiny that Rav said about the general correction and the personal correction. How do you deal with the affliction of the many, like Rabbi Akiva who laughed at the ruin of the Temple? For example, now there's Corona and the world is suffering, so how do we work with it?

M. Laitman: We mustn't laugh like Rabbi Akiva, because Rabbi Akiva saw the plan from here to the final correction, including our state. And he saw that in 2,000 years, there's going to be such a group like Bnei Baruch, and you will be asking this question. And that's why he laughed at everything he saw happening in his days as a necessary preparation of the ruin and the destruction, the shattering, for the state that we're in today. And so, specifically following Rabbi Akiva, we need to attract the whole of humanity to connection, because it was necessary for them to shatter, even though he yelled at them, love thy friend as thyself, until the very last moment, because it was his job to awaken them. But we, from below upwards, from the shattering, we have to try to turn to them as well with love thy friend as thyself, meaning from the Ten to broader circles, to continue the path.

Student: I understand, but if, for example, I imagine that I understand how to work individually, and I succeed in doing my work there, but in a general correction, what do I do with this sorrow, pain, the affliction of the world?

M. Laitman: You need to feel their sorrow, and correspondingly, you need to feel the right cure to that sorrow. I'm not laughing at the public who's suffering, God forbid, no. There are families, children, the whole world in pain, eight billion people are. They're all suffering. Today, there's no one who's not suffering. Finally, people are starting to write about this, meaning that the first blow of the pandemic passed. People are beginning to recover in their mind and see they have a place to observe from the sides, to start looking at what's going on, what's going to happen and so, this is beautiful. It's beautiful to see what's happening. I'm seeing from articles that I read, I'm looking at things, except for Israeli television. They're just, you know, on a trip there, just keeps going, it's horrible. But generally speaking, I see there are some serious articles that say that whatever happened is in the past, what's going to happen is not what we had. That is already a good stage. Now, we just need to explain what needs to be done so that what happens will be good. What does the integral global system of nature, which is all connected and appears in our time, what does it demand from us? And I think that people today can already perceive this. I also think that in Israel, it is possible for people to start listening. Maybe in the government, it's possible to start hearing as well. Because there's no choice. Bit by bit, I don't think that they can suddenly jump on all of this, and of course, it objects, resists their spirit and their political platform, but they can already understand that they're going to have to change themselves in this direction, and then they can really be better off.

Question (Belarus): (51:50) Can you explain why the scrutiny in faith above reason with the Masach, the screen brings joy? What's the mechanism?

M. Laitman: Joy is revealed from the influence of the upper light. Joy from good deeds, as they write. That's why we're happy.

Question (Moscow 1): (52:37) Here, in the beginning of the excerpt, he says that out of the striking of the upper light on that Masach, that screen…

M. Laitman: Where else?

Question (German 3): (53:12) I'd like to continue the question from Belarus. The joy in our work. Do we give the Creator - when we give joy to the Creator from our work, do we also get joy, or only the Creator decides when we get joy?

M. Laitman: You need to reach a state where if you bring joy to the Creator, that is your greatest joy. There is nothing greater than that. Try to think about it, and read about it. There are texts about it.

Question (Rehovot): (54:07) My question is, can a person develop without the Ten, the group, the environment?

M. Laitman: Without a Ten? Without the Ten, you can't develop at all. You might as well just leave everything, everything you're doing. There is no way in the wisdom of Kabbalah, in spirituality, to develop without somewhat recognizing the system of putting together the system of Adam HaRishon that was shattered.

Question (PT Young): (54:43) What does it mean in our work? What is a Masach, and how can we do it in a Ten?

M. Laitman: Masach is the power to overcome my egoistic desire. And when I overcome it, so as to appreciate the actions of bestowal and love of others, then loving myself.

Question (PT 22): (55:18) It's in the article, to the extent that he receives the importance, accepts the importance of the upper one above reason, that same measure of greatness extends within reason. What does it mean and what kind of reason, what kind of knowledge? Is it a person, a Ten?

M. Laitman: To the extent that the Masach rejects the self-benefit and appreciates the upper one, by that he can later attain the upper one.

Question (PT 31): (55:51) You recommended before, you said that you go over the excerpts and you write down comments. I wanted to ask if it's your recommendation to us to read the excerpts before the lesson, to write down notes?

M. Laitman: Of course, why not? Everything is open. What, are we looking for surprises? Of course not. We want to know and discuss the material in depth, and the lesson is the scrutiny in the connection between us. It's not about each one understanding in his own narrow, egoistic, short-sighted mind. We're not going to understand anything there. The lesson is for us to connect and through our connection begin to scrutinize. And what I understand before the lesson is what I understand alone. And even if I want to connect with others, it's still not enough, it's insufficient. When we're together in the lesson, however, wanting to connect and scrutinize between us, in the connection between us, the subject matter of the lesson, that's a different thing. That's already spiritual. These are actions that we awaken and discover in Adam HaRishon, in the general Kli. You understand? That's a totally different thing. So what I do before the lesson, it's just me trying to get into the material, awaken myself, connect with you through how I'm already connected to you, and try to stabilize today's Kli. But after you're connecting and you're starting to take action, that's a totally different thing. Then the light comes from the complete Kli that is going to connect, that is going to become corrected. So there has to be preparation.

Student: I wanted to ask, because I remember from the past that you said that you come to the lesson and you don't even know what we're going to learn. You're told what's material, you look at it, and as you go, you learn. I remember that you said it.

M. Laitman: True, but I had my own kind of preparation. I told you already before, even Rabash would see that I read Shamati before the lesson, and he asked me and I told him yes. That before I come to the lesson I wake up and I read Shamati . And he treated this very, very seriously, with a lot of appreciation. So that's something we have to do.

Student: Another question regarding the learning itself. In the last few months, we sometimes read a small excerpt and scrutinize it through the rest of the lesson. Sometimes we don't even read anything, just answer questions. Does that require a different attitude on our part, different learning?

M. Laitman: No, because our goal is connection between us. Through connection between us, we scrutinize the spiritual discernments. And without connection between us, we won't achieve spiritual discernments. We will just have, just like now corporeal discernments between us. You understand? That's a big difference and that's what we need to achieve. So we have no choice. In the lesson we have to try to be as one man in one heart

Question (New York 2): (59:54) Regarding the excerpt, what does it mean to overcome, not cancel the Masach, and why does this bring joy to the upper one?

M. Laitman: when I overcome and not cancel the screen even the opposite. I want to guard the screen, strengthen the screen, rise above the screen. Which means that I want to entirely remain in bestowal and then even my will to receive I want to carry it above the restriction, take it above the Masach, meaning to work with it in order to bestow. And then to the extent of that effort I begin to discover spiritual discernments. It's in that effort that I make, that's where it appears. My effort becomes the returning of the reflected light, and that's where I discover some of the direct light. You understand?

Question (Qazaqstan): (01:01:20) To continue New York’s question, it says that he doesn't feel more importance then the scrutiny is done without the Masach which is called an experience, meaning the quality of bestowal. What is the joy from the quality of concealment?

M. Laitman: My will to receive, I forcefully push it inside, keep it inside, and I work above my desire where I feel your desire, trying to bestow to you and not my will to receive where I wanted to bestow to myself. So everything I wanted to bestow to myself I now direct it to the desire to bestow to you. This is called restricting myself. The Masach where I invert my action to bestowal upon you and reflected light, that's the work. We will gradually talk about it more and then realize it. We're close to it, we're close.

Student: This work, is it more within reason?

M. Laitman: No, no, no. From your mind you start working on your emotion. It's not just - you didn't do it intellectually. You use your mind to work on your emotion. Try, try to do all kinds of exercises. I did such exercises with my kids, with my little daughter, now our friend’s wife. I used to tell her you like fish? She likes fish. She was a six or seven years old. I told her okay, if you like the fish, so kiss the fish before you eat it, give it a kiss. Come on. No she couldn't. Why? But you love the fish. You know, these examples, you need to play with it so you see exactly the mind, the heart towards me, towards you.

Reader: Let's Summarize the lesson in the Tens.
