Part 2: - VaYishlach [And Jacob Sent]

Reader: We are reading selected excerpts from the sources on the portion Vayishlach [and Jacob sent].

Excerpt number 1

Reading: (0:27) Jacob consisted of all three lines. This is why the Creator wanted his prayer, for it was in utter completeness. Of all three lines, like a prayer of many. This is why it is written, then Jacob was very much afraid and distressed, since the Creator made it this way for him. So, he would pray because he craved his prayer.

M. Laitman: So, what's Rabash saying here? Jacob was consisted of all three lines. This is why the Creator wanted his prayer, for it was in utter completeness of all three lines, like the prayer of many. This is why, it is written, then Jacob was very much afraid and distressed, since the Creator made it this way for him, so, he would pray because He craved his prayer. That means, we need to feel the Creator's relation towards us. When we feel the exile, the connection between us, the distance between us. And then, we have to demand of the Creator to be able to pray for Him according to exactly what He wants from our prayer.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:46) It seems here that, specifically, from Jacob, consisting of all the discernments. Being included in that, the Creator awakened him to pray.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, if we want to reach prayer, then the work to achieve that is to become incorporated with both lines. And from that, the Creator craves our prayer and awakens us to pray. It will bring us difficult states, like you said, but it's not that I want to pray and then I receive the prayer. But I have to do preliminary work, so the Creator wants my prayer.

M. Laitman: Correct.

Student: I would like to better feel what it means to be incorporated. What is Jacob incorporated with? What do you need to incorporate with so the Creator wants your prayer?

M. Laitman: Well, what do you think? What should Jacob be consisted of so the Creator would want to hear, specifically, from him the prayer for Israel

Student: Jacob had to consist of the right line which is praise and gratitude and seeing the merits of the friends and being whole. That the Creator chose him to do an action and to feel joy and upliftment and greatness, as we feel now in the lesson. And, on the other hand, he has to also consist of the left line, his ego, his evil inclination, like we just learned in the previous lesson. That his own flaws, that he was built an egoist, thinking only of himself. And here, he has to reach out to the deficiencies of the friends, the Ten. And from his incorporation with the right line and the deficiencies of the Ten, here, there's a question: Is Jacob the result of the incorporation of these two things? Or there's something else for him to do, meaning the prayer for the deficiencies of the friends? Is that already the complete prayer he writes about here, yes?

M. Laitman: Yes, Jacob has the complete prayer.

Reader: Excerpt Number Two.

Reading: (05:25) RABASH, Assorted Notes. Article No. 376, "Jacob Was Very Frightened"

We must precede everything we receive with a prayer, so as to have a Kli to receive the abundance, it follows that even after the Creator promised him in the vista of the ladder, it is regarded as Ohr Makif.

But when he met Esau, he needed salvation in the present. He had to pray and show the desire, regarded as the Kli for salvation, since without a Kli, it is impossible to receive Ohr Pnimi. The promise is regarded as Ohr Makif, but when we come to carry out the promise, we need a prayer. The Ohr Makif is an awakening from above, and the Ohr Pnimi comes by an awakening from below.

M. Laitman: Clear, no?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:07) In the Ten, we also touch upon the weekly portion, and sometimes there's a corporeal picture, like it's talking about a corporeal person called Jacob and Esau. And many times, we read from Rabash's articles that everything is talking about - one man, one person. And, I want to relate it to what we learned, let's say, in the Ten, we as if see things in the friends, as if on the outside. The question is whether engaging in the outside is in order to go back inside and see the forces that the person is standing in front of?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Meaning, if I go too much outside, I could be mistaken, that I should fix something on the outside.

M. Laitman: Correct.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:20) Is prayer a lack for a screen, a request for a screen?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: The question is when can you get to pray for that? Only after you want to bestow to the friends?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Not before that? You can't get before that to a request?

M. Laitman: No, before that you discover the Creator that is above all that.

Student: So, well, that's a question I had for a while: What is the will to receive that we need to put a screen on only when we want to bestow, to receive in order to bestow?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And before that, it's not even considered a will to receive?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: So, what is it, how do you relate to it? What activates me before that? What motivates me? Or it is a will to receive just not of the kind that we need to work on?

M. Laitman: Correct.

Student: What do I do with all that part until I actually come to wanting to bestow and to receive in order to bestow? What do I do with all the desires that awaken, there?

M. Laitman: How would you answer this?

Student: For now, I just push it aside.

M. Laitman: What do other people think? You have an idea?

Student: It's written that the Creator longs for the prayer of the righteous. The righteous, we've learned, is one who justifies the Creator. So again, we go back to the greatness and exaltedness of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Okay.

Question (Turkiye 7): (11:25) What is Jacob so afraid of?

M. Laitman: That he won't be able to fulfill all the three lines that he consists of.

Question (Latin 1): (11:45) What is fear and suffering? Why are they necessary for the prayer to be accepted?

M. Laitman: The prayer has to emerge from the will to receive – the depth of the will to receive – and therefore, when there's no prayer, there's no suffering.

Question (Belarus): (12:27) It's written that the promise is the surrounding light but the implementation, for it to be implemented, there's a need for prayer. What does that mean? It says the ladder is the surrounding light.

M. Laitman: The surrounding light becomes a light that is purposeful, and then, all the promises are kept.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:16) How do you weigh a pleasure in order to put the greatness of the Giver beside it? To know that the pleasure that exists, the value of the Giver, is higher than the pleasure, itself. How can I lift the importance and to know for sure that it's more than the pleasure, itself?

M. Laitman: Yes, that is also in this world – as if it should be that way, even though we don't keep this attitude. That the main thing is the Giver of the gift more than the gift, itself.

Student: What's the weight, how can I take a weight, put it here, take another weight because the pleasure is felt. The question is how do I know that I have more importance of the giver? How do I express that weight, this work? That I know that beside it I have the importance of the giver beyond the pleasure?

M. Laitman: Well, say then, who can answer? How do we weigh the importance of the Giver so that he is higher, more, than the importance of the gift?

Student: I think the measurement is how easy it would be to relinquish that gift. If I calculate and I see that it deviates me and there's no problem to give up on it. So, it means that there's more importance of the Giver.

M. Laitman: Yes, in this world, it's correct.

Student: I think it's the friends, society. The gift is not worth anything if it's more important than the friends. Then, the gift takes the most important thing. Society, the friends, they need to be more important than the gift and I take the gift because the friends are important.

M. Laitman: Well?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:46) I think that the fact that a person discovers the gift, that fact means that he also discovered the Giver of the gift.

M. Laitman: You can't discover the Giver of the gift without the gift?

Student: There's a connection between the Giver and the gift. If I discovered that I got a gift, it means that I discovered the Giver, otherwise it can't be.

M. Laitman: He's saying something, he's saying something!

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:28) I have an answer but also a kind of question. Because according to the system, if we receive it, it means that we have the ability, right?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Sometimes you get more than you can receive from above, of course. So that's a question, sometimes you think you're ready for it, and suddenly, you're standing before Esau and you see that maybe I'm not ready for it. So, how can I know when it's worth to advance?

M. Laitman: How do you know, that you're facing Esau?

Student: Because it's a big will to receive and I feel it inside; it's like he's still here.

M. Laitman: That's clear, it's a good discernment.

Student: So, what to do?

M. Laitman: What to do?

Student: Not to be afraid?

M. Laitman: Not to be afraid.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:16) It's about the question, the gift doesn't really matter whether it's small or big. But it relates to the intention of the person. Once you feel a friend gave you something from the right intention, it's already a good feeling. And it doesn't matter what the gift is. That's why, it's more of a symbol for connection and through the gift, we connect. That's why it's a better event to give a small gift than a big one, just to point on the intention and not the gift – it doesn't even matter.

M. Laitman: Okay.
