Part 2: Rabash. Letter No. 147. The Line of the Work

Reader: (00:03) We are reading from The Writings of Rabash, Volume 3. We are reading Rabash's article number 147, titled, “The Line of the Work”. You can ask questions on Sviva Tova and the Arvut system. Rabash, The Line Of The Work.

Reading: (00:23) Letter No. 147. Twice

One line is called “wholeness.” The general public follows the one line, meaning one way. That is, each one has a part in Torah and Mitzvot [commandments], and each one assumes how much labor he must do in order to feel that he has done his duty.

Each one calculates if he has done as he thinks, and then he is satisfied and feels that he is walking on the path of the Creator, and each day he is advancing.

This is not so on the right line: He should do everything the same as those who walk on one line, but the difference is that those who belong to one line do not have any more deficiencies, while those who walk on the right line have difficulties because the left line cancels the right line.

The left line evokes the craving for spirituality, which makes him think that we must walk on the path of Lishma [for Her sake], that this is the main thing. Thus, it is hard for him to walk in Lo Lishma [not for Her sake], meaning he does not have the satisfaction that makes it worthwhile to go, since the left line evokes the craving and the lack for spirituality.

Conversely, the one line does not evoke any lack within him. Rather, he adds each time because he has what to look at, whereas the left line erases everything.

Reader: (03:06) Again, Rabash article 147, “The Line of the Work”.

M. Laitman: Questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:46) I want to ask a complex question: How do you connect between the left and right lines that a person, personally, reveals to the right and left lines that are revealed in the Ten?

M. Laitman: Well, with that, we'll wait, we'll wait.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:19) How to be cautious of a state that the left erases everything? Because it's right that it encourages you to ask for spirituality, but you have to be careful it doesn't erase everything, right?

M. Laitman: Well, let's say; in order for the left line to not appear, as a disturbance to the process, we have to always make sure we increase the right.

Student: Because he writes that on the middle line, there are always little discernments he advances with if I understood him, correctly. And maybe he even recommends that more than going in two lines because he sees that he has to go on the left. So, what's a better way to advance?

M. Laitman: In the left line, to go in Lishma?

Student: He said that he awakened the left to understand that he can't continue in Lo Lishma so he can aspire to go in Lishma, if I understood, correctly, what Rabash wrote. T that he encourages him to advance towards spirituality while awakening the left?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: On the other hand, he says that if you're going in the middle line, so you're taking small steps and it's not a true deficiency for spirituality, it's just little steps? Or maybe he understood it, incorrectly.

M. Laitman: We need to scrutinize it further.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:09) He writes at the end that one line doesn't awaken a deficiency, but he advances because he has something to observe. So, what he counts as deeds and the commandments, what he's doing, he has something to look at? Because he writes that the left erases it, meaning, he has nothing to look at because maybe the intentions are something greater than deeds, right?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: So, it just cancels all his efforts, he feels he wasn't even near Lishma. And how to advance from there, how to do deeds when he understands that everything is for his self-benefit, so where now can he get forces?

M. Laitman: That's how he sees that it's revealed to him.

Student: What response should he give?

M. Laitman: We will read it again, read the article again.

Reader: (09:40) Again, article 147, “The Line of the Work”.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:31) He writes about the left line. It is difficult, because the left cancels the right and awakens the need for spirituality. So, the way I feel it, as it happens, is that the resistance of the left and the attempt to overcome it that comes from the right is what awakens my lust for spirituality again. The resistance of the left awakens me to fight against it. That is how I recognize it in me.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:29) He writes that each and every one has a part in Torah and Mitzvot. And each one assumes the exertion he has to give to feel that he already did his work. So, how do we implement that in the Ten, we are speaking about connections.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: I feel that here there's the daily work where we connect all our individual work and gather it to be one. So, how can we really each one give the whole Ten a feeling that we're truly on the right direction?

M. Laitman: We need to try to connect in this connection, we connect our vessels, this is how we, gradually, reach one Kli. On the way, we certainly stumble upon resistance, these before those, and those, and those, and so on. And?

Student: So, this resistance that we discover in one another, in our scrutinies and the actions we want to do in the Ten, any action, doesn't matter what. Suddenly you feel that there's not like one flow that wants to do this. So, how do you work with it, how do you awaken this action to be as one. And not that two or three friends go in a direction and some other friends just drag after them?

M. Laitman: How do you imagine the connection between us, the Dvekut, the adhesion?

Student: I think that eventually we all need, as we say, to keep annulling towards one another. And eventually to agree to the action even if not everybody agrees, but we feel that we're going to give contentment to the Creator or society in it and give greatness. So, we have to do the action above reason. It's not my inner question. So, I'm asking how to take my inner action whether I agree or not. And we all connected to one common action and raise it above reason?

M. Laitman: How can you combine them?

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: I think it is possible to do, we're all together, we have one goal. To incorporate in the Creator and with His force we can, despite the fact that we're all different, connect.

Student: We know we have one common goal, we're constantly talking about it.

M. Laitman: That's just talking, well, well?

Student: So exactly, I want to see, practically, if there's an action that we'll all feel in the group, in the Ten, that it's happening as one. I don't want a friend to feel that he's being dragged but that we're all feeling that we're doing it for the goal, for the Creator, for society. How do we make sure that this action, in the end of the day, or maybe after the action, you feel it's been done? I'm asking before the action, on the preparation, how do you cause all the friends to feel that they're doing it through love, through a true desire?

M. Laitman: We need to connect this action with the purpose of creation, and how we implement it; by which force?

Student: Is it good to take articles of society, let's say, before such an action, that you all want to be together, to take these articles and read between us, and raise the importance of the goal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:34) I got a bit confused from the right and left, here, that he defines. He says that the left evokes craving for spirituality. When a person wants to see that the Creator is The Good That Does Good, that's called the left.

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: When a person wants to see that the Creator is The Good That Does Good.

M. Laitman: Who, the Creator or the person?

Student: When man wants to see that the Creator is The Good That Does Good, and that the friends are great. And he wants to justify the actions he feels and sees, that's called left?

M. Laitman: Why is it the left line?

Student: Because it's a desire for spirituality.

M. Laitman: What is left line, here, in this?

Student: That's exactly what's confusing me, he said the left evokes a person to spirituality.

M. Laitman: Yes, but not in the case that you're talking about. What case are you talking about, right now?

Student: Let's say I want to see that my friends in the Ten are great. Why do I want it, because I want to reach spirituality.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, it seems like it's the left, so I'm a bit confused between what right and left are.

M. Laitman: Who can tell us?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:16) What the friend explained is left, that he is not satisfied in the work. That he feels that the friends aren't great, but he wants to feel them as great, but what he feels now is that they're not. That he has complaints, that he's not satisfied from the work. And the right is that he's in wholeness and gratitude, justifying. That the Creator is awaking the deficiencies, thanking him for advancing, and so on and so on.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:55) I want to ask, if I may, he's speaking about one line, that it's like the right. But he doesn't have to be exactly like one line, because one line, it's like what he said in the beginning of the lesson that you have to copy things of this world to the inner world. It seems that there's no coupling in one line, a person is just satisfied and he gets a fulfillment. I guess there's some reward and he feels good about it. And in the right, it supposedly has to have a coupling with the left, and from that, he'll advance?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, how do you copy that into the Ten, if we can, because it's good that he has wholeness in the work, he comes to the meetings, and he wants the support and everything. But the Ten, he says that the left awakens his lust for spirituality, and we say that envy, lust, and honor takes a person out of the world. So, in some way, we have to know how to use the connections between us in the Ten to supposedly take a person out of his habits and help him jump to a new place. Every time something new and to help each other in it. So, in the Ten we work on it a bit with the desire that every friend will be able to check himself and annul before the principles of the Kabbalists, their advice. And not to get stuck in a certain place, so, how to work correctly with what we call the left here that helps a person rise from his state. Can you give us that place to work because it feels that from that we might have a lot of work, instead of just sitting and resting.

M. Laitman: No, we don't have work, only to attribute ourselves correctly to the right line and the middle line.

Student: And this left, what he says is a lust for spirituality, is that just to sharpen our intention of our connection?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:51) I wanted to ask this for a while. Also, closeness and resistance in a person, it's not of his own, the Creator gives it. What's a person, it's just like an indicator of something he's going through. So, what's the work when there's resistance or closeness because it just changes. And it's not clear when which of them comes and you just shake up like a pendulum from the forces of the Creator. So, what's the right work in those states?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand.

Student: Let's say, me, suddenly, I have a feeling of criticism, resistance, anger, and then it changes in a feeling of closeness, and love, and a hug. And it doesn't always, it isn't connected always to the work and exertion I do. I see it's unexpected, you never know what exactly is going to come. So, what should my response be with those gifts from the Creator?

M. Laitman: With all the different states that come to me without an invitation on my behalf, I need to check them. And the extent in which they are in my process of development towards the purpose of creation, yes? And to advance this way.

Student: I understand but what does it mean to check?

M. Laitman: To check how much I can use them in order to advance to the point of the goal.

Student: So, once there's closeness and love, that's clear, the heart opens, I'm drawn to the friends. Once there's resistance, like he wrote that the left brings the resistance, so what should I do with it? Instead of shutting up and, I don't know what to do.

M. Laitman: No, but if you know what is wanted of you, by you receiving now certain thoughts, desires from the left, then you can use it.

Student: I don't know what it means to use it because it fills you and you supposedly?

M. Laitman: How fills you? How does the left fill you?

Student: When it comes and erases everything that's written, here; and what can I do now?

M. Laitman: Start longing for the Creator, from zero.

Student: And what to do with this left? It just comes to disturb me, or should I scrutinize something?

M. Laitman: It gives you the beginning of the work.

Student: That is?

M. Laitman: That you need to connect with the friends and, in your connection, find a place for the receiving.

Student: In this stage that the left comes and erases everything, you can’t connect to the friends. Even if it says go against the pain, there is no movement, a person is clogged in that moment. He just says it as a fact, it's this, and that's it, there's no forces to come close to anybody.

M. Laitman: Sometimes such cases, states happen, and a person needs to bow.

Student: What does that mean?

M. Laitman: Means to agree with it, to educate himself.

Student: But that's the way it is?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's part of the path.

Student: And he can't change it, that's how it is?

M. Laitman: Forcefully, he can't, because he doesn't have the vessels to build it.

Student: What should he ask for in that moment?

M. Laitman: What does he mean?

Student: What should he ask that moment he surrenders?

M. Laitman: For the forces.

Student: What, to go through it, to use it?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:45) Where does the left come from, from the books, from the sages that say that we have to check the intention? Or is it from man?

M. Laitman: From within a person, from his desire to receive.

Student: So, that's how the checking on his intention; or it's because he's told about it?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Student: So, how can a person strengthen the left, the criticism, towards his work?

M. Laitman: Where does a person strengthen the line?

Student: The left, if he doesn't check his work. He says, passion for spirituality comes from the left, awakens it.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: So, you have to strengthen the left, the criticism. On my intentions, on my thoughts, without that, a passion for spirituality doesn't come.

M. Laitman: Envy, lust, and honor, it is written, that we need to evoke.

Student: What does it mean to evoke envy, lust, and honor?

M. Laitman: That I awaken these qualities, and, by them, I wake up to balance the left line.

Student: The left is criticism, that I do on the work?

M. Laitman: Let's say.

Student: Is there an objective criticism on a person's own work?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: How does he know that he's criticizing himself, correctly?

M. Laitman: According to the results, only according to the results.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (31:00) I wanted to ask about the criticism: He writes that also in one line there's criticism because a person depicts to himself what he needs to do to reach satisfaction. Then he checks himself whether he did it or not, if he did it, he's satisfied, and he doesn't want more if he didn't do it, so, he makes efforts to reach it. So, criticism doesn't mean there's a left line according to the article, it just means that a person is working on one line. And he says that the left is when he feels that he wants to reach Lishma, and if it's one line, it's not worth anything, it's not Lishma. So, the question is, we say that our deeds are in the Ten, so a person has to work only on the right?

M. Laitman: If there's no necessity for the left, then how will he evoke the left?

Student: But it awakens on its own, if a person has a yearning to attain the Creator from his point. From his own will to receive, he wants to attain Lishma, if he has it, if he doesn't have it, he doesn't have it.

M. Laitman: In what Kli?

Student: That's my question.

M. Laitman: In what vessel does he attain this?

Student: In his work in the Ten, he has to annul his desire, his passion to spirituality. To aim it, correctly, that it's in order to bestow. And supposedly in the work in the Ten, it seems Lo Lishma, that there are actions that are done. And they can be proud of them and say, look, we connected, everything's great. But still, he only needs to engage in the actions in the right, compared to his original egoistic desire for spirituality? So, is that the right or is it incorrect?

M. Laitman: No, it's not right, he didn't scrutinize it, yet;, he didn't build his line yet.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:42) I want to see if I understood: Before a person has the right, he has to resist the left that awakens and tells him you're not Jewish, you're not part of the spiritual path. A person has these thoughts sometimes when he wakes up. You don't belong to a spiritual path, all kinds of thoughts that want to completely disconnect him. So, the right is when a person what he builds is above it, that he says, I am I'm coming to the group, I'm coming to the Ten, and I do belong, and he doesn't argue.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: After he has this right, it's not good to just remain there, right? It's like smallness that is good, but you need some kind of addition.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: He also says that half an hour a day. You have to check yourself.

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Student: So, there's two left, here: There's a left that you just disregard but there's also a left line that has quality that evokes passion for spirituality.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Is it right to think that way?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, it's all dependent on the coarseness.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:06) The question is what is that right line that brings the blessing of the left that erases it and brings them Lishma? What is truly in that right?

M. Laitman: In this right, there's the inclination towards Dvekut, towards adhesion.

Student: So, also, the yearning for Lishma in some kind of way?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:52) He writes that each one calculates if he did what he understood, so he's satisfied and feels that he's walking the path of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do you recommend to do a calculation, a true calculation, and not imaginary?

M. Laitman: It depends what Kli you are building it upon.

Student: Towards what do I calculate?

M. Laitman: Towards your desire, what do you mean?

Student: Why should a person do that soul-searching? Usually, it's when a person is in a very emotional situation, and it brings them to the edge. And there he performs that calculation, is that right?

M. Laitman: Well, let's say.

Student: Can you do such a calculation when you're?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, it has to be really stretched out and strained.

Student: So again, to be in a soul-searching, a calculation, during the day. Is that possible?

M. Laitman: For a few moments, here and there, yes?

Student: I still didn't understand what I'm doing this calculation towards.

M. Laitman: That awakens in you, I can't say.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:48) Sorry for the depiction, this is how I understood the letter: A person goes out of his house, goes to work, works, and with all his forces comes back. Eats whatever he brought home with his wife, then he goes to sleep, he gets a hug, and I guess he goes to sleep. Wakes up the next day, looks at his wife and suddenly he sees her so beautiful that he can't breathe. And suddenly understands that he got a gift out of this world, from the heavens, that it's a treasure, the daughter of the king. And he thinks about what he brought her yesterday, the provisions, and he's in shock. He brought the king's daughter a peach, let's say, and from this, she lived with him, and he got a hug and a kiss, and went to sleep, smiling. So, my question is, now he has to go out and provide for the king's daughter. How do I, yesterday he was on the right, he was in wholeness and he's doing his work, that's how he lives. How do I return this right, that to bring it back to the wholeness and he can really provide for the king's daughter. And in the evening he'll really bring such a provision that he'll get the hug and a kiss and go to sleep, smiling.

M. Laitman: I don't know, I can't be in your story.

Student: He says that a person, he calls it the left, that suddenly he looks that he was working for Him, and he discovers that everything he did was erased. That he discovers that he didn't do anything for this huge thing that he's working for. And that he even has the privilege to work for Him. So, first I have to hug the left in every moment because he reveals how huge this thing I'm working with is. The greatness of the goal, the greatness of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Okay, maybe you're saying something important, but I can't enter it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:56) He starts the beginning of the article in one line. Then, he says that he calculates in his soul that it's actually when he's calculating in his will to receive alone without a deficiency. Then he advances to the right and the left, we know in our work the recognition of evil goes through all kinds of stages. I remember how the Creator created the will to receive and at one point you tell yourself, go to the artist who made me, you annul, and all you don't do. On the other hand, the Ten was given to us, also the friends asked about it, how do we do our work inside us with everybody in recognition of evil to advance in something?

M. Laitman: I don't know, you need to ask yourself whether you are discovering that your Ten brings you matter, desire, that you want to integrate with and raise to the Creator. To incorporate with the Creator or not, that is first. And do it, implement it, that's it for the time being.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (43:16) In this transition, we're learning about between a physical gathering and the connection between us. I remember that we sat in a Ten, together, in the beginning we said relatively we don't have a lot of deficiencies. But in this process suddenly a lot of work appeared because everybody has the same goal, greatness of the goal, importance of the Creator. But the huge differences between us to bring it into one, and touch everyone, is something that none of us know, and we all pray, and it's not simple to implement. We're asking the Creator to guide us what to ask for, how to ask. And there's a lot of gratitude for that, and also prayer?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:21) Can we divide this article into general work and private work? Sometimes, you go with the collective, where he adds and does commandments, counts his pages, and he's satisfied, because he thinks he's advancing. But on the right, he starts his work on the right that he wants to go towards Lishma, the holy right line. And then, he's shown after that by strengthening in that right, and then he's shown the left, criticizes the criticism and then he can see flaws. And he can't advance because he wants to hold on to the right and he continues. But still it's worth to keep going because he reaches the middle line through the two legs. So, the last part, that one line doesn't awaken a deficiency because the left erases everything. So, I didn't understand that he goes to the left in order to be able to strengthen the right.

M. Laitman: Check it on yourself.

Question (Turkiye 2): (46:38) While the left line awakens a longing for spirituality in a person, at the same time it erases everything, so, how do you balance between the two? On one hand, the left line awakens a longing for spirituality and gives a push forward; on the other hand, it was said in the article that it erases everything. So, the friend is asking how to balance between these two things.

M. Laitman: When connecting to the left, we have to reach a state that it raises us towards a question to the Creator. That we need to reach the Creator in order to ask for a correction, that is the role of the left. Well, we’ll come back to it tomorrow. For now, let's keep going.
