Part 1:
Zohar for All. "Introduction of The Book of Zohar". "Mother Lends Her Clothes to Her Daughter". #17
1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, the wisdom of Kabbalah engages in this whole force that we get from The Creator and it cascades down and it reaches us through all of the degrees that are called the worlds, “Olamot”, from the word “Ha’alamah”, concealment, that they conceal the Creator, and they reveal to us our force of how can we progress towards equalizing our form with the Creator so we will also be in bestowal, love and connection and this is what the Zohar is telling us about, how from the Creator that is the light of Ein Sof, at force reaches us that can connect us and also make us connected and similar to the upper force, so let's read.
Reading 17 (01:34) “But when the letters ELEH extend..”
2. R. (06:04) This means that we have Abba and Ima, Israel Saba and the Tvunah and here he tells us how Abba and Ima bring down their lights to the ZON and this is how it happens. The descent of the light from the upper one to the lower one is done through AHP of the upper one which is called ELEH. Why ELEH? Because the Galgalta and Eynaim are MI, and the AHP are ELEH. So from the MI, the light comes to the AHP, ELEH, and from there it spreads downwards.
3. S. (07:14) What is this descent?
R. This descent means that they decided and they descended together with the upper one, where they descend for a certain task whereas fell means that they didn’t have the strength to be up and this is why they fell from their degree to a lower degree.
4. S. (07:46) What is the meaning of Israel Saba and the Tvunah?
R. We have the GE and the AHP l in each and every degree, so in the degree of Bina also we have GAR and ZAT, the upper three and the lower seven in the upper part and the lower part of Bina, so Israel Saba is called the GE, the upper part, and the AHP, the Tvunah is the lower part. The upper part is the male, and the lower part is the female.
5. S. (08:51) What is this upper AHP?
R. AHP of the upper one is that place, that level of which we receive everything. This means that this is the part of the upper one from which we receive. That part from which we receive is called AHP lower of the upper one and we must constantly think about how not to disconnect from it.
Reading 18 (09:36) “Ima lends her clothes to her daughter..”
6. S. (11:17) He is first writing here about the thought, what is it being a thought?
R. I do not know, we are going to study it, if it is saying it for the first time you cannot really demand or expect anything from it. He is going to go over it a few times and you will understand it from a certain point. This is how the Zohar does it.
7. S. (11:58) How do we hold onto the upper AHP, what do we have in our hand to hold on?
R. We want to receive from Him everything that He's giving us, we prepare for it. This can be done only according to the degree of our similarity to him. This is why we want to be similar to the AHP of the upper one so that our GE will be able to be on an equal degree, like him.
8. S. (12:48) In the first part here he writes that the time when she is before him in masculine form. What does he talk about here?
R. This is the force of the male.
S. What masculine forces is it talking about, that it appears before her?
R. Here he is speaking about the mother and daughter in general, but in order for them to activate themselves, they have to have in them the force of the male, so it says here the force of the male is waking up in the mother and the force of the male in the daughter this is how the mother can lend to the daughter her garments, the reflected light and the daughter can then receive from the mother within this reflected light she can receive the direct light and then he can finish you can feel what she is receiving so he will explain it later.
9. S. (14:37) What is the meaning here that the lower one who rises to the upper and becomes like him. How is this expressed?
R. He becomes with that same screen with the same power of bestowal like the upper otherwise he would not be able to rise to his place and be like Him, what does it mean that he is like Him, of course he's not changing his nature, it is not possible, but according to the degree of bestowal he becomes a like the upper. This is what it means that he rises to Him.
S. When is it felt for the first time?
R. When we rise from the lower one to the upper one.
S. What are the conditions? How many years does a person has to learn and feel that he's not rising?
R. You need to ask the Creator to do this work for you. You have been saying it nice, it is a correct question however you have to ask and request from the Creator, that each time that you do something that you want to receive a reward for it.
S. Part of our path is a day will come, and that we will not give in to it and then we just have to feel this sensation.
R. You think about it all the time, if it is important for you than you have to truly think about it all the time.
10. S. (16:08) A carving of one hidden image was extended, the holy of holies. Is this hidden image a revelation of the light and what causes that in order for Bina and ZON to be brought back to their degree? Is this having something to do with the revelation of the light?
R. To bring Bina and ZON back to their degree, down below or to raise them up, the AHP. This depends on the one who’s doing and toward the one who he’s doing it for that’s all of our work for us to adhere to the upper Bina and ZON with our vessels of bestowal, Galgalta Eynaim, so that we won't want to receive anything but only to adhere to the upper one and then we will rise with the upper one to his degree after we receive there the force, the knowledge, the understanding, the feeling, the adhesion, then we can come down to our degree and perform such actions towards our lower one. This is how it proceeds through degrees from above down.
Reading (18:23) “Thus in the state of Katnut..”
11. R. (20:37) Bit by bit, this permeates and we get used to it. It’s just like children the way they study they learn, they do not know what this is and what that is, however, out of all their impressions in their lives they begin to understand what these words are talking about, right, and it’s the same for us in the Zohar, we don’t see, we don’t understand, we don’t know, however, bit by bit through all kinds of connections between the worlds and between us we begin to feel what this is about. This is how the light influences us from above and it brings us the understanding of the upper world through the force of the Zohar.
12. S. (21:42) What is the attitude of mother and daughter in spirituality?
R. Relation between the mother and the daughter? Usually it means Bina and Malchut.
S. There are also fathers and sons, the degrees, the relation between degrees, right?
R. It’s the same, yes here too it’s the same.
S. How is Malchut a result of Bina actually?
R. Well, Bina means, Malchut is sometimes called the lower Bina because it is drawn, it wants to be Bina, it wants to receive from Bina her qualities and it wants to rise to Bina so Malchut is a consequence of Bina.
13. S. (22:40) What is the point in thought?
R. The point of Malchut in that thought, which is either Bina or Hochma.
14. S. (23:01) Being that it’s written here the adornment of the male is the adornment of bestowal, in clothing of vessels of bestowal?
R. Yes.
S. Then Bina and Malchut can go according to this clothing from […] to bestowal?
R. Yes.
14. S. (23:29) When the mother adorns, clothes her daughter, is the desire to grow and be there because you have the attitude of the mother to the daughter?
R. Bina gives Malchut the force of bestowal and then Malchut can connect with Zeir Anpin and then these ZON rise up and they start to work in order to bestow. This all through the force of Bina. This is why this article is so important because Bina gives clothing, a garment, to Malchut. Bina is the will to bestow Malchut is the will to receive so the will to bestow gives the will to receive the garments, corrections, and the will to receive that clothes into these corrections is then able to perform acts of bestowal.
Reading (24:40) “It was said mother lends her clothes to daughter..”
15. R. (27:38) Not yet truly receive a correction.
Reading on: (27:41) “Hence they are not as they should be..”
16. S. (31:25) What are the decorations that the upper Ima decorates?
R. She gives forces and then the vessels receive a screen, the vessels of Malchut receive a screen, and are able to receive in order to bestow. The actions are usually the same actions on each and every degree because what’s lacking is the screen, and there is a will to receive and so the only question is to receive a screen over it each time, restriction, screen, and reflected light, that the vessel will have that and then the vessel can work in order to bestow. The actions are pretty simple actions, these are actions like in a computer is 0 and 1, however because there are many such actions it turns out to be a very rich system, truly infinite, unlimited.
17. S. (32:49) If we can sharpen this point what do I need to do with my desire to receive in order to merit the correction?
R. Desire to receive need to try to connect with your friends and to see how much you are capable of this or not, where you are capable of it is good and where you are not capable of this then you need to pray that you received the strength so that the Creator gives you the intention to give back and then you will become similar to the upper.
S. Why does he use all these symbols like father mother daughter why doesn't he just say desire to give and corrections?
R. This is how the Sages are seeing the root because it is all arranged to the person in this world so they are giving it all kinds of names and images we are used to in this world because from these forces later on this world was created with all the names this world has.
S. And such like two days ago this is how we start to see that it is a connection between the physical and the spiritual world.
R. Yes.
18. S. (35:06) When we read the Zohar can we compare the feelings that we have when we read the study of the Ten Sefirot because a similar process is involved?
R. Yes of course, just in the study of the Ten Sefirot it is all first of all more detailed and that’s it but they are talking about the same things, about the cascading from above down, how from the Creator the light of Ein Sof reaches us, it diminishes along the way, it expands, it enters all the systems and subsystems. This is how it is reaches us and then how through it we can start to change. This is what happens. This is what we are studying about so now he is explaining to us how the upper light is reaching from the Keter from AA to Hochma and now to Bina, and he is talking about the relation of Bina to Malchut, and we of course are further down below that that but as a result of these actions we also receive a certain illumination even if the study and we do not understand, but nevertheless out of the great yearning that we do want to attain, but it is we get from this illumination something and it corrects us.
S. Can we feel the stages?
R. Later on we will not have a problem. We will not have a problem, for the time being the Zohar is more pictorial. It is closer to us and it is easier than the study of the ten Sefirot that is more technical, this is how it is written and it has many more details and this is why we are now studying the Zohar.
19. S. (37:45) Should we learn all of these concepts or it is better that we focus on our Unity. How can we use all of these concepts that are in the Zohar?
R. We need to use everything that is written in the book of Zohar in this volume where it is speaking about the operations of father Abba and Ima on Malchut. This is very important for us. All of the other volumes of the Book of Zohar besides this part we are starting. Besides the introduction of the book they already speak about how much of it we are studying here has influence on all kinds of events and incidents and degrees and different worlds. These are all the consequences, but here is the most important part.
S. So we need to understand what is written here?
R. Yes.
20. S. (39:06) I just want to know when Bina passes on the decorations to Malchut, it says that then she is built in the name of Elokim, like mother. What does it mean to be built in the name of Elokim for us?
R. Because then she becomes like the upper one by this that she receives forces from the light that is influencing her and she receives screens and can resemble her upper one. This is how she grows, like children grow and become like their parents. The same is happening here.
21. S. (40:31) Is this possible to include the Creator in all of our desires so he will shine in us. How do we build this force of connection?
R. The Creator is above all the desires, above all the qualities in the general. He is the general light of Ein Sof and if we want in something to resemble infinity, then we have to depict the Creator who is fulfilling all these vessels and to the extent we are using these vessels, the Creator illuminates and thus corrects us.
22. S. (41:43) The light comes down it was diminished and thanks to this diminution it was able to descend, but falling down, that is also because of the weakness, so it turns out that the light came down because it is weakness, so can we say that when this weakness reaches us we should not immediately look for forces, but instead to look at how to use this weakness so it means that the light wants to go even further down and bring something up?
R. You can think about this for the meantime but later on everything will change.
23. S. (42:40) What is the Ark of the Covenant?
R. The Ark of Covenant is a degree that is actually the Malchut that is in a higher degree than Malchut, in an ascent.
24. S. (42:58) During these many states like Saba, Abba, Ima, do we have to hold on to the initial intention or when we go through these states we have to have a new intention?
R. For the time being it is difficult for us because we do not understand these words and the names, we do not understand what they are doing and these parts of the entire godly system how they act and influence, what is their intention and purpose but gradually over time the become familiar with their work on us and how we can partner their work and become partners in this work on us. It is all natural we just need to be patient day by day that we will incorporate into what The Zohar is talking about and it could be that we will even repeat this during the day.
25. S. (44:36) What does it mean that the Nukva is poised for a question and still needs to raise MAN?
R. That she has a deficiency so she's raising MAN. She wants to receive MAD, a response and forces and this is what it means that Nukva is poised for a question.
S. Who is this Israel?
R. It is even more below than Malchut.
S. Is that us?
R. I wish it could be us but we still have not reached that state that we would be the sons of the Malchut, the sons of the Ya-Chalah, for this we needs to receive forces to make restrictions and then we would be the sons of Malchut.
26. S. (45:38) The lower one rises to the upper one and has the same screen but what does it mean that the upper comes down to the lower and becomes like him?
R. The lower one does request forces and is elevated above. The upper one, if it wants to help the lower one, then he receives a descent, for him it is just an addition and he lowers himself although it is against spirituality but he lowers himself in order to assist the lower one. It is like an adult, even a teacher in the school, so the teacher lowers himself in order to explain something new to the students.
27. S. (46:56) By reading The Zohar I have the book before me, what is that is affecting us because you said something like just by reading The Zohar it affects us, so what is the effort that we are doing?
R. Yes, I remember when I did not even know how to read in Hebrew. That I opened up the book of Zohar and it was before me like the book in any other foreign language but I just heard that this is a really great book and I began to read and to write next to each word how it is pronounced in Russian letters transcribed and then I wrote the translation and how to read it in Hebrew and this is how I did it for a few months. I still have it in my books here and how I wrote things, translations and transcriptions. This is how we learn what we do this is a foreign language which is always making things difficult but it is possible that today in some way you can shorten the path each one should try. I do not dictate to anybody what to do and in what way to come closer to the language. It could be maybe not to learn Hebrew, not to learn the meanings, not to learn how to read but instead that everything is in your own language. The problem is that how can we communicate with each other, always through translators. We will see, we are the first one's in the world who are learning the books of the Kabbalah in such a group that is international.
S. Do you read with a certain deficiency and a certain attitude and asking, so how does it work it looks like that we just have to read the book and then it just flows through you this elimination but what do we need to work on? Do we work on a deficiency, do we pray? What triggers this illumination the book itself or I have to do something?
R. That is precisely our work. We have to have a deficiency we need to have a deficiency and now when we are reading even if we are not understanding what we are reading.
Reader: It is written in item 155 in the Introduction to the Study of the Ten Sefirot.
R. So it's letter 155 it is written that out of this that people who read these books, the Kabbalistic texts, even if they do not understand what is written but they connect to the light that are in those vessels these lights can influence and correct them.
Reading Item 155 from Introduction of TES (51:11)
28. S. (52:06) Are there actually two different kinds of screen, one is when I build an intention from me and the ten to the Creator and all along the way, and the other is when I am in an environment like now, like a sponge in water and I just open my heart, so are there two kinds of screens and eventually they will join into one?
R. There are lots of different screens simultaneously, and they all influence each other and connect us in all sorts of forms between them.
29. S. (53:02) I noticed that the book of Zohar from beginning to end is using all kinds of allegories and mentions three lines and three lines and mentions it in all kinds of forms, you said when he was reading that seemingly the three lines is considered like a remedy and three points, can you explain what this is what are the three lines?
R. I do not know. It does not talk about it here.
S. It says these things here.
R. I don't know where you see these three lines.
S. He mentions the decorations of the mother and decorations and now he read about the Segula.
R. Look, once we see this again remind me and then we will talk about it.
S. What is the Segula?
R. Remedy is a unique illumination from above when we are engaged in some parts of the system, then those same parts in the system illuminate upon us and change us and correct us and raise us. They are elevating us and in this is called a remedy.
S. So when we are reading the Zohar we are drawing the reforming light? This is the remedy from that place?
R. Yes of course from the same source. Remedy is Segula, from the word Sagol, purple, and this word also means three lines in a way.
30. S. (55:02) You encourage us and you touched on this a bit when we first started studying that you are encouraging us not to use our intellect but to use our heart and a question that I have, can you share with us the type of the feeling and attitude you had when you first encountered the book of Zohar and started studying with Rabash?
R. I have no ability to share feelings with you that I had but it will come, it will come. The closer we get all of us together then you will receive it.
31. S. (55:48) The purpose of the whole engagement is the Mochin, to allow the vessels to receive Mochin, so why is this Mochin considered decorations, seemingly unimportant or external?
R. No it is not insignificant because the vessel that is corrected can receive the light of Hochma and then it illuminates this vessel and that is called adornment, and on one hand no spiritual vessel is chasing after the light of Hochma because then that is as if it wants to receive the light for itself, of course not, but only in order to illuminate to the upper one to do a favor to the upper one and thus that is why they want to receive the light and thus it is called that the mother is lending her decorations and the dressings to the daughter.
S. Seemingly the dressing is more important than the decoration?
R. The dressing is also something external.
Reading #18 (57:09) “Israel extend to the other letters..”
32. S. (01:03:38) Is the beginning of the connection of the lower one with the upper one when the upper one comes down to the lower one?
R. Corrected it is the beginning of the connection, yes.
S. So what does the lower one feel when the upper one comes down to it?
R. If it annuls before the upper one then it sees that it has a connection with the upper one in this that they annul to him.
S. What does it mean that it sees? What does it see?
R. It sees that he has a connection with the upper one during the time of his annulment to the upper one. Let us say it is like a baby that is grasping on to its mother. He has first contact and that from this he can receive additional forces and even to obligate mother to raise him more.
S. This contact is the one that is hardest to achieve.
R. Yes.
S. Once we have this contact it becomes easier?
R. Yes.
S. Are we close to that?
R. That we have to ask the upper one.
33. S. (01:05:06) What is the sign that it speaks about here?
R. That from this that the lower one has no complaints to the upper one everything that the upper one does he is silent and agrees with the upper one just to be connected with the upper one. Like a baby, like a little monkey even. Hold on to the adult and it doesn't matter what the adult does, the main thing for the lower one is to be connected with the upper one.
S. It says here about the female that becomes a male and then she no longer has MAN. So how do we advance from that state?
R. We will learn about that later on. It is not so simple but it is done, it is done. In spirituality there are no male and female like in this world, that how we were born is how we continue.
34. S. (01:06:16) What does it mean that the Nukva rises to the mother and becomes a male.
R. Malchut that rises to Bina becomes entirely giving, the quality of bestowal. The quality of Bestowal is a masculine quality then the Malchut operates as a male. She descends from there and she becomes a woman.
35. S. (01:06:57) When we are reading The Zohar and while we are reading it the foreign thought comes up, is this indicative of a correction that needs to be made in that space and does our intention allow illumination into that space?
R. Correct, correct you said it precisely.
36. S. (01:07:40) Where is the place of connection? Where is the meeting place of the upper one and the lower one?
R. The meeting between the upper and lower ones is in the upper Malchut but it could be above the upper Malchut? It depends on what degree they are connected. Usually it is the Malchut of the upper that becomes as Keter of the lower one.
S. Maybe it is in Bina or in Zeir Anpin?
R. We will talk about it later on, there are changes here.
37. S. (01:08:47) You said that we need to make a restriction in order to become the Sons of Bina. How is this expressed in the material world, what is expected of us?
R. What is demanded of us in order to connect to Bina? Reach force of bestowal. Sons of Bina, eight days.
38. S. (01:09:10) Do the restrictions in the upper one give the force to the lower ones to perform restrictions and acquire a screen?
R. If the upper one performs a restriction on himself in order to bestow to the lower one, then a restriction occurs.
39. S. (01:09:28) What is the meaning of Gadlut and Katnut, greatness and smallness, in the ten?
R. The ten Sefirot if they already connect they are a ten Assirya. And then the question is what desire they can be connected more and more and more. Let us say it is ten people that from above it is thrown to them a sack with money. Can they remain connected together, which there is a million or a hundred million dollars or a billion or not.
40. S. (01:10:20) How is it possible to raise the ten?
R. To raise the ten is it is by this that you speak with them and awaken them and they along with you make the effort to rise to the upper one. To rise to the upper one means to respect the upper one, to love the upper one, to connect with him, to be dependent on him. If the ten does this then they connect with the upper one, they climb upon him and then the upper one raises them.
Item 19. (01:11:00) “Henceforth the wholeness of the text as it is written the one who leads forth their host by number..”
41. R. (01:26:03) It is beautiful how The Zohar writes.
42. S. (01:26:23) We desire the Zohar to affect us and to be involved in it. We get together five times a day to read these texts and we try to establish a connection between us. Does this action of the meeting together advance us and if so how can we examine whether we are advancing this way the benefit of these actions?
R. It advances you for sure, can you see now if you are advancing? I am not so sure. It is like children in first or second grade in school, how do they know if they are advancing. You need to see like an overview of a part of the way and how you go through the way more and more and more, and then you will understand that they are advancing. But you are still not, you still don't feel it, you haven't gone a sufficient part of the way with respect to which you can measure how you're advancing. You simply need to trust me like your teacher, who says don't worry you are making progress and soon you too will discover your progress.
43. S. (01:28:13) In the excerpt that we just read right now it is pretty clear that vast knowledge you can only if there is someone that passes on to below. This means that only actions of dissemination or maybe something else like that can supply knowledge from between the upper one and the lower one?
R. No we can ask all the time, it is no sin, it is no transgression. Like a child he asks for this for this and for that give me this. He doesn't make any calculations he just asks, so try to ask this way too and then you will see that gradually it works and as a result you will begin to feel in what way do ask how to ask how to appeal to the Creator, so do not restrain yourself, just ask.
44. S. (01:29:34) The Malchut rises to the upper world and becomes like the upper World?
R. That is the law. The lower one rises to the upper one and becomes like it.
S. How do we as Malchut as a ten, how can we rise to the upper world and become like that?
R. If we can ask for the upper light to influence us and raise us, elevate us then it will do it. In addition of the Masach, the screen, light shines on us. From the illumination of the light we get more impression from the upper one, more greatness from the upper one, more respect for the upper one, more respect that I want to be more connected to Him more and more and more and I rise up, I ascend and I want to be connected to Him and then I rise.
S. What is this addition of a screen, what is it?
R. An addition of a screen means I have more power to resist my will to receive and I will want to work with it only in order to bestow. That is the way it is.
45. S.(01:31:36) We started to read The Book of Zohar this time you said before that it is worth us to hear it in a language that is clear to us and at the same time we also heard you several times talking about noticing the emotions. Is it better to understand and listen to a clear language and understand what is written or to feel what should we?
R. It is better to listen in Hebrew and to try to understand. Just like anyone that is trying to learn a language. This is what I recommend because in any case without Hebrew it is impossible, it is not a spoken language it is not a language that has to do with a certain Nation. Today it is customary this way but it was never a spoken language. It is the language for writing Kabbalistic expressions and Kabbalistic actions and the spoken language was other languages used for conversation. You can read about it, so you can't help it. Hebrew is specifically this language that created this whole structure, its laws, its logic, its grammar beginning with the shape of the letters and all the signs; they all stem only from spiritual rules. The expansion of the light from above downwards, the ascent of the light from below upwards, the combination of letters two three etc, all of this is based only on the laws of connection of the light with a desire, the vessels. I think that in any case we will still have to do something with it and I think we have to learn the languages and it is not that complicated it is pretty simple, how do you say it, I don't know, it is a geometrical and just a small number of rules and that's it. These rules will become clear to you because it stems from the combinations of the female vessel and the male vessel meaning the will to receive and the will to bestow and the rest of elementary things. As you see I cannot manage with English but with Hebrew I gradually managed it, so that is all I can say about it.
46. S. (01:35:01) We see that sometimes you have to do a certain correct actions with an animal, you give them some piece of sugar or something and he does a trick and with a child you give him compliments understanding he needs some kind of forces to move forward but when he grows up the reward changes. We see that we are also like little children but why don't we see a system in which we receive something for our efforts that gives us some kind of reward of sorts?
R. As long as we perform positive actions we will begin to receive positive answers from above, positive responses and then you will see that there are many actions that we can do and receive positive answers through them. You will see this is what will happen but for the time being, no.
S. Why is it such a long time that a person works?
R. Because in spirituality it is a law, that if you bestow then you advance, if you do not bestow you are not like the upper one and you are not advancing it is very simple, very rigid. There's no such thing as, have mercy compassion on me, there's no such thing. either you work in bestowal or reception, it is either one.
S. Meaning as long as we do not have the smallest act of bestowal we will not be able to get a response from the system?
R. We do receive but in a negative response which teaches us a little bit according to our degree.
S. According to that negative response, it is a response?
R. Yes yes of course and this is why those who understand it and want to advance this negative response is like a reward.
S. We see that the whole Zohar talks about this relationship between the lower one and the upper one?
R. Of course what else do you have? Only you and the Creator.
S. Father and daughter, father and son?
R. Yes in all kinds of variations but in the end it is a person and the upper force.
S. If we take this to roots and branches we have a very amazing event and we have Fathers and Sons the event there. 250 fathers and sons there at this retreat there. It is very moving to see our sons growing up like this, entering the path in a natural way, absorbing the light and love and connection and they are asking a question there because they do not have the technical ability to ask. How is the strong connection between a father and son that studies together, how can that contribute to their spiritual advancement?
R. If the father is learning and he is connected to the upper force, and the son through the father also connects to the upper force even if he does not know it, but he is connected. This is called ancestral marriage and by this they advance. He already has a son and he already has the merit, meaning he is already in spirituality even if you didn't do anything himself, but because of the father, he belongs to the spiritual system.
S. Even if the son does not do an active action?
R. Even if he doesn't do anything just like you, you have children and they look at your possessions as if it is their possessions, so this is how it works in life.
S. The spiritual assets the person acquires, is it passed on naturally to his son?
R. It belongs to him, yes it belongs to him as well. Why is it not good?
S. No, it is excellent, it is great.
R. This is called ancestral merit and that is why all our children will have a big ancestral merit.
S. Mothers and daughters and meeting for a similar event. What does a mother give to her daughter and what does a father pass down to his son, is there a difference?
R. What we just learned, the mother gives her clothing to her daughter, garments as we just read now. Through the father the light comes, through the mother comes the garment, the clothing, so let us hope that our children will have both through the fathers and through the mothers, they will have the upper force.
