Part 1: Rabash. Letter 72.

We're studying the Letter 72 of Rabash. You can find it in the study materials on Sviva Tova and the Arvut systems, here in the study hall. Whoever afterward wants to ask a question is asked to stand up, to hold the mic close to the mouth, and speak loudly and clearly. Letter 72 of Rabash.

M. Laitman: I have nothing to say. It's a letter. It's full of different concepts. We'll read once, we'll ask questions, and maybe we'll read again. Let's read.

Reading Letter: (00:58) Rabash Letter 72.

April 26, 1965

Hello and all the best to my friend,

I ask that you will please write me often about how you and your family are doing, about your health and provision, for I become very worried if I don’t hear from you.

Raban Gamliel would say, “Anyone who did not say these three things on Passover, did not fulfill his duty. These are: Pesach [Passover], Matza [unleavened bread], and Maror [bitter herb].” We should interpret what this means in ethics. It is known that the order of the work is that one should begin and then comes help from above. It is as our sages said, “Man’s inclination overcomes him everyday and seeks to put him to death, and were it not for the Creator’s help, he would not have overcome it.” This means that only when one wants to work he receives help from above.

However, there is a rule that one receives help only when he needs help, meaning when he sees that he cannot do it alone. Otherwise, the request for help is not a genuine request because he knows that he can do it all alone, but he is lazy, and the lazy receive no help, as only those who long for the Creator receive help, as our sages said, “Be as fierce as a leopard, as light as an eagle, run like a gazelle, and as strong as a lion.”

Therefore, the order is that the beginning is a state of Matza, from the words Matza and Meriva [quarrel], as it is written, “When they strove with the Lord,” and as our sages said, “One should always vex the good inclination over the evil inclination, as it is said, ‘Be angry, but do not sin.’” RASHI interprets, “Make war with the evil inclination.”

When a person makes war with it each day but sees that it has still not moved an inch, but on the contrary, it has grown worse, he begins to feel bitter. This is called Maror [bitter herb]. It is as the holy ARI wrote, that at the time of redemption, Israel stood at forty-nine gates of impurity, and then the Creator appeared to them and redeemed them.

This is truly hard to understand: How can it be said that before Moses and Aaron came to the people of Israel as messengers of the Creator, they were not so deep in gates of impurity, but only after Moses and Aaron came and they saw all the signs and tokens that were in Egypt did they fall so deep into the gates of impurity? The thing is that everything depends on the sensation. One cannot feel the true reality itself, as our sages said, “One does not see one’s own faults,” and “One learns Torah only where one’s heart desires.” Therefore, he cannot see the truth as it truly is. Rather, being able to see the truth is help from above.

Therefore, before Moses and Aaron came, they did not see the truth. But afterwards, when they saw all the signs, they were awarded seeing the truth as it is. That is, they saw that they were at the lowest degree, at the forty-nine gates of impurity.

And then they were rewarded with redemption. That is, after they felt the bitterness, they were able to make a real prayer over their situation. It follows that the Maror, too, is help from the Creator, meaning by Moses and Aaron, and the signs and tokens that the Creator had shown them.

And then they were rewarded with Pesach [Passover], meaning that the Creator passed over the houses of the children of Israel. This is the meaning of “skipping,” called “skipping over the degrees.”

Normally, one who learns some wisdom adds gradually. But here it was the opposite—each time they would descend lower into impurity, and only when they saw their real state they could ask of the Creator for real prayer, and then the Creator helped them.

This is the meaning of Pesach, Matza, Maror, which go together. Otherwise, it is impossible to be awarded redemption. The letters of Golah [exile] and Geulah [redemption] are the same [in Hebrew], and the only difference between them is the Aleph. This shows us that only when one feels the exile does the Aleph, which is the Champion of the World, is revealed to him.

By that we will understand what our sages said: “What is Maror? Hassah [lettuce]. And why is it called Hassah? Because the merciful one Has [had mercy] on us.”

This is difficult to understand since we understand that an intimation that the Creator had spared us should have been with something sweet, and not with something bitter. But as said above, in order for one to receive help from the Creator, he must first feel the bitterness of the situation, and it is impossible to feel bitterness because “one does not see one’s own fault.” Only through help from the Creator can one see one’s true state. This is why there is the intimation of Maror—that the merciful one had mercy on us and showed us our true state, which is bitter, and then we can be awarded salvation and redemption.

May the Creator send us the complete redemption soon.

From your friend who wishes you and your family peace, health, and much contentment, Amen.

Baruch Shalom Ashlag

M. Laitman: Let's gather a few questions, and then talk. Please.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:08) Why is each time revealed to a person just a bit of the desire to receive, and not right away, why is it not revealed right away that he's in the forty-nine gates of impurity?

M. Laitman: What do we have to do with this desire to receive that's revealed to us? I'm asking. Let's say, before me, there is a steering wheel, or something else. To the extent that I spin it, I'll reveal. I'll spin it until the end of the correction to receive everything together to the fullest, and its whole heaviness.

Student: I don't know. What do I do with the desire to receive? I pray to come out of it.

M. Laitman: No, this is so big. You want this to be revealed to you straight away. You won't bear it. Even to the extent that it is being revealed to us, we see that we get one step closer, two steps back. This is not simple. And other things. That's why the Creator reveals without asking us, and in a way that we are ready. We ourselves don't know what we're ready for. When I go to a shop and I ask the vendor, give me this, this, and this, and with regards to this, I open my desire to bestow. No, that's not the way it is. We see this on ourselves. To what extent, when we are given a little more and if the desire to receive isn't in size, then it's according to time when the desire to receive is revealed to me and I'm not prepared. Here it's the same. We have to make preparations here, to discern between different desires.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:10) He writes that everything depends on the feeling because a person isn't capable of feeling the true reality itself. As our sages said, one does not see one's own faults, and one learns to grow only where one's heart desires. Therefore, he cannot see the truth as it truly is. This is a principle, but it's not there. If we can agree with everything on the path, but with this principle, it's very hard to agree with. Even when a person is ready to exert and devote oneself, it could be many, many years. How does it happen?

M. Laitman: Don't worry. I'm telling you, don't worry. I'm telling you from personal experience. Everything here is calculated. And all in all, we're getting closer to the truth, and the Creator reveals it to the extent and in such a way that it's simply useful for the soul, effective.

Student: If we just ask for that principle, that a person wants the truth, is that enough for that whole process? Not to ask for bestowal and a thousand other things, but if we just want the truth, can we do that?

M. Laitman: This is revealed under the concept of truth.

Student: Is that enough to come out of Egypt? To know what to exert into?

M. Laitman: But how do you know what truth is? That's it. We read in all the articles that we are born in a lie. So, it's good to ask for the truth, but it's worth trying to first attain to what extent we want it and yearn for it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:39) When do we merit that state? It's written that Moses and Aaron came, and then it reveals to them the tokens, and then the gates of impurity, and the great desire to receive if I understood it correctly.

M. Laitman: Yes, good. Here there are differences. The story itself, because in this story the Torah wants to reveal the system, its actions, and the way it affects a person, and it has to reveal itself with regards to a person and awaken him for and against. That's why we shouldn’t approach the stories of the Torah. I don't neglect them in any way, but we have to look at them, in a way that this is the way it should be revealed in relation to me. It's revealed more to some, and less to some in any state, in any sequence. In the order that exists in the Torah, we have to see that we have to accept it as a force that develops us.

Student: How can we understand those signs and tokens in the work?

M. Laitman: It's not worth it for now. You don't know for now. A time will come when this will be revealed to you, and then you'll see that you're looking at this correctly.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:57) It's written that only after feeling the exile that the Aleph gets revealed, which is the Champion of the World. How do we feel that exile?

M. Laitman: Not much, to the extent that we can reveal the one that controls the world, “Alufo Shel Olam,” the master of the world. There are many ways in which we reveal the Creator, but here it says about the Master, the force that controls the whole reality.

Student: Meaning first we need to feel the aleph, meaning the Creator, in order to feel the exile. And then the Creator is revealed even more? Or how does this process happen?

M. Laitman: I don't like to run before the carriage and the horse. We'll reveal the reasons and how they are connected between them, and how they literally attract us, attracting us from one degree to the next.

Student: How do we need to start this process from below?

M. Laitman: From below we can only try to understand what is being revealed, and to what extent and try to be all together as a Ten.

Student: Is it worthwhile speaking about the importance of this thing and the Ten, the importance of the Creator?

M. Laitman: It's worth talking about the importance of the Creator and talking about this can be the only thing that's lacking. No matter how much you add, it won't be enough.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:52) In the matter of the source story, and how we learn it in one body, we learn that we need to relate to it as to one body, as all these discernments, Pharaoh, Moses, the nation of Israel, that are all inside. With whom does the person identify with in the story?

M. Laitman: In essence, with each one. If I want to reveal for myself this story, I have to go through each character.

Student: And it's also identified with Pharaoh?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course.

Student: In general, we can say that a person needs to identify the most. It's like in a movie. You're always identifying with the wicked ones. But you shouldn't aspire to identify with Moses, your point in the heart?

M. Laitman: Yes, let's say so.

Student: Why am I saying this? Because in the story there is this exodus within the exodus, and only after they reach the sigh do they cry out, only then Moses is born. Meaning there is this whole process of seven years of famine, etc., etc., and then Moses is born, and then he runs away, and it's like a really long process of how the point in the heart ripens and reaches a state that only afterward there is this exodus with the whole nation. So, do we also need to search for this process in a personal level as well?

M. Litman: It could be that that's the thing you won't be able to find, might not be able to find this. It's not revealed to everyone. This depends on the root of the soul. Of course, everything that's written in the Torah is revealed in us, but sometimes it can be revealed in such a way that it disappears in a second.

Student: This year we need to vex the good inclination over the evil inclination, and Russia says to make war with the evil inclination. What is that work specifically in the exile in Egypt when they receive blows?

M. Laitman: A man has to see before himself who he is walking with, who he is being drawn to, who he unites with. This is what a person has to do, to choose and strengthen the connection.

Student: How does a person carry out this action of making the evil inclination, of vexing it and making it angry? What do we do?

M. Laitman: When he disagrees with Him, when he does things on purpose, when he acts against the evil inclination, he precedes it seemingly, and makes him get out of the hole the evil inclination is in. And he walks forward in this way.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:59) Rabash writes about it that we ourselves cannot reveal the evil within ourselves. He even writes in the end that we need the Creator's help in order to reveal the evil. Why is it so?

M. Laitman: How can we reveal evil? First of all, if we, let's say, I am evil. How do I see it? I can’t see it. As you see what is evil around you, you can say about someone, about something, but it's not possible. It's impossible to see, but we have to try to reveal evil from our efforts to see what stands against us, and who stands against us. To decide that the Creator sends them the evil and stands against it.

Student: But if I have no evil, how do I turn to him that I need his help?

M. Laitman: But you hear that the ego, the desire to receive, is the evil that's in you.

Student: As if I turn to him in an artificial way?

M. Laitman: Let's say so. We start from this.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:44) You said that we need to take out the evil inclination out of the holes and to take them out by force, artificially or not. I need to ask the Creator to give me in each and every state the correction. Even if I don't feel it right now, I still need to do so. This demand that you said now, this basically causes me to reach a state of impurity, and in order to shorten this whole process to save time? If I demand all the time for this correction for myself?

M. Laitman: No, you can't demand corrections for the next degrees. Even if you ask this won't happen. You have to try to constantly think in a positive way about the Creator. And not that you are constantly in hatred towards evil. In hatred, you can't build anything. You have to ask the Creator to reveal the good. So, that we are attracted to the good and that this good is soaked up by your body. In this way, gradually you can include the evil inclination in relation to the good inclination in you. Otherwise, you reveal that you only include the bad, the evil, and only inside of yourself you are at sea. It's impossible to exist in it.

Student: So, if my daily request is, first of all, to continue to correct me, and I receive each and every state so that He will let me reach love. That He will let me, despite revealing my true inclination, despite that He will let me build more love? Like we say, that love will cover all transgressions? How do I ask it, that I want to build over it love, not for my evil inclination but for love to always be greater than my evil inclination?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. You'll see, and you'll reveal it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (31:35) He says that he's not prepared to feel any reality from his side. Each one lives in a reality. What is this true reality that he comes, and he says this is the truth. I develop on the way and my reality changes. My reality is at all times the truth for me.

M. Laitman: You're right. When the evil is revealed to him relative to the good, then he gradually reveals that there's certainly here a connection and opposition between the good and the evil and evil to the good, and in this way, he advances.

Student: The desire to move forward makes a person lazy. Is it possible to reveal if you're lazy?

M. Laitman: Why lazy? When a person feels bad if he wants to run away, then he does what he needs to do. By that no one is lazy.

Student: What should a person do if he doesn't feel bad? If he feels good?

M. Laitman: He needs to add exertion more and more until he starts to reveal that this addition of exertion reveals the bad in him, and in this way, he will advance.

Student: What should he invest in?

M. Laitman: Invest in the exertion, only in the connection with the good. In the meantime, that's it.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (34:10) Maybe you partly answered already. Here it says only when he wants to work, he receives help from above. I felt that the more you work the more you see that there's no desire. And the more you work the more you understand it, the more you see it. So, it turns out that there is this agreement also in the way that it is, to this quiet agreement to your efforts, and you work with the hope to receive this desire, this importance, but this is a calculation from the mind. My question is can I come to a true desire from this work, and can I use anger to this state to advance?

M. Laitman: Yes. The main thing is that we need to start.

Student: What does it mean to start?

M. Laitman: To start to work, that is to pray to the Creator for Him to be revealed as much as possible and for Him to show you your true state, and from that you will advance further.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (35:48) The suffering of love, is this also an evil inclination or is this an empty Kli?

M. Laitman: The suffering of love I think for now, it's a vessel that's not fully ready, and it’s not worthwhile for us to get stuck on such things, such high things.

Question (Tbilisi): (36:27) At the end of the day, after all the situations, man reveals that he needs faith. Can we talk about this, pass this on, or should each one come to this by himself?

M. Laitman: You can't, it's impossible to pass the quality of faith from one person to another.

Question (Latin 4): (37:32) Question about the text: Only those who yearn get help. In the list where it says what a man looks like when he fights with the evil inclination must be as fierce as a leopard, as light as an eagle, and so on.

M. Laitman: If we enter a war with these mutual actions with our evil inclination, then we will know and out of that we will learn.

Student: Can we reveal all this in unity?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Azerbaijan): (38:36) If a person is rewarded with getting a desire where he can't do anything, can't eat, can't sleep and he wants to come out of Egypt. What should he do? Should he try to infect others with this desire?

Moderator: The friend is asking the following: If a man is rewarded with a desire, is gifted with a desire to exit Egypt that is so strong that this Hissaron doesn’t let him eat or sleep, he just wants to come out of Egypt. In this state when a man feels this way what should he do with this Hissaron? Pass it on to the friends?

M. Laitman: No, he runs away. It's a desire to come out of Egypt and he runs out of Egypt. He cannot pass it or connect with anyone. He just has this sorrow in front of him.

Question: (Women PT 33): (40:15) I feel more and more that everything we go through is because the Creator wants to make us similar to Him. Can we speed this up? This yearning for the Creator the way He yearns for us?

M. Laitman: We need to reach such a state.

Student: Right, the question is can we speed it up? This yearning to Him, the way He yearns for us?

M. Laitman: It's possible. Through the group, you can increase your yearning to the Creator above all the limits.

Student: It's clear that it's using the group. I'm not going to say what I do but there is something.

M. Laitman: There is nothing else and there is nothing else to search for.

Student: What I meant is inside the group.

M. Laitman: Within the group, there is. It's on the condition that all the friends will act, will play towards each other, will connect with each other, and will direct themselves together to the Creator. That's it.

Question (Women MAK 25): (41:46) How can we help each other to see our deficiencies in each other and correctly react to these situations?

M. Laitman: To reveal our states towards the Ten and in this way, you will always aspire after such groups that do it.

Student: So, we always have to give a better example.

M. Laitman: Of course, of course.

Question: (Women MAK): (42:37) How to correctly work with the bitterness of the ego in the Ten? Literally, chew it over and to desire to ask the Creator to exit the ego.

M. Laitman: Show your friends to what extent the Creator is revealed in us as a bitter part of our work, and in that way, we will be drawn to Him.

Student: What does it mean that the Ten agrees to go without any conditions, that this will bring us to a true prayer, that the Creator will hear us and will open an exit from Egypt?

M. Laitman: That's what is happening. The Ten agrees to be together and together to rise above its common ego.

Student: Our whole path is in faith above reason, so bestowal above reception. The more bestowal there is in action and intention, then the whole path has a foundation of bestowal that we can use to move forward. It's not some unstable foundation, but this is the way we achieve and acquire bestowal. So, I ask the Creator to give to my friend?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Question (Woman MAK 26): (44:09) When they didn't ask help from the Creator to come out. When they did ask, could they imagine what would happen afterward?

M. Laitman: No, a person cannot depict this to himself. In truth, he cannot.

Student: So, they asked for help because they felt bad, and they wanted to run away.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question: (Woman ITA): (44:45) You said that the Creator prepares us until we are ready. What does it mean that we will no longer be able to accept this, and we burst the cry from our hearts?

M. Laitman: The evil will get revealed to the same extent that we'll be able to correct it. And therefore, we don't need to ask for more and more revelation of the evil. The Creator will add it to the maximum level possible.

Question: (Woman Moscow 6): (45:46) In response to a friend's question, you said that relationships are built on hatred. And in the sources, those who love the Creator hate evil. How to do this correctly if it's not built on hatred?

M. Laitman: It’s talking about one’s inner qualities.

Question: (Woman Ukraine 2): (46:20) Now we heard in the lesson that we should accept the force of correction as the good that does good. When the force of rejection of the ego wakes up in relation to a friend, should I feel that I'm rejecting the force of correction from the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How to get used to not rejecting? How to catch this moment?

M. Laitman: Talk with your friends. This will influence us in the best possible way.

Student: How to push this rejection into an embrace of love?

M. Laitman: Afterwards wait first, correct it.

Question: (Woman Turkiye 7): (47:23) When I was at the beginning of my path, the articles, questions, and answers were answers to my desires and now it's as if I can't get any help. How can I strengthen myself?

M. Laitman: Now you truly reached. Now you have reached the problem itself, your ego, and you need to continue. You have strength, you have intellect, you have knowledge, and all the rest, whatever you need. You will receive it from your actions, from your efforts to come closer to spirituality. Therefore, everything depends on you. This is actually a good state.

Question (Woman Heb 2): (48:55) What's the difference between a shout to exit Egypt and a revelation of the Red Sea?

M. Laitman: We'll reach the parting of the Red Sea and then we'll see. Right now we don't even know what does it mean to shout to come out of Egypt.

Student: How is this expressed in the Ten?

M. Laitman: We'll talk about that as well.

Question (Woman MAK 30): (49:33) In the article it says, let him be mercy and show our true states that are bitter, and then we'll be able to be rewarded with salvation. And after we come out of Egypt and we're in Israel, are we still getting used to those around us and we don't try to run away from Egypt? We prefer someone else's work and not work for the Creator. What's the root of this? The root that he prefers the work of the foreigners?

M. Laitman: Because they remained in Egypt.

Student: And how can they come out of this?

M. Laitman: First this needs to be felt, to want it and to feel that they're in Egypt, in exile, and that this really buries them into the sand, into the ground. And afterward little by little, gradually, in such a way that each shall help his friend. We need to try to pull ourselves out of the sand and out of Egypt.

Student: This is possible if we all unite and each Ten tries to take itself from the sand and by this, we can show an example.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Woman MAK 113): (51:43) A friend before me asked the same thing I wanted to ask. I'll say it again. Have mercy upon us, when everything together is our Ten, in which we want to feel each other that we need each other, and in this is the attainment of the world. Is this correct?

M. Laitman: Yes, specifically like that.

Question: (Woman MAK 86): (52:29) I have a question about the evil inclination. We learned that we don't have enough law in the way we address the Creator. Should we ask for correction or about love or is this the same request because everything comes from None Else Besides Him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Moderator: (53:09) With regards to the evil inclination, what should we ask for?

M. Laitman: To burn it, to erase it, all those four types of death.

Question: (Woman MAK 86): (53:24) This feeling if I ask from the Creator to burn, to erase, I'm not asking for love, to cover it with love because we say that this is a feeling where the only thing that's lacking is love.

M. Laitman: You first want to get rid of what is causing harm.

Student: And then what?

M. Laitman: Then we'll talk about love.

Question (KabU 10): (53:58) I wanted to ask: One's feeling of separation from the world and inability to love the friends brings great frustration and sadness. I recognize that's my ego, but can I use that as fuel to compel us forward in the Ten, this inability to be able to even approach what love might be for the friends?

M. Laitman: No, it's impossible. But we can ask both for this and for that. I want to connect with the friends, and to connect with the Creator and to feel them truly in one embrace.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:27) I wanted to ask: All the forms of evil and everything we read about in the articles; everything is inside of us. And here it also speaks of infinite intention. The Creator created the desire to receive in us and even though we always fight with our ego, we’re just a desire to receive. Even I'm asking the question from the ego. And since we are studying the evil inclination, my question is what is the correct intention? What is it like in our state?

M. Laitman: We need to pass through the whole path that’s spoken about in the Torah, through that nation that came down to Egypt and was in Egypt and came out of Egypt in that story and reached that Mount Sinai, and that's how it is. We need to pass through all these things in the feeling that this is how it needs to be. Out of that, out of us learning about it and feeling all these things, how it passes over us. Then we'll be able to ask more and learn more. And by us learning and raising these things above ourselves, by that, we basically correct them. That's it. This is our work.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:55) I heard in the lesson that the system works in such a way that when I'm ready the system will reveal to me that I only love myself and I've only ever loved myself and from this state, I can truly raise a true prayer. But here it says that then they were rewarded with Pesach to step over, to pass over and this means a step to the next degree. It takes me a long time to reveal that I only love myself and then there's a jump to get back.

M. Laitman: No, and the way back is also not so fast, but you feel when you're making those efforts that it's happening because of them.

Student: And what jump does this speak of this Passover?

M. Laitman: Pesach. Passover, the word itself is a leap forward.

Student: Many, many jumps?

M. Laitman: No, no, just one. All the rest are not called by this name.

Student: Can we compare this transition, is this like crossing Machsom, or something else?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's like passing the barrier, passing that Red Sea.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (59:36) I remember you said that the desire to receive is preserved until the very end. You're sitting at the table at a meal, and someone gets more food and you perform these calculations. So, my question is: Which part of the desire and intention comes out of Egypt? Where do jump and where will it be the same way as it's always been?

M. Laitman: I don't know what remains, what always remains there in Egypt, but when a person comes out of Egypt, he wants to take everything with him. Whatever is revealed to him, whatever he is given, whatever he is sent off with. I don't know. I can just say that practically everything is taken away.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:49) To help us get out of the exile He reveals our true desire, but we can always ask the Creator to reveal good. How do we work with the evil inclination after this?

M. Laitman: We'll go through that. Ahead of us we still have a few more holidays and we'll go through it. We basically just started. This exodus out of the ego will rise to a certain level and then more and more and more. It's all there. It's all the path of the sons of Israel from their beginnings to the end of correction.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:01:53) If we shouldn't get stuck in this state, where should we be?

M. Laitman: You feel love. You cannot dictate that it should be this way or that way. Your feeling itself determines your state. We'll come closer to this, we'll feel it and we'll see what's suitable for us.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:32) You said that the lights of Pesach increase the necessity to come out. We feel that the lessons are very strong. How do we come to this necessity, this bitterness, of spiritual bitterness?

M. Laitman: That you must come out of Egypt? You need to think more. There’s a tape or whatever; the lesson is saved for you. Try to hear it a few more times.

Student: I've been here for many years.

M. Laitman: That doesn't mean anything. I'm also here for many years.

Student: I say, what is this bitterness? These are corporeal things. We come to Pesach. I’m sick of this work in the corporeal, there's nothing spiritual here. What is this bitterness in the spiritual?

M. Laitman: Because you're working on it without any intention. What is it to clean the house on Passover and to prepare yourself for Passover? This is work. It's hard work and it depends on a person, how he invests.

Student: What intention should we hold on to at each moment during Pesach?

M. Laitman: Now it's already rolling forward. But beforehand there was great work.

Student: What intention should we hold on to?

M. Laitman: Why are you doing it? What does it mean, this cleaning? What does it mean to separate between the Klipah and the food and nourishment?

Student: All of these things are very difficult.

M. Laitman: At the end of the day we come to a state where we cannot get rid of this Hametz.

Student: There's no such thing as possible. As much as they gave us and permitted us, it's impossible, as you said. How? What to do? I want to act to come out of exile. What do I do?

M. Laitman: You need for that to be in the group. You need to feel the friends and together, everyone together, each one adds their desire to the others. And in this way, in each one, there's a desire that's ten times more.

Student: My friends can't always come to the lesson in the Ten.

M. Laitman: They don't need to come, but I'll make a calculation of who comes and who doesn't. In any case, we can hear, and record, this is possible.

Student: Can we do something practical?

M. Laitman: You’re saying that you've been here for many years already, but you don't hear how we're working. There are lessons and afterward there are meals and more, all sorts of events. And a person, somehow, if he's not isolated inside, then he enters easily into all of these different things.

Student: In this order, it's good. I don't have any necessity to come out of this. I feel good in Bnei Baruch. So, how will I want to come out? Where will this necessity come from to reveal the spiritual world?

M. Laitman: You're not in Bnei Baruch if you don't feel the need to reach that upper world. Truly so.

Student: So, where am I then?

M. Laitman: Between heaven and earth.

Student: That's exactly my feeling. I'm neither here nor there, so I want to come out, to be in Bnei Baruch.

M. Laitman: So, you need to add a bit more effort.

Student: How? Is it internal?

M. Laitman: How? You’re supposed to work, where you start to jump.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:07:55) In essence, we feel this bitterness when we try to come out to bestowal. This bitterness is in me, this is the evil in me. What's the correct prayer? How do I make a discernment why I feel bad?

M. Laitman: Well, what can we answer?

Student: I feel there is some place where one cannot annul oneself. Is this some kind of a request to correct my state or some gratitude towards the Creator? What's the main thing?

M. Laitman: What are you lacking?

Student: To see the evil in me. To see that I feel bad and see what's wrong with me.

M. Laitman: Meaning, that's what you lack. You don't see that.

Student: Sometimes this happens.

M. Laitman: And if you connect with a few more friends and you speak about it, or even without speaking, because in general it's forbidden to speak about it. So, then you don't feel like praying?

Student: Even when I listen to lessons, I unite with the friends. The prayer is constant, but I don't see the evil in me. I see that the prayers help us open our hearts to see the friends, to see the ego.

M. Laitman: We'll need to open up the articles of Rabash letters, and to take out from there the content.

Question: (Woman MAK 62): (01:11:03) In the article it says for a man can receive help from the Creator, he needs to first feel the bitterness of this. And the bitterness of this is impossible to feel because the person doesn't feel that he must do anything and only thanks to the Creator he can see his true state. But sometimes to see his true state, this takes several years, and you understand in the process that you are not going after this goal, that now you'll receive help from the Creator. Time passes and only through this realization he will be rid of this. Then help comes from above. I wanted to ask then how can we come to a common desire in the Ten to get rid of this ego if not everyone's time has come. It's impossible to pass on this experience, this faith you've acquired. But we have to be in unity. What should we concentrate on?

M. Laitman: That you are in one group. So, focus on that. And it cannot be that you are in the same degrees, and everyone is similar to each other. Only your desire to become similar to each other will make out of you a Ten. And in the Ten, there could be very different people, different qualities. It's okay.

Student: This will help us to unite?

M. Laitman: It will all help. The Creator basically connects everything and everyone.

Question (Moldova): We spoke about this today. Those who love the Creator hate evil, but we shouldn't pay attention to whether we hate evil. We just have to strive for love between friends, to you, to the Creator, and hatred towards evil will just be revealed as something that gets in the way of the love.

M. Laitman: Correct.

Question (Women Latin): (01:14:35) With regards to the text where he says, these three things you didn't do during Pesach, and you didn't perform Mitzvah. I understand that Pesach and Maror. What does Matzah mean on this level of Pesach?

M. Laitman: Matzah is the bread that was eaten in Egypt, that in it is just flour and water, and there is nothing else besides that. And therefore, this is a symbol for coming out of slavery into freedom.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:15:38) He says that he can come to a group. What does he mean by someone from outside?

M. Laitman: There are such that are with us, but they don't quite enter. They are not connecting to the lessons and to the general public.

Student: This means something more internal, this loneliness, you feel like you are disconnected in your feelings. How to go against this?

M. Laitman: Only through the friends that will guard you.

Student: What to ask from the friends?

M. Laitman: For them to help me. I can't come out of myself. I want to hug them. I want to be in the center of the society. I want to feel that I am truly surrounded by the friends, and it's not happening. It's only the society that can make it happen.

Question (Azerbaijan): (01:17:03) You said in the lessons we should try and be similar to the friends. When we elevate the friends, we become similar the way we do it to the Creator. Do you understand correctly?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (MAK 24): (01:17:35) How to define that the upper world is not a replacement of one illusion to another?

M. Laitman: When you will pass to there, you will see that it is filled with a greater clarity than our world.

Question (Women Turkiye 10): (01:18:13) I feel sometimes that I am not doing enough. I am not adequate for this. My environment and the path, how do I move forward with such feelings?

M. Laitman: You don't have to answer that. You simply need to be more connected with the group, and with the group to perform the whole daily order, all of the appeals and all of your work. To do it with the group, meaning to connect with them. Then they’re doing it and you’re doing it, and in this way, you hold each other.

Question: (Women ITA): (01:19:18) Question from a friend. If I continually fall into evil, or rather I get worse, what kind of job is this?

M. Laitman: It's a work to feel the evil that's in you. It's necessary in order to start to ask to get rid of it.

Question (Women Kavkaz 1): (01:20:13) My evil depends on my desire to receive?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, yes.

Student: The freedom is perceived as a desirable dependence?

M. Laitman: No, no. This is one. And afterward it will become one.

Question: (Women MAK 105): (01:20:43) Why in the context of unity, good lies are better than the bitter truth? Is this better? Should we play here?

M. Laitman: You're correct. We need to clarify it.

M. Laitman: What else are we doing?

Moderator: (01:21:05) We can finish the lesson now if you want, it’s according to your desire.

Moderator: (01:21:31) Reads schedule and announcements. We will finish up with a song.

Song: (01:22:40)
