Part 1 Rabash. Record 645. By Your Actions, We Know You

Hello everyone, we are studying from Rabash articles, part 3. The article: By Your Actions, We Will Know You. Article Number 645. You can ask questions on Arvut and find the study material for Arvut and Siva Tova.

Reading Article: (00:27) By Your Actions, We Will Know You.

It is known that the purpose of the creation of the worlds is to do good to His creations. It is also known that we speak only of what extends from Him, but in Him, Himself, there is no thought or perception. Accordingly, we should understand why we say that the thought of creation is to do good to His creations, since we do not attain His thoughts, as it is written, “My thoughts are not your thoughts.”

However, we should say as in the known rule, “By Your actions, we know You.” It was interpreted that through the actions, we know His thoughts. Since the righteous of the world were rewarded with all the delight and pleasure, by this act they concluded that such was His intention: It is to do good to His creations.

It therefore follows that everything we say is only from the place where there is a connection between the Creator and the created beings, where the act is already apparent in the created beings, as in the verse, “You have made them all with wisdom.” That is, we are speaking only from the perspective of actions, as it is written in the Poem of Unification, “By Your actions, we know You.” However, we have no utterance or a word to speak of the Creator without His created beings, as was said, “There is no thought or perception of Him whatsoever.”

Accordingly, why should we not ask why we say that Creation does not add anything to Him, so why did He create it if it does not add anything, since this question is asking whether the Creator had a need for Creation before He created it? It follows that we want to speak of Him prior to creation, meaning before there was a connection between the Creator and the created beings, and we said above that prior to this connection, “there is no thought or perception whatsoever.”

However, we see that this was His intention. The proof of this is that He gives us abundance when we are ready to receive the King’s gift, and there will not be any flaw in the gift, meaning when the bread of shame is not felt in the gift, namely when man’s intention is only for the sake of the Creator.

At that time, when one receives from the Giver, it is also with the above-mentioned aim, meaning that he wants to receive the King’s gift because he feels that this is His will, and not for the sake of self-benefit, and then he is rewarded with receiving all the delight and pleasure.

And to add clarification, it is as it is written, “The whole earth is full of His glory,” as it is written in The Zohar, “There is no place vacant of Him.” Yet, we do not feel it for our lack of tools of sensation.

We can see that with a radio receiver, which receives all the signals in the world, the receiver does not create the sounds. Rather, the sound exists in the world, but before we had the receiving device, we did not detect the sounds although they did exist in reality.

Likewise, we can understand that “There is no place vacant of Him,” but we need a receiving device. That receiving device is called Dvekut [adhesion] and “equivalence of form,” which is a desire to bestow. When we have this machine, we will immediately feel that there is no place vacant of Him, but rather “The whole earth is full of His glory.”

M. Laitman: (05:44) This is the article. Very beautiful. Short, round. Maybe we will read again.

Moderator: (05:47) Re-reads article.

Question (Women MAK): (11:03) From Your action, we will know You. It turns out that from my small desire, I get to know Him. This is when an action of time and place, it is not the same point, it is development without rushing. And the ideal in every moment, my desire needs to be the same as His desire, and this is dissemination and study and so on. If, with external action we can reach completeness, what is the internal bestowal? That the intention of bestowal will appear, which means that the desire, the friend's desire will fulfill itself.

M. Laitman: Whatever you want to be realized.

Student: And if there are desires, how can we understand through the external actions that the friends are doing, because I am not the Creator and I can't feel it like Him. So, how correctly to come closer to each other? To the real desires that I understood that I can ask fulfillment from the Creator.

M. Laitman: Ask for yourself, ask for others; and slowly all of this will build in you into a decision.

Student: External actions and internal actions of bestowal, should be in synchronization?

M. Laitman: No, that cannot be, if it's an action of bestowal then it will come only as a de facto action of your decision.

Question (Women Italy): (13:40) The Creator is seen first of all in the creation, that is made with wisdom, from non-existence to existence. How can we best prepare our acceptance by the form of the Creator?

Question (Women Turkiye 8): (14:48) The article said, by your actions we will know you.

How can we feel these actions, how can we perceive what the Creator wants?

Question (Women MAK 98): (15:34) It is said in the text that everything we speak is where there is a connection between the creation and the Creator. How can we find this place?

M. Laitman: This is called a connection between the created being and the Creator, or between the Creator and the created being. That's the only thing we can talk about, we cannot just speak about the Creator or just speak about the created being. We are speaking about the connection between them.

Question (Women MAK 104): (16:28) The Creator gave us all the goodness, delights and pleasure, He gave us the group, His group, the Ten, and everything within it is great.

Are we bestowing to the Creator and how can we strengthen this connection?

M. Laitman: You can strengthen this connection only by being together, and if you connect as one man in one heart, all your actions and all your desires will be in order to bestow to the Creator. What is it between you, what is there between you that you can bestow to the Creator? Raise to Him your request.

Question (Women Turkiye 5): (17:23) It is stated in the article that there is no thought of perception in Himself. Is there a world, like the one we perceive in the Creator's perception, if not, what are we struggling for?

Question (Women Moscow 5): (18:06) How did our sages come to the conclusion that from Your actions we will know You? And that will do good to Your creations? How did they know that we need to connect in order to feel it?

M. Laitman: All of that, they received from the Creator; they raised to Him a prayer and asked, what do we need to do in order to be closer to You, in order for You to be happy with us? And He would answer them, try the same thing between yourselves. To connect and to ask from Him, and He will answer you and give you the same.

Question (Women MAK 25): (19:044) What should change in us that we will start to slowly feel that we are changing? And come closer to the equivalence of form with the Creator?

Question (MAK 25): (22:23) It is written in the article that the person cannot attain the thought. Why do we have so many thoughts on the path?

M. Laitman: Specifically, thanks to the thoughts, we are coming closer to Him. But the Creator Himself, we cannot understand in our thoughts.

Student: So, we don't even need to strive for it?

Question (Hadera 1): (26:29) We always say that we need to feel the opposite, sometimes. But there are two different systems that need to work at the same time and one without the other, it does not work properly. That's the question.

M. Laitman: Yes, but here the intention is towards a different understanding.

Question (Women Kyiv 7): (27:27) In order to be aimed to the Creator, we need to pray for a few hours. So, how to shorten this time in order to be in constant connection with Him and the friends?

Student: So, we can receive the Creator?

M. Laitman: No, we cannot attain the essence of the Creator, we cannot attain the essence at all, where do we attain the essence? We, in our desires, can only gather, collect, all sorts of perceptions of our impressions. Meaning, our desires under different influences change and the changes in the desires are what we feel.

Or is it already an addition on the side of the created beings, that my sons have defeated me?

M. Laitman: No, it was there at the beginning with the Creator's thoughts, and therefore, He created the will to receive, broke it to many parts. That each part is us, and each and every one of us can correct himself. And afterwards we connect and come together to one vessel.

Student: I want to turn to the Creator but most of the time I cannot turn to the Creator. I really want to turn to the Creator from the bottom of my heart and I don't know how I can do that.

Question (Women Hebrew 2): (52:27) What is the difference between the corporeal perception and the spiritual perception in thought, action, and speaking?

M. Laitman: What type of exercises, to be closer to each other. To talk about how we turn to the Creator, what do we ask from Him? This kind of an example is from group to group. This is beneficial.

Question (Women Piter): (54:19) How can we examine that we're coming to purify our deficiency, to be in a purified deficiency to the Creator?

M. Laitman: In the measure that you enter your feelings into the prayer, it will happen.

Student: What does it mean that the Creator is above our desires?

M. Laitman: That is not important, He fills all the desires, from below, upwards.

Question (Women MAK 97): (54:59) There is such a feeling that the Creator is elevating those who resemble Him in this world. Can we say that all of us need to become as creators, according to the thought of creation?

M. Laitman: No, that's not correct, what we need to do is to reach a state where we understand Him, we feel Him. Just like how we feel between us, how we feel everyone between us.

Question (Kyiv): (55:40) We speak about feeling the common desire. I see in the Ten how the friends are making efforts to build a common prayer. How can I, with my deficiency, strengthen this prayer?

M. Laitman: Connect to them.

Student: How does that happen, what is the mechanical side of it?

M. Laitman: Ask them what are they asking for, you hear that, right? And then you'll see if you can join it or not with priority to find the reason to join the prayer.

Question (Women MAK 56): (56:32) What gives the world and the person, as Rabash describes. That we perceive this frequency and we begin to feel what is already in reality. What does that give us?

Question (German): (57:22) Is there a spectrum within the intention?

M. Laitman: Yes, from very small to something completely obsolete.

Student: Is there such a frequency?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, we need to come to the conclusion that if the feeling is not complete, then we cannot come to the goal.

M. Laitman: Well, yes, you can partially; but yes, you can.

Student: Is there a difference between a correct intention and a clean intention?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: What is the difference between an intention that is connected with Ein Sof but I do not come to the thought of creation?

M. Laitman: There are many like that, there are many thoughts like that. But after all, we need to try to raise them all above.
