Part 3: Connecting for the Sake of Humanity.

Reader: We are reading selected excerpts on the topic of Connecting for the Sake of Humanity, item number five. The study material is also in Arvut, where you can also ask questions. Anyone asking a question in the study hall should stand up, hold the microphone close to his mouth and speak loudly and clearly.

Reading: (00:30) Excerpt 5. Baal HaSulam, "The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee] - Twice

And you see that the words “a kingdom of priests” express the complete form of the work on the axis of “Love your friend as yourself,” meaning a kingdom that is all priests, that the Creator is their possession, and they have no self-possession of all the mundane possessions. We must admit that this is the only definition through which we can understand the words, “a kingdom of priests”.

Re-Reading: (01:18)

Reading: (02:13) Excerpt 6. Baal HaSulam, Love for the Creator and the Love for the Created Beings

The Israeli nation was to be a “passage.” This means that to the extent that Israel cleanse themselves by observing the Torah, so they pass their power on to the rest of the nations. And when the rest of the nations also sentence themselves to the side of merit, the Messiah will be revealed, whose role is not only to qualify Israel to the ultimate goal of Dvekut with Him, but to teach the ways of the Creator to all the nations, as it is written, “And all nations will flow unto Him.”

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:20) What does it mean that the nations of the world will sentence themselves to the side of merit?

M. Laitman: That they'll understand what's happening in the nation of Israel.

Student: And does it somehow depend on us, if they sentence themselves to the side of merit? Or is it their action?

M. Laitman: It's their action but we must advertise our work.

Reading: (03:57) Excerpt 7. Letters of the Raaiah, Vol. 3

We are called upon to unite the world. But before we unite the living, material world, we are called upon to discover the program of the spiritual unity, which is the secret of our essence.

Reading: (04:28) Excerpt 8. Baal HaSulam, "Introduction to the Book Panim Meirot uMasbirot", Item 22.

One does not live for oneself, but for the whole chain. Thus, each and every part of the chain does not receive the light of life into itself, but only distributes the light of life to the whole chain.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:58) You said that because of our pride, we cannot feel the trembling that exists in the people, in the nation. So, let's say now, we do become incorporated with trembling in the people. What should we do with this sorrow?

M. Laitman: Nothing, incorporate.

Student: But, how can we be a conduit or a passageway, what can we ask?

M. Laitman: We need to equip ourselves to be the most successful in dissemination; and to explain to everyone, to each and every Israeli, that our role is to reveal the state of the final correction to the whole world. And it depends on each and everyone.

Student: How does it depend on each and everyone, what can a regular person do?

M. Laitman: Let them know about it. Let them hear about it, in these ways.

Student: And by incorporating with the people, how does their sorrow help us?

M. Laitman: It helps us draw the desires from the nation to correct them and incorporate with them.

Reading: (06:49) Excerpt No. 9, Baal HaSulam, "The Writings of the Last Generation" - Twice

The tenor of life, is to attain His adhesion, strictly to benefit the Creator, or to merit the public to reach adhesion with Him.

M. Laitman: Again.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:26) I wanted to ask about the merit of the public: If a person works all his life just to merit the public but he himself does not achieve adhesion. He doesn't succeed in realizing the adhesion himself.

M. Laitman: No, that's okay, that's okay because he still has scattered the wisdom to the whole nation. And a lot of people, thanks to that, have reached corrections.

Student: In the previous excerpt, we read that a person does not live for himself but for the whole chain. So, that too, how does it work because it turns out that at any point a person does not receive light for himself. It's always everything he does goes to others.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, how does the system work?

M. Laitman: That's how it works, that until the end of correction, no one gets anything, supposedly. But only in the end of correction, and the Lord will be King upon the land, and He and His name will be one.

Student: So, how do you become suitable to the system, if in the end you don't receive anything?

M. Laitman: But the laws of the system we're learning about.

Student: We learn them but I'm saying the need to receive doesn't disappear. There is still no change where your need becomes that for others to be fulfilled. You do things toward it but your desire to achieve adhesion, connection with the Creator, you don't lose it in any way.

M. Laitman: Because they pass it through me. I can't say, that's it, I'm delighted in mercy from today on, I have to be a vessel.

Student: I understand. So how can I be in the right vessel that wants everything to go through him to others, that he lives for that?

M. Laitman: To be in a certain type of equivalence of form with the Creator, that you'll be able to receive from Him. And be in equivalence of form with the others to bestow to them?

Student: And on what does the ability depend?

M. Laitman: A conduit, as he says.

Student: Clear, so, on what does your ability to be in equivalence of form with the Creator, on one hand, and with the creatures, the created beings, on the other hand? On what does it depend, how can I be this conduit?

M. Laitman: That I'm not demanding anything to myself but only to pass all my forces, the greatness of the goal and more, to the others.

Student: The transition, does he want to attain something, does he have a desire to attain?

M. Laitman: He only has a desire for the forces to be a conduit.

Student: That's his spiritual fulfillment, to be a conduit.

M. Laitman: Right.

Student: In the end, it still turns out that you're relinquishing everything.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How can you agree to relinquish everything, to give it all up?

M. Laitman: That's what's written and when you're in the system, it's no problem.

Student: That was my first question, how to be a suitable part of the system. How do you become a part of the system?

M. Laitman: By agreeing to be connected to everyone and to serve everyone.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:00) Why does he write, either adhesion with the Creator, or to merit the public? Shouldn't the person do both, is it enough to focus on just one?

M. Laitman: There's this type, and those types. For now, it's two goals.

Student: Can you say that it's a question of the root of the soul?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reading: (12:32) Excerpt 10, Degel Machaneh Ephraim, BeShalach [When Jacob Sent]

One who truly wants to serve the Creator must include himself with all creations, connect himself with all the souls, include himself with them, and they with him. That is, you should leave for yourself only what is needed for connecting the Shechina [Divinity], so to speak. This requires closeness and many people, for the more people serve the Creator, the more the light of the Shechina appears to them. For this reason, one must include himself with all the people and with all creations, and raise everything to their root, to the correction of the Shechina.

Reading: (13:32) Excerpt 11, RABASH, Article 11 (1987), "Purim, and the Commandment: Until He Does Not Know" - Twice

By causing the entire world to receive the delight and pleasure that exist in the purpose of creation. It follows that he has become a partner of the Creator in that through him will come the assistance by which everyone will achieve the purpose of creation.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (14:35) Is it correct to look at it as two degrees? That by working to merit the public you'll be able to reach adhesion, afterwards?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reading: (14:51) Excerpt 12, Maor Eynaim, Yitro [Jethro]

It is known that the whole world, with all created beings, must receive their vitality from the Creator all the time and at any given moment. Therefore, it is appropriate and fitting for the righteous to be a medium between the Creator and the entire world, to connect everything to Him, to make a pathway and a track, a passage for the abundance and vitality, and a pipeline to pour down to all created beings. He is the one who unites heaven and earth, who connects the whole world to the Creator, so they will not part from Him.

M. Laitman: Again.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:59) The more we read these excerpts, the more it seems to me, like it's too big for me. I'm too small to do these things, to bestow upon the created beings, upon the whole world.

M. Laitman: So, what do you recommend?

Student: Well, in the end, it comes down to a prayer but from where do I even look at such greatness? I can point to very few people who can bestow like that.

M. Laitman: So?

Student: So, who am I to be a part of such a system? Kingdom of priests, bestowal upon the created beings?

M. Laitman: We're all like you.

Student: The Creator expects me to do this.

M. Laitman: He's expecting, so make some efforts, that's it. What's written, when a person reaches the next world, he's asked.

Student: Did you engage in the Torah?

M. Laitman: Engage in the Torah, did you expect salvation, that's it. So, you say that a few hours in the morning, you're engaging with two, three hundred, how many are here, men. And for you, that's the main thing.

Student: It's a great thing for me.

M. Laitman: Great, okay, and as you, the others, too.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:00) I heard, before, that you said that we have to depict the end of correction to the nation, to the people.

M. Laitman: Could be.

Student: What does that mean?

M. Laitman: I don't know, not to buy some canvas and start painting Gmar Tikkun on it, with Moses in the middle and the Creator above him and we're below, that's not what I meant. A person needs to depict himself, a whole system of heaven and earth. And how it's all connected in receiving and bestowing, in its final way, final form.

Student: This is us, and throughout the lesson I've heard, I've been hearing questions like, we are in a bubble, and the people on the outside. So, on the one hand, there's no point going out, because we have to be here. But on the other hand, we do have to depict to them the end of correction. What does it mean to depict to them the end of correction?

M. Laitman: To explain, explain because there's such opinions about the end of correction and correction of the souls, altogether, that you can go crazy from hearing all that. So, we need to explain it in a simple way, you know, very simple, that people won't be afraid to come close to it.

Student: To tell them about the good connection between people and the results of it?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's all about the connection.

Student: And the revelation of the power of nature between us?

M. Laitman: The revelation of nature, revelation of love and connection; that's the main thing, love your friend as yourself.

Student: So, we should depict something good to people, that's good and real?

M. Laitman: Good and clear, that it's understood.
