Daily Lesson (Afternoon), March 2, 2024

Part 2:  Rabash Article No. 41. (1989) “The Daily Schedule.”

Reader: Shalom, we are reading the writings of Rabash, Volume Two, in the Hebrew Edition, page 964. The Article, “The Daily Schedule.” You can find the study materials in the Kabbalahgroup.info and on the Arvuit system. You can also send your questions there. Anyone asking questions in the study hall should stand up, hold the mic close to their mouth, and speak loudly and clearly.

Reading Article: (00:31)

1) Midnight Correction: to mourn over the exile of the Shechina [Divinity].

2) Establish the faith in quantity and quality.

3) Concerning the bad: Depict the suffering and pain that the bad causes in the worlds above and below, in this world, that it inflicts death upon the created beings, and causes suffering to all of creation. For this reason, the bad of the individual causes the general, since the general and the individual are equal and there is no difference between them.

4) Also, to hate the evil because “You who love the Lord, hate evil, who preserves the souls of His followers; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked,” and his aim will be to separate the bad completely.

5) Depict the state of the souls that are robbed, and ask for mercy for them.

6) Depict the exaltedness of the Creator.

7) Depict the love in manners of revealing love.

8) The order of the learning should be Lishma [for Her sake]. This means that he wants the learning to bring him the light of Torah so the light will reform him, as our sages said, “The light in it reforms him.” Without help from above, a person cannot work in true faith and bestowal, without fooling himself saying that he has faith in the Creator, and he is ready to work in order to bestow without the Creator’s help, for only “the light in it reforms him.”

For this reason, it is good to dedicate a fixed time for learning only matters that speak of faith and bestowal, since when he learns these matters, he clings to such thoughts and then it is easier to accept to cling to the light of Torah.

However, we obtain this only to the extent that we work on hating evil. Hating evil is called “doers of His word,” and the light of Torah is called “to hear the voice of His word.” Both together are wholeness, for everything must [consist of] two things: right and left, meaning the hatred of evil and the love of the good, which is like light and Kli [vessel].

Re-reading the Original Source: (5:50) “1) Midnight Correction: to mourn over…”

Student: (11:00) It’s saying to depict the suffering that the evil causes, depict the state of the souls that are robbed, depict the exaltedness of the Creator, and depict the love. What does it mean to depict, what is the importance, what does it give us?

M. Laitman: By a person depicting to the extent that the Sitra Achra is revealed and lowers him in everything he has more strength to hate it and come close to the good. Therefore, depicting the exaltedness of the Creator on one hand, and the other hand, what descents and falls the Sitra Achra are giving him. To depict the love of the Creator and against the hatred for evil, and in this way, through these two extremes, one reaches Lishma. Yes, we can hold on to this and advance this way to the truth.

Student: (12:44) Why did Rabash call it the daily schedule? It's like each day every day we have to think about how to hate evil and love the good, yes? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

 

Student:  Nothing beyond what he says here, one, two, three, that's what we're going to do every day when we develop ourselves.

M. Laitman: This is the direction we need to be aimed throughout the day. Where through a day, we go in this way, through all that happens to us, all that is and stands before us, and that's the essence, that's the main thing. It's not that attainment of this is everything, but the direction, yes.

Student: (13:49) In the Ten, there are all kinds of friends, there are those who lean towards hating evil, talking about our nature, and how we're unable to do things. Then our friends who are the opposite, always depict the exaltedness of the Creator, the greatness. The question is, can we complete one another, can we work like this?

M. Laitman: That's also correct, but we need to take both from this and from that, all those things, and from them, make a middle line. 

Student: (14:38) It says, hating the evil means doers his work. Why does hating evil mean doing his work? 

M. Laitman: That first, we need to hate the evil. In hating the evil, we are already beginning to disconnect from it and be ready to advance toward the good. That is our way.

Student: (15:16) Let's continue with the question about the depictions. What does it mean? It's thoughts, it's speech, relative to myself, to the friends, but what does it mean to depict?

M. Laitman: In all the possible ways that you can take out of yourself something, some connection to these things, you have to do it.

Student: So, it's externally or internally? 

M. Laitman: The fact that it's internal, it's clear, but also outwardly.

Student: (15:54) A question from a friend following up on hating the evil and doing his work. How do you work on hating the evil? 

M. Laitman: As he writes it, depicts all the evil that we receive that causes us disconnection from the Creator, the descent in degrees, where we become closed inside a dark cell. So, we have to depict it to oneself in all possible ways and against that depict what good could be from there if we address him, and appeal to him.

Student: (16:46) So, to be good means to depict the good that we can get out of the greatness and exaltedness of the Creator. 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: Another question, what does it mean in item two, the quantity and quality of faith?

M. Laitman: This is like in every force it could be understood to us both in quantity and in quality. This way also this force of the force that disconnects us from the upper reality, the exile of the Shechina. So, in quantity and quality to what extent it’s in exile?  

Student: How do you measure quantity and quality of faith? 

M. Laitman: For the time being we don't have the possibility to do that, but later we will also discover and be able to measure it. 

Student: What does it mean to depict the suffering and pain that the bad causes in the worlds above? How can we even cause pain in the worlds above? 

M. Laitman: We do this because we are connected to the Creator who is our source. We are close to our source the Creator from which we come from. We come and according to our behavior for the good or for the bad can God forbid these changes can either cause in a bad way or with His help, something good? 

Student: Do we need to believe it? 

M. Laitman: I think for the time being we need to believe what our sages told us and then to attain it.

Student: How do we correct this sorrow? 

M. Laitman: We correct it by wanting upon each and every state to try and overcome and aim ourselves in the direction of the Creator. Bestow, love, and connection.

Student: (19:25) The first item is the Midnight Correction to mourn over the exile of the Shechina. In the article There Is None Else Besides Him, the second part, is entirely about the sorrow of divinity. Why is it so important to mourn the exile of the Shechina? 

M. Laitman: That's the state from which we begin and that's the state we're caring for, tending to, and to the extent in which we can pray and want and draw the Shechina from out of exile that it's in in in exile amongst the vessels of reception the desires to receive, etc. So, by that, we arrange a place between us for nearing the Creator. 

Student: (20:40) In the second paragraph it says, that hating evil is called “doers of His word,” and the voice of His word and the word of Torah means, the light of Torah means to hear the voice of His word.  So, what does that mean? What is this work in the Ten of hating the evil? What does it mean doers of His word in the Ten?

M. Laitman: That we together in the connection between us want to establish some good quality and by it work against the concealment of the Creator. 

Student: What does it mean to hear His word in the Ten? 

M. Laitman: Until we come to a state that we don't just connect between us in the Ten as it is felt in us but also we all start to hear the voice of the Creator. That's the degree of Bina already, where we rise above our nature and hear Him.

Student: What does it mean to depict the state of the suffering, the robbed souls, and ask for mercy for them? Who are those souls that are robbed? 

M. Laitman: The souls that are robbed is to depict to oneself the extent in which there are robbed souls in the evil incarnation and to the extent in which they make efforts and are not capable of emerging from there.

Student: Is it us?

M. Laitman: I don't know, whoever is there asking for mercy. 

Student: (23:08) If we had this instance there was a fight between people it comes from the ego, and you see that it's the ego and you ask the Creator to correct it. What you said when the friend asked that it harms the Shechina, the Shechina is in sorrow. We work from the ego and from the evil you are asking for a correction here. Does it mean that we are turning the evil into good? What's happening here? 

M. Laitman: What exactly? Yes, we make efforts in order to draw ourselves from the evil that's impacting us.

Student: And that gives joy to the Shechina? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Before this state happens the anger, we have to learn not to be angry, not to fight. How can I more and more identify and detect the evil before it erupts? What can I do? 

M. Laitman: Maybe that's from your previous experience but if not, you have no possibility.

Student: Can I ask for it? 

M. Laitman: You can always ask. 

Student: (24:50) In order to distance ourselves from the evil what action do we start from? A request for restriction? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: (25:14) The order of the actions stems from Aleph, or from one, item one because the beginning of the work is from the feeling of the exile of the Shechina. So, when the person feels it, then he has the order of the work, the schedule, recognition of evil, prayer, study, everything for the sake of that. Now, each person has to catch himself feeling the exile of the Shechina. Is that luck? Or an observation? Where does the beginning start from?

M. Laitman: In the feeling. In his feeling where he starts to feel his state in a little more real state, from bad to good.

Student: (26:17) If in the beginning, I feel some evil, it's evil that I feel with myself because it's not the sorrow of divinity that I feel early on because to feel the sorrow of divinity I need to love the Creator. I need to be in some form of love of the good otherwise I don't feel bad in this connection from Him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do we come to love? 

M. Laitman: We don't already come to love but in order to reach love I hear the words of our sages that say that this thing can develop only in the connection through the connection between us. Connection is also we begin with a mechanical connection at first without feeling and then gradually as we start to look at the friends, we are impressed by what they do and this is how we also come to feeling.

Student: And then inside the connection, we feel the sorrow of the Shechina?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's why it's called Love Covers All Crimes.

Student: (27:49) How to distinguish between hating evil and a state where a person is hating himself and is tormenting himself destructively? 

M. Laitman: Hating the evil is a general state that we talk about depicting the feeling and the action, and when it comes to a person, he does it he executes it.

Student: How to separate hating the evil and hating yourself? Getting to places where?

M. Laitman: Before a person performs an action, he needs to see the extent in which it's in him. To what extent he wants to separate from that, and only then he does.

Student: (28:57) The one before last; first off I say that, we speak often about our goal which is to aim ourselves to draw the reforming light, that's the action that is definitely working on us so he's writing, therefore it's good to dedicate fixed time for learning only matters that speak of faith and bestowal since when he learns these matters he clings to such thoughts. Then he writes that it is easier to accept to cling to the light of the Torah. The question is how can we draw more light that will change us, does a person have a relationship with the light like a volume knob that he can turn and control?

M. Laitman: A person on his own doesn't really have that but if we connect between us, talk about it, and with our hearts together turn to receive the reforming light then for sure yes we will merit.

Student: we hear it often if I think of all of our gatherings in the Ten and our actions to be in the lesson any action really, or when a person opens a book; I don't feel this influence it's something that's working on a person in concealment?

M. Laitman: Because you're not attempting to concentrate all your individual efforts to one effort.

Student: How do we do it?

M. Laitman: Also, by bringing all the hearts together to be drawn to this more.

Student: These efforts are efforts to draw light for everyone. Does everyone want to draw it for his friends?

M. Laitman: Every effort is for our efforts where they will all connect and connect us and unite us and raise us together.

Student: Each one needs to draw light to connect everyone and raise everyone?

M. Laitman: It's possible like that and it's possible another way, where we're already here to begin with wants to connect and to ask for one desire and that this big special desire will influence us all.

Student: We all want to ask about the quality of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Let's say, yes.

Student: (32:02) What is the difference between items 6 and 7, depicting the exaltedness of the Creator and depicting love and the manners of revealing love assuming the Creator is love?

M. Laitman: A very big difference depicting the exaltedness of the Creator can be disconnected from us, it can be that it will be revealed in the future between us, it's the greatness of the Creator the exaltedness of the Creator and 7 depicting love in a manner of revealing love so that we don't know what that is yet but at least we can depict this matter of according to the manners of love, we all connect together and then are separating from all the differences and all those calculations between us but the main thing is the love that brings us connection above everything.

Student: A little bit like a vessel in the light?

M. Laitman: Let's say.

Student: (33:37) Can we say that this is the order of the work of the left line, to give us an opportunity to receive in order to bestow in the work of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: (34:02) If we know that our role is to feel every day to be in contact with the Creator, how can we do it from the zero level we didn't attain it and we didn't receive it and we weren't rewarded; if I understood from the article, there is another path which is if we are sitting together and we are trying to scrutinize and awaken ourselves toward the path and recognition of the concept of love and everything that has to do with what we know in our vessels. If we talk about it in the ten, how do we build the connection between us and the Creator, because let's say we didn't deserve it and each one personally doesn't matter where she is at, but I understood the advice that together we can awaken it somehow and be in contact with Him on our part and the connection between us?

M. Laitman: We need to depict the matter of the distancing and the matter of connection above the distancing and the extent in which it's close to us and is realistic for us to attain. All of this is achieved by raising the exaltedness of the Creator above us and in the gap between the exaltedness of the Creator and us, we can awaken spirituality and the degree of spirituality and to want to adhere to it as much as possible and then out of this gap understand what degree of Lishma of ours should be in order to bestow without anything in return to ourselves in disconnection from the desire to receive and only for the desire to bestow and by that we do attain all the order of the study that Rabash wrote about here about.

Student (Barcelona): (37:23) From the heart of Barcelona we want to send you our love and a question. Where is the boundary between the border between hating the evil and hating oneself like a fool who is sitting idly tormenting himself, where is the line between these two states?

M. Laitman: If I turn to my friends, then they will necessarily hear me.

Student (Eng 1): (38:32) How do we map this daily schedule onto our day-to-day lives and how literally should we take Rabash's instructions on each of these points?

M. Laitman: We will just start and then we will see how we can observe some of the conditions that are written here and accordingly determine that this comes before this and only this after that and we will think about all of that, and we will think that way.

Student: At some point in the future could you break out what each of these means maybe in a different lesson I feel like there is everything in this article and I want to make sure we get everything that is there.

M. Laitman: Here the calculation is not with each person in the Ten from within the group but rather to see this with everyone together. We are all together here, we are relating to the group and what it attains.

Student (Turkiye 2): (40:24) The question is about the preparation for the lesson. How can a person prepare himself correctly based on the daily schedule that Rabash writes here, to accept the greatness of the Rav and the friends as the preparation for the lesson? How to correctly use this schedule in order to correct himself correctly, to come with the greatness of the Rav and the friends for the morning lesson?

M. Laitman: The main thing to demand in the morning is the examination of what I have from yesterday and from the night and how I can relate to myself and to the Creator, that's what I have in the morning, and in the middle of the day examine the extent in which I enter the work of the day to connect everyone together and to aim them to the goal that we need to attain, and later afternoon we already need to work with the scrutinies more until we reach the night and we do a summation to all we've done throughout the day.

Student (ITA): (42:55) Dear Rav, when I'm asking for a restriction on my evil inclination, I'm afraid of using the world that surrounds me. How to relate to the Creator without while, I'm sorry while keeping contact with this world?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand.

Student: When I'm asking for the restriction over the evil inclination, I'm afraid that I'll lose connection with this world, the corporeal world. How to keep the connection with the Creator without losing contact with this world?

M. Laitman: Not to lose the connection with this world, what would I do? I wouldn't be afraid. Don't be afraid, nevertheless, the fact that you're with the friends, you're connected with them, you return to the same style of work as before, and even if you are now in some uplifted state through your actions and your prayers, this nevertheless works to your benefit. It's not that it tears you from the spiritual advancement, okay? 

Student (Kyiv 7): (44:57) It says in the article, that Rabash proposes for us to depict several times the pain and the suffering and the souls that are robbed and the exaltedness of the Creator, depict the love. How is it correct to depict to ourselves?

M. Laitman: As if you are very close to him.

Student: Close to who?

M. Laitman: Close to the Creator. How to depict my proximity to Him.

Student (Women Turkiye 5): (45:49) In the past I thought that quantity is one of the most important things in the work, I really worked with an emphasis on quantity, but it bothered me that it came from my ego and now I see that we have to increase the effort in quantity and quality. I understand the importance of quality, but I can't understand the matter of quantity. Can you explain that? 

M. Laitman: We can't always distinguish between quantity and quality because they are interconnected, they are truly tightly intertwined, we get a feeling which is already a result of the connection between the two but slowly we will be able to distinguish between quantity and quality and ask for quantity and ask for quality as two different things that are not tied together. 

Student (Women ITA): (47:39) What is item 7, to depict the love in manners of revealing love, how to do this without knowing what love is?

M. Laitman: According to how much we yearn for this love, if we connect this tendency toward love of the Creator, accordingly we can connect ourselves together and by that, bring about the benefit of the Creator.

Student (Piter 3): (48:49) What you said to my beloved friend, to depict to oneself that he is close to the Creator, it's clear that we together with the Creator try to care for the friends; on the other hand, we look at the friends from above down. How to combine this approach towards the friends and also look at them from above down as well, how do you combine those feelings?

M. Laitman: Try, you can combine it, try to combine.

Student (Women Polish): (49:32) You said that we need to depict to ourselves the evil in all its expressions, to avoid it. Is it best to just depict to ourselves the good so there’ll be no room for the evil?

M. Laitman: You can't do it like that, you can’t succeed like that, you won't succeed. 

Student: In the first item there is the correction of midnight. Why specifically midnight?

M. Laitman: Because this is the time of the revelation of the Shechina.

Student (Women Kavkaz 1): (50:22) Life in Bnei Baruch has a certain daily order. Today you said that throughout the day we need to do a calculation, why things happen, what we're doing, cause, consequence and at the end of the day do a summary. The question is whether it's good for us to write these scrutinies and summaries at the end of the day, a certain diary for personal development?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Could we say that the exaltedness of the Creator is expressed in the greatness of the friends?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's precisely so.

Student (Women MAK 25): (51:20) How can we hold on to the order of work in the life in the Ten, so it won't elude us, so we don't lose our focus on the daily order?

M. Laitman: To remind one another, remind one another.

Student (Women Turkiye 8): (51:55) It’s written in the article that the light in it reforms. How can we reveal this light within us? 

M. Laitman: By trying to attract Him and for it to influence us and bring us closer into one, this light works on us according to our request and that's what he's doing with us.

Student (Karmiel): (52:36) The more you depict yourself closer to the Creator you depict the friends closer to the Creator and that's how evil thoughts come out of you that you're not worthy of being closer to the Creator and that friends are not worthy of being with the Creator. Please tell me, what does that mean and how to work with it?

M. Laitman: You have to continue. The Creator created us so harmful and accordingly He is ensuring that we will correct ourselves and rise up.

Student (Women Heb 2): (53:32) This morning there was a lesson without the Rav, it wasn't a recorded lesson, and it was very, very special, the students really felt greatness and were kind of like independent, like a mother I was inspired. Did you also feel that, Rav? 

M. Laitman: I felt it, maybe differently, but I'm very happy that you had such a lesson and that you were impressed by it.

Student: We were really impressed. What else do you recommend for us to do and grow even more?

M. Laitman: The connection between you determines everything.

Student: The connection. We wish you to be strong and healthy and continue to lead us for many more years, dear Rav. Amen.

M. Laitman: We will try.

Student (Women Nahariya): (54:29) I want to talk about the hatred of evil. When the evil is revealed between us, we come to scrutiny, and we attribute the evil to the Creator and then it happens that we crown the Creator between us. My question is how, in what way is this depicting that we want to adhere to the Creator at the time when we reveal the evil and the connection between us?

M. Laitman: Do you understand the question?

Reader: She is saying that when they have the recognition of evil between them, they intensify the connection between them and want to adhere to Him, what kind of depiction is here, and what pictures are here in the revelation of evil and in this process?

M. Laitman: In the evil between them they crown the Creator, so it's not a Creator, it's not the Creator.

Student (Women Kyiv 7): (55:48) You said that this daily schedule as I understood it is a spiritual daily schedule that we have to go through with the Ten throughout all these states. Please, if I understood correctly do we need to do all that we can with our forces and abilities?

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student (Women Hadera 3): (56:27) The prayer for the friends and for the world and for the creatures and the gap between the good and the light that the Creator wants to give and that we don't have this in the created beings and that there is suffering from a lack of feeling of Providence?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How to do this without condemning the Creator?

M. Laitman: But the Creator is correcting you, he is twisting you and turning you, He is bringing you to the choice and to the prayer. Not that you came to it by yourselves.

Student: So, when that is revealed it's the Creator revealing this to me so that here I will continue with prayer?

M. Laitman: Yes exactly. 

Student (Tbilisi): (57:19) Dear Rav, it is written to hate the evil. In this I have another state I start to love the evil because without the recognition of evil, I have nothing to work on and I'm starting to love the evil as if it's good; what would you say about that?

M. Laitman: You should act the way you are instructed and then you will not lose anything. 

Student: And the fact that the evil gives us work and I'm happy about that?

M. Laitman: Why do we need the work? We need the result.

Student (Women MAK 56): (58:24) We don't have a question today. We just want to pass to you our love, we love you very much and are thanking you with no bounds we love you and the whole world Kli. 

M. Laitman: I too. I'm grateful and I embrace you.

Student (Moscow 1): (58:52) How to better make easier what we’re healing here. Something we have to do or something we need to discover?

M. Laitman: I don't understand. Ask a question and I will answer the question if I can.

Student: How to absorb what's written and described in the article.

M. Laitman: The schedule 

Student: What schedule is described here? Is this something that we reveal or is it for execution or for revelation?

M. Laitman: To discover, to reveal. 

Student (Women MAK): (01:00:12) In this daily schedule, they’re the stages of correction if we use them throughout the lesson, can we say that now thanks to our Ten, that I came to the lesson and I have the possibility to bring contentment to the Creator through the world Kli? There are moments when I will receive rejection in the lesson but because I'm the one who's not corrected, I will ask to incorporate and be corrected and I'm thankful for the bestowal of the friends upon me and thanks for the exaltedness of the Creator and at the end of the lesson I have to come to love of the created beings and the Creator? 

M. Laitman: You have a complete program of actions.

Student (Women MAK 23): (01:01:03) I have two questions: the first question of a friend. What does it mean to strengthen in faith in quantity and quality?

M. Laitman: The quantity is according to the quantity of times, the number of times you're trying to emerge toward the Creator during the day and the quality is the quality of how much you’re asking for, how much you want to cleave to Him and then you'll be able to reach the correct connection with Him.

Student: The second question, if we reveal the evil in the Ten and cover it with love is that the actual state of None Else Besides Him and the Good that Does Good?

M. Laitman: Yes, ultimately this is what happens.

Student (Women Beer Sheva 3): (01:02:20) We're wishing you good health and we're in great gratitude. Does the Creator always believe in the person and not let go of him till the end of correction?

M. Laitman: The Creator is not obligated to do anything. He just gave us a few conditions, if we hold on to them, if we observe them then he too to some extent is helping us and not more than that. So, anyone who wants to advance needs to ensure he has the right direction and the right connection with the Creator.

Student (Women Moscow 7): The ego is built in a way that it doesn't want to reveal the evil. What is the mitigation you can think about to not be afraid of revealing the evil, is there some thought or some trick?

M. Laitman: No. To mitigate, to lie, you won't be able to do it.

Student: How can we not separate when the evil is revealed?

M. Laitman: If you succeed, if you don't run in every direction if you run away that's what you deserve, then you have to reconnect again after a few hundred years.

Student: Can we ask the Creator to not separate for Him to hold us close? 

M. Laitman: Yes, you can ask for that.

Student (Women Rehovot 1): (01:04:33) Towards the end of the article that it’s written, that's why it's good to make a, to dedicate fixed times for learning only matters that speak of faith and soul since when we he learns these matters, he clings to such thoughts. What does that mean Rav?

M. Laitman: Decide on several times a day about short meetings with the entire Ten when we connect and we study together, all kinds of excerpts, and chapters of the articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. That's it. Here we prepare ourselves for the next gathering and through such gatherings we build our common vessel, where specifically in it the Creator is revealed.

Student (Women French): (01:06:07) We have a few questions. How is the evil within us connected to the evil in the world, of the evil that we see especially, and do we need to hate the evil that we see in the world?

M. Laitman: We will talk about it; we will talk about it.

Student (Women MAK 36): (01:07:02) And the foundation of the world is love, and we're talking about there needing to be hatred for the evil. What's the foundation of this evil and this hatred for evil? 

M. Laitman: Love of love. 

Student (Women ITA): (01:07:36) Good morning, dear Rav. What a joy to see you, thank you. The question is, the Creator gives us a connection and the extent of the evil inclination. Are these two contradicted matters? 

M. Laitman: Connection and evil inclination? Again.

Student: The Creator gives us a connection and the extent of the evil inclination. Are these two contradicted things? 

M. Laitman: Of course, the evil inclination controls everything and is stronger than everyone. That's the evil inclination. And Ibur, connection, relative to the evil inclination is higher. The evil inclination has to reach the degree of conception, and then it's the first degree where it becomes the evil inclination, not the bad inclination. 

Reader: The question is whether connection and evil inclination are contradicted to one another, whether the evil inclination and connection are contradicted to one another. Connection, not Ibur, not impregnation. 

M. Laitman: Evil inclination and connection are odds. Of course, they are because the evil inclination wants to separate everyone. Everyone wants to have the will to receive and only later they will connect and control the world. So, that's what it is. We need to yearn for the connection between us. The connection between us is the connection and the good inclination. Because the connection is the good inclination and the connection of the different parts of the evil inclination, only through the help of the upper force they can connect. 

Student: If we're connected with the Creator, the evil inclination and connection advance us, yes? 

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. If we are connected, the connection with the Creator is more important than anything else. That's why the evil inclinations that are in us, it doesn't matter the quantity and quality. If we connect to the Creator, all these inclinations become good inclinations and connected into one. Okay? It is like the mother's womb, where when the embryo is being created and depicted there, everything is at odds and opposition there. But the mother holds them and allows them to connect and create something. That's how we are. Okay? 

Student: (01:11:55) Rav, I need guidance. How do I know that I have the right connection with the Creator? 

M. Laitman: Through the friends. After all, the friends are in the Creator's hands, and you receive through them the direction to the Creator.

Student: (01:12:37) I feel that in the Ten we're doing a lot of work of incorporation with our lacks, with what we're missing. The prayers and not a lot are we depicting the state of love and matters of love. The question is whether it's worthwhile to do such exercises as well and talk about them, about the corrected state and how it feels? 

M. Laitman: Of course.

Student: Another question about this depiction. We learned not too long ago about the silence, and many times we do these exercises, and it feels very powerful. And there's a difference, I can imagine, between depicting and talking and each depicting in her heart and everyone together. Is there a preference for one and what's the advantage for one or the other? Or is it just best that they're both important? 

M. Laitman: Both are important. 

Student: Hello, teacher. I hope you're feeling okay. He writes here that without help from above, a person cannot work in faith and bestow on the way of truth, and he doesn't fool himself by thinking that he does have faith in the Creator and is ready to work in order to bestow with the Creator's help for only the light in it reforms him. For this reason, it's a good reason to dedicate a fixed time to study. The thing is that I'm not fooling myself that I have some kind of bestowal or spiritual qualities and everything. So, why is the evil condition not appearing? Even though you want it to appear and you're asking between the friends, disputes, all the…

M. Laitman: If the evil is revealed, then what? 

Student: See, it doesn't come in correction. As he says, if there's no help from above, a person cannot work in the matter of faith, of bestowal. I'm not fooling myself. I don't have what I need. 

M. Laitman: So, ask, go to the craftsman who made me. 

Student: Okay, you're asking us, It's not exactly like it's written here that he appears and corrects everything. That's my question. 

M. Laitman: No, the Creator always corrects. If you ask correctly, there's no problem. He always corrects. There's no question there, so he didn't ask, you didn't ask. But if you're asking, there's nothing that can stand in your way and not change.

Student: But everything that emerges from a person is a form of request. You come here, you do the meetings, you do all these things. That's not an expression of an annulment? 

M. Laitman: The Creator doesn't want it to work in a superficial way, but for it to take place in a directed way, ongoing way, that you would want it, demand it, insist on it.

Student: He writes here, I shouldn't fool oneself that he's correcting himself and he has faith, and it's enough. I'm telling you, I don't have this, not in a superficial way. I don't have it. That's what I have. I don't have spiritual forces. 

M. Laitman: I understand you. I understand that you don't feel like you're advancing or advancing well, and you always have complaints and claims like for beginners and for children, but soon it will pass. This is such a time. As great as this period ahead of you so do you have this period of infancy.

Student: It's not complaints. Things are happening. It's explosions within the Tens, explosions.

M. Laitman: Cry, cry. What else can you do? 

Student: I'm asking you, and you're giving me questions back? 

M. Laitman: I would give you questions, but you wouldn't accept them, and if you did accept them, then it would be worse.

Student: Well, ask, make it difficult on me. Go ahead.

M. Laitman: You sometimes hear from above what you have to do. Are you doing it or not? 

Student: Not always.

M. Laitman: You're not doing them. What you're doing is you're scrutinizing in your mind, in your brain and you see that it sounds reasonable, correct and you do it. 

Student: Always the other side, it's always ready to receive everything from you. It's always right to implement in that moment. You should always openly do it right there on the spot you know, silent waters, reach deeper, you know. 

M. Laitman: That's true. 

Student: We don't need to use too many words here.

M. Laitman: No. 

Student: (01:18:28) It's a question of a friend from the Ten. I will read. I identified the evil in me and I understood that it comes from the Creator but I didn't agree with the Creator that arranged this for me this way. I was in complaints towards Him and I said, I don't understand why He arranged things this way for me. Is this condemning the Creator? And what do we do from this, from this force in which I condemn Him to ask to justify and to be thankful? How do we do that? 

M. Laitman: You simply do. Simply do.

Student: (01:19:26) The question is, how does a person check that he is doing the right work at any given moment? 

M. Laitman: How many rules do we have? If we're trying to work according to these rules, then we advance.

Student: The question is whether the action that I need to aim myself every moment is towards raising a prayer, and then I knew that this is what I needed to do. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: (01:20:05) I wanted to ask a general question. When Rav is not in the lesson for different reasons, there are many suggestions from friends on how to do the lesson. Now, in this stage of our development in the world Kli, how does Rav think it's right to do a lesson when he is not present? 

M. Laitman: With Rabash, we would go through the lesson like with him. Just like with him.

Student: Today we're reading a Rabash article, we’ll continue with that. 

M. Laitman: Then the questions and answers, in brief. Then TES. And then some other articles. 

Student: Baal HaSulam usually. 

M. Laitman: Baal HaSulam.

Student: Now, how should that format of questions and answers take place? 

M. Laitman: Very shortly. Very shortly. Not that someone gets up and gives a speech but I think it's finally time. 

Student: The question is about the questions and answers. Is it right for there to be instructors, lecturers, and friends who should answer whoever has an answer? 

M. Laitman: You can, just like you have it here. Someone will answer, I don't know, you or Gilad. But you have to sort people. Those who are best suited for this, those who are best suited for that.

Student: Who answers this way? Certain friends or in Tens we answer? 

M. Laitman: It's better to scrutinize an answer in the Ten. 

Student: What about recordings of Rav? 

M. Laitman: If there are special lessons, then yes. But I don't think there are that many. 

Student: Why not a lot? 

M. Laitman: That's what I think about my lessons, that there aren't that many of them that are so exciting, special. 

Student: Let's say we're watching a recorded lesson or a special evoking excerpt from Rav. What's more as far as watching or being in a workshop between us? 

M. Laitman: Whatever you see fit. I don't want to limit you in anything. I think that all in all, there is everything in you. And if you let it develop, it will develop correctly. Good luck. 

Reader: (01:22:54) Thank you to Rav and our whole world Kli. We have news for next week.
