The Approach to Studying the Wisdom of Kabbalah - Selected Excerpts from the Sources #37

Reading #37

1.Rav’s Introduction: (00:47) Yes, what is required from us is only one thing, to correct our desire so it would be directed correctly through the connection between us to a single desire. Even though everybody has different desires, and they are directed to different goals we connect all of our desires and all of their goals into a single desire in a single goal to attain the Creator, to reach a state where we will be like Him. Then we can say that we succeed in our life. What does he say? All the Mitzvot, commandments meaning everything that we are commanded to do though all of these Mitzvot, all that we are commanded to do, these are things we are supposed to done by actions or with the mouth but in truth we have to do it in the heart, in the heart. That besides what happens to us in the heart we should not pay attention to anything else, but only where is our heart directed? Because the Creator demands the direction of the hearts, as much as all our desires are all directed to the connection between us and to Him and according to that we will meet with Him, by directing our desires. This is actually what the entire Torah is about.

Reading 38 (02:43)

2. R. (03:30) This means to try and to check the thoughts, desires, and inclinations. Where is the heart inclined? Is it drawn to the direction of the Creator? Meaning connection according to equivalence of form. As much as we do not think of ourselves but about connecting from between us to the Creator. That this has to be depicted, established before us and this is what we yearn to reach and we’re all time in a disposition towards that.

Reading 39 (04:16)

3. R. (04:42) This means that we have to think that all that we want is only the correction of the desire so it will be aimed towards coming closer to others, and through that coming closer to the Creator. From the love of people to the love of the Creator, how will we keep this condition?

Reading 40 (05:13)

4. R. (06:19) This is why if we want to reach connection with the Creator first we have to reach connection between us, and even more than that, before that we have to realize that this is the only thing we are talking about, nothing besides that. The connection among people who understand that their purpose is to reach the purpose of creation, which is the Creator. So they need to be directed only to that and to perform all kinds of actions that connect between them. The actions that connect between us are called these Mitzvot, commandments, meaning the commandments from above, from the Creator. If we do that we’ll reach connection because through these actions that we will perform, from above comes to us a special illumination that brings us closer into one desire in which we gradually discover the Creator. This is why what is important for us is to understand that as much as we will try to keep the connection between us, by that we awaken the Creator. That He bestows to our efforts to support each other, His light, and then this light already influences us and indeed connects us. So we need, like children, to play with this as much as possible and out of our efforts even though we are not successful however we want to reach it and then as it is called we raise MAN, a prayer, a request, a deficiency. Then over this deficiency that we want to connect and even though we cannot, and even though we are in despair, and we have already done it a few times, and nevertheless we are not successful, but nevertheless we do continue. This is how we draw each time more and more of the reforming light according to our deficiency, and we do not despair and according to that the reforming light influences us more until a person finishes, completes his quota. Meaning as much as we nevertheless pressure and knock, this is called that the opening opens up to those who knock in repentance, those who demand repentance and demand an answer. That we want to bring ourselves to contact with the Creator. Repentance, Shuva is called that the Hey returns to the Vav in the word Shuva. That Hey is us, Malchut and it wants to bring itself back to the Vav which is Bina and in that way when each time when we want and want, then a penny and a penny accumulates to a great amount and in all these are pennies adding up, we reach the correct sum of exertions and the opening opens up for us and we bring ourselves back, or repent. This is all done according to our effort, that we do not despair even if we do not quite understand it, but we do it through the efforts, like little children who play. They do not know quite how and why they do it but by that they gain a greater understanding and they grow and it is the same with us. So let us not despair but rather together, all of us, let's do it. Also through our efforts let’s think about how we, all of us are in the same actions and when all of us demand of the Creator that He will help us, then all of our individual efforts unite together and eventually compel Him to open up for us our eyes and our hearts, to connect them together. Then we will feel and understand our Creator.

5. S. (12:06) From the beginning of the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah it’s concerned with a question that we are a desire. How to accept that inside we feel something that is beyond our desire, but we understand that we have only a desire. How to accept it that we are only a desire that requires correction?

R. I do not know how to explain it but check yourself and you'll see that besides a desire you have nothing, and all of your desires, only they determine who you are and besides the desire there are also thoughts, but all of the thoughts are a consequence of the desire, they are a consequence of the desire. The most important is the desires in which a person lives.

6. S. (13:15) We try to connect between us, between the desires. What does it mean that we are like the common Malchut that we try to reach Zeir Anpin?

R. All of our deficiencies all in all they work on the state which is above us. The state above us is that source of the light, the source of the force that shines on us. It shines a little bit with light and a little bit with the deficiency for light. Then out of these distinctions between the light and the darkness when it shines on us, then this is how we feel ourselves all the time. A desire that is greater or lesser, thinking about this or about that, and in all kinds of different manners, so it shapes us. This is how we begin to feel His language, what does He want from us? We become more and more understanding and feeling, like a baby that looks at the mother and the mother says something to him, she speaks but he doesn't understand what the mother is saying, he just wants to be connected with her. But out of wanting it very much, and the mother also wants it very much, to have a connection between them and bit-by-bit they come to a state where only out of the desire, only out of the yearning, the mutual yearning they begin to build between them a relation, a connection, and a language. Then they begin to understand each other, to have all kinds of discernments and out of that comes the language, this is how it is built.

S. Yes, thank you. That fact that we connect, and we feel connection in this way, what does it mean that we’ll feel it on the next degree, ZA for example, what’s added?

R. We will always feel ourselves as Malchut that is under the influence of ZA, the influence of the upper one, and this is how we will feel it, it will open up. The most important is to constantly increase the connection between us as much as possible. That we are connected to each other, so we truly feel already that my progress is through connection between us. That we are merging, uniting between us and the more we are in connection as a group, the more that we are all directed towards a single goal where in that goal we all connect together as much as we understand, that this is everything. Of course it’s not everything, later we discover suddenly that we have many more degrees in our nearing. But at least in our process we will reach the first degree upon those states that we now have between us where we oppose each other, we’re contradictory, far away, we don’t understand, we don’t feel each other. I would have liked to maybe connect to the friends, but where are the friends, what does it mean to connect with them? So as much as we nevertheless begin to feel that we have a certain goal in which we can become incorporated, by that we reach connection, the building of Malchut. So that in its intensity, in its power it will already be incorporated in a certain number of desires which are alien, but they do wish to connect with a certain effort. According to that we awaken the reforming light, the surrounding light and it does work, and it connects between us. Meaning everything depends on us. As much as we want to connect between us even though we are all different, we are all foreign, we do not want it, but we do understand that this goal is obligating us. It does not matter that we do not have a desire for it. Of course we do not have a desire for it, but we do want this to happen. So then we raise ourselves to a higher degree, and this is how we will advance. This is the most important because otherwise our whole study will remain theoretical, it will be only with the intellect and it will not give us any corporeal progress, meaning it will be only corporeal.

7. S. (19:30) It says that there is no difference between them, between them in the desires but it is not clear because we are different in the ten. We see the connection entirely ….

R. Incorrect, incorrect. We go into a restaurant, let's say and we ask for a certain dish for everybody. Let's say we’re ten friends and we want to get in the restaurant the same dish to each one of us. Each feels his own flavors. We do not discuss it, we cannot compare, but we know that from this we get a certain flavor from this we get the attainment of a certain power or flavors, and this is what we want. The fact that each one of us feels inside of himself his own flavor, a different one an individual one, that is true of course. This is how it is, and this is how it will remain. But the intention has to connect all of us together into one intention and one goal, the Creator The Creator is composed of all of our different individual intentions into one intention. We build Him with this intention that is built from the individual intentions. The ten that wants to connect but doesn’t understand what He is, who He is, but they do want to connect in their intentions to locate Him, and they want to locate Him together. By that we build Him out of our different connections, and this is how it is done. Even to begin with there is a preparation for this in the shattering of the Kli of Adam HaRishon. So that if we now, we want to get back to that state then we just make that image that is revealed 620 times greater than how it was in Adam HaRishon. So this is what we have to do. There are things that will never be able to compare, how and what I feel this flavor from the Creator, the flavors that expand within me and how you feel it, those flavors that expand in you. That we cannot do because each one nevertheless operates out of his own desires. But the intentions, those we can connect and by this we help each other, we become incorporated in them. We will talk more about it but just realize that the most important is to try to carry out the action of connection in the intention.

8. S. (22:50) I want to ask about that desires and how to connect about different desires this was my exact question about the different desires because I have certain friends that when you speak with them it is like a wire, we are connected and with other friends we are more distant, how to keep our connection separate from our own desires and together unite above everything?

R. The have to give a room for all of the friends and it does not matter how right now they are successful in the connection with others or not, how much they seem to as great and directed, instead each and every one who is on the path even if seemingly he is not so successful, we do not look at the way we see them. As it says they have eyes and do not see, they have ears, but they do not hear so in general the person is with us on the path it is enough for me in order for me to feel him as on the path in general. That he is coming to the lessons even if not to all of the sometimes, nevertheless he is not able to overcome certain conditions he has but we nevertheless gather and gather everybody as much as possible. Then in each and every one of us there are also many different mistakes and problems in the exertion and in the connection but ultimately love covers all crimes. You see that your friend is not so successful in something but try instead of him quietly to do that thing instead of him and then you see how much it works in him and also in you. It works in such a way that you cannot see it but a penny and a penny of exertion of such exertion adds up into a great amount.

9. S. (25:31) You said that we are fundamentally a desire but why, when they want a goal that a blonde with such a body and a brunette with a different body, where does it come from that we all want different things?

R. That does not depend on us because the desires are given from above and we have to work with them, why is it like this? It stems from the general system of Adam HaRishon, and I do not ask about the initial conditions because nevertheless I cannot influence those initial conditions. I cannot sort them, and we leave this one and not the other, this is not possible. For this I have to see my state at the end of correction and understand my whole way and how much I am connected to everybody and then I will be able to understand for sure why it is like this in the different states.

S. Do I have any free choice?

R. Your free choice is what we have to learn in the article The Arvut, we will continue that article today. The Arvut article, it is also called free choice and we will study it more and more what is the actual choice. The choice is that in spite of the forces of rejection and confusion I try in any possible way to come closer to the friends and through them to the Creator, there is nothing else to do.

S. If I approach the friends and the Creator then I am able to state my initial state and from that reverse engineer?

R. I do not promise you anything, I just tell you how and where to put effort in and what you receive in return for that exertion, I am not talking about because now you are demanding a reward, and this is not customary for us. The reward is only to do what the Creator wants because of by that you apparently give contentment, and this is our work

S. So in the ten and through them to the Creator?

R. Yes.

10. S. (28:14) You said that I assemble the friends even those who I might see mistakes in, and they do not come and other such pictures, how to do this correctly this action assembling all the friends regardless of what they do?

R. You need to be to the friends, on one hand you are more than anybody else, that you have to give them an example, force, and support and on the other hand you have to be less than everybody else so you would understand them in all of their lowliness in such a way. Also you have to understand that the way a friend is revealed to you, it is the Creator who arranged it for you to see it that way, that the Creator is in between the friends, and he determines how each and everybody would see their friends. Therefore in my relation to the friends, I do not relate to the friend himself, how he appears to me but the way the Creator is showing him to me and therefore here, I truly have a complex relation in each and every state I have. So that I do not just have a relation to the friend, instead the Creator to begin with arranged the friend for me, so now in my relation to the friend, I determine my effort and my relation to the Creator and already out of that that this is how I establish myself to the friends, so I have before me actually the entire model of Adam HaRishon.

11. S. (30:45) In the end I have nothing to do but to thank the Creator. I want to share with you and everybody and also to ask a question. I get up every morning to preparation before I ask the Creator anything. I thank him first and I feel that this gratitude is something special, seemingly it puts me back on the right path, aims me to what I want to ask for the friends. So the question is what is so special about the gratitude? I have been doing it for a while and I feel that it truly puts me in the right direction, this gratitude, before asking for anything?

R. Yes nevertheless you do awaken to a connection with the Creator, so your efforts bring you such a result. This is fine, each should try to do it in a different way, whatever is suitable the most important is not to be passive.

12. S. (31:58) You said that the thought is in upshot of the desire I receive the desire from above, so I need to increase the thought of the desire that I received from above using the thought?

R. Yes if we get a thought to connect to the attainment of the purpose of creation then through our efforts, we need to make that thought greater and progress in such a way to the goal of course.

13. S. (32:47) When we listened to the clip with Rabash I felt the concern for the friends and connection, how can I wake up this concern to the friends all the time?

R. You depend on the friends, and they depend on you, we are all in a single system and we depend hundred percent on each other, we do not have in our lives in the systems in which we exist in the physical systems in our environment, we do not have such an example how much we are so interconnected and interdependent. It is simple such a system that is entirely dependent on each other, and we need to imagine to ourselves as much as possible that we exist in such a system, that this is the truth and that this system is so interconnected and it keeps itself in such a way that its purpose is to reveal the Creator for us through connection between the parts, between different alien and broken parts. However as much as we discover the connection between them, we discover the Creator, BoReh, come and see so that's we come in spite of the shattering, we reach connection between the parts, and we try to connect to between them. In this work we attain the right connection between them, and this is how we build the Creator, we make the Creator. Like with a Lego or building blocks that the children play with, and they build a certain image, this is how we build the Creator, this is why it is called come and see, BoReh. There this is it, this is our work and therefore we have to be grateful to the Creator who is giving us each time more and more opportunities to assemble, to put together these building blocks, these images together until in this puzzle we discover him, we understand him, we feel him the way he is connected to all different pieces. Of course we do not become a desire to bestow but we want to try to connect all of the broken pieces so that they would all become connected. This is how we build the image of the Creator in spite of the forces of shattering we have from the forces of distance we build him, and we end up with the image of the Creator who is great to us 620 times greater, truly, than the way he was before, before the shattering. Because in Adam HaRishon the upper light was very small, the light of Nefesh of Nefesh, whereas when we reach connection through our efforts we discover him as the Yechida, the NRNHY and this is our work. We discover him because we have put him together, we discover him, we were pressuring ourselves in order to discover him, to search, meaning the sensitivity of our vessels we achieve this through our effort in connection.

14. S. (37:39) It says here that the essence of love and unity is in the desire that each is pleased with his friends. How can we please the friends throughout the day and the lesson?

R. The desire of friend is to come closer to the friend and through them to the Creator, so much so that in the connection with the friends he discovered what we call the Creator, BoReh, come and see, and in it he arranges everybody in the right connection and he sees the quality of the connection between them which is called Creator, BoReh, come and see. This is how I need to connect to the friends that I need to care for, this is why several times a day I have to remind myself of this because it is forgotten all the time, as new desires wake up in us all the time and on top of these new desires we need to wake up the correct inclination that has to be to the connection between us so we can build the common image and the picture of bestowal which is called the Creator.

S. This is only when we push the friends to the Creator, this is what it means to please them?

R. Especially, yes.

15. S. (39:27) How to take all this mixture of desires and inclinations and aim them to the Creator?

R. Try and see, I cannot answer all the questions, just understand that if you want this you will make efforts to make it happen and then you get an answer because none as wise as the experienced.

16. S. (40:00) In relation to what you said before, that if we see a friend who does not come to lessons we have to accept him, a weaker friend, so you told us to do this instead of the friend, what does it mean to do it instead of the friend?

R. To try and prepare nevertheless a place for all the friends who sometimes show up and that they would feel that they have a place here and we are interested in their connection and constant connection to us, there is no answer here that has to be clear in our connection between people.

17. S. (40:49) Is it permitted to remind the friend that when he is in a descent that he is committed to a certain framework, that he doesn't keep it?

R. We should not cause any descent, we should not cause any fall, when remind each other but certain that we are raising everybody then it is allowed to bring it up, only on the condition that it will bring about an ascent.

18. S. (41:20) When I put the puzzle together in corporeality I see the parts that I put together but in the ten I am blind, I do not know how to put this puzzle together?

R. You are connecting everybody together in a single heart that is aimed at the Creator, at bestowal to the Creator, what to bestow, by connecting together you wish to give to the Creator your connection. The Creator does not need anything more than that.

19. S. (42:00) We are learning hear the approach to the study of Kabbalah, we really chewed up a lot of material so soon we will finish this collection and I have a dilemma, on one hand, I have to be focused and directed and scrutinize the single point that we want the greatness and importance of the Creator during the study, to strengthen in faith in the teacher. But there are many things here, how from this whole complex can we take it as one thing, shouldn’t we take it as a single thing or maybe there are many states?

R. After all there is no room for confusion I don't understand why you are confused, there are many thoughts and desires, many directions but what do we need, we need to aim our heart to be with the friends directed at the Creator, our source and he is managing us he is deciding for us each and every moment who we are, so after all, connect with the friends in our source this is it.

20. S. (43:22) When is it considered that the person is listening and learning the language of the Creator through the friends?

R. When he understands that he has no approach, no way to reach the Creator, only through the friends, he does not have a vessel, only the connection between everybody because without the ten there is no Creator.

S. So what is the attitude, the relation we have to have to the friends so that the Creator starts talking to us?

R. The connection with the friends is more important for me than the connection with the Creator.

S. When we come together in the morning lesson, I believe that most of us are making an effort to hear the Creator through you. Is this correct to do or is it more important to do it through the friends?

R. More important through the friends, I am only as somebody who is reminding you this somebody who is directing you and wakes you up, but the work is with the friends.

21. S. (44:43) Thinking about the friends, it's out of the fact that there is no flavor, should it become the main place for implementation?

R. Let it be so, ok let's go to the next part.
