Part 3: Lesson on the topic of “Loyal to the Path: Following the Footsteps of Our Teachers.”

Reader: We are reading from a document with select excerpts on the topic of “Loyal to the Path: Following the Footsteps of Our Teachers.” This is actually our weekly subject, that's why we chose it, we want to deepen in it more. Excerpt number one, Rabash. 

Reading: (00:25) Excerpt 1. Rabash, Art. 1, part 1 (1984). Purpose of Society-1.
We have gathered here to establish a society for all who wish to follow the path and method of Baal HaSulam, the way by which to climb the degrees of man and not remain as a beast.

M. Laitman: No questions, that's it.

Reader: Two. Rabash

Reading: (01:00) Excerpt 2. RABASH, Letter No. 8. At the end of the day, this is a group of people who have gathered in a certain place, under a certain leader, to be together. With superhuman courage they face up to all those who rise against them. Indeed, they are brave men with a strong spirit, and they are determined not to retreat one inch. They are first-class fighters, fighting the war against the inclination to their last drop of blood, and their only wish is to win the battle for the glory of His name.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:06) These two excerpts describe a very limited and specific kind of people. Even in the big military, these superhuman warriors of the first degree, there's only so many that are like that. How can you settle the fact that on one hand, we want to be a big army, and on the other hand, there's the first rated warriors? 

M. Laitman: We need to try to advertise a lot, as much as possible. And expect everyone to come. And everyone should know where we are, what we're coming closer to, and what our purpose is. That's it.

Student: Let’s say the way of the allegory of the military and the first grade fighters and they all come and even in the first stage they don’t make it through cause he says I’m not a first grade fighter and…

M. Laitman: Okay, you receive everyone, and they themselves see afterwards what they belong to. 

Student: So how really do I accept everyone? Because I'm telling them, listen, here, this path is for first-class fighters. 

M. Laitman: No, why do you say that? 

Student: So how should I tell them? 

M. Laitman: So why didn't you ask first, and you tell them what you have in your head? 

Student: We see that today, even our organization is aimed towards something very specific, to bring students to sit in a lesson with you. That goal is not for everyone. We see people are not succeeding. There are only a few of all the students that come that managed to sit, whether it's physically or virtually, before you.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: How do we settle this trend? On one hand, we want to be for everyone? 

M. Laitman: That's something you have to build, such a system that will include different levels. 

Student: In our DNA, in our perception, in our grasping, our whole approach, whoever is here, is aimed more, more, all the time, more, more. Pushing forward, pulling forward. 

M. Laitman: Well.

Student: And it's simply a different perception. We have to make a certain switch upon which we're asking. That perception that I'm suddenly including those two, let's say up to here, and no more, and it's okay. How can I, as someone who his whole life was educated to aspire more forward on the path, to contain an audience? 

M. Laitman: You must talk to them in a different manner. You have to be connected to the goal, to their nerves, to their thoughts, to agree with their path of the landlords. They come, they hear, then they go home after the lesson. Then they go to work. After work, they come home. They sit with their children, with their wife, and enjoy it. They have a dog and a cat at home, and that's it. They live. What's wrong with that? 

Student: That's something that I do for. 

M. Laitman: That's called teach the child in his way. You don't see everyone that they're now ready to come to the army and invest all their forces there. Or you think everyone is like that. 

Student: No, it's clear they’re not. 

M. Laitman: So what's the problem? 

Student: That our entire existence at Bnei Baruch is what we aspire to and whoever is less is not considered. 

M. Laitman: So that's not good. So you're not a good educator and our representative. That's it. Sit and think.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:26) Rav, in the education that we go through in the Ten, we actually learn how to gradually contain everyone. The question is, what is the Torah for the collective? Because let's say, Baal HaSulam and Rabash specifically write for a very unique few. What is the Torah for the people that, for the general public? What to teach them? What we also see? 

M. Laitman: Love your friend as yourself. It's not for them. 

Student: No, it is. But… 

M. Laitman: So? 

Student: I can just.

M. Laitman: So except for above reason, except for above reason, you can teach them everything. 

Student: Right. I'm just asking. Even when I search for what excerpts to advertise for the collective, I have to go through and sort because many of the articles of Rabash and Baal HaSulam are very special, very internal. It's also very hard for them to read articles like for us. What's the material that can sustain people for years and give them the reforming light? What's that Torah? 

M. Laitman: They can hear the regular Torah and connect to it, and gradually understand there's extra depth, and it's for them.

Student: Meaning, that the writings of Baal HaSulam are also suitable for the collective, but we have to adapt them or?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Latin 7): (09:07) What does that mean to beat the war for the sake of His glory? 

M. Laitman: That I want to win the war against my evil inclination. And I don't do it for my own sake, but for the Creator's sake, that it'll be felt more and more in the world that there's a Creator, and that He is the one conducting and in control and determining all of our life. 

Question (PT 31): (09:58) What does it mean to be a first-class fighter? 

M. Laitman: I don't know. It’ll be revealed towards a person if he really wants to know.

Student: From the study? 

M. Laitman: Yes, if he's suitable for it. 

M. Laitman: Okay. So, what do we have? 

Student: (10:29) Announcements.
