Reading Article: (00:36) Letter No. 41

Hello and all the best to my dear friend,

Today I received your letter together with 18; may you taste the flavor of the pleasantness of the brightness and sweetness of the one who lives (also written as 18) forever. We should aspire for everything, for aspiring for good things is called a “prayer,” which is a deficiency, when one feels that he lacks this thing, and the Creator will grant him. That is, a person should await the time when he feels in his heart all the good things that the Creator has promised us upon the reception of the Torah, as it is written, “And now if you indeed obey My voice … and you shall be unto Me a virtue from among all the nations … and you will be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

We see that normally, one who has a lot of property, and many possessions is high spirited. But we, the chosen people, as it is written, “You have chosen us from among all the nations,” so each one from the people of Israel should have been always happy and elated. However, as long as one was not rewarded with feeling in the heart all those good things, a person is not impressed by uttering, “You have chosen us.”

This is so because receiving the Torah refers primarily to the internality of the Torah, which is clothed in externality. The internality of the Torah is called “the names of the Creator.” This means that the general name of the Creator is “Good Who Does Good.” Since the Creator gives many pleasures that are included in doing good to His creations, the Torah is names of pleasures, where each pleasure has a different name. That is, the general name, Good Who Does Good, spreads over several details, and this internality dresses in the outer Torah.

Man should crave to be rewarded with the internality of the Torah, for then we feel all the good things that the Creator has promised us, so when we say, “You have chosen us,” it means that we already feel all the good possessions with which we have been granted, and for which we are called a “kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

This is the meaning of, “And the whole of the people were seeing the voices.” When the voice of the Creator is heard in the heart, that feeling is as sufficient as actual seeing “for man shall not see Me and live.” However, by seeing the voices, meaning by the voice of the Creator spreading into the heart, not into the ear—for the ear is external and only the heart is the man—hence, the voice of the Creator must be felt in the heart. This is when it is called “seeing the voices,” and then each one lives in a world that is utterly good, and the heart feels the “You have chosen us” because it tastes the brightness of the upper pleasantness and the sweet savor of the light of the Creator spreads throughout his heart. This is when we see, “Happy are you in this world and happy are you in the next world.”

Due to the sanctity of the Sabbath and the festival I cannot elaborate now. May the Lord help us be granted the complete reception of the Torah.

From your friend who wishes you and your family the very best,

Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag

Son of Baal HaSulam

M. Laitman: Is what's written clear? If there are any questions, please.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:57) Rabash writes here about a great possession, a great acquisition. What does that mean, a great possession? He writes that a great possession, if it's all good, then he's always high-spirited. What is a possession?

M. Laitman: That a person attains the Torah, each and every time, more and more.

Student: Can you say that a possession is these vessels that we acquire?

M. Laitman: Well, of course, it's through the vessels that we acquire. But what's important is what we reveal in those vessels.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:52) Rabash writes that the matter of the reception of the Torah is a matter of the internality of the Torah dressed in externality. What is externality?

M. Laitman: The internality of the Torah is the light, and the externality of it is all the vessels for it. Meaning, it's what we attain through the connection between us and getting closer to the Giver of the Torah.

Student: This internality of the Torah is dressed in the externality of the Torah. The Torah in externality is the vessel?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And how do we attain that external Torah?

M. Laitman: By connection between us. It's clear that we don't have other means, nor do we need any. It is enough for us to be connected between us and wish to be as one man in one heart, one vessel. And by that, as we add more efforts, we begin to get closer and sanctify.

Student: And the internality of the Torah, the reception of the Torah, is that a result?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's that same light that reforms the inner light that we attain.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:46) It is written, as the passion for good things is called a prayer, which is a deficiency. We want to ask a question in relation for aspiring for good things. How can we expect a good thing?

M. Laitman: That we begin to scrutinize how to acquire this good thing, then we understand we need a vessel. What is the suitable vessel for the good things called Torah? That's the deficiencies, then we need to get closer to each other, as the Torah explains to us, and in getting closer to each other we feel how our vessels, the collective vessels, how they become clarified and grow and that's how we attain, everything depends on the vessels?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:23) Rabash writes in all of his letters to my friend, to my friends. Now he is a teacher as much as he writes. Now, what does it mean that he is saying to my friend?

M. Laitman: It means connection, it implies that he is in friendship and in connection with the one he is writing to.

Student: When he writes to my students and to my friends, is that something higher?

M. Laitman: No, no, clearly, my friends mean something very close.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:26) He writes, therefore the voice of the Creator needs to come in the feeling of the heart. What does it mean that the voice of the Creator comes in a feeling of the heart?

M. Laitman: We can't otherwise hear, of course, it seems to be through the ears but it's all through the heart. The extent to which our heart, our will to receive, is organized in such a way that we feel close to each other, and how to feel in the common heart what we have to attain.

Student: How do I discern between the usual things in my heart, my will to receive that awakens all kinds of nonsense all the time. And the voice of the Creator that is there?

M. Laitman: That's one who feels his heart, one who works on the heart. One who can discern between different forms that the heart changes, then he already understands what it's about.

Student: Meaning, when we say that the heart hears, does it mean that there awakens in a person a desire? That's how we hear in the heart?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And how do we discern now a desire that comes from the Creator and a desire that doesn't come from the Creator? Or does everything come from the Creator?

M. Laitman: This is discerned through a desire that it comes from the Creator, and we hear it, we feel it through the friends. We don't have any direct contact, only through the friends.

Student: Meaning, that if there's a desire that awakens in a person that comes through the influence of the Ten, from the Friends, is that the voice of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Through that, he hears the voice of the Creator.

Student: Okay, so the influence of the society is not that it just takes you to a good direction. But it's that in, if we sharpen this definition, it's really the revelation of the Creator in the person.

M. Laitman: Yes, I would say it's the condition.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:29) I wanted to ask on that he writes that the person is the heart?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does it mean that the person is the heart, what is exactly this heart?

M. Laitman: It's the center of all of the perception, vessels, and the heart is the result of man's work. Man's work is the heart.

Student: Why do we feel the voice of the Creator in the heart?

M. Laitman: Where else can we feel the voice of the Creator?

Student: Why is it not the thing that we hear? We relate to the heart as something external, and the voice of the Creator, we hear in the heart?

M. Laitman: The heart responds to the Creator's address to the person. And therefore, it responds to all that the Creator addresses to him, that's how it's felt inside the heart. The heart is a place where all man's vessels awaken, and that's how it's called.

Student: All the connection between the person and the Creator, we always talk about it as coming from the connection between us. But here we see that all the connection is through the heart?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, where is connection if all the connection of a person?

M. Laitman: The connection is inside the heart, also, the connection between us comes from the connection of the hearts.

Student: Yesterday, you spoke in the morning and also at the meal, that through the connection between us, we will start identifying new forces, new things within the connection. What should we seek in the efforts to connect?

M. Laitman: How we connect, what influences the connection between us? How do we examine ourselves, whether we are moving towards connection, entering it? It is all felt in the heart. Then precisely in the heart, we begin to feel the result from the connection between us.

Student: How do we develop an aspiration in the heart for connection so that we really run after it all the time?

M. Laitman: Try to have the friends stand within your heart at all times, in all situations. Then the heart will begin to respond and feel and explain to you where you are.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:21) It is felt that Rabash really wants us to open our hearts, but he writes here that if you hear my voice then you will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation and the remedy for all the nations. It's a condition for opening the hearts if we are a kingdom of priests, is that right?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course That's what we need first.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:54) When you speak about the heart, what is exactly the heart?

M. Laitman: The heart is the place where a person feels his center, the center of his efforts, of his connection with the Creator. All of that is considered, heart.

Student: And do we have control of that place? Is it in our control?

M. Laitman: Directly no, but through the efforts we make then we come to a state where the heart begins to be felt in making an effort in trying to expand oneself and feel within himself all that is outside of him.

Student: So, is this kind of general peak of efforts that we engage in in the path that we apply in quality and quantity, also at the meal, you spoke about that. And as much as that expands, it seems, in quality and in quantity, so the person starts feeling it closer, that thing? What does it mean to insert or to open the heart, or to put the friends into the heart? What is this opening of the heart?

M. Laitman: To feel them as close, and that they activate one's heart, and through them one activates his heart.

Student: So, if the heart is this inclusive of all the efforts that we do. So, inserting the friend into the heart is to include them in this common participation, to feel them as a part of that?

M. Laitman: Yes, correct

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:03) In addition to what you explained now to the friend, first I understood that the heart is the desire, the desire to receive?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Now, you also said to the other friends, you talked about the connection of hearts, about a common heart. What is really to connect the desires, if that's the case, to connect the desire to receive?

M. Laitman: To connect the desires, to connect the hearts, that's basically our entire work. We have to reach a state where all the desires, passions, aims, and intentions, and goals will all unite together and appear within us. Within the person, in such a way, that we can feel them as one.

Student: Meaning, the connection of hearts is that we all yearn for the same goal?

M. Laitman: Yes, one heart, as one man and one heart.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:36) Can I ask to read this excerpt where it's not so clear, where is the reader? Where it's the matter of all the nations, where we see, hear the voices? Okay, we're in the section, this is the meaning of…

Reader: “And the whole of the people were seeing the voices.” When the voice of the Creator is heard in the heart, that feeling is as sufficient as actual seeing “for man shall not see Me and live.” However, by seeing the voices, meaning by the voice of the Creator spreading into the heart, not into the ear—for the ear is external and only the heart is the man—hence, the voice of the Creator must be felt in the heart. That is, it.

Student: So, my question to you, the heart, now we're in the heart of the Shavuot, the heart of the reception of the Torah, the giving of the Torah. What I understood is that the reception of the Torah is that we feel the voices, not hear the voices.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And it says here that all the people are seeing the voices. So, we're seeing the voices and we're not hearing the voices. What does it mean when he writes that?

M. Laitman: A higher degree of attainment.

Student: And he says that it all expands in the heart and not the ear. So, what do we actually hear?

M. Laitman: We hear through the heart how the Creator addresses us.

Student: What we hear today is not real, it's not true?

M. Laitman: Today we are deaf, what do you mean?

Student: How do we reach a state where we start hearing the voices, seeing the voices?

M. Laitman: To see the voices?

Student: To see the voices, what does that mean?

M. Laitman: It means that we are connecting to what the Creator wants to deliver to us.

Student: And then we feel it in the heart?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, the reception of the Torah is something we feel in the heart, it's not something that we logically hear through the ear?

M. Laitman: Yes. Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:22) In the continuation of the scrutiny of the heart, can we say that I need to think ten times before I say something to the friend in the Ten because through the friends I want to feel the Creator, I want to hear His voice?

M. Laitman: Again.

Student: Should I think ten times before I speak to the friend in the Ten because I want to hear the Creator's voice through that?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course, that's serious.

Student: And then it could be that by saying or not saying, I silence everything, or I open everything?

M. Laitman: It's important that you know what you're saying, what you're communicating to the friends.

Student: Where is this boundary, where do I cross the boundary?

M. Laitman: This is man's sensation.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:36) In relation to the yearning, here he writes, we should aspire for good things, and that is called, a prayer. There's a part of me that sees the aspiration as a spice, that I've created the Torah, I've created the evil inclination in the Torah as a spice. And also, the aspiration, that's how it seems to me in the system, that it's this spice. Is that a correct direction, or should I not think that way?

M. Laitman: I don't know, in the meantime, put it aside.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:24) You said that the heart responds to the Creator's address to the person and also that we hear through the heart how the Creator speaks to us. What happens to the heart in the meeting of the texts with the Kabbalists and the Creator? For example, the one that we just read, does it help to hear what the Creator tells us through these means?

M. Laitman: If we wish to feel in our heart what the Creator wants to tell us, to reveal to us. Then we have to be connected among us as one man and one heart, well as much as possible, as much as we can. And in such a way, we'll attain what He's talking about.

Student: The question is in our work toward the Creator, in reading these texts of the prayer, for instance, or in general the texts of Kabbalists. Does it help us when we turn to Him, to hear better what He is telling us?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course.

Reader: You say that we need to connect as much as possible. But what if, in general, it's not possible, what can we do? For example, there's a lock, there's a boundary, there's concealment.

M. Laitman: There's prayer.

Student: Of what?

M. Laitman: There's a prayer that you, then, need to pray.

Student: What should we pray for?

M. Laitman: What do you discover that you're lacking?

Student: That I cannot even say that there's even a beginning of connection with the friends.

M. Laitman: Even that much, so all the more so. If the Creator shows you how disconnected you are, then you have room to start, to start asking.

Student: What is the revelation in that?

M. Laitman: It's the revelation of the deficiency.

Student: What does that mean, what should I do? Should I have more concealment, more of a lack of ability?

M. Laitman: No, why? The fact that the Creator reveals to you that you have no connection with Him, that should awaken you to search for connection.

Student: I should search, but sometimes there's this complete blackness, darkness.

M. Laitman: All right, and then start looking how to reach that beginning of that connection, anyway.

Student: And prayer is enough here?

M. Laitman: Prayer is enough in any case.

Student: I need this prayer to be for that in which I can start connecting and for friends. How should I characterize that prayer more precisely?

M. Laitman: The more you attain the power of prayer, that's what you'll begin to do. It doesn't matter what happens. What matters is what you feel, how you accept it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (32:02) He writes here about hearing through the ear or hearing through the heart.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: It's, as if, two opposed things. Sometimes with the mouth, he says that if the mouth and the heart are not equal, then there's some kind of lie here, and the person needs to hear through the heart.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If our spiritual education we receive from Kabbalists, from the teacher, from the Kabbalists through you. And from you, we're listening to you for many years. What does it mean, listening to the teacher, through the heart and not through the ear? What is this change where we should seek to hear the teacher through the heart, and not through the ear or from the mouth?

M. Laitman: That depends on man's preparation, what he wants to hear.

Student: In the ear, I know that each one hears whatever he wants, through the will to receive. If you don't want to get up at night if the baby's crying, so you don't hear that. That's according to the will to receive, whatever enters or doesn't enter there, there's a certain stopper there that operates. So, what does it mean to rise above that, and you try to hear through the heart and not through the ear?

M. Laitman: Desire, that you develop the desire so that you can hear the Creator, hear the friends, the teacher. And thus, you come to a solution.

Student: You give us advice, that I write it down in a book or in a notebook. Should I seek in your words what you want to say? Or just to hear and to do, or just to change it? What should I do with what I hear from you?

M. Laitman: That's already your inner state, I'm not telling you what you should do. You equalize what you hear and what you wish to hear. And that's how you move forward and advance.

Student: How can we arrange ourselves in the Ten to hear better?

M. Laitman: You get closer to it, that's clear, what can you add here? The closer to the friends you become, you hear, you better understand what they're saying. And they too try to turn to you better and communicate more to you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:21) What does it mean that the friends act in the person's heart?

M. Laitman: That where the person feels in the heart comes from the friends.

Student: I feel that there are friends who work more on my heart, and those who work less on my heart. What does that depend on, and is that the correct process? Does that depend on the closeness between us?

M. Laitman: It's a process of getting closer among you.

Student: And in the beginning, there's some more sometimes?

M. Laitman: Yes, it will always be the case, some more, some less.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:02) For us to be awarded with saying that you chose us, so that we'll feel all the good things that the Creator promised us, as it is written. So, we seemingly need to receive the Torah. How should we depict this state of the reception of the Torah?

M. Laitman: That we connect between us because it's impossible otherwise. And then in our common desire, we turn to the Creator, and we ask Him to fulfill our desire.

Student: Is that one state?

M. Laitman: There's clearly a whole ladder of degrees here, it's all inside. But it all starts from wanting to be connected to a vessel for the revelation of the Creator.

Student: Is there in the Torah the reforming light, the Torah as a spice? These are paths and means to reach the reception of the Torah?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:32) You said earlier that in the meantime, we are deaf. Meaning until a person does not attain Kedusha, so he cannot hear the voice of the Creator. And in the meantime, the voices we hear are voices of the will to receive? What are the voices that we hear?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And what should we do with these voices?

M. Laitman: Not to do anything, we need to tune our ear to a different frequency.

Student: To the frequency of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Turkiye 3): (38:26) How can we awaken such a yearning that the Torah will turn into my second nature?

M. Laitman: That we simply have to want that to happen that way. That in our connection we penetrate into our collective will, desire. And thus, we come to the revelation of the Creator.

Question (Tel Aviv 1): (39:16) It is written here that the matter of reception of the Torah is mainly the internality of the Torah dressed in the externality. What is the internality of the Torah, the externality of the Torah, and what does it mean that the internality is clothed in the externality?

M. Laitman: The internality of the Torah is the light, the light of Torah. And the externality of the Torah are the words we could say or write or read. So, we have to long for the internality of the Torah, in short.

Student: And the internality is the one that feels one for the others?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Reported, as if?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Kyiv 1): (40:18) What does it mean that we penetrate through the connection between us to the common desire where the Creator becomes revealed?

M. Laitman: That's how we're built, that the connection between us, which we now wish to attain. It helps us reach the internality of our collective vessel.

Question (Women Kyiv 7): (40:55) If we reveal and hear the voice of the Creator together through the connection between us, can that bring about a shattering or that we lose our forces?

M. Laitman: No, this cannot bring us to a shattering.

Question (Haifa 1): (41:24) We will do, and we will hear, we need to do that. I hear the friends saying that in relation to one friend or another, and you always say that personal example. I am sharing that personal example for me is Joseph, his brothers wanted to kill him. And then for money, they managed to sell him as a slave, but they wanted to kill him and there is no greater hatred than that. Therefore, he is an example for me of what is called that love will cover all crimes because he accepted upon himself, and he embraced his brothers, and he chose truth. Where truth is the Creator who did, does and will do truth.

M. Laitman: All right, all right, all right, I got you. Very well.

Question (German): (42:47) It is written that a person needs to aspire for receiving the internality of the Torah. The question is how can we help the friends strengthen this yearning for the Torah?

M. Laitman: Only through examples, connection and example. There's no more for us to do but we have sufficient forces. So that through the connection and the example that each one wants to give to the other. We are capable of reaching the goal.

Student: Is it worthwhile for us to speak to each other about our yearning for the Torah, for the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes, we can, of course. If we pass on strength and passion towards each other, then it's certainly worthwhile.

Student: How can we correctly bring our part to the world, to bestow to the world in a positive manner?

M. Laitman: Only through our connection, where we learn from the articles of Rabash, how to make corrections. And then we will use them so as to be connected and raise that to the Creator.

Student: Maybe you can tell us what concrete steps should we take in order to deepen our connection with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Only the connection between us and prayer to the Creator. Two steps we have here, connect between us and turn to the Creator.

Question (Hadera 1): (45:31) Should we see the process that we're going through? For example, the Exodus from Egypt and then the counting of the Omer. Where we only see ourselves in that we are connected in this external manner, and then at the reception of the Torah, we should seek that more internal connection?

M. Laitman: What are you trying to promise us on the path? No, no, no, we don't need that, we want to immediately get to the connection between us and with the Creator. And all the degrees that we went through before, that they'll appear within us all at once.

Student: Meaning, we shouldn't see the process we're going through but just focus on our current moment.

M. Laitman: So, as I said, as I said.

Question (Women HEB 1): (46:53) I wanted to ask, how do we aim our heart correctly in order to hear the voice of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Through the friends, through friends. Of course, you can't aim your heart at the Creator. It will always be a mistake and simply, just wrong, only through the friends. When you want their benefit, you want their connection and incorporation with the Creator, that's how you advance correctly.

Question (Women Moscow 6): (47:39) How should we work on the heart in order for it to change?

M. Laitman: We have to include into each and everyone's heart, all the friends. And then our heart will certainly be aimed in the right direction and thus will advance.

Question (Woman Spain): (48:20) Is there a connection, some kind of connection, between intuition and the voice of the Creator the person hears?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, no, it doesn't go through any vessels but the heart, itself. If all the rooms of the heart are aimed, correctly, that a person hears the Creator, you feel that He exists in your heart.

Question (Women MAK): (49:05) What is this inner vision that testifies to seeing the Creator?

M. Laitman: When we wish to see and see only Him putting us through all of the vessels. Through the Red Sea, through the desert, leading us to the meeting with the Creator.

Student: The feeling that Rabash speaks about in the letter. Is it a feeling that comes from a corrected desire, gratitude? Does it happen at the moment of correction or is it a feeling that is an outcome of correction?

M. Laitman: It holds that correction, within.

Question (Women Turkiye 5): (50:31) What is the difference between inner vision and hearing the voice of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Seeing and hearing are two different vessels for connection with the Creator. Seeing is closer and hearing is farther, and we'll learn more about the differences between all of man's senses. And how we can tie them one by one to the Creator.

Question (Women MAK 26): (51:19) Why does Rabash write that due to the sanctity of the Shabbat and the holiday, we cannot appreciate that?

M. Laitman: He just doesn't have time, he is engaged with the people around him, that's why he can't write.

Question (Women Eng 1): (51:49) The article talks about the kingdom of priests. What is the kingdom of priests and how would we know we have achieved the kingdom of priests?

M. Laitman: Well, when it becomes revealed, we'll know we got there. More than that, I'm not going to interpret, right now.

Question (Women KabU 2): (52:21) He writes, the Torah is names of pleasures, where each pleasure has a different name. Are the pleasures, correction?

M. Laitman: It depends on how we accept them.

Question (Women Latin 26): (53:08) The question is how is shame created and how does it help us meet with the Creator? And why and how does shame serve a person?

M. Laitman: Shame guards the person from using certain vessels that could bring him shame, using them. And therefore, that's good, it guards us.

Question (Kyiv 3): (54:09) Is it possible to unite the hearts if not everyone in the Ten agrees that this is the only way to hear the voice of the Creator?

M. Laitman: That's not good, we need to reach a state where everyone wants the same thing, doing the same work, and expecting the same result.

Student: Sometimes I simply hear that friends hear the voice of the Creator without connection to the Ten. What does that mean, what are they hearing?

M. Laitman: I don't know, I don't believe that a person can hear the Creator's voice without connecting. First, in an act of bestowal with the other friends.

Student: Let's say a few of the friends agree that it is the only way to hear the voice of the Creator, through our hearts. Do these friends, can they hear the voice of the Creator, or do all the friends in the Ten need to agree to that?

M. Laitman: I don't believe they can do that, that way, and hear.

Student: Those few friends who agree that this is the only path, the only way to do it. Can they do that?

M. Laitman: I doubt it, yes, it needs to be the entire Ten. All right, friends, what are we doing next?

Reader: We have letter 42, which we can read.

M. Laitman: Letter 42. Well, it's short, go ahead.

Reader: (56:19) The writings of Rabash. We are in letter 42.

Reading Article: (56:28) Letter No. 42

Hello and all the best to my friend,

I wrote you a letter before Passover, but since the address was incorrect, the letter returned. Now, before the festival of Shavuot, which is the time of the giving of our Torah, I shall write you a few lines…

The preparation for the Torah, as it pertains to us, is the matter of fear, as it is written, “And the people encamped, as one man with one heart.” This means that they all had one goal, which is to benefit the Creator. It follows…

We should understand how they could be as one man with one heart, since we know what our sages said, “As their faces are not similar to one another, their views are not similar to one another,” so how could they be as one man with one heart?

Answer: If we are saying that each one cares for himself, it is impossible to be as one man, since they are not similar to one another. However, if they all annul their selves and worry only about the benefit of the Creator, they have no individual views, since the individuals have all been canceled and have entered the single authority.

This is the meaning of what is written, “The view of landlords is opposite from the view of Torah.” It is so because the view of Torah is canceling the authority, as our sages said, “‘If a man dies in a tent,’ the Torah exists only in one who puts himself to death,” meaning he puts himself to death, namely his self-gratification, and does everything only for the Creator.

This is called “preparation for reception of the Torah,” since it is written that it is forbidden to teach idol-worshippers the Torah, as it is written, “He shall not do so to any nation, and they do not know the ordinances”.

M. Laitman: Questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (59:56) You answered that the heart sustains the corrections inside. So, I want to understand, what's the force between us that can hold us in that longing?

M. Laitman: If some people want something together. By that, they maintain this yearning between them.

Student: If now I put all the friends in my heart as my qualities, can I say that there's like a main quality that directs them?

M. Laitman: We'll get to that later, it's still far.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:53) I'm trying to understand what to connect, as one man with one heart, means. If a person wants to connect with his Ten, he doesn't have to be with them physically, right? He can think of them.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Is that enough, that one person thinks of the Ten and wants connection? Or at the same time, all the friends need to want that connection?

M. Laitman: Of course, that it's important that everyone wants it.

Student: If I'm somewhere not next to my friends, now, can I think about them? I don't know what they want at that exact moment, maybe they're busy.

M. Laitman: Also, important.

Student: So, what do I do, I want to feel connection with my friends now but I'm not with them physically, and I don't know what they're doing now. Maybe they're at work, children?

M. Laitman: That doesn't matter, your desire operates.

Student: So, when you say that everyone needs to want connection. So, they have that in them even though they're not really thinking about it right now?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And from here, to reach hearing the Creator. Let's say a person created a connection, so I have to develop this place that has this inner dialogue of questions, and is expecting answers?

M. Laitman: That would be better, yes?

Student: Because you said to aim at a different frequency. How do I calibrate myself?

M. Laitman: Through the reading of the articles, we incorporate what Rabash writes to us. And then, we align ourselves towards keeping his desires, his will.

Student: So, the frequency is only through articles, that's the best way to tune yourself?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And to calibrate ourselves to Rabash’s desire?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: To feel what He wants of us?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That we're reading an article, it's as if He's relating to us through the writings?

M. Laitman: Yes, and that much should be clear.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:03:32) Continuing the friend, it connects to the other article. That the deficiency is that a person has to expect when he's going to feel all the good things the Creator wants to give him.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And that the internality of the Torah is the pleasure from the Creator and so on. So, how, by a person awakening the expectation, how does he create the deficiency that the benefit of the Creator is what he expects to feel in the heart?

M. Laitman: Yes, each one helps his friend.

Student: How?

M. Laitman: All of us through speech, prayer, action. We calibrate ourselves such that we're all aligned towards that same place, the same state.

Student: A lot of times we don't really, there's something that a person can feel in the heart the good things of the Creator. We don't have it, we want that, we want to feel it. So, prayer, connection, but is there a way to be more precise?

M. Laitman: There is greater precision, but I don't hear from you that we're ready to do something by our own initiative. But, rather, we're waiting for the Creator to shine upon us and then we'll do something.

Student: So that's a question: What else, if by talking about it all day, you're adding it to our Ten?

M. Laitman: We need to come closer to one another, if you expect a response from the Creator, as He will want to bring us closer.

Question (Women Turkiye 8): (01:05:45) How does a person know he received the Torah?

M. Laitman: It's when he's in a decree, where his heart connects to the rest of the hearts of the friends; and where they are all filled by the upper light.

Student: What is the ultimate good, how do you attain that?

M. Laitman: The ultimate good is love, the love of the world. I shall love you. That is the absolute good.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:06:38) What does it mean that all the individuals will be canceled?

M. Laitman: Where is it written?

Student: Rabash wrote that all the individuals were annulled and entered the single authority.

M. Laitman: Yes, that's the connection, complete connection.

Student: If all the individuals are canceled, where is each one's uniqueness? Is there such a thing?

M. Laitman: No, it vanishes inside the general connection.

Student: What remains of each one?

M. Laitman: It would seem that it's not necessary that anything would remain. Why should it remain?

Student: What remains, or what is created?

M. Laitman: Personal, you mean, individual?

Student: From what I know myself today, what's left of it?

M. Laitman: Nothing, why should anything remain?

Student: I'm asking.

M. Laitman: No.

Student: Nothing, so what will there be? What am I that I'll feel?

M. Laitman: The I, me, would be the general force, the general connection, rather. The general sensation of everyone.

Student: What's that contradiction that I'm lacking here because on one hand, it's contradicting, on the other hand, we're connecting above. So, when everyone is canceled, what is left?

M. Laitman: There's no contradiction, being is one man in one heart.

Student: It's not against a certain state?

M. Laitman: No, it's opposite what was before. But it's not that they exist simultaneously.

Student: And what was there before?

M. Laitman: Before, each one had his own desire, his own ego, his own goal.

Student: So, before that also disappears, it's not felt anymore?

M. Laitman: Of course.

Student: So, the advantage of light through the darkness, there's no more darkness, only light?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: (01:09:05) He writes that the preparation for the Torah is the matter of fear, as the nation camped is one man with one heart. So, I remember that fear is that he's afraid that he won't bestow enough contentment to the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: And here he connects it to being one man with one heart. So, it's a social thing, fear?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader:: How do we stabilize this, make sure that all society will be in such a fear?

M. Laitman: We need to make sure that the fear will be an outcome of the connection of desires, yearnings, and goals, together.

Reader: And that's in one Ten or in all our society?

M. Laitman: Well, that depends on where we are, already.

Reader: But what's sufficient, here, what is needed?

M. Laitman: What is needed is for each and every Ten to see this as its goal.

Reader: And when it'll be in every Ten that will include all of society?

M. Laitman: I don't know, I don't know, we're not yet in that, and I don't know. I cannot say that this is how it should happen. You could say that, of course, yes, it should happen, that we're all going to be as one man in one heart and there's no hindrance anymore but live and see.

Reader: If, in the Ten, we work in order to be in fear towards bestowing contentment to the Creator. That should be felt as more approachable to work on it, or is there more exertion on behalf of the Ten there?

M. Laitman: I don't understand.

Student: We work in all kinds of directions, sometimes we're precisely aimed to this, to fear. Sometimes connection, let's call it corporeal, daily.

M. Laitman: And?

Student: If we only work on fear, well, maybe not only, but if we work on it, it should be felt as something that's right. We should see more success in it?

M. Laitman: I think so, I think so.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:11:52) Also the same topic, if we say that each one is concerned of himself, so we can’t be as one man with one heart, that's clear.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: They're not similar to one another but when everyone annulled their own authority and were only concerned of the Creator's authority, their opinions are not individual views because all the individuals have been canceled and enter the single authority. What is it when everyone is only concerned about the Creator, why is it against individual views?

M. Laitman: Because then it's a situation where you're concerned about the collective, the widest, biggest, highest inclusion, let's call it, which is the Creator. And then each one emerges out of his individuality and is enmeshed, incorporated in that general vessel.

Student: So, each one of us is concerned about the collective but still each one has a view on how to be concerned of the collective. There is something individual that he is concerned. So, what's annulling his own authority?

M. Laitman: Annulling one's own authority means that for him, the connection of everyone as one entity, is the most desirable goal, most important.

Student: And in that collective he doesn't exist?

M. Laitman: Within that collective why does he not exist? He exists as well.

Student: Because it says that he would die in the tent, what dies?

M. Laitman: What was before, his individuality.

Student: So that individuality: When being concerned of the collective, it doesn't exist?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: So, what is that he that exists in that collective? That it's not as it was before, what's that new self?

M. Laitman: That which connects everyone, that which connects everyone.

Student: So, each and every one feels that he's the one connecting everyone?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: He does it in a special way, a different way, his own way?

M. Laitman: Of course, we should say that it's his own special way but other than that, I do not know.

Student: I'm trying to understand what he leaves behind and what's this new clothing?

M. Laitman: What pertains to the collective and he wants to abstain from that. And so, to remain as an individual.

Student: Can we say that every desire of a person to control that he leaves behind and annulling himself will renew?

M. Laitman: In other words, yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:16:17) Each one can give some personal exertion of himself but how to help the friends make the scrutiny? How to make the effort, now?

M. Laitman: Scrutinize it, what do you want from me?

Student: I want to ask if our common heart is at the point where all our views connect?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:16:54) Don't we receive the Torah every day in the morning lesson?

M. Laitman: Is that half a question or what?

Student: I'm asking if it's not the same thing. What's the difference in receiving the Torah, if we don't receive it every day in the lesson?

M. Laitman: Let's say we don't, then what? I don't hear a question.

Student: The question is what do we receive in the morning lesson, if it's not the Torah?

M. Laitman: We receive, but each one to the extent that he demands.

Student: What's the condition to receive the Torah?

M. Laitman: Being connected to the friends, being in one heart with them. And making an effort to adhere that collective heart, that common heart, to the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:18:16) What's self-annulment, what are the conditions to reach that?

M. Laitman: The conditions for annulling oneself towards the Creator are, well, annulling himself towards the friends.

Student: When a Ten gathers, I could be immersed in my own desires but along with them, I'm directed to the goal, and I get forces from them. Maybe, I also give some force, so, does it matter what happens inside. What my desires are that I'm immersed in them? Or what's important is being incorporated in them?

M. Laitman: It all matters.

Student: And I have to expect to cleanse my heart from desires of my own, completely?

M. Laitman: Yes. Well, what's next?

Reader: We're going to the next part of the lesson from the Arvut, and we'll sing a song, first.

Song: (01:19:30)
