Daily Lesson (Morning), February 28, 2024.

Part 1: Rabash. Article No. 31, 1988. What Is the Work of Man, in the Work that Is Attributed to the Creator?

Reading (00:44) “It is written in the Zohar…”

1. S. (58:00) It's written, the time when a person enjoys from something and blesses it there is a renewal of faith that he needs to believe that the Creator gave him that pleasure. What is this renewal of faith that he's speaking about?

R. A feeling that the Creator sends him.

S. It's a renewal in what?

R. Because previously, precisely this discernment he didn't enjoy he didn't even notice it.

S. Meaning a person's nature where he enjoys out of his own nature he doesn't attribute that to the Creator?

R. Of course.

S. That's logical because when a person suffers or lacks something he immediately thinks of the Creator because he needs Him.

R. Yes.

S. How can we get used to the time of enjoyment that the Creator's the one bringing that enjoyment to us? Are there any exercises we can do?

R. Well, think about it, talk about it.

S. He writes something but I don't know if I understand it correctly. He writes that we get corporal pleasure from something corporeal and so we can bless that, is that a correct exercise? Is that a good exercise?

R. The fact that we bless or say grace for corporal pleasure is good as well, yes.

2. S. (59:54) When we study that’s also pleasure.

R. Yes

S. What is a blessing on the time of our study?

R. This is what we have to do before the learning the lesson, the blessing before the learning.

S. What is the blessing? Not what we say with our mouths but what is the blessing that we want to attain from the study?

R. That relation that we are now getting through the light that shines on us, the reforming light we will demand from our learning the right goal, the revelation of the Creator through the equivalence of form with Him.

S. Then what do we do when the pleasure comes to the mind when we suddenly understand something that we grasp something that we did not see earlier?

R. This is not so, it doesn't really disrupt.

S. I'm asking because it says that there's light that the person enjoys from that is nature and that causes separation and distancing, remoteness or a person is adhered to the goal, to the Creator and that connects him to the purpose of creation, which is actually the correction that he's performed here.

R. But still he comes closer to the source either in a good way or a bad way but he comes closer to the Creator

S. From the study?

R. Yes, from the feeling he gets from the Creator during the study.

3. S. (01:02:24) It is really felt that the article is full of goodness. There is some fear to cause a flaw in that but we’ll incorporate with it anyway. A basic question, it’s that Abraham revealed to the world that he suffered pains and then he attributed it to the landlord. How could it be that some Kelim or how could it be that a person reveals bad, evil? If he only has vessels of reception he should only feel the good and pleasure that the Creator wants to bestow upon those Kelim? How can a person that has no vessel of bestowal, how could it be some kind of bad there if in the vessels of reception he is only supposed to receive good?

R. A person initially has both, both vessels of receptions and vessels of bestowal. He has impressions, he’s got vessels, he's got a feeling. What he does here from the learning is that if he has some barrier, if he wants to know who causes his feeling by this he begins to approach the Creator.

S. The feeling of bad, evil or suffering only reveals to a person who seeks the Creator?

R. It depends what kind of suffering. Everyone suffers in life, all of life is suffering but the reason for the suffering, what is the force that causes him suffering? This is already a purposeful matter and a person discovers it as the upper force.

S. A person who is not aimed to the goal yet how can he reveal this world of suffering?

R. With his senses.

S. Why with the sense he has which are only vessels of reception, how could it be that in the vessels of reception he will feel bad or there’s a restriction?

R. He does not feel that he is full, satisfied, happy with his life

S. Because what happened? He has some new vessels? Why would he suddenly feel bad? In what vessels does he feel bad?

R. In the vessels of reception

S. The rest of the reception should only be for the pleasure he wants to give?

R. But he does not have it.

S. He does not have pleasure?

R. Right.

S. That's the question, in what vessels is it felt if he has no pleasure in the vessels of reception that means that he has the vessels of reception but they're empty?

R. Yes.

S. We can receive, there is this restriction on concealment but we can receive vessels in which we cannot receive the feeling of goodness yet?

 R. Obviously, this is why we are dissatisfied with life.

S. We’re dissatisfied with life so we have new vessels and they're empty?

R. I don't know about new vessels, empty vessels yes and then we search what is the reason.

4. S. (01:07:02) He writes, the matter of blessing is a matter of qualification of the vessels, what does that mean?

R. That the person corrects the vessel in order to feel that from them he wants to bless the Creator and then through his work on his part he can now receive from the Creator some filling in the vessels which he corrected.

S. A blessing we perform on anything that has pleasure?

R. Anything that stands before the pleasure before filling our vessels.

S. You said to the friend that when we receive pleasure in order to receive so there is no blessing if I understood correctly. I'll simply ask, that a person blesses that is something that relates to receiving for himself and also that he goes to bless something. How here could a person not intend in order to receive, meaning that he goes, I'm blessing the Creator, am I recognizing the Creator and I want to do it in order to bestow, how does he do that?

R. Well?

S. How do I not turn the blessing in that I bless the pleasure into more pleasure in order to receive?

R. That is the whole point of the blessing, that by this you are preparing the vessel to be in bestowal and in order to bestow.

S. That I don't enjoy from the pleasure?

R. It depends on the state you are in, whether you enjoy the pleasure or you are enjoying performing the act.

5. S. (01:09:26) In the end of the article he mentioned that we have to invent vessels of bestowal, to find them.

R. Yes.

S. What does that mean because the vessels, it all depends on us, He wants to constantly fulfill us and we have to bring that deficiency every time. What does that mean? How do we make, find a new deficiency every time?

R. Finding a deficiency every time means that we are thinking through what actions can we bring pleasure to the Creator that will fill all the pleasures in the creation.

S. There's the actual blessing that I wake up in the morning and first I think the Creator for coming to the lesson, coming to connect with the friends, the fact that I even feel in this article that Rabash gave us an attitude towards the Creator towards the Giver?

R. Yes.

S. How does He actually want us to be His partners in this system? How does He raise us in our attitude towards Him and want through that fear that through the blessing that we’ll actually get the vessels of reception but through the intention that we want to pass it on and not leave it in ourselves as reception for ourselves but actually wanting to give it because that is my role as a part of the Creator and I feel how the Rabash strengthens that between us and the Creator in the connection.

R. Right, right.

S. I can just give gratitude for this article. I got really excited, I read it three times and every time I'm very excited again from it.

R. (No comment)

6. S. (01:11:28) He says in the beginning of the article that the difference between man and the rest of the creation, the beasts or secular people that there’s a ruler over the city and once he finds him so in the end he says that there is one person that has to get this whole blessing, that his mother and father want to bless the whole world with that same blessing. If I see in my friend in the Ten, that man that is supposed to get the blessing, how should I as a friend in the Ten help him bless and not slander in the way that the whole world will give the blessing through him?

R. I do not know. This is already a different matter. How to convey it or pass it on to a friend through an example, through an example.

S. If the friend isn’t able to bless, to receive the blessing, so what does it mean to be an example to one who blesses?

R. I do not know how to do this. In other words, how can you advise a friend who is completely not in the direction of blessing the Creator, how do you convey to him some message so he will be inverted and want to bless the Creator.

S. I don't have the forces I just want to help him. What does it mean that I'm a friend that helps him by being his friend?

R. Helping? Through example.

S. I'm asking what is an example of a friend that blesses?

R. To show him that you are performing the blessing.

7. S. (01:17:52) First of all the Creator is so great that he sees his brings us here to sit before the Rav together to study thoroughly. Thank you. Is there a difference between gratitude or blessing?

R. It all depends on the person. Anything depends on the person's gratitude results for the past and blessing for the opportunities getting now and he's receiving something now.

S. The blessing is the pleasures in front of me?

R. Yes.

S. What about a press blessing before a prayer that in the blessing there will be faith that the Creator will give. Is that different than what the Rabash is explaining here?

R. I don't understand if someone understands him.

S. I think he's asking what is the difference between a blessing that I feel already got or a blessing that what I asked for I will receive it. I did not get it yet but I believe I'm going to receive it. If there's such a blessing

R I don't know.

S. If we want rain so first of all we need to believe that the Creator can give rain. So there is a difference between the blessing that we need rain and that we need to believe that He can give it and if there's actually rain actually coming down and we want to thank Him?

R. Of course there is a difference.

S. What's the difference because I don't understand much about the prayer book but usually I see that there is bless the Creator for and so on.

R. This is already a blessing for what there is and what we hope to receive.

S. There is no form difference between the former of the blessing?

R. Between what a person hopeful to receive and was a person has already received?

S. Yes.

R. When he blesses for what he received his blessing is clear he sees what he received and He blesses the Creator the one who sent him the rain for example.

S. Before my request I need to put faith that he can give it to me, so what is the need for the blessing what is the difference between this blessing and the blessing that supposedly there is rain already. If I want the rain with the right request I supposedly need to invite the rain it is already on the way.

R. There is a difference between how you relate to the Creator and also in your words. If you wish to invite the rain if you are blessing the Creator for the rain that should verses if you already received the rain. It all depends on your attitude to this action of the Creator.

S. What is the right relation?

R. The right relation, attitude is that you are certain that the rain will come because you are asking the Creator to send it to you.

S. If the rain is already coming down is that only gratitude?

R. What do you need?

S. If the rain already came down I’m happy the Creator is so great. I bless Him for that.

R. Okay

S. In the request I do not feel the difference.

R. If there is still no rain and you are asking it is a different feeling than if you see that there is rain and your blessing over it.

.

S. If there is great happiness when already comes down but if I need before the request of receiving the rain I need to find great happiness how great the Creator is. Then I can place my happiness my blessing as if any action.

R. Very well.

S. Okay, thank you.

R. Only only these people are tough and rough

8. S. (01:19:01) As far as I understand the Rabash explained that blessing is the intention to bestow from the created being without that the abundance cannot spread to the lower ones. Then the person every action including things in this world because it is easier, it’s smaller pleasure has to constantly try and aim in order to bestow. What is the blessing?

S. Now there's a blessing before and after a blessing he says that’s a man’s calculation that he has to do this action in order to bestow?

R. Yes.

S. I have a few questions. How can it be that man can do anything on his own in order to bestow? What’s before and after? What is the fear?

R. Let him pray and ask that he will have the power to do it.

S. So, before the action the blessing is to ask for forces?

R. Perhaps.

S. And after that we received?

R. Yes.

S. The person has to feel that he received the forces to bestow?

R. If you needed them and he received it then let him bless.

S. How's fear connected to this?

R. The fear of whether or not he will receive the answer this is according to the feeling of the person.

S. He explains that supposedly there is no fear with other blessing?

R. Of course.

S. What is the fear that we need?

R. The fear is will I be able to give thanks to the Creator for what he did for me.

9. S. (01:23:10) About fear that has to be the intention to receive some pleasure in the corporeal or spiritual way? In a different article he explained that it could be fear before I have love your friend as yourself. The order starts from love your friend as yourself and only then comes fear that he will not be able to aim towards the Creator in order to bestow. So the article as it is written here says a person is supposed to bless for every corporeal pleasure they receive so that he will not receive it in order to receive but receive it in order to bestow?

R. Yes.

S. What is the right way to work with the corporeal pleasure that supposedly is not connected or maybe they are? What is the right way to work with the intentions.

R. Is this just a question?

S. No, it's not a question it’s about the article. The article he says that I can receive in order to receive because of the disparity of form but I need intention called fear, called blessing.

R. Yes.

S. I'm asking practically how to do this to put an intention on corporeal pleasure?

R. If I feel that I could receive a corporeal material pleasure I should thank the Creator for it and that is it.

S. I'm receiving it in vessels of reception so why am I thanking the Creator?

R. If you are replying, are responding to Him then you can say that you are activating the desire to bestow on your part.

S. What does it mean to answer Him?

R. Blessed are You our Lord our God and so on and so forth.

S. That is the confusion what does it mean to do an intention on the corporeal pleasure and what pleasures are we supposed to put intention on?

R. It does not matter if it's a corporeal or spiritual pleasure you want to thank the Creator for sending you a certain pleasure and that is it.

S. I'm thinking for giving me a lot of money and good things and taste in the food?

R. Let's say, but of course we're not talking about that. I don't understand the question.

S. What pleasures should I do the work of clothing the intention in order to bestow?

R. Every pleasure that comes that you can identify before you you can add the intention to receive it in order to bestow,

S. Thank you and how do I do that work correctly?

R. You need to correctly depict this pleasure as much as possible the pleasure that is brought to you and wrap it in your attitude towards the Creator and you wish to thank him for receiving this pleasure. First of all only because it comes from the Creator and secondly because you are receiving it with the blessing with this reflected light with this attitude towards the Creator and you feel that it is bringing you closer to the Creator.

S. How is the work that you just explained in the intention is connected to the work of connection between us and a group?

R. Because the Creator's attitude towards you is bringing you closer to the Creator.

S. Sorry I did not understand.

R. In carrying out the blessing you are brining the Creator closer to you. You are coming closer to Him on your side. You are taking a step forward towards one another.

S. The work of connection in the Ten is it connected to that?

R. It is before it.

S. What does it mean before that?

R. You were doing all this work of trying to come close to the one another.

S. How is that connected to the fact that I'm getting any kind of pleasure right now?

R. You can now receive this pleasure in the vessels of bestowal.

S. Why?

R. What do you mean why?

S. I did work of connection with a group with the Ten. We did Yeshivat Haverim, we studied together now, I'm getting corporeal pleasure in life? How is that connected to one another?

R. But it does not matter if you are getting a corporeal pleasure or spiritual pleasure if it's coming after an action of connection with the group then you are accepting all those things coming from the Creator.

S. if I want to get that corporal pleasure now not in a corporeal manner but in order to bestow? Or at least to come close to it? How can I now clothe an intention on that corporal pleasure?

R. You feel the intention over corporeal pleasure to be such that you wish to thank the Creator for bringing you closer to the friends bring the friends closer to you and how right now you are able to be able to adhere to one another and in this connection you will reveal the Creator.

S. Thank you.

R. I don't think I understood exactly what you wanted to ask me.

10. S. (01:31:00) The article is about the intention we do upon a deed. In the end of the day should a person perform a calculation where his intention were yes no or just keep going?

R. What do you mean just keep going?

S. I don't know during the day we do all kinds of corporeal actions.

R. You have also action that are not corporeal.

S. I mean in general should I calculate my intentions?

R. Read the Shema prayer on the bed.

S. That is the only action?

R. Yes.

11. S. (01:31:40) To continue this friends it says as long as the person is not worthy to feel who his provider so the Creator clothes in corporeal dressings meaning only in the low dressings where the animals can also feel the pleasure in those clothings but the speaking level can also feel. What does it mean that the Creator is clothed in corporeal pleasures?

R. What is it in everything in bread and sugar and water whatever you want. In sense and sound it is all the Creator clothed in these things and that is why we distinguish all kinds of changes in them. When we connect with those corporeal pleasures we can respond to them on them to the Creator. We can maybe display a pleasure to the Creator because in each and every state he is introducing his light into each form of pleasure and connection and bestow between us and so on and so forth.

S. That cannot make a person adhere to corporeal pleasure?

R. No, he relates it to the Creator.

12. S. (01:31:51) When asked for something from the Creator and what we want is happening does that mean that the request was right?

R. Perhaps.

13. S. (01:34:08) Why does an action without the intention fill the Klipa? It is written in the text that a deed without the intention gives the Klipot forces?

R. Because the intention was there inside the act without the intention.

14. S. (01:34:30) There is something here that really gives us a chills that Rabash writes. Also after a person receives some awakening he does not want to feel enslaved to the Creator and if he takes the knowledge that there is a leader he must perform his command and then he will be in reward and punishment that it's better to say that nature does not have a leader then he can do whatever he wants. So during the day you find yourself that even in an aware manner you chose just to ignore the fact that there is a leader. How at that point can we help each other? How can we overcome that?

R. I do not know but is your calculation with the Creator or not?

S. Yes, the calculations is with the Creator but the inclination is holding you here that yourself is choosing to ignore him.

R. No, no first of all you need to reveal the Creator in the center of your depiction of your portrayal. What forces are at work there operating on you the Creator is in the center of that and then relative to it you aim all your actions because you wish to reply to, to respond to Him.

S. If I have this point I can hold on to that the Creator’s in the center then I’m already on track?

R. Yes, because without it you’ll have nothing. The first condition is There Is None Else Besides Him and he's sending you everything. It does not matter what you are doing. Therefore if you are responding you have to respond to Him and therefore there is no additional action here.

S. We want to king the Creator upon everything. Here is a depicting state I know there is a ruler, a leader but if I say it in awareness so I have to perform his commitment so I'm choosing to ignore his existence.

R. Well if you're choosing to ignore Him you have no calculation with Him.

S. That is my question at that point how can the friends help each other overcome this ignoring the Creator?

R. Example. Set an example to everyone to the whole group that you are making your calculation with the Creator within each and every action that is coming to you. Only an example. These things are extremely concrete, very focused. I receive this awakening from the Creator what to do and what way and so on and so forth. I turn only to Him on my reaction what am I doing, what do I wish him to feel as a result of that and in this way if I keep advancing this way I to my beloved and my beloved to me I succeed very quickly.

15. S. (01:38:20) When you make an intention and when before you go to sleep you aim you want the Creator to wake up and show up in the morning you only really give him gratitude you understand it with your own forces. There’s no chance you will wake up you went to sleep late and it's easy to give graduate and also before all kinds of actions if you're able to aim is great. The question is that sometimes at the end of the day you do a calculation and you see where you succeeded where you didn't and also you say I was with my family and my wife and it was okay but I was not able to bless before an action but I am supposedly blessing for it. I'm thanking the Creator for all the pleasure you gave me. Is that blessing by looking at the past, is that worth anything or did I miss out?

R. Even in retrospect, even in hindsight when you remember later in some form nevertheless is something.

S. So the main thing is to be in contact? You also said reading Shema next to your bed it's confusing we know that there's actual text or do you need to do your calculations inside because there are things that their clothing upon the one another?

R. This means that after that you are doing no more action, you finish reading and you're going to sleep you are disconnecting from reality. Typically they recommend reading the Shema not in bed. It's called on the bed. It means it's by a table and you read it, even wash your hands before reading it.

S. There are lots of blessings they aimed us, I mean in the Jewish tradition. If I do the blessing like it is written down or is my intention enough? Like when I sit down to eat I'm always making an intention always good to read that text though?

R. If there's a value to read that text from the prayer book then lovely. It enters the heart. Not that the Creator understands it or feels it but it penetrates your heart more.

16. S. (01:41:20) According to corporeality we blessed for the food after we eat? I never saw this before but the spiritual vessel if a pleasure comes you can receive in order to receive or receive in order to bestow according to a person's ability and his screen. Where does an action of a blessing come in a spiritual vessel and how much can it change a lack of intention at the beginning of an action?

R. I don't understand where in place of the blessing?

S. Meaning, we learn the four phase of direct light that a pleasure come if I have an ability, a screen I get a pleasure in order to bestow to begin with.

R. Yes.

S. Then I got the pleasure in order to bestow. So where does a blessing even come in and what do you need it for if to begin with I got a pleasure to bestow?

R. No, you're receiving in order to bestow. Your taking something that the host has given you, let's say you are sniffing it, smelling it and you can see, you show Him that you are enjoying it and then you give a blessing. Meaning in this way you give him pleasure and receive pleasure from Him. Is that clear?

S. That is clear.

R. That is how we do it towards the Creator.

S. We make a blessing also if I did something without the right intention still if I bless after the deed that still has a force in it even if I didn't do it correctly?

R. The Creator receives our actions with a great deal of understanding. It is like we are with our children. However it works out.

17. S. (01:43:52) In order to scrutinize between a corporeal action and a spiritual action can we say the corporeal action is that I have no relation to the Creator. is that a corporeal action.

R. Yes.

S. In a spiritual action is the difference between receiving or bestowing is by thanking the Creator for what he gave me? In gratitude then it is bestowing? If I'm not able to give gratitude and I'm complaining so that’s in order to receive?

R. Here you can get confused.

S. So how can we really scrutinize that in my actions there is really even a bit of bestow?

R. Yes, as much as possible but the truth is you need to scrutinize it all the time, arrange it more and more and more. All of our work is in that.

18. S. (01:45:35) He writes that a person should make an intention over pleasure, one he has to believe that the pleasure came from the Creator and not from a different force so is that after the action?

R. I don't know what he is right there.

S. I read that 1. He has to believe that the pleasure he got came from the Creator and not from a different force. So that's after he received the pleasure, before and after?

R. No, he receives a pleasure and now he feels inside this pleasure that it comes from the Creator, and he constructs his reaction on that.

S. When he receives the pleasure?

R. When he receives the pleasure.

S. Then he says that he has to put the intention in order to bestow and he wants the created beings to receive the pleasure. How do we discern in our work what we should do before we get the pleasure or during the pleasure. Let’s say we're in a lesson, this is a pleasure, three hours, so is there a difference in how a person should aim themselves and the Ten? How to aim before the lesson or what intention we want during the lesson and after the lesson when we feel that we got pleasure and what forces, what our attitude should be? That it's not what's in order to receive, work in order to bestow, above reason? What’s the difference between those stages before, during and after?

R. No, it has nothing to do with above reason or below reason and within reason. These opportunities, these options always exist before a person.

S. So there's no way to work in the group of how we call it?

R. Its still not for us the work of the group during the time of the prayer.

S. Why does he write to remain in adhesion while receiving the abundance?

R. Yes.

S. Why in the lesson when a person hears all the questions in the text how during the pleasure he also has this intention on how he receives the pleasure and these forces

R. He receives pleasure from studying with his friends and together you have the intention for the Creator to see them, to connect them, to raise them as high as possible toward Him and they want all these actions to exist in order to respect the Creator so the Creator will derive pleasure from this. That's it.

S. He also writes that the abundance gathered in the holy worlds and with the deed and without an intention he gave forces to the Klipot so a person can make this calculation that if I didn't do the intention it went to the Klipot or it's about the intention?

R. He should know that in this way he feels the Klipot shells but of course he doesn't want it.

S. By yearning to give joy to the Creator he cause equivalent of form in the root of his soul. How can a yearning be enough to change something in the root of his soul?

R. It's enough his vessel, it's his desire is aimed at that of course, his intention is in it.

S. That's why he says that there's also a desire and a yearning?

R. Yes, typically that's how we think about it. Your already allowed to ask.

19. S. (01:50:09) I heard from friends before that the desire comes whether spiritual or corporeal to a person has to scrutinize. How could it be that a desire comes before a person scrutinizes whether it's spiritual or corporeal because the scrutinies need to determine whether the pleasure is corporeal or spiritual or could there come a blessing to begin was corporeal and how to decide to receive it?

R. No, corporeal pleasure doesn't come. The pleasure that comes to us comes always from the Creator but when it clothes in us then you have all sorts of discernments here.

S. So if it's corporeal or spiritual it's what a person determines?

R. I didn't say that a person determines it. I said that it comes from above.

S. But it comes without a form. Does it depend on my effort?

R. Perhaps, but I can't tell how much effort I put in and how much I caused the particle, this pleasure that comes to me to clothe in some reflected light from me. So we cannot scrutinize it yet there's no us I don't see any people here although there are those who are close to it generally speaking, not yet.

20. S. (01:51:54) It's written that the Creator made them fear before Him, that in order for a person to hold the fear called Malchut, kingdom he performs a correction. Once a person let's go of the Malchut, kingdom called faith above reason, the Creator performed a deed of which is that a person right away loses his degree that he thought about spirituality and he falls into the corporeal world. I feel that I'm constantly falling and falling after the lesson. I fall and fall.

R. It’s a sign that you are not holding yourself in spirituality.

S. It's clear it's so clear. So how can you grab the moment and hold it?

R. Prayer prayer.

S. It's so clear.

R. It's good that it's clear.

S. But how do you advance this prayer is also a result? I don't understand how you can hold it all the time?

R. The Creator is giving you a feeling of being disconnected from your spiritual source. So at least be grateful for that and give thanks for that and what can you do? Try.

S. We want to advance.

R. Okay it's clear to us.

21. S. (01:53:40) What does it mean that through the blessing I am the one connecting how can the blessing connect?

R. The blessing connects you with the Creator. A blessing, a prayer that's the medium that connects the blessing is a very powerful work tool it’s quite instrument by which he could perform all of the actions on the path from now until Gmar Tikkun, end of correction. Everything through the prayer.

S. Can I say that by aiming to be the connector between the lower one and the upper one I can enjoy that role?

R. Yes, you can enjoy anything just not instantly but you have to prepare yourself for such an action and then the purpose of creation is to enjoy.

S. No limits.

R. Are you satisfied or keep going?

22. S. (01:55:13) I heard that the blessing is a powerful tool.

R. Very.

S. Can you explain the process of blessing?

R. We have articles about it. Blessing is a deficiency towards the Creator on behalf of the created being. The creative being wants to put the Creator in the highest place he can depict, and by this he opens his heart and truly raises the Creator and raises Him until the highest degree as much as he can understand. That’s a blessing.

S. When a person blesses what is his purpose? What's the goal of a person who is giving a blessing? What should he aspire to?

R. He wants and somewhat gives gratitude to the Creator.

S. The gratitude is not related to the reward, right? What are we thanking Him for? Because the blessing happens before the action.

R. No, and what a person feels he has received from the Creator and the Creator took him into consideration, and pushed him on the right path and in the right direction, so for that a person is thanking the Creator.

S. Meaning for simply having connection to the Creator he's even thinking about the connection?

R. Of course.

S. Is the blessing an important action?

R. Yes, the blessing is a very important action. Look, you thank God you have children?

23. S. (01:58:55) If I understand correctly, the blessing should lead us to inner joy, that's the state that you have to be happy, you have to be grateful for what the Creator arranged for you even though your state may be the worst in the world?

R. Right, yes.

24. S. (01:59:22) Let's say in this article and all the articles in the beginning there was a scrutiny of the purpose of creation is to benefit the created beings and to reach adhesion through the correction of intention and equivalence of form. The question is, in each article they give it an isolated way so we read everything in an incomplete picture? The question is is in each and every article they give us a separate viewpoint?

R. Yes, of course why would he write if not.

S. And together it should give us one picture?

R. That already depends on whoever is reading this.

25. S. (2:00:37) It's felt that life feelings are truthful from that you get to feel at least part of the love of friends. Let’s say when a person comes here he feels an awakening and joy over the years it might diminish but sometimes you get that feeling. The question is, is this the vessel on which you can clothe the blessing, seemingly every corporeal thing that comes to a person's feelings?

R. That depends on the person.

26. S. (2:01:38) I want to use the example about the child who the son inherited orchards and cried but let's say he managed to work the orchards till the fields but with sorrow and then he complains and at the end he gives a blessing. There's another son who received this Orchard and then he blessed and he yielded fruit and he also blessed it. So the difference between the blessings.

R. It could be whole or not whole towards each and every one.

S. Is the blessing whole or complete when they both bless give blessing for the fruit that they got?

R. Yes but each one had his own conditions.

S. I don't understand.

R. Whoever received it happily and knew what to do with the orchard, so he worked and he took people to help him and he sold the fruit from the orchard and he blessed for it blesses his father, because he received the good inheritance from him that now can provide for him for his whole life and whoever didn't want it and received it so even though he somehow eats from it he doesn't understand that he doesn't get a satisfaction for he cannot feel it. That's why there's a difference in the way they are blessed.

S. For example, we do an action of dissemination. One person does it with great sorrow unhappily and the other does it full of joy and he sees the good result before him and they both received the results they enjoy it and they bless it this blessing is really the same?

R. No, it could be that the one that did it without a desire, later on when he does get the result feels more pleasure.

S. Those who sow in tears?

R. Yes, those who sow in tears will reap happily.

27. S. (2:04:40) From the negative side, one who does not give blessings he says one person through his debt he takes all the food and has to reach all the whole world. What does it mean one man?

R. I don't know I can't tell you, it's to get into all kinds of, what's written next to it,

S. No Translation.

R. It's exalted things.

S. If his intention is to give contentment to the Creator not for his own benefit then he doesn't look at the size of the pleasure but the size of the yearning to benefit the Creator, how do we build the yearning and increase it?

R. That is my opportunity to give pleasure to the Creator.

S. How do we awaken this yearning to enjoy the work and not the fulfillment?

R. What fulfillment? My fulfillment is as much as I'm giving. My fulfillment here is as much as I give the Creator that's what I'm enjoying.

28. S. (2:06:19) At the name of the article he's asking a question, what is the work of man and the work that is attributed to the Creator? I'm asking what is the work the action of man that is attributed to the Creator?

R. A deficiency, that a person feels that he has something to base himself on in order to turn to the Creator that comes from the Creator. That is something you have to attribute to the Creator.

29. S. (2:06:58) Is it important to the Creator that the created being will receive pleasure or that he receives connection to that pleasure?

R. It's important to the Creator that the created being gets the fulfillment which is called pleasure, and that it will come to him by attaining all of reality.

S. What's the importance of having this connection without the pleasure?

R. There's no importance, it's all measured according to pleasure. All of our vessels are the will to receive.

S. It’s possible that in the restriction there was no pleasure but there’s connection with the Creator?

R. No, there's no connection.

S. You have to receive the pleasure?

R. Yes, We have to receive the pleasure.

30. S. (2:08:19) A person receives pleasure and you say without pleasure there's no connection to the Creator. How inside this pleasure to find the connection with the Creator and to bless and give blessing for that pleasure?

R. You get a pleasure in this pleasure you can come and contact with the Creator because he sent you this pleasure and you felt it and now through this pleasure you can connect back to the Creator to the source of the pleasure, so the Creator gives you pleasure to the center of your desire, and you by your attitude, by your relation you reach the center of his action. That’s it only organize your mutual relation and then according to your relation the correct type you'll be able to start receiving all of the NRHNY.

S. You're saying in the center of your pleasure you’re starting to build a connection with the Creator but how? I feel the pleasure in me. It does distracts me from the Creator? How to come out of it and focus myself on the Creator?

R. You don't need to be concerned about anything except for wanting receive pleasure from the Creator and giving back your own pleasure not his towards you but yours towards Him also in the same measure as much as you're able to. That’s called the same measure, then you don't have a greater pleasure than that, that you feel that the Creator got pleasure from you and that He is enjoying you like, let's say a mother that receives pleasure from the child, that he's smiling back or doing something. That's it. That’s our work.

S. You said he can receive all of the NRNHY. NRNHY is what I feel and reflected light the way the Creator enjoys it?

R. You get NRNHY from the Creator to the extent that you raise your attitude towards Him. Reflective light yes, and the reflected light you increase the light that comes from him, 620 times more.

31. S. (2:11:48) When losing our state of spirituality leaving the kingdom of heaven, it says in the article it's called faith above reason. So what does it mean actually that these Tens that they keep us from changing the order of the work of faith above reason, exchanging of the order of the work of faith above reason. What does that mean, that the descents prevent us from that?

R. It's clear that it distances us from the Creator that's why we don't have a choice, we need to perform actions towards Him.

S. Are there changes and could there be changes of the order of faith above reason?

R. Yes, that could be but it already depends on the way that it depends more on the friends as much as we want more and more to connect in order to touch the Creator.

S. What is the right order of faith above reason?

R. That depends on our preparation not by now while we're in contact with the Creator that we can answer him but as much as we beforehand are prepared as if we want to be connected with our friends that's first of all, don't think that it's something easy and comes on its own that is something that is essential and very important, and when we are connected with them, we need in our connection to put them there in all kinds of the components of the connection how we can even more be connected and adhered to Him and here we will feel how how to adhere to Him, it'll happen.

32. S. (2:15:19) What advice can you give a person who is building an action before the intention and forgets about it throughout the action?

R. It'll come we'll go through a few more states that the Creator distances him and then he will come back closer correctly.

33. S. (2:16:35) How can I tell that the pleasure is coming from the Creator?

R. If you are aimed towards the Creator in order to bestow towards society, so for sure what you are receiving is from the Creator.

34. S. (2:17:14) Can we give blessing to the Creator even if we don't feel any pleasure but we actually suffer? How can we do it?

R. Yes, even while just as we see from Psalms or all kinds of other places where even if we got blows from the Creator still from the blows we can uplift towards Him and reach a blessing it's possible, as much as possible.

35. S. (2:18:19) If I say bless me thank you. What exactly am I asking you for in this request?

R. To bless means to come closer, to bring closer, to connect.

36. S. (2:18:58) Typically I give a blessing when the Creator gives me pleasure even before using it. I bless the Creator for presenting this pleasure to me and then I bless loudly and everyone here participates. The question is can we do such actions in the tens and the lesson?

R. Yes, please just try to scrutinize it between you as precisely as you can.

37. S. (2:19:49) In the article Rabash writes that if a person doesn't give a blessing then he's lacking the connection between the Upper one and the lower one because of a lack of equivalence of form and then there's no adhesion one who does not bless does not intend to give pleasure to the Creator and he gives power to the other side, the question is it's known in Christianity and Islam that when they bless before the meal over the food even in not for her sake are Muslims and Christians also giving to come into the Creator for that?

R. if I have an opportunity to ask him I'll tell you what they said. I think that with no doubt any person any Beast any bird any fish it doesn't matter who or what. Whoever receives food health the feeling of livelihood they are blessing the Creator and only on us it's something that we have to do through awareness and they are doing it without awareness, that's why they're not mistaken and we can make mistakes and we constantly make mistakes.

38. S. (2:21:45) What kind of work should a person do to bless the states of night when there are difficulties and economic problems and health problems. How to bless them?

39. S. (2:22:39) How to detect and determine that I received from the Creator that I will receive what he's giving me and agree with it and with what I have in this disagreement I will be able to correct what I have?

R. That's according to how much you understand the purpose of the correction and the purpose of creation and your purpose. That's it, you will settle with it.

40. S. (2:23:20) In practice the blessing is the story of the host and the guest. Is this correct?

R. It could be.

S. It's felt that in went a high coarseness it's easier to give the blessing compared to lower coarseness, what can we do here

R. Advance as much as you can and then we will understand more. That’s it.

41. S. (2:24:15) The entire lesson sounded new to me this mutuality with the Creator that we have to feel what he's feeling and show and enjoy the smell of the food as you said?

R. That's what Rabash wrote, yes.

S. It sounds very interesting and motivates you to work in this way. You said I turn only to Him with my response. What do I do and what do I want Him to feel from that and how can a person tell what the Creator should feel from his reactions?

R. Let him scrutinize it.

42. S. (2:25:10) We know that to be grateful is a huge thing. How can we see gratitude and how to be grateful?

R. Pray. Is what you are lacking open the prayer book and start praying as much as each and everyone understands yes, no it doesn't matter. By this you will feel that you are going in contact with the Creator, pray that's it.

43. S. (2:26:13) Kabbalists write about how you attain it and here in the article it says how the Creator created the worlds. Can we attain it? Maybe it goes to his Essence himself?

R. No, it has nothing to do with his Essence, it's his relation to the created being which is what we are learning about.

44. S. (2:26:47) Everyday we're getting a preparation before sleep from society.
