World Kabbalah Convention

Connecting to There Is None Else Besides Him, 22-24 May 2025

Lesson 2 May 22, 2025: Believing that the Creator Is Good and Does Good

Reader: Hello, friends. We continue our Global World Kabbalah Convention, May 2025, connecting to There's None Else Besides Him. We will soon begin Lesson No. 2 on the subject of believing that The Creator is Good And Does Good. A few announcements: You can find all of our study materials on kabbalahmedia.info, as well as through the Arvut platform in the Study Materials tab. Friends wanting to ask a question, if you're seated in the front row here, please raise your hand, lift it up, keep it up until you get permission to speak. If you're seated behind, come forward, and then ask. If you're on the Arvut platform, all over the world, yellow question mark. Please, please make sure to ask very succinctly a short question related to the lesson topic. In order to also allow other friends the time to ask, and if you have more questions after the lesson, you can go to the questions and answers area, where we have lecturers, which will be able to answer your every question. Now, let's make sure all cell phones, all various electronic devices, are on silent mode – we want absolute silence here. And we begin. So, we'll start with excerpt number two in the documents. Baal HaSulam writes in Shamati:

Part 1: Excerpt 2. Baal HaSulam. Shamati 34. "The Advantage of a Land"

Reading: (01:54) Shamati 34. "The Advantage of a Land"

It is known from books and from authors that the Creator is benevolent. This means that His guidance appears to the lower ones as good and doing good, and this is what we must believe.

Therefore, when one examines the conducts of the world, and begins to examine himself or others, how they suffer under Providence instead of delighting, as is fitting for His Name—The Good Who Does Good—in that state, it is hard for him to say that Providence is behaving in a manner of good and doing good and imparts them with abundance.

However, we must know that in that state, when they cannot say that the Creator imparts only good, they are considered wicked because suffering makes them condemn their Maker. Only when they see that the Creator imparts them with pleasures do they justify the Creator. It is as our sages said, “Who is righteous? He who justifies his Maker,” meaning he who says that the Creator leads the world in a manner of righteousness.

M. Laitman: So, what do we see from here? That The Creator is The Good That Does Good, and He is always good; and, we are obliged to believe in this and to attain it. On behalf of the governance of the Creator upon us, we are in suffering and pleasure. So, we need to make a calculation here whether the suffering we're feeling right now, sometimes, come to us from the Creator? Or we ourselves, as we cause this; it's very difficult to agree with what he writes here, Rabash. That, although we need to know that in this good state, where we can't say that the Creator only bestows good, that they're called wicked. In this case, when they feel sufferings, it is considered that they feel their Maker and think about the Creator and His actions, as also, being bad. That is, we need to come to a state in which we feel the upper Providence is only good, and it has nothing bad in it. It never was, it won't be, and it's not like that either, now. This is considered that we are with the Creator in the right connection – there's a direct connection. Although, we need to know that in this state, or we must know that in this state, when they cannot say that the Creator imparts only good, they're considered wicked, because suffering makes them condemn their Maker. Only when they see that the Creator imparts them with pleasures, do they justify the Creator. And by adhering Him, meaning where he says that the Creator governs the world, and the good is in a state of righteousness. By this, we correct the way we receive this attitude of the Creator to the created beings, from bad to good. Are there any questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:42) He says in the beginning of the article that we must believe, we're obligated to believe that the Creator is the Good Who Does Good, and then he says that only when they see that the Creator imparts them with pleasures, that they can justify Him. So, the question is, how does faith bring us to that state where we see that, we feel that?

M. Laitman: Faith is not connected to knowledge; a person in any given state, he has a connection with the Creator from the society. He can say that, although I have, and from this, he can decide and distinguish that the Creator, in His eyes, as it says, how He judges the Creator. So, the Creator is the Good That Does Good.

Student: Meaning that faith should bring one to an actual feeling, ultimately?

M. Laitman: Yes. Faith must come to a person's feeling when he is under the control of The Creator is The Good That Does Good.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:44) I'd like to ask a question related to the Arvut, which may be related here. Maybe the answer, the solution for all the problems, the questions we have here, maybe everything relates back to us reviving the Arvut movement. Because there's a connection between us and the Creator, but there's a lack of a connection downwards, which then connects everything together. So, perhaps if we connect back to the people through the nation, through the Arvut movement, there'll be a connection back down to the people. And then everything will connect together and allow the light to flow.

M. Laitman: Yes, you could say that that's how it is, and that's what we have to reach.

Reader: (11:40) I don't understand. I feel bad in my life, and now I need to tell myself a story that The Creator is The Good That Does Good.

M. Laitman: I don't understand?

Student: He writes that we have to believe that the Creator is The Good That Does Good, but I feel bad in my life.

M. Laitman: So, what do you need to do?

Student: That's what I'm asking, to believe that the Creator is The Good That Does Good, to tell myself this, to listen to the friends telling me this – that they magnify the Creator in my estimation as The Good That Does Good, and that the bad things in my life aren't really bad, it's all good?

M. Laitman: That all depends on how you receive the Providence of the Creator. With what vessels. Hence, for the time being, we cannot justify the Creator, 100%. That, being the good, for the good and the wicked, and we will continue.

Student: What does a person do when he feels bad?

M. Laitman: A person doesn't agree with the Creator taking him, and the created beings and he has nothing to do. He doesn't find the forces to deal with it.

Student: So he's called wicked, according to the definition of the Kabbalists.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does he do in such a state? He discovers that he's wicked?

M. Laitman: That we will learn as we go.

Student: Usually, you need to believe above reason that The Creator is The Good That Does Good, and move that way with the actions of the good that does good and move that way with the actions of the good that does good

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (14:14) When will it stop, Rav? I'm in a situation in my life where I see the light in the darkness. Every time it comes, I look for light and I find it. I give an example to the friends, to people. I pray, I do everything necessary, but it seems he's only increasing the darkness, He's always increasing it. So, what's wrong?

M. Laitman: What's to do? What's written here: Try to make from every moment in one's life.

Student: I do it, Rav, you'd be proud of me. I'm really doing it.

M. Laitman: I can't say, I don't check, I don't count. And that's why you could justify yourself as much as you want.

Student: It might be that I'm wicked, but I truly justify Him. I see what gifts He gives me through all these punishments. I really see the gift, I give thanks for them, I cherish them. I work in the Ten and so on. What else?

M. Laitman: What else is needed? We need to try to be as close as possible to our audience and the Creator. And to try to be the one who justifies the Creator towards the audience, and to justify the audience towards the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:46) I'm from the Tbilisi Ten and I pass on warm regards from everyone there! I would like to ask, when were you happiest in life, in corporeality as well as spirituality?

M. Laitman: I don't know. I'll tell you, I started to study Kabbalah before – how many years, forty, more? Did I give you the calculation – they say 50 years. 50 years?

Student: How did you attain such a high degree of love with all these great friends? What did you pay for that with?

M. Laitman: And the free time. I filled all my free time with the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah; Kabbalah, Zohar, The Study of Ten Sefirot; that's the secret.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:57) I heard that in order to feel the Creator to be a good benevolent leader, I need to be in a proper connection with Him. What does it mean to be in the right connection with the Creator?

M. Laitman: What is it, to be in the right connection with the Creator? It's called relating to The Creator as The Good That Does Good to all. And also to all people, all the people. I must also relate that way.

Student: So, what do I need to change about my attitude towards the friends?

M. Laitman: I don't know, that's something you'll measure and perform it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:00) It's difficult for me to feel that The Creator is The Good That Does Good, but I agree that it comes from Him. Is that enough?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand the other half of the question?

Student: So from the beginning, it's difficult for me to feel that The Creator is The Good That Does Good, but I make peace with the fact that it all comes from Him. Is that enough?

M. Laitman: No, you need to feel that the Creator is truly filling your whole life, and that you feel Him as The Good That Does Good.

Reader: We have many questions here from where friends assembled all over the world, perhaps Hungary?

M. Laitman: Well, let's go with Hungary.

Reader: Hungary, please.

Question (Hungary): (21:06) We've assembled here from all over Europe, and I've had the great privilege, I have the great privilege now after a long time to ask you a question. And the question is, we all love you without exception. It's written that one who strikes a beast needs to pay. What does it mean? What beast?

M. Laitman: The beast that has the animal inside it.

Student: How does one strike the beast?

M. Laitman: It's privileged to beat it.

Student: I understand, but one who strikes a beast, what does that mean? What do I do with it, do I not strike it?

M. Laitman: Try to examine how you relate to yourself, when you behave such that the Creator kind of regards you being joyful, and where you talk to her, and what you hear in return.

Question (Qazaqstan): (22:57) What is the lack that I need in order to justify the Creator? How do I build the vessel called, righteous?

M. Laitman: How do I build a Kli that suits the Creator?

Student: What is the lack that I need in order to justify the Creator? How do I build a vessel, the vessel of the righteous?

M. Laitman: I need to see my actions and how the Creator changes me, erects me, moves me, each time in a different way. And out of this I will learn how He does from my actions the good that does good.

Student: May I continue? What does the Creator want from a person who constantly goes through suffering and justifies the Creator? What measure of good does a person need to attain?

M. Laitman: Where is she? In Qazaqstan? Then, again please?

Student: What does the Creator want from a person who justifies the Creator in every situation? What measure of goodness does the person need to reveal? To what degree does he need to reach in order to discover that The Creator Is The Good That Does Good?

M. Laitman: Do I need to answer in Russian?

Reader: No problem, we have translation.

M. Laitman: Okay, so, here there's a matter that is simpler: I recommend to constantly talk in sight as if you're talking with the Creator. That He's constantly appealing to me, and I'm appealing to Him, in return. Either He is the first who turns to me and I need to answer, or I'm the first and I'm turning to Him. And then the second one says to me and answers me, and in this way we are in contact, in connection. That is what I can say, alright?

Question (Kyiv): (26:25) A question from the Ten: Why is it said that there are people who can correct themselves only in vessels of bestowal, if our nature is the vessel of reception?

M. Laitman: Every person has both vessels of reception and vessels of bestowal. We are trying to acquire vessels of bestowal, and then we even come to the correction of the vessels of reception.

Question (Novosibirsk): (27:43) We came to a point where when I think about or pray for the friends, I always discover the Creator is The Good Who Does Good because He gave me a great Rav, great friends, these great Kabbalists who left all the writings for us. And, when I think about myself, that's the only time when I discover the Creator is bad. So, even here, the Creator is revealed to me as good because he shows me the right path – don't think about yourself, think about the friends. Is this revelation correct, and do I need to raise a prayer for the friends from that point?

M. Laitman: Yes, you always need to find in the friends what you have to say – to ask, to request.

Reader: Perhaps some more questions from here, from the hall – our friends here?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (29:04) This justification, maybe I'll give a short example, then it'll be easier to ask a succinct question. I can justify the pain of someone who is about to give birth because I know that the outcome will be amazing. I don't know why the suffering is required in order to give birth, but I know that the suffering ultimately brings something good. So, here I see the whole picture and I can justify it, but if I don't see the whole picture, if I cannot attain the full picture, then bad things produce nothing. Well, I cannot see the product of them yet, so it's very difficult for me to justify. And I'm not talking about myself, I can justify more easily what relates to myself, I'm asking about others. So that's what I want to ask, how do I attain this? Except for studying very slowly more and more, can you perhaps give me some tip?

M. Laitman: Only through the study that you yearn to connect with the friends, and at the end of it all, you need to see how they all look at each other, all of our groups. You see, Santiago, Togo, India – they all are looking at each other, and they're learning. We learn how to bring ourselves, how to understand ourselves in the Creator. So, we hope that that will happen.

Question (Bulgaria): (31:57) I bless everyone in this holiday, this festival of Unity. We've assembled here in Bulgaria, a small group of people but we feel tremendous power, tremendous energy, enough to change the whole world. And we would like to give that, to pass that on to you, so that you have this power as well. So that each one will feel in the heart that the Creator is The Good Who Does Good, that he loves, that He gives each and everyone whatever is necessary for the purpose of connection and spiritual advancement. Now, my question is, if I see my friends as great and corrected, does it bring us closer to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes, it brings closer. If that is the question, then yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:48) Kabbalists wrote to us that the Creator is The Good Who Does Good to everyone, but in practice there is a lot of suffering, a lot of pain in the world. So, can it be said that The Good Who Does Good only in relation to the purpose of creation?

M. Laitman: You need to ask the purpose of creation, what it feels.

Student: To get to know Him?

M. Laitman: There's no such thing, it's like asking this building, do you understand?

Student: So, how to bridge the fact that there's a lot of suffering and pain in the world?

M. Laitman: There's a lot of suffering in the world – correct, and we need to open the Creator's attitudes to everyone. And from that to judge Him favorably, as much as possible. Or, God forbid, unfavorably, that's all.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:08) I heard in the beginning of the lesson you saying that we cause suffering for ourselves. I wanted to ask how do we cause our own suffering?

M. Laitman: In that we disagree with the Creator, and the Creator needs to bring us, He needs to take us through all kinds of states in order to show us how His actions are justified. And that is how we come to a conclusion of how the Creator relates to us completely, absolutely good.

Student: May I continue?

M. Laitman: No.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:27) I have a question that's been nagging me for years now. How can I tell that I'm following the path the Creator wants me to follow? How can I tell that I'm following the path that the Creator laid out for me? That it's all according to plan?

M. Laitman: You need to say that you believe in Kabbalists, that they act throughout the whole of reality, out of an attitude that this reality is held by the Creator in Good Who Does Good, and that is how He takes it to the end of correction, when He reveals that matter of the Good Who Does Good.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:00) A question from a friend from my Ten: If it seems that I'm justifying the Creator sufficiently. How to rise above that and justify, force myself, my heart to justify the Creator even more?

M. Laitman: Say the question, again. What does it mean, enough?

Student: It seems that all the situations I come across, I justify the Creator. I see that There Is None Else Besides Him. So, how to rise above that, to justify Him even more, to see Him even more?

M. Laitman: It's only by justifying the Creator upon everything that He sends you, as There Is None Else Besides Him, that only He does that. And if you accept His attitude to you that way, that He is Good Who Does Good to you and to everyone – and especially to you – then that's a great thing. By doing so, you position yourself that you are in the center of creation, and the Creator gives this special attitude to you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:25) What is the relation between Come and See and believing?

Reader: Bo Reh, Come and see, Creator, what is the relation between that and believing?

M. Laitman: Come and See means that the Creator wants us to come and see Him in such a way that we will attain Him and come closer. And by discovering this attitude, then we continue, onward; it becomes clear to us what to do.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (41:36) From the beginning of the Congress, I'm engaged in seeing the friends as great, loving them, purchasing their lacks, investing in them. Should I add to that this expectation that There Is None Else Besides Him, The Good Who Does Good will be revealed? Or is it sufficient to just invest in them as I do?

M. Laitman: It's completely not enough, I need to relate to the Creator as the only one who can help me connect to my friends and to include them within myself. And from that, to raise my question to the Creator of when will He become revealed?

Student: So, my connection to Him exists only so that He helps me connect with the friends?

M. Laitman: What else do you need?

Student: A feeling that everything comes from Him, that whatever I feel good about, bad about?

M. Laitman: Okay, that too.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (43:22) What does it mean to believe? I think it's a very important point. And what to do when you lose faith? What does it mean to believe that the Creator is the good who does good?

M. Laitman: Try to read all of our material that especially discusses the Creator's revelation to the created beings. And try to come to the lessons, where you will always have an opportunity to ask, to hear, and accordingly you'll have an opportunity to advance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:30) If a person advances towards the goal in the most ideal way, it's difficult to imagine such a situation, but let's say. Would that person not see this world as being full of suffering?

M. Laitman: If a person felt that he was connected with the Creator, and through that he rises from degree to degree, in order to get to know the Creator's Providence over everyone, so certainly then he would not suffer.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (45:24) Have I asked you this question once: I can't feel that the Creator is The Good Who Does Good, despite me being completely sure that There Is None Else Besides Him. And today I heard from you that if I don't feel that He Is The Good Who Does Good, then I cannot feel that There Is None Else Besides Him, either. So this is a contradiction, I don't know what to do with it.

M. Laitman: I don't have this or the other, very simply. Only through that in which we always discover the deficiency in getting to know the Creator as The Good Who Does Good and to the bad.

Student: So, there needs to be a real lack to discover that He's the good who does good?

M. Laitman: A desire for what?

Student: There needs to be a real desire to discover that He Is The Good Who Does Good?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (46:29) My question is the exact opposite of what the friend just asked. I feel that I serve the Creator, I feel that I'm in contact with Him; I know that He Is The Good Who Does Good. It doesn't matter at all what happens to me personally, He Is The Good Who Does Good. The difficulty is in that there are many people around me who don't feel, don't feel the Creator, don't feel that There's None Else Besides Him – The Good Who Does Good, and their existence, their reality is a nightmare, it's very bad. Existence outside of that is very harsh. So my question is, what is my role in this? Because I feel that if I stay with my feelings, my attainment, my revelation, then I feel good but they're suffering. And on the other hand, we talk about how the work is in the heart, in intention. I can't go and talk to people and shout and tell them everything because they're not, I won't be bestowing, I won't be influencing correctly. So what should I do? Should I stay with just my intentions? It feels very small. It feels like, okay, so I made a profit, I came to contact with the Creator. It's not enough.

M. Laitman: Look at your connection with the friends, your friends, to the extent in which you're in a direct connection between you. To what extent you can cause a common assent for one another. And then it will be possible to continue to talk.

Student: If I can only add, with your permission, Rav, we have a very powerful Ten. And we work together on that lack. And I can only give blessings to my Ten for that and I hope we manage to fulfill our role. And if you would, I'd like to ask this beautiful, great crowd here, that we take Ten seconds of silent thought to think about those who were kidnapped, to ask that the Creator benefit them. It's very difficult, it has to be, it has to come to an end.

Part 2: Excerpt 4. Rabash. Article No. 28 (1987). "What Is Do Not Add and Do Not Take Away in the Work?"

Reader: You can read an excerpt, Excerpt Number 4.

Reading: (49:23) Article No. 28, 1987. "What Is Do Not Add and Do Not Take Away in the Work?"

He must believe above reason and imagine that he has already been rewarded with faith in the Creator that is felt in his organs, and he sees and feels that the Creator leads the entire world as the good who does good. Although when he looks within reason he sees the opposite, he should still work above reason and it should appear to him as though he can already feel in his organs that so it really is, that the Creator leads the world as the good who does good.

Here he acquires the importance of the goal, and from here he derives life, meaning joy at being near to the Creator. Then a person can say that the Creator is good and does good.

M. Laitman: Is it clear?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:36) Due to the magnitude of that revelation, or from that, do I need to then continue to blessing, giving praise for everything?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand what she was saying?

Student: Due to the magnitude of that revelation, or from that, do I need to then continue to blessing, giving praise for everything?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, I want to know what she wants to know, precisely.

Student: Do you need to move from the greatness of the Creator to praise of the Creator? To praise of the Creator at every moment

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And on the next degree, is it possible to see the shadows of the lacks?

M. Laitman: It's possible.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:22) When a person experiences suffering in his heart, serving the Creator. He tries to do all the work in his mind, but in the feeling, in the heart, everything is blocked, sealed, there's a feeling of constant burden. We've gathered here, so we need to connect in our hearts. How from that burdening of the heart, the hardening of the heart, can we connect, how can we use this opportunity?

M. Laitman: You need to find the point of connection with the group, with the general group, with the general Kli. And from within it, you will start to feel yourself in the center of the group. That's where you'll receive answers.

Student: I'm looking for that common point, is it attained through prayer?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's where the prayer is, as well.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:24) It's written in the text that one needs to believe above reason and imagine that he has already been rewarded with faith in the Creator, that is felt in his organs. But the organs don't feel that, they feel suffering. So the question is, I heard you say – or this is what I took from it – that a person must be willing to suffer in order to hold on to there's none else besides him. I feel that I don't have that willingness. As soon as there's suffering, I run away, I don't even want to connect to There's None Else Besides Him. So, how to develop that readiness to suffer in the vessels of reception in order to remain connected to the Creator?

M. Laitman: We need to make an effort to check oneself, to examine and see the extent to which the reception of The Good Who Does Good, can justify the Creator. That's the thing.

Question (Mali): (58:16) How can we overcome the suffering that we feel in order to feel that the Creator is The Good Who Does Good within us?

M. Laitman: By each supporting the other and that’s how we will advance, and this is how we will succeed to rise above, that’s it.

Question (Azerbaijan): (01:00:17) We, in our Ten, are trying together to reach faith above reason. So, what is the path from here to reaching a state where we have faith above reason, which is ideal, or to try to rise above reason?

M. Laitman: In essence, we need both. That's why I can't say anything concrete about this specific Ten and what it needs. For that, we need to know them closer.

Student: So, from the depth of our soul, we ask to be able to host a Congress from here and to invite you and the whole world Kli, here!

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:01:47) It's a question from a friend from Morocco, he is asking, a person suffers, and then he remembers the One Who Does Good brings good, and there's nothing else besides. This recollection, this memory, allows one to advance through the suffering, but the suffering keeps appearing in a new way every day. Is that an indication that I'm on the right path?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. If he sees a text from the book, it's truly something that he didn't see before, then it's a sign that he's come to a new state.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:42) They say that the more the Creator wants to bring a person closer, the more suffering He gives that person. The closer we get to Him, the more suffering, why?

M. Laitman: Because that's how you said it. You said it that way, I didn't say it was like that.

Student: That's what I learned.

M. Laitman: The Creator is good, the more you come closer to Him, we need to feel Him, bad. So?

Student: So, it means that we feel suffering in corporeality, perhaps it can be divided in that way. Someone on the path feels suffering in corporeality, and then he justifies the Creator. And as you said, there is a dialogue, there needs to be a dialogue. And if we justify the Creator, then there is the revelation of evil because someone must be at fault, right? If it's not Him, then it's me and then I'm to blame, that's the recognition of evil, that I'm to blame. And then I, also, pray to the Creator to correct that evil, is that how it works? That's the recognition of evil that I am to blame and then I also pray to the Creator to correct that evil, right, is that how it works? All the suffering we receive, we receive them in order to reach a true prayer?

M. Laitman: It depends who you're blaming.

Student: Myself?

M. Laitman: Yourself?

Student: Yes, certainly. Who else?

M. Laitman: So, what are you doing against that?

Student: First of all, I feel very bad about it, I feel pained and then I ask the Creator to correct it, to correct me.

M. Laitman: That's good, too. That's okay, it's also good.

Question (Latin 4): (01:04:56) Can you give an example where you need to feel that you're speaking to the Creator? What is the importance of speaking to the Creator in order to grow one's faith?

M. Laitman: I can receive from the Creator the addition of the reforming light that will impact my vessels and correct them, and connect them to the vessels that I corrected earlier and that's it. Therefore, talk to the Creator, thank Him, ask, join Him – that's the main thing I'm capable of doing.

Student: Do you sing songs, does it help? Or rather, when one writes letters and songs to the Creator, does it help?

M. Laitman: It's not more, but it's good. Let him write.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:06:36) What's the right attitude I need to have towards the concept of Creator if I have no attainment of Him?

M. Laitman: There's an upper force that moves everything, including you, and you want to enter into the connection with Him.

Student: But until I'm connected to Him, how should I relate to the concept of Creator? Because I don't feel anything, I don't feel any attainment of Him, yet.

M. Laitman: You can imagine it, somewhat.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:07:24) In the beginning, you said that the Creator is The Good Who Does Good, and that suffering comes from the person. What does it mean?

M. Laitman: That a person, in the wrong relations towards the Creator, invites upon himself such qualities that he suffers from.

Student: Are we talking about spiritual suffering, here? What is the wrong way to relate to the Creator?

M. Laitman: That is not important. I mean, it all depends on a person, what he does, here.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:08:11) It says in the excerpt that here one acquires the importance of the goal and receives life and joy. What does it mean to acquire, to buy?

M. Laitman: Buying or acquiring is, he invests forces and receives for it.

Student: So, he moves from above reason to within reason.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): It's not implying that, it's not written about that.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:08:55) If we want to rise above reason because within reason, let's say, we don't reach attainment. So, how can I help myself do that, to exert, to make an effort in that action to start to imagine to myself that state where I am in contact with the Creator. Where I am above reason, or is there something, can you use that to start rising and from there to flow on in the right direction?

M. Laitman: Just be afraid to fall.

Student: But to try, should I try to imagine that to myself, in my mind's eye?

M. Laitman: I don't think that's good.

Student: No? So how can I start? How can I start rising above reason?

M. Laitman: According to the feeling that you have in several of those qualities within which you need to behave more correctly, more similar to the upper force. Try in that way to already put an end to your life.

Student: And that will elevate me, that will elevate us.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Japan): (01:11:00) It says, is it possible that understanding, or justifying, doesn't happen right away and may only become clear after many years?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's a cumulative process.

Question (India): (01:11:44) I once read an article where I understood how we should not complain about the intention of the Creator. I read an article by you where you explained, a fruit is, when not ripened, is hard and bitter. But after it gets ripened, it is sweet. So, we also have to trust and have patience and believe and have faith that the Creator will do good and his intention is good. But sometimes, even after realizing when something happens, we tend to forget that. So, how to keep on, always remember that the Creator always intends good.

M. Laitman: How do we deal?

Reader: Yes, how to deal with forgetting that the Creator is The Good Who Does Good. Because we understand that this is an insight which comes at the end of the process.

M. Laitman: We need to relate to all of Bnei Baruch, to all the created beings in a manner in which they are good and they deserve good relations, good attitude towards them. That's it, that first and foremost is the initial point. After that, we cause people who are in such a group nearing to one another. And each and every one that justifies the existence of the friends and thus will see his world amongst them. And then, when they come close between them practically – truly as much as possible, to be as one Kli – aimed towards one Creator. That's it. There was someone here, yes? Did you want to ask? Well ask.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:15:33) I can understand what you just said, I need to place myself between the Creator and the Ten, how do I place myself in the position which offers the least resistance, where I can bestow upon the friends? Like, what does it mean that we start working with the Creator between us and connect to the Ten? Connect to the Creator?

M. Laitman: That you can connect between you to such an extent that you'll be truly as one heart.

Student: Let's say I find a point where I'm not an obstacle in the connection between the Creator and the friends. What to do from here, what does it mean to connect further?

M. Laitman: Connecting more is as if you're Intensifying, growing this vessel, which inflates like a balloon more and more and more. All its sides, all the shells, all the membranes, it's all growing. And you – how should I say – and you from your point, your point of observation or vision, from that you want to come to a state in which in which you're sorry for not being good that does good like everyone.

Student: How do I inflate that one heart? What is that action?

M. Laitman: First try to be like that.

Question (Moscow): (01:18:21) How can each one gather into himself the yearning of all the friends all over the world's Kli?

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: How can I gather within me the sum total of all the yearnings of all the friends in the world's Kli?

M. Laitman: In order to be inclusive, including all the desires, problems, questions from the entire Kli. That will cause you to be in a sense from a place that you're in to the final correction.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:20:07) Fear of the Creator, is that the measure to which I have inequality of form, within disparity of form? How to stop fearing the Creator?

M. Laitman: It's very simple, start talking to Him, that's the simplest thing of all.

Reader: The friends ask how to hear His reply.

M. Laitman: That's already a problem. If you were to do everything for him to hear you, then from that, believe me, then you understand what it is that you have to go in order to hear.

Reader: We now conclude our lesson. Yes, we're approaching the end of the lesson. Then we have social activities we do here. So, I'd like to ask, we have three days of Congress. In the morning we learned about There's None Else Besides Him. Now, we learned about believing that the Creator is The Good Who Does Good. How do you summarize the two lessons we've had with an emphasis on our situation, the pulse of the heart of the world's Kli?

M. Laitman: Actually, the first lesson in the morning was a little more advanced than the second lesson than we just had. And that is what I want you to know.

Reader: I don't understand, why was it more advanced than this lesson? In what?

M. Laitman: It was more, on its level, it was more advanced, on a higher level. It could be that this lesson, I didn't feel that people are gripping on to in a serious way.

Reader: How to prepare ourselves for our next lesson with the teacher?

M. Laitman: What's the next lesson?

Reader: If I'm Not For Myself, Then Who Will Be For Me? Tomorrow’s morning.

M. Laitman: So again, we have to look at it for tomorrow and read it a few times, read the materials. And try to connect questions to it and try tomorrow as much as possible to push yourselves, to stand up and rise and ask. That's it.

Reader: What does it mean to grasp the lesson, to grip it seriously? What does it mean that we're holding the lesson, seriously?

M. Laitman: What is it? We could say that now we needed to discover, to come closer to the questions of how we reveal None Else Besides Him, and we don't have enough questions, forces to hold on to, demands. And that's a problem. Let's hope that tomorrow we will complete it.

Reader: Thank you to the Rav. Dear friends, after this latest bit of guidance from Rav, after this whole portion we received from the lesson, let's make another effort in the Ten and summarize the lesson we just heard, the main points, the things that touched our hearts. Let's summarize the lesson, strengthen each other in the Ten.
