Daily Morning Lesson: June 8, 2025

Part 1: Baal HaSulam. Shamati 5 “Lishma Is an Awakening from Above, and Why Do We Need an Awakening from Below?”

Reader: Hello. In the first part of the lesson we will learn from Rav Laitman from September 24 2021. The study material is in the writings of Baal HaSulam Shamati article number 5 “Lishma Is an Awakening from Above, and Why Do We Need an Awakening from Below?” In the words “From this you can come to know clearly”.

Question (MAK 3): (00:59) What is the difference between the connection we are trying to attain on our own and the true connection? What connection should we ask for?

M. Laitman: We asked to be connected in one heart, because the concept of one heart means that we annul the ego. When we annul our ego we effectively let the upper light dwell in our hearts. We ask to revoke the boundaries of our heart, not corporeally, as in corporeality each one has different tastes and habits. It depends on where he was born and how he was educated. This is not important at all as it belongs to this corporeal world, but in the spiritual world the tendency to the Creator we wish to be connected together, So each one is aimed directly at the Creator, wanting to attain Him and we have to combine these directions, these vectors and then we will succeed. We don't need any more than that just to connect ourselves together and offer the Creator our common desires. This is the whole work.

Student: Is the fact that we're not able to reach the common prayer a sign that we cannot connect and unite?

M. Laitman: I don't know what that means that you cannot pray in one prayer. You have one Creator, you have in each one egoistic desires; it doesn't matter which kind, they all are just to themselves, these tiny corporeal desires. Why can’t you do it? You just need point in the heart, not the heart, all of your desires, but only the points in the heart, you have to combine those and connect to the Creator. You have here one’s heart and the other’s heart, the third heart and the fourth heart, lets say five desires. You don't need these desires, you need the points in the heart to connect between you. Try to form this connection into one point, and this point you wish to aim at the Creator and all the rest of the egoistic desires, leave them. All of the habits that your mother gave you, all of these tastes, don't belong to it, we just need these points called the divine point from above. It is the part of the Creator, a desire for bestow, Reshimo [record], it's not even a desire but a record that exists in each one. This is why you desire godliness, for connection with the Creator, because this point is pulling you, and this is why you came to the wisdom of Kabbalah. So, we just need to strengthen this point through these other connections and return to the source. What else is there to do? All of these things that we discover in the heart are not important to us, let go of the heart, it doesn't bother us, make it into something where you raise the importance of the point in the heart relative to the heart. The importance of the spiritual world, the Creator, would be more important than what we have in the heart, in the corporeal business. This is the entire scrutiny.

Question (Moscow 1): (06:01) What tricks are there to work with the friends this way?

M. Laitman: You need to read a little bit in the Rabash’s articles where he talks about it, but the most important thing is to think about it and talk with the friends, because this is a problem that is common to everyone. So talk about with them and ask them for advice. He says: “I have learned more from all of my students. I have learned a great deal from my teachers and even more from my friend. We learned everything from the friends, look how the kids grow up. Whatever you give them at home, whatever you do, however you educate them, nothing will help. He goes out into the yard or to school and he meets other kids and there he learns, he doesn't look at the parents, he learns from the people who are around him of the same age group. This is how we are, we need to learn, most importantly, from friends to give to them and receive from them.

Question (French): (07:43) How not to receive anything when we come to the convention we all the time receive impressions from it?

M. Laitman: This all depends on the examples you get from the friends. They need to give you such examples so that you will be ashamed to think of yourself. Again, the friends need to give you such samples in which they think only of the connection between them and with the Creator, and then you will be ashamed for having those types of thoughts.

Question (PT 29): (08:41) These states that we seemingly stand, it's not clear where to turn to. How? What's the connection? It’s truly to remain and hold your hand in fire, it hurts, it’s very unpleasant. Are those the right efforts?

M. Laitman: I don't know if this is how you feel, it is a good sign, but there is no choice. I am telling you, it took me many years and a great deal of effort to understand that connection is the necessary thing, it’s very tricky. The heavier the soul, the more difficult it is for it to understand that connection is the means at our disposal. The rest depends on the upper light.

Student: Do I need to love that feeling, that unpleasant feeling?

M. Laitman: Yes, I need to love the connection. For me this is a sign that I am closer to the Creator.

Question (Netanya): (10:11) When he asks for corrections from the Creator, he’s afraid the corrections will come in the form of problems or a great disease, or something. How do you ask for corrections without that?

M. Laitman: He should ask for corrections and for them to come in a pleasant and nice way. That too, is a prayer. I'm afraid to receive them harshly, I'm weak and I'm asking for corrections through mercy. You can also ask for that, you can receive anything from the Creator, anything you want, you just have to ask.

Question (Revadim): (11:00) How to awaken friends so it won't be like a cry in the desert?

M. Laitman: Try to scrutinize in what do you wish to awaken them, try to scrutinize the extent to which you want all the good for them, explain to them how much you want to benefit them, how it is coming out of your heart pleasantly, I would say naively, directly. By that you will see how they react to it as well, they respond to it.

Question (Latin 5): (12:04) How can you help friends that have corporeal problems? How do we, like you drew in that picture of doing the work and concentrating us on those red points?

M. Laitman: First of all, to pray. Pray for the wellbeing of the friends, their health. Pray that all of us together will connect, and in our connection, we will then heal ourselves and overcome all of the problems. That’s clear that the upper light can heal anything and all depends on the extent to which we bring Him closer to us, and we’ll have the voice of the prayer of many. Meaning, together we pray for the same things that we agree on, then we need to hope that it will influence.

Student: We constantly unite and raise prayers to the Creator, we connect three times a day with the ten, we’re in the lesson all the time. Not too long ago, one of our friends passed away. Yesterday, the father of a friend passed away, and we have friends that are sick. Is that normal what’s happening to us? Is that an answer to our prayers?

M. Laitman: First of all, I don't think you are raising prayers. To connect your prayer to what's happening, specifically with those disasters in the group, I wouldn't do it, you’re doing it just like that. I think we need to learn how to connect and then you will be connected to the Creator, then you will be able to understand what is happening from this point of connection between you and with the Creator, you will be able to understand what’s happening in the Ten. For the time being, it's very very early to start interpreting what is happening corporeally from the seemingly spiritual degree where you're not in yet.

Question (ITA 3): (15:04) Every lesson is like a convention. How can we remain concentrated in our virtual connection and meetings, and become with an attitude of being as one? How to be able to make it so every word you say will be a blow to our hearts?

M. Laitman: Go over it again, try to adhere to that throughout the day, don't let opposite thoughts and desires enter into us.

Reader: Now we will go to a live lesson with Rav.
