Part 1:

Lesson on the topic of "The most important is the prayer"

1.Rav’s Introduction: Yes, there is no light without a Kli, there is no fulfillment without a lack. Why is that? This is the entire difference between the created beings that exist on the level of the still, vegetative, animate and speaking, and the created beings that are on the level of the still, vegetative, or animate according to the lack in them. When those lacks appear, they get whatever they need in order to exist correctly for the right purpose, and we do not on the level of the speaking. We cannot suffice for the deficiency that appears in us. It is usually a deficiency for food, sex, family, money, honor, knowledge, egoistic needs. But rather we need to be similar to the Creator.

This is why we are called Adam or the sons of Adam, or human beings, and therefore, we need to yearn to be similar to the Creator. And that deficiency, instead of our egoistic deficiencies that are revealed, we have to raise special deficiencies for adhesion to the Creator, or in other words, to adapt ourselves to the Creator, for adaptation, congruence that's why we are called Adam, be Adam, and there is a great difference in that, in between what we have in our state, versus the state of still, vegetative, animate. Meaning, those who want to grow with the deficiency of Adam need to understand that it is not like the deficiencies of other people, and it is not like what one had in previous degrees when he was growing, growing as the still, vegetative and animate. But rather one needs to grow in resembling the Creator.

Here we need to understand the qualities of the Creator, that image that we want to know, to get to come closer. It is possible only according to the equivalence of the qualities, desires, intentions, goals. Therefore, it turned out that the degree in which we want to be Adam, similar to the Creator, it is a very special degree. It is opposite to the previous degrees. In all the previous degrees, we were concerned only with growing our ego, to becoming stronger, smarter, more, and more, relative to the others. In the degree of resemblance to the Creator, we need to resemble the Creator and to resemble the Creator it is entirely not about being stronger, it is not about being wiser, because as it says it is not the wise who learns.

Rather, we need to resemble the Creator only in that we become connected to others, we bestow to others. Here is our great obstacle, because it goes in contrast to the qualities of the still, vegetative and animate within us which are egoistic qualities, and we need to grow differently here. Therefore, when we reach the degree of Adam, similar to the Creator, here we stumble upon lack of understanding, lack of feeling, lack of ability to do anything, and instead of acquiring our progress in our development, on the degrees like before that we were rising and rising and rising like in school, from grade to grade, we were rising higher and higher.

Here, we have to acquire our ascent through the prayer, because we have no ability to rise on the degrees of resemblance to the Creator, to resemble the Creator we can do it only on the condition that we will get from for Him an opposite force a new different force that we did not have before, the force of bestowal. This is why here there is nothing left for us to do but to recognize what we have, and how much it is the opposite of the creator, and how much we need to change, in order to come closer to Him and to resemble Him. This is why when we begin to scrutinize what is going on, why is it that we are not advancing, why is it that we cannot understand the Creator? It turns out that actually we have everything before us, it is just that we do not feel the importance of advancing in the qualities of the Creator, to bestow to others, and here is the problem. Therefore, what happens to us is that we discover our own qualities, we need to talk between us and research what is it that Kabbalists write about the qualities of the Creator, and how different we are, and how much the qualities of the Creator are opposite to our own, and how much we instinctively reject the qualities of the Creator, mutually reject them, and what is then left for us.

Only to ask, but we can ask on the condition that we truly need it, because we are needy of that, so what are we going to do? I do not want it, even if I am told it is good, but I do not have such preparations so that I will want it. What are we going to do? and even more than that, to want the qualities of the Creator means to go against yourself. What are we going to do? Here we stumble truly, or we come across a special system, which is help made against one. On the one hand, we have our ego which pushes us into our cells back to continue our development and still, vegetative and animate where the ego is, however, to bring us to the degree of the speaking for that I need to acquire the qualities of the Creator, and these are qualities of bestowing, love, coming out above myself, connecting with others, caring for others, seemingly to clothe in Him and care for His benefit. This is the opposite of our nature, it is exactly the opposite of our nature, so how do we do it? It is only through the recognition of our situation that our nature entirely pulls us into itself, into the will to receive.

The nature of the Creator is the opposite, the desire to bestow, and to shift from my nature to the nature of the Creator I can do it through a few means, which is, first of all, that I feel bad and it doesn't matter for which reason, in my will to receive, I begin to appreciate and value from the point in the heart that I have such a beginning, I start to value the will to bestow, I enter a society, which the Creator had prepared for me and He says take that, clothe in it in that environment and performed the actions that I teach you, and in that way you will grow, but understand what is it that you need to be, which is the opposite of you that is true the fact that now you are putting on yourself, seemingly a new garment, it is the opposite of yourself, but bit by bit, I will help you so that you will get used to it, and you will see that it is good. You will see the essence, the purpose of creation, everything. You will have more than what you see in this life, in your clothing of the still, vegetative, and animate, in them you cannot attain any more, however, when you advance, you will reach a state of seeing the world through me, through the quality of bestowal, and then you will have a different world, as it said, I saw an opposite world.

This is how we advance, that is, we need to understand that the spiritual is above the corporeal, and it is opposite to the corporeal, and this is what we have to reach, and why do we have to accept our development in such a way? Because of the advantage of light out of darkness, because we cannot in any other way, appreciate spirituality but only to the extent that it lifts us above the corporeality, and this is how we will advance. So let's read and let's try to understand these excerpts so they will build in us more and more discernments, discernments of the ascent from corporeality to spirituality, and besides that we already learn and know that our advancement depends on the connection between us, because in spirituality, we have all in all a single system where everyone in their desires in their intentions are connected together, with mutual help and as much as we succeed in putting together this system of the interconnection between us, to that extent we are able to feel life, the flow of life in that system, and it is called the upper light or the Creator. This is how we advance. However, the Creator also has a few degrees, there is such a degree where we do not understand and we do not recognize Him, He is still not clothed in any form in our vessel and later according to the equivalence with Him, we can reach states where we get to know Him more. However, the Creator also has a few degrees there is such a degree where we do not understand and we do not recognize Him, He is still not clothed in any form in our vessel and later according to the equivalence with Him we can reach states where we get to know Him more.

This is considered seemingly that the Creator descends on the degrees on us, and this is how we will attain Him according to our equivalence with Him, as He is merciful so you should be merciful, as much as He is in bestowal, coming closer to us, so we are able to rise to Him through the qualities of bestowal and then according to the degree of equivalence between us, to that extent, we will get to know Him and feel Him, so it turns out that here we need connection between us that keeps increasing, within the connection between us, we should feel what is common to us, and that common thing between us, we should accept it as that source in which, the Creator will be revealed. This is how we will rise higher and higher and then we will replace the quality of reception that I started to talk about, with the quality of the bestowal up to adhesion with the Creator. There are many changes here many degrees, but indeed our work is to begin to step up on his degrees in a way that we are together doing it, and we help each other, and the Creator truly supports us, He helps us and everything, as much as we try, to come closer to Him according to the quality of bestowal between us that we want to develop, according to that, we discover Him and he helps us.

So, let us read our excerpts, the excerpts primarily talk about the prayer, why is that? I said already, we have no possibility to connect between us, we have no possibility to come closer to the Creator, and all the more so to connect with Him, but only by discovering our deficiencies, true deficiencies, meaning our lack of connection, lack of desire to come closer, lack of desire to resemble the Creator. We all want the upper force, why not, of course so it will be good for me, if I will know Him see Him feel and if I will have that in my hands, but that is not good. That approach only repels us. Therefore, here we need to try by being in a group, to change our demands, our intentions, our prayers. This is all done specifically through the feeling of the friends, the feeling of connection. Let us start reading from excerpt number four and this is how we will advance. In the meantime, what do we have here? I am just asking you to ask questions to the point, do not confuse the friends.

2. S. (19:21) I heard you said it is not the wise who learns. On the other hand, we say that envy, lust, and honor take a person out, that is what advances us, seemingly teases the friend’s ego, so ultimately it does advance us towards connection no?

R. Envy, lust, and honor. How is that related to the intellect to wisdom? I do not understand. They are not related.

S. Just as an example, if I show the friends that I advanced in the material I make them envious of me somehow. Doesn't it tease them? Makes them want to connect more.

R. It might but, it might also repel them. I do not know; it depends on the vessels with which they accept it and feel it. How do they work with it? Let us make these questions short or avoid these questions, because they bring us out of our direction, the direction we need to have.

3. S. (20:44) The will to receive keeps growing, do we need to resist it?

R. We need to be concerned not about the desires that the Creator awakens in us, because there's None Else Besides Him, of course it all comes from Him, but rather, how do we use these desires? This is something we need to remember really well, each thing that awakens in me. I need to check it according to how much does it bring me closer to the purpose of creation, and not according to how much it now seems to me in my egoistic desires as good or bad.

4. S. (21:35) You speak of spirituality, which is opposed to corporeality, but the connections between us, if we want to believe someone, if I understand correctly, faith in and of itself is a certain mechanism that ignites us towards connection. The same thing in our world, if I want to get to know someone and communicate with him, if it is a man or a woman, I still try to have faith in them, believe in them, develop such states between us so this connection from here on will grow stronger?

R. I cannot answer you now. I understand that you are asking something, but you are trying to scrutinize something which is entirely not related to what we are talking about now you are putting in say sociology, psychology. I apologize but this repeats itself a few times during recent lessons so please forgive me, but these are not the questions that we should be discussing. So, wait a little bit.

Excerpt #4 Twice (23:08) RABASH, Article No. 29, (1987), "What Is 'According to the Sorrow, So Is the Reward?'"

5. S. (26:32) I did not understand exactly when he says, if he does not know what he loses, he does not have the vessel called a desire to bestow. Our nature does not feel that desire to bestow. How can a person know what he has lost?

R. This is exactly the problem, yes if we would know how much we are losing out of the fact that we do not have the will to bestow, then first, we would be yearning for a will to bestow egoistically. Where can I buy a desire to bestow in order to gain, to succeed in life? Right? This is why the desire to bestow, and what we could not acquire and achieve through the desire to bestow, it is hidden from us, otherwise we would be conquering it egotistically. This is considered that the thief runs in front of everyone and cries, catch the thief, because the egoistic desire will never leave us. It will run along with us through all the spiritual pleasures, but because the spiritual pleasures are the opposite of the physical pleasures so then the will to receive to the opposite it does not want it, and it does not allow us to reach it. It resists, and then it turns out that we are the opposite, we do not want it and do we have to work against our desire seemingly to go against the flow. When you are in some river and you have to advance against the current, you realize what kind of resistance you have right, and that resistance is the will to bestow, it does not allow you to advance with your egoistic intentions, so what do we do? To ask from the Creator, because from Him comes both the will to receive and the will to bestow. He is the source of both of them, that he will help you to receive a greater importance for the will to bestow, up to the point where the will to receive gradually will not be felt as a disturbance, as hindrance, and even the opposite after you make a restriction, when you make some kind of a psychological response that so you don't want to relate to reception as to something that is good, then you begin to it revert even reception to bestowing, then it turns out that to the extent that you received more, however, it turns out to be in order to bestow, then by that, you get even a greater game and profit, then you begin to establish qualities of bestowing, actions of bestowing like the Creator. Then it will be ‘I to my beloved, and my beloved to me.’ We will reach that.

Excerpt 5 (30:38) Twice, RABASH, Article No. 37 (1985), "Who Testifies to a Person?"

6. R. (34:16) There are a few things here, how can we develop a prayer, the right prayer even through what we feel that we are lacking? How can we open the state we have in us where we do not know what we are missing? This is called to ask of the Creator that he will give us a Kli or a lack from not feeling. Meaning, I do not lack something if I do not know what it is I am lacking, so how can I, nevertheless, develop within me a deficiency for what I do not feel? Let us say, I hear bestowing is something good, that loving and connecting with the friends in my heart truly is something excellent, however, I have no disposition or feeling for it or a lack for it so what can I do? What am I going to do? Then it turns out that here we are in a state of helplessness. Do we have a lack when we do not feel it? How is it possible to lack when you do not feel? If I am in a society and we all talk about it, we talk about that state that we do not feel, but we do want to feel it, why? Because I see that others are talking about it, and this deficiency seemingly exists and so I also get this deficiency. This is what he says here, but what can one do if after all of his efforts and his labor nevertheless, he still does not feel the lack of not being able to bestow as pain and suffering? The advice is to ask the Creator to give him the vessel called the lack from not feeling, and that he is unconscious, without any pain from being unable to bestow, so for that too, if I regret that, then certainly I already have a point from which to move forward.

7. S. (37:13) In the previous excerpt it says we must introspect so that we will be able to understand why we are lacking the will to bestow and that was a number four, and number five, it says we need to perform at every act of Torah and Mitzvot to come to the quality of bestowing so are these two things connected somehow when I perform the acts of Torah and Mitzva when I can introspect and calculate or?

R. “Torah and Mitzvot” is called the means by which we attain the quality to bestow.

S. So these can be even the simple physical actions that we do in our corporeal world?

R. Do whatever you think can bring you the quality of bestowal because that is the quality of the Creator, more than that we do not need.

S. Then the feeling will come gradually, and it will arrive?

R. Certainly, that feeling will come if you perform the same actions of the Creator, you will feel what it is like.

8. S. (38:34) Can we actually feel what bestowal is?

R. We cannot feel what is bestowal. The quality of bestowal is the Creator. We can only get to know the quality of bestowing from within the quality of reception because that is who we are. We are only the quality of reception. How can we reach a state where the quality of bestowal will be felt in us? The quality of reception will work in order to receive then we will get to know it. Only in this way.

9. S. (39:30) Can you help us to figure things out. From what I see the problem is not that I don't have bestowal, but rather the problem is that I don't feel suffering, because I don't have bestowal, and the solution, as I see that it is presented here, is to ask for the vessel so to ask that we will have suffering, because we don't have bestowal?

R. No, never asked for pain and suffering. We asked that we have appreciation for the quality of bestowal and connection, we can never ask for something negative, because the Creator does not have anything negative in Him. On the contrary we must ask only on rising, and appreciating valuing, lifting the quality of bestowing between us, this He can do. I understand that these things penetrate slowly. We have to give them time, to enter into us to be processed, absorbed, we will continue with those things later tomorrow so on and so forth. Gradually it will get in, there is no other choice. We must do it gradually. This is always how it works out.

10. S. (41:15) Does understanding come before the deficiency? If so, why do we create this understanding?

R. Your understanding cannot come before the deficiency. I do not know what you are asking about.

11. S. (42:09) How is a new deficiency revealed?

R. New deficiencies are revealed from the work that we do by approaching the friends coming closer to them, and I received new deficiencies from them. Conversely, I moved farther away from the friends, and I received new deficiencies, but from approaching the friends I received correct deficiencies, for bestowal and from moving further away incorrect deficiencies, deficiencies to receive.

12. S. (42:50) It looks like the excerpt is talking about asking the Creator to shift us from the state of double concealment to a state of single concealment. Is that the right way to see it?

R. He does not speak about it openly, that is why I am not saying anything about it. It is a place of confusion.

13. S. (43:06) The Creator does not give us a feeling of a lack so how can I make myself ask for such a deficiency?

R. By looking at the friends and they appear to me wiser, more understanding, more connected to one another. From that I begin to envy them, this envy already brings me closer, it brings me closer to the Creator through them.

14. S. (43:45) You mentioned that there are natural deficiencies on the level of the still, vegetative and animate, within those deficiencies there are deficiencies that are for luxuries and deficiencies for necessities how do we work for the deficiencies for necessities and connect them to our connection?

R. In truth we are not discussing this right now because I do not care about the desires on the still, vegetative, and animate degrees, what we experience in our life, rather we need to develop above them a deficiency for resembling the Creator. The desire we develop within the ten. This is what we are developing.

S. Can we develop a deficiency for what you said now if there are deficiencies that are not related to necessity?

R. We have to yearn for it and the Creator will sort things out.

S. Why did Rabash not accept people who did not work and were not married if these deficiencies did not manifest in them, yet he did not accept them, first take care of those things, and then come study, why did he insist on that?

R. Because according to branch and root men have to be married and have a job. I have to work. That is according to the law of root branch and root, which is the case for every man, and he accepted only men. We accept everyone, it is a different time, times are different, and this is how we advance for the time being. I hope that nevertheless each and every one will be able to get along in his personal life. The world is changing drastically in the past few decades, let us say the past few hundred years so there is not much you can do. It is a different time. If we are talking about the general correction, you cannot place the same conditions that we have had before, rather the world is changing, the conditions are changing.

S. Actually focusing on our efforts to connect can also arrange for a person his necessity?

R. Yes this is all, I am not going to start a new philosophy and I do not like such questions, rather the time makes the conditions the world is demanding, and I have to make it work, the important thing is to bring people closer to correction. We also had unmarried men study with us except not in that small room that could fit only the married men. That is it. Baal HaSulam was even worse, stricter, he would not let any men enter the study hall, anyone. If you got married now you can come in and study, what is the difference? What is the difference? That's how it's deemed that you are married, you have a Nukva and you can advance but that's it, according to some equivalence between corporeality and spirituality but in our generation, we don't take that into consideration because everyone must reach correction as Baal HaSulam writes; black, white, red yellow, it doesn't matter whom, on the other hand both men and women, married and single. Everyone must already enter the work of the final correction.

15. S. (48:40) As Rabash writes in this excerpt, that we need to understand the efforts that we need to make, can we achieve that only through envy or are there any other forms?

R. Envy, lust, and honor it says, envy, lust and honor raise a person from the level of this world to the spiritual world. We begin to feel in others more success, our ego works in order to advance toward spirituality and although this goes against our ego, they also not quite against because the ego in spirituality is much greater but it works in order to of his stuff and not in order to receive and there it is not restricted at all. We will talk about it.

16. S. (50:11) Should we ask for the deficiency to bestow for the friends and if so at the same time should I see them as great? Because it does not matter that I see them is great, I still want the Creator to give them the next degree?

R. I wish to see all the friends as great and at the end of correction connected to such an extent that their form of connection will be the revelation of the Creator. That is what I wish to see. That is the extent to which I want to see them succeed and I do not want anything for myself, only to be able to help them reach such a state.

17. S. (51:28) A lack out of not feeling is that the same as feeling suffering because I cannot connect with the friends?

R. Yes, yes.

18. S. (52:02) How to work with a lack that keeps being revealed more and how to correctly depict these deficiencies in the ten?

R. We need to work with each and every deficiency and twist it and turn it to even sure and sure that it helps us become more connected, more in adhesion, in this mutual connection so we will feel ourselves tightly locked between us in such a way that the Creator dwells within us. It is not that each person feels himself individually, rather we are all together like in a single sphere, we construct the sphere, this network between us, and in it we wish to feel the connection between us in total, which is called the Creator, why? Because this is what we are doing with our efforts we are building him. This is what we called ‘you have made me.’

19. S. (53:28) How do we reach a common request in the ten that if we will not attain the force of bestowing then I am better off dead so much so?

R. By thinking together and putting our heads together, thinking each shall help his friend, when we try to combine, unify our desires, our thoughts, our longings, our goals, and aspirations into one, and we begin to feel that we are lacking the upper force. We have everything but Him. Everything by Him and we need Him. What does it mean that we need Him? If the Creator will not help us, we will not be able to succeed, we need only him and this force is the good who does good and this force is the right connection, the ideal connection between us and we need him to clothe in us, find us and we invite him and we are establishing him. That is what we need to try and think about it all the time more. How much we want this force to be in the center between us and we will hold it and it will hold us. It will sustain us.

S. So if we will think about it together like you said now, we will reach a state of a common request, even the very same request for the force to be among us?

R. I said it already. If we constantly try to be in connection between us, to imagine ourselves, our entire world clear as a sphere that we maintain the connection between us with the help of the creator and we can stabilize the Creator between us in the yearning and the connection between us then we will come to it. This is very close to us, a step or two steps ahead of us at most and we will begin to discover Him in the connection, try to only focus on that and not let go.

20. S. (56:33) In those two excerpts Rabash writes that what I need is the feeling of the lack and the inner connection because I still lack the will to bestow and I never had a will to bestow, I never felt such a desire, so how can you acquire such a lack if you don't know what it's like, what it's aimed for?

R. The entire wisdom of Kabbalah speaks specifically of how to reach the correct deficiency so this deficiency will be this fulfillment that the deficiency for bestowal will be our fulfillment. Because the feeling exists abundantly it fills all of reality except it cannot be felt, only according to our deficiency for that specific filling. That is why we need it. Do not worry both the filling and the lack will become apparent on the condition that you approached the truth. That you would truly want to enjoy bestowal. That you want to feel the other, fill the other, be in him, in this way you will feel your connection with the Creator, and he fills everything, and you also want to fill everything. That is how it will happen, do not worry about it.

21. S. (58:44) What is that degree of the heart feels in the work?

R. The will to receive begins to be impressed, to be moved by actions of bestowal and then we can say that the heart feels.

22. S. (59:16) All of those things that we talked about feeling the others for filling the other, filling the deficiency for bestowal, filling that we are coming to approach the Creator. Would it be correct to focus all of my forces in order to ask that these things will be for the friends, not to search for in myself but all that my work is to search that the friends will have these things?

R. It has to be like that but together both the deficiencies and the work have to be like that everything has to be realized in the ten. Everything, nothing outside of it.

S. What does it mean in the ten?

R. In bestowing to the friends, in receiving from the friends, always only in the ten.

23. S. (01:00:16) How does the power of the prayer depend on the realization of the mutual guarantee between us?

R. The measure of the mutual guarantee is the force, the power of prayer. It is the power of the group, there is no other way to value it, the group, except in the power of Arvut between them, no Arvut, no group. There is simply nothing.

24. S. (01:01:00) What does it mean to come to purify, to be purified?

R. To come here to purify means I come to the ten in order to connect with them and to such an extent that their deficiencies are my deficiency. Everything that exists in them is mine and I do not want any other kind of life only to be immersed in them.

25. S. (01:01:36) What is in the introspection that we need to perform?

R. To what extent I can pass my goals, my actions from myself to the group. That is the calculation, the intersection because the soul is the ten. The essence of the ten is my soul and then after Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida it is all found in the connection with the ten. The extent to which I am connected.

26. S. (01:02:22) Persisting in the prayer does that mean to remain a few days in the same prayer?

R. I cannot say it depends on the prayer that conditions the group, but it is good to persist.

27. S. (01:02:50) If we need to see the friend stays connected and whole, how can we pray for them in the ten?

R. I want to help them, I want to belong to them, connect to them. It seems like it is all “I,” “I,” “I,” egoistic but wanting to connect to them I want to add to them I appreciate them, I value them.

28. S. (01:03:28) Whether in that case gratitude to the Creator is enough to increase the deficiency?

R. Gratitude to the Creator is not enough. There are other requests, what do I want after I am grateful to the Creator?

29. S. (01:03:56) How is it possible to scrutinize the deficiency that leads to the spiritual vessel through prayer?

R. It is hard for me to answer your questions today because they are general questions, and I do not see in them you are missing bits of information in each question. Where is it coming from? That is why in this way you can get an answer out of me in all directions, let us say. What did you ask just now?

S. How is it possible to scrutinize a deficiency that leads to the spiritual vessel through the prayer?

R. You understand what kind of a general question that is, how can we scrutinize the deficiency that brings the spiritual vessel in the prayer? Only to keep going on the same path and you will get an answer. it is a question without an answer simply have to open it up and dig in and dig in and dig in.

30. S. (01:05:36) How does the ten diagnose itself as unconscious, how is the quality of bestowal manifested in the ten?

R. Unconsciousness is already an exalted state. They understand that they are in a state of unconsciousness that they cannot, that there is something ahead of them, but they cannot recognize that thing that is ahead of them. On the one hand it is seemingly from the future and unconsciousness can also be from the past. Where whatever they had, is seemingly erased. They are unconscious about the past and they might be feeling unconscious about the future, those are both deficiencies. A vessel of a surrounding kind in the future and a vessel that was refined from the past. Accordingly, they find themselves lacking on both ends because they do not have enough information, they do not have the Reshimot, records necessary to advance. We are in a state together, men and women where we are lacking the letters of the work. We feel the states, but we cannot articulate using the correct words, which is why we need to understand one another.

31. S. (01:07:13) How is it possible to truly ask for something that we do not know we are lacking, how do we reach such a request that will not be false, a lie?

R. We cannot, that is why it is like a baby who is crying. If he is crying at least from his degree, his state, his mom understands. Meaning if we have taken certain actions in the right direction, towards connection, towards coming closer between us, then the upper one understands us. Because we are absolutely under His control, in His area, in His direction, but if we are not doing the right actions between us, the upper one will not answer us. Of course, the upper one can see all the states of the lower ones, but he will not change our states because we did not process them correctly. Rather what might be is that it will keep going in his actions until we discover our state as correct. We will decipher it correctly.

32. S. (01:08:53) If in the excerpt it speaks about a quality which is outside of our present perception of reality how can we discern a spiritual quality?

R. You cannot discern anything in spirituality before you can begin to relate spiritually to one another. You need to try to relate spiritually to one another and you need to pray. For it to happen for it to be correct this is called, the Creator will finish the work for me. I am only raising MAN and the answer for the MAN will come to me and give me states, give me the power, the correct discernment so I would know what it means to be in bestowal, and I will know how to do it. Again, I am raising MAN and again I am asking and again I am doing it like that.

33. S. (01:10:07) What does it mean to receive a deficiency from the friends?

R. Deficiencies from the friends means that I look at them I see how successful they are, and if I cannot see them in this way, it is a sign that I am not looking at them at all, but rather I am looking at myself. Therefore, our work is to come to a state where, a state where we see each other correctly we try to see one another correctly.

Excerpt 6: (01:11:42) Twice RABASH, Letter No. 65

34. S. (01:14:54) We need to request from Him to bestow, the vessel of the lack that is not in us?

R. We need to start to ask from the Creator, out of me feeling a deficiency from our connection. As in the connection between us, in the group the friends let us say, are more successful than me, even egotistically. I already have a deficiency, on the other hand where I feel this way that I seemingly appreciate them more than myself. That is already good meaning that everything has a thing in its opposite. Therefore, it is very important for us to relate correctly to the revelation of the connection between us. As much as he has positive negative, also negative is not negative, it is the revelation which is borne out of the connection between us. Therefore, it leads me to nevertheless come to the positive. Therefore continue, continue only in the connection between us, from the connection between us start to pray. Start to pray from the connection between us, do whatever you want but after you check the extent in which we are connected together.

35. S. (01:16:48) How do we pray for bestowal and only for bestowal?

R. I do not think you can teach this; this is the work of the heart. Prayer is the work of the heart. Therefore, we need to try to soften the heart, to hold it in a little more in a fashion in which it will be impressed and be closer to others. In fact, we become more stupid in a way is good because

Inevitably we come to a state in which we must find ourselves inside the feeling and not in the intellect. Do not be sorry that you lose the intellect that you had before. Prior to that you did everything from the intellect and now, you need to see yourself more emotional. The feeling will come, after the feeling will come new discernments, intellectual ones within the feeling. You will need to learn the feelings, how to sort those feelings and to weigh those feelings and accordingly you will come to a state in which you will be able to manage your feelings, as closer to one another, towards the Creator. Building from these feelings all kinds of forms, triangles, circles, lines, ascending, descending. This, all from our feeling in the forces of our feeling that we will be able to do this. Yes, the forces of reception and the forces of bestowal, we will have all of that before us. There are many things in this but when they come, we will know how to do it.

36. S. (01:20:03) What does it mean to practically annul myself before the Creator?

R. To nullify oneself towards the Creator practically in actions is called, to perform His Commandment, His Mitzva which is to come closer to others and in the connection with others to reveal the Creator. The Creator is the force of bestowal, love, connection. You need to discover Him to establish Him between the friends. That is why it is written, you made me. We need to come to a state in which we stabilize, establish such a state between us. This is what we need to do practically.

37. S. (01:21:19) In the second part of the excerpt the previous excerpt. It says we need to pray to the Creator so that he will give us the envy of the friends and then we will have a situation where we will be able to reach this?

R. Yes, of course envy is a very beneficial thing.

S. Can we request this also mechanically?

R. Yes of course. There are many things that we are not in our feeling but in the intellect and even not in the intellect that is not worthwhile, but giving to us as a council, as a new advice from greater people and we accept it, we use it.

38. S. (01:22:54) In the last excerpt it says a request from the Creator to help him that He will always be with His righteousness, what does it mean to always be with His righteousness if he always has the will to receive?

R. What did he say about a complete prayer, meaning that he wishes that the Creator will give him a complete desire without any compromises to himself and he asks for the Creator to help so that he will be only with his righteousness. With his righteousness meaning, that he will constantly be in bestowal. For that to be his complete prayer for all of his desires to be aimed only to bestow, for him to have one complete prayer. Only in that direction. Just like he writes without any compromises to himself. This is very clear in Hebrew, in Russian or other languages, I do not know, I think you might need to check.

Reading Excerpt #7 (01:24:31) RABASH, Article No. 4 (1988), "What Is the Prayer for Help and for Forgiveness in the Work?"

39. R. (01:26:49:) Meaning if we were to truly ask from our whole heart where in the meantime we can feel, open up, a person is checked in as much as he receives from above. But to the extent that you are given from above, if you were capable inside this to act towards the Creator, that is enough for him to open everything to you. The whole problem is that we cannot reach a state in which we really express this state in which we need the Creator. That is why he starts this excerpt; man’s sin is that he did not ask for help from the Creator. There are no sins, there is only one sin, that we did not turn to the Creator with all that might, with all the force that he opens in us. Meaning that we are not in devotion to the Creator, in a dependency on the Creator for him to help us as much as he is capable, and he is capable to the extent that we ask. The Creator will never help more than deficiency because we can raise to Him. Please take that into account.

Reading Excerpt #7 (01:28:29) Again

40. S. (01:29:59) When I look through the connections with friends that you always say that we have to always raise the prayer through the connection with friends, when I look through friends, I see good qualities that my ego likes or I see my I see bad qualities the ego does not like, how can I feel their lack, what they need from me and how do I fulfill that?

R. I will tell you. What your friends lack is your help. If you were to ask for them, they would receive through you from the Creator what they are lacking. That is the problem that you do not feel their lack, you do not care for them, you do not connect to the Creator for them and therefore they are suffering, and you are suffering, and the Creator is suffering, and all of this is your fault. That is it.

S. Also before it was enough before to annul and to continue to keep going. But from one point we have to use our ego in order to go the true way, so it feels like in spiritually, the more we advance we look for details, too many details and details.

R. Correct. That is how it is in every science. That is how it is in every method. To the extent that you want to enter deeper into something and advance more, you need to be more concerned about the smaller details. That is what the great thing is made up of. Look at how humanity develops to the extent in which it does everything, in what connection between us we establish today. Humanity creates machines and all kinds of things, technological systems, how everything becomes more and more complex. It is all as a result of spirituality. The incorporation of the Sefirot, Partzufim and worlds more until we came closer to one integral vessel. Then we will discover that everything is one, that everyone is included of everyone and from that we come to one essence, that is how it will be.

S. I have to ask the Creator. I want to feel my friends and I want to be a partner to you and when I raise MAN to the Creator for my friend's that is bestowal, is that right?

R. Yes of course. Yes. To bestow to the friends or bestow to the Creator is the same thing. If you are talking about true spirituality. There is no difference.

41. S. (01:34:23) What exactly is the help that we need to request from the Creator, is that the connection between us?

R. Only one thing, the greatness of bestowal. Nothing other than that we do not lack. If we would have bestowal greater than the reception for us, we would be able to do everything else correctly.

42. S. (0135:40:) You just said we should go through the feelings to build forms between us in the connection in the friends in the ten, what is the most advanced way for us to yearn to reach?

R. It is because we are all connected as one point or a circle.

43. S. (01:36:24) In excerpt seven where he talks about man’s sin, he did not ask of the Creator for help and continues the prayer from every mouth, the question is everything here is written in the language of the singular, meaning that each one of us has a personal responsibility besides the work in the ten?

R. Yes, just like we learn in the concert Arvut, each is a guarantor to everyone.

44. S. (01:37:06) We learn from previous lessons from prayer that the main thing is the prayer of the many and today the emphasis is the prayer of the singular. What are the rules of requesting for yourself, just like we are learning about today?

R. We just have to ask for one thing, connection. There is no more. This is the result of the shattering of the vessel and in the connection, we discover what we are missing in the connection as opposite as we are from the connection, how to correct a rejection from the connection. How we really need to connect, what does it mean to be with one man with one heart, the desires cannot connect us here, of course not they are different. But in bestowal with one desire to another we can connect. In stabilizing our desires in each, to the other, in that we can connect. Therefore, anyone who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater, he has greater resistance, difficulty in understanding and feeling the method. We could see this with the people who come to us how difficult it is for them. It is not because they are, they are more egotistical, they are bigger egotists. They are more distant from spirituality than others, which is why they feel themselves as a must to advance spiritually. This is actually not like in all the other wisdoms. We seemingly are taking up the cream of the crop, here the best of us are the worst, they have the worst desires, they are more stubborn, they are harder and harsh. Those are the ones who reach the wisdom of Kabbalah, which come to the wisdom of Kabbalah. Then anyone who is greater than his friend, his inclinations greater also appear in the thing and its opposite.
