There Is None Else Besides Him

… For this reason, one must seek advice how he can bring contentment above. Clearly, if he receives pleasure, there will be contentment above …

Each time I read “There Is None Else Besides Him” this last sentence always got my attention… one must seek advice how he can bring contentment above. It seems like something mandatory. A must. It seems as if it removes a person from thinking about himself to thinking about the friends?

1- I am seeking advice. How can I bring contentment above?
2- Should I be thinking always on how to bring contentment to the friends? Or be in the thought on how to bring contentment to the Creator?

You should have both of these before you, but the friends are the first touchstone. If I bring the friends contentment with the intention that it brings the Creator contentment, I’m sure to hit the mark.

Hi Gianni,

Is corporeal suffering also an invitation by the Creator to come closer to him? How should we relate to it?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

It’s a correction. We should of course prefer internal spiritual corrections, and try to make all our corrections in this way.

[Kimadigital7]

How do we come to that state where you feel the friends desire for spirituality just as feeling our desire for corporeality?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

That’s by serving them, especially that desire which we wish to come to feel.

[Kimadigital7]

How do we serve the friends correctly or how do we serve that desire with which we want to feel?

That is the issue. It is quite difficult to serve something you can’t identify. We just have this imaginary sense of serving. Even the evil inclination, my true self. How do we come to identify with it that it is evil and need some kind of spice? Everything seems to be imaginary.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

No, it’s so straightforward that we think it has to be something else. Help the friends reach the goal. They’ll reach it if they’re inspired, if you set the right examples for them.

[Kimadigital7]

When the friends gather together, with one heart and each thinking on achieving bestowal,… Should I love them and see and feel only that desire in them, that aspiration towards the Creator? And why must we not forget that each of us are thinking and desiring the same think? What does that give or add to us?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

The friend is actually his aspiration toward the goal. That’s the friend that I want to connect with – with which I can reach the goal.

Hello Gianni,

if “what is mine is mine and what is yours is yours” is sodomy, what is “what is mine is mine and what is yours is mine”?

Thank you.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Sodom is already a serious degree compared to our world where everyone wants theirs and then to milk everyone else for the max possible. That’s called “what’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine.”

Since Yom Kippur is approaching, I have something on my mind, we have learned that in Kabbalah, restricting yourself of Material things, food, etc. fasting, will not do anything for you spiritually, all you need is desire, And I agree, (at least speaking from an individual perspective). But I read in a blog article from Rav Laitman Called  “the detriments and benefits of fasting” Where he says that fasting is not an individual effort, but a “group” effort, only then it is elevated. Do any groups/TEN’s  fast? Or am i misunderstanding?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

In Israel where this is the nation’s custom, we fast. There’s something to it, but it’s not a must for those who live outside Israel.
