Q:  In Kabbalah, our primary task is to draw the reforming light, which supplies all we require for   spiritual progress. Moreover, it’s said that aiding others accelerates our own spiritual ascent. How does this dynamic operate? What does supporting fellow seekers with a spiritual inclination entail?

A:   I compare it to the parts of a tree where a member of the group provides for the needs of the rest of the members of the group which is his responsibility. Just like a branch of the tree which supports the stems, the twigs and the leaves attached to it. The branch is a conglomeration of the desires of the parts to receive the nutrients that each part need. The branches requires from the trunk of the tree the nutrients that it needs to sustain the parts connected to it. The trunk would definitely supply the bigger parts first which supports the rest and it cannot go to the smaller parts then to the bigger which is the branch. In this process the branch also benefits from the nutrients that it needs to supply for the rest. Therefore the branch has the responsibility to know what each part attached to it requires then request the trunk for the total needs of the group.

I believe it requires setting aside our own egos and letting ourselves care more about their needs then wanting to show our own needs and or desires

We help each other by taking ourselves out of the way and give the other all that they need at that moment by fully listening to their needs, without judgements.  Just listen and try to feel them by placing yourself in their situation.

Supporting fellow seekers put you into more of an equivalence of form with the creator. When you genuinely want others to succeed and annul yourself, that is spirituality and great joy is found there.

Connecting with others deficiencies creates a greater need and then a greater prayer is raised.
