Yes, you raise the importance of the Creator for yourself, by those things and others, and also for your friends. With that importance, they can make efforts, and raise the importance for themselves and for you. Then you do the same again for them. This way the goal becomes higher and higher, and helps you rise above every degree of egoism that gets revealed in you, until upon the great egoism you reach the Creator.
That’s right. We can say that we’re already in some degree of Lo Lishma, the preparation for Lishma. We need to reach the complete Lo Lishma and then the Creator will bring us to Lishma.
We shouldn’t get confused with the Right Line and Left Line. We’re not in that – but there are ascents in the Right and the Left. More simple, for our state:Â An ascent means closer to connection with the friends and the Creator; and descent is when you go away from that.
We just need to TRY to be in Lishma, and when we do everything we are advised to do, with that false intention, it’s called Lo Lishma. The Creator is responsible for Lishma.
Work with what the Creator has given. Getting a partner doesn’t take time or focus. It’s not like people think in our world – that I need to go on dates every Friday and Saturday night, live together for a few years, etc. It only takes alignment with the right goal and understanding why I need a partner – and then I’ll find one. Then I get married as soon as possible without all the imaginary nonsense. Of course, I also need a steady job with a reasonable income – and this may take time if a person has disregarded this basic necessity, until now. The Creator has determined these foundations and requirements. To keep them for the reason that I need them to attain the spiritual goal is already a spiritual action.
