All the real reason is in spirituality. It’s as if we give up on reason and go into something unreasonable. Instead, one is typically in something so embarrassingly unreasonable, below reason or within beastly reason that there’s going to be great laughter about it later on. And leaving this is what he calls reason and thinks that he might – god forbid – depart from into something “unreasonable.” So, it’s a big question if one is even within reason yet, to have reason to go ‘above’, in the first place. Reason comes from the spiritual degree, the reason of the Torah it’s called. Then we have to go above reason. For now, we have to do something like it – to go against our will to receive, and so on, but we’re not already in reason nor above reason. I know we speak this way, in our aspiration, but it’s not precisely our state.
I didn’t see such a practice in Rabash’s writings, but I heard that we should pray for the ten all the time, ask the Creator for them. If you can do this over each of the different parts of your day – that’s something. That’s the question. Over which states can you nevertheless come to connection with the friends, and prayer to the Creator.
No and yes. Most of it is imaginary, and what there is is the ego, which can harm others. By thinking bad of others, you harm them. However, you harm yourself at the same time, several times over. You can do all kinds of rituals around this, but you can also get rid of all those rituals, and what is left is just the ego that thinks of harming others, and when I think ill of others, I harm myself.
So, they harm themselves, and on the other hand, my positive and kind attitude, an attitude of bestowal to others turns into a shield through which negativity cannot penetrate.
One should always be in contact with There Is None Else Besides Him. However, the pleasures that are of the same kind that all animals receive are not the pleasures that the Creator enjoys. Rather, those are called, “neither praised nor condemned.” But be in the feeling of There is None Else Besides Him, and He is the Good Doing Good, and these things too will take their right relationship to the path.
