Inspiration Of The Day
When fear comes upon a person, he should know that there is none else but Him. And even witchcraft. And if he sees that fear overcomes him, he should say that there is no such thing as chance, but the Creator has given him a chance from above, and he must contemplate and study the end to which he has been sent this fear.
- Baal HaSulam, Shamati 138
It is known that Eretz [earth] implies the will to receive, which is the foundation, since all of creation and all the bad that exists in the world extend from this desire, as it is known that all the wars, murders, and so forth are rooted in the will to receive.
- RABASH, Jacob Went Out
It is best for us to agree and accept the words of the Kabbalists that HaTeva [the nature] has the same numerical value [in Hebrew] as Elokim [God]—eighty-six. Then, I will be able to call the laws of God “nature’s Mitzvot [commandments],” or vice-versa (the Mitzvot of Elokim by the name “nature’s laws”), for they are one and the same.
- Baal HaSulam, The Peace
A person should pay attention and believe that the Creator is tending to him and guides him on the track that leads to the King’s palace. It follows that he should be happy that the Creator is watching over him and gives him the descents, as well.
- RABASH, Article 6
There is a special power in the adhesion of friends. Since views and thoughts pass from one to the other through the adhesion between them, each is mingled with the power of the other, and by that each person in the group has the power of the entire society. For this reason, although each person is an individual, he has the power of the entire group.
- RABASH, The Need for Love of Friends
And the man asked him, saying, ‘What are you seeking?’” meaning, “How can I help you?” “And he said: ‘I seek my brethren.’” By being together with my brothers, that is, by being in a group where there is love of friends, I will be able to mount the trail that leads to the house of God.
- RABASH, Love of friends 1
I hereby instruct you to begin to love one another as yourself, share your Friend’s sorrow and rejoice at your Friend’s happiness as much as possible.
- Baal HaSulam, Letter 30
When a person wants to walk on the path of bestowal and not by way of reception, the sin is mainly that a person did not ask the Creator to help him overcome the evil.
- RABASH, What Is the Prayer for Help and for Forgiveness in the Work
Upon waking one should sanctify his first moment with Dvekut with the Creator and pour out his heart so that no idle thoughts will come into his mind throughout the day.
- Baal HaSulam, Letter 18
You must always stand guard, all day and all night, when you feel a state of day or feel a state of night. We say to the Creator, “Yours is the day, and Yours is also the night.” Thus, the night, too, the darkness of night, comes from the Creator to man’s favor, too, as it is written, “Day to day utters speech, and night to night expresses knowledge."
- RABASH, Letter 24

Spiritual Work and Dissemination
November 01, 2024
Question: Should dissemination be separate from spiritual work? Answer: Dissemination is a very important part of spiritual work.
