Love Will Cover All Crimes

Love covers which crimes?  How?

I need to always develop hatred for the desire to receive, and from the hatred for the desire to receive, I will slowly reach a growing appreciation of the desire to bestow. That's the way. Therefore, we need to be impressed by the society, by what we learn together, and by what is spoken of in the society. We should appreciate whatever the society appreciates, the quality of bestowal, and condemn whatever society condemns, the quality of reception. This is how a person comes, slowly, to put hatred against love, and by the gap between them, he can grasp the reality of the spiritual tool (Kli) and discover the spiritual world.

The desire for spirituality, discovered first as one point, we discover through the relationship with the group. We have no other way to help this desire to grow. This is why we had the breaking (Shvirah); this is why we need to achieve connection with the same desires of the friends.

It seems to us that there's a difference between bodies, but we need to stop seeing the bodies, and unite the desires of the friends for spirituality, the points in the hearts. Between the points in the hearts we'll start to see how much we hate each other, and above that hatred and above the rejection between the points in the hearts, we will start to build love.

There is no love without hate, and there must be, here among us, such a connection. As much as hatred is revealed to us and we rise above it, we build love, the connection between the points in the hearts. Hatred remains between the points in the hearts and they remain separate as in their nature, each in itself, but we build connections between them. This is called "Love will cover all crimes." We cannot connect the broken parts of the spiritual desire which broke as if there were no breaking. The breaking, as it were, remains, and above it, we build a new relationship called love. In this love that we are building between us, we find that special relationship called the Creator.
