Merit
What is "Merit" according to the
wisdom of Kabbalah?
"Merit" is when I perform acts but
I am not able to check the direct connection between the act and the result. This
is because the mechanism that operates behind the scene, the law that according
to which things are connected, is hidden from me. Thus it is called,
"merit." This means that merit is not something supernatural but the
law that, in the meantime, is hidden from me.

Don't Run
Away
How
does one change the feeling of rejection to love, towards the internality of
the group?
That
you feel rejection from the internality of the group is actual, and it is
because of your desire to receive. The internality of the group is a high
place, a great place. And within you, you feel this position; i.e., you feel small
facing all this magnitude and loftiness.
It
is clear that each one has to do and work. Not to run away from these
clarifications. One needs to advance step by step and become gradually
accustomed to the unpleasantness towards the group. It is written in The
Zohar that when all the friends gather together, they hate each other. It
is only through inner work that one comes later to love.
