Daily Kabbalah Definition
Definitions in the daily Kabbalah lesson guide a precise, spiritual approach to terms, & disqualify materialized corporeal definitions
Spirituality,
Creator, Perfection, World Of Ein Sof
What are
the Kabbalistic meanings of the concepts: "Spirituality,"
"Creator," "Perfection," and the "World of Ein Sof"
(Infinity)?
"Spirituality"
is what is revealed within the Kli which is called "Love of others."
In this Kli, "eternal life" is revealed; the Creator is
revealed.
"The
Creator" is the force that is composed of all our individual forces of
bestowal that combine together. It is the general force that operates in the
system of the souls and bestows there among everyone. In order to feel
completion in spirituality, one simply has to love everyone as one loves
himself. Besides that nothing else is
needed. This state is called the
"World of Ein Sof."

Daily Kabbalah Tip
Advice in the daily Kabbalah lesson is recommended, practical tasks for advancing spiritually
What Is Within
Us And What Is Our Relationship With Others?
This
connection cannot be done by a person on his own; he should seek help to make
it materialize in him.
It
all depends on your connection with friends, friends who will affect you. Beg! Ask!
It is written "Buy yourself a friend" (Kneh lecha haver). Pay
them to affect you like in the story about the person who wanted the kleizmers (musicians)to play for him to give him some revival. He gave them his last
pennies to play. So go ahead; you may buy a bottle of whiskey and we will see
if it is worthwhile for us to bestow to you some lacking.
Question: At the beginning
of The Zohar's study it was said that we need to think that everything
is within us. Now it is said that everything we read is in our relationship
with others. How do we move from a state where we tried to understand it is all
within us to a state where it is all in the connection between us and others?
Dr.
Laitman's Answer: Lose your intellect and everything will work
out. There is no other solution. You want to understand this with your brain;
you want to grab the whole picture, to consolidate it and control it. And I
want the opposite-I want everything to blow out of your head, that you will see
that you are lost.

Whatever
Is In Your Power To Do, Do
There is
something before me that I now need. We think in this world that we either
obtain all, or get nothing. This comes from a lack of understanding. A great
scientist or engineer who is to investigate and solve a specific problem knows
that there are things before him that he must resolve now, first, before he can
proceed to conclude the study. So you have no real desire to be in the final
correction now. There are additional things before you that you need to
actually reveal now; there are the reminiscences (Reshimot). Deal with
it. As they say "whatever is in your power to do, do." Invest
yourself in it, only that, precisely that.
