Bringing the World to Unity
When reading
The Zohar, we should try to keep in mind that all of the corrections
amount to unity between us. We should see everything taking place in the world today as the
revelation of disconnection. At the end of the day, hatred, disorders, and all
of the problems that arise are being revealed so we, and then the whole world,
will feel that we have to fix the connections between us.
To the
extent we work on dissemination and speak about the connection between everyone
above the separation and opposition between all parts of the nation and the
world, to that extent we prepare and demand unity during the study.
Therefore,
the more we exert an influence and disseminate this knowledge, the more we talk
about unification, trying to bring the nation to unity, the more we will demand
it during the study, and then we will merit conducting this Light to us, and
from us-to the nation and the world.

“Plus” and “Minus” United by Mutual Work
In our world
love and hatred are two different, contradictory feelings. We cannot unite these two opposites
and do not understand that we love one because we hate the other.
But in the
spiritual world, they are one. Two opposites unite and it turns out that I love
and hate in the same place, meaning reception and bestowal, my separation from
the neighbor and my aspiration to him, occur in one location. All of this comes
from one condition, one degree, my one state, in which I feel hatred and love
in the same place. I perceive these two opposites as one whole.
This is
similar to electricity, which is impossible without a plus and a minus. In the
spiritual world, a plus and a minus work together above one matter, above one
consciousness. On one hand, there is a minus, and on the other, a plus, and I
am in the middle. The spiritual world is special because in it, opposites unite!
Therefore,
let us unite in mutual guarantee, above all of the differences and
disagreements. It doesn't matter what qualities every person was born with and
how he thinks. The most important thing is to unite above all of that. It's
similar to how in the spiritual world, the work is done by faith above reason.
With this
approach, we will reach spirituality. And then we will no longer be bothered by
our differences, but will use them to reveal greater degrees of unity.
