Question: How do Kabbalists protect themselves from the negative influences of detractors?
Answer: Not in any way! Why should I protect myself from them? At what level do they work? They run around, shout “cock-a-doodle-doo” like little roosters, and that is it. Nothing else. What can they do? They will not jump to my level, but let them cluck at their level.
This was the case in the time of all Kabbalists. I do not take it to heart. How many detractors did my teacher have with whom, among others, I fought! So what?
The Creator specifically does this to distance the Kabbalist from this rubbish, from this world, so that he does not even think to deal with them and does his inner work. It is a help when you are hated.
Question: Does this “rooster” rise?
Answer: He is gradually changing! He is becoming a man!
In that case, I am ready to hug him! It does not matter what happened before! We all used to be like this! But now he has changed! Now he is rising, trying to get closer to everyone, to unite, to study the program of creation, implement it, and help others. I will accept him with pleasure!
The past does not matter at all! We all get our diapers dirty in our early childhood. But now we are growing. Everyone who goes higher used to be worse, more harmful, nastier, more obnoxious than others. I understand that perfectly well.
I am ready to accept anyone, and it does not matter to me what happened before. Therefore, I do not pay attention to who has gone where, whether he returns or not, what he thought before he came to us. I am not interested in that. When you come back, you are welcome. The door is always open in and out.
Question: Does it harm that he brings thoughts from outside?
Answer: No, it is a clarification. It is a correction.
Comment: You have a category of students who are constantly in an unstable state: here and there.
My Response: Well what can we do? It is not me but the Creator who controls them. Such are the qualities of these students. I have to endure like any parent who suffers from the pranks of their youngsters.
Question: But you have so many students. How can you tolerate everyone? Where does the strength come from?
Answer: But I do not suffer. I know that is how it should be. My every day starts in a new way. I am not angry with anyone. I can scream, lose my temper, but this is just an outburst of energy, nothing else. Inside, I love them all.
