Question: Usually a lot of people who just show interest in Kabbalah come to the congresses. You said that we have to reach such power that it is sufficient for everyone. This is an unbearable feeling of responsibility. Do we need to include a request for these people in our prayer for our friends?
Answer: We are obliged to consider everyone as our friends, everyone in the world who is with us in any form of unification: via the Internet, by telephone, it does not matter. They are all, in general, our friends, they all participate in some way in our striving forward, no matter what level each is at.
We have to think about them. We are pioneers, the forward-looking group. Therefore, we have to act this way.
Comment: When I pray for my friends, I periodically forget to include everyone else in my prayer, then it seems that my prayer is incomplete.
My Response: All this, of course, is formal. We do not need to pay individual attention to new people, we should automatically include them within ourselves and continue our spiritual work. For now, you cannot yet care for these friends to be with you. But it is necessary to be reminded about this.
Habit is second nature, you will gradually get used to thinking about them. And not only thinking, but genuinely empathizing and raising MAN together with them. You will feel that they are inside you.
Question: And what should we do with the feeling of responsibility that presses on us that we will not have enough power for everyone?
Answer: It is very good that you feel such pressure. It is wonderful! Be afraid! This is the best thing I can wish for you.
Be afraid, worry, suffer. All these are necessary feelings that push you to think about unity and to direct it correctly to the Creator.
Question: So, be afraid and pray?
Answer: Certainly. Without fear, there is nothing at all. Fear is the most correct, natural feeling of our empty desire. I am very glad that you feel this way. I wish this feeling for everyone.
