Why Is It Hard To Remember That There Is None Else Besides Him?

Question: If all the friends are also part of my soul, what do I have to learn about my attitude toward them from every picture that theCreator shows me?

Answer: It is through the friends that the Creator gives us the tools by which we can contact Him. Then, the same must be done with the entire world, as required to reach the level of “There is none else besides Him.”

Question: Why is it so hard to think that there is none else besides Him? I constantly want to leave this thought because it is so difficult.

Answer: First, the Masach (screen) is very thick, and it is very hard for us to penetrate it in order to constantly hold on to the thought “There is none else besides Him.”

However, the Masach gradually becomes thinner, and then it becomes easier to overcome it. Eventually, we understand that it is even a good thing for the Masach to remain since it provides us with the letters of the work, the feelings and the ability to hold on to the Creator.

If the Masach disappears completely, we would certainly say that “There is none else besides Him” in everything, and the picture of the world will show a person how to hold on to the Creator.
