Nothing More Than The Others (from Shabbat Page 22/8/14)

When will you begin to accept the Light that Reforms? The Light that Reforms can come only through your efforts to connect with the friends. The means for connecting to the friends must be mechanical, simple, like those things that you are ready to do. If you don’t do this, this is something else, but you are ready. This is what they gave you; they brought you to the group and said to you, “Take this,” so take it. According to these efforts, you will begin to feel how much you are included among them, that in everyone there is some kind of beginning of love of friends. When each one is impressed by the others, then he will receive tenfold. There is an article like this among the new articles, the first by Rabash, that it depends on whether you put zero or one in front of you. It depends on how a person bows his head towards the society, but in truth, it is not “as if.” It is when he tries to understand and feel that he truly has nothing more than others, that he wants the Light to illuminate this; for in truth, the society is the Shechina (divinity). If you don’t feel this, but you feel that you are higher, then you are sitting on your ego like on a sack, and I don’t want to say what is inside this sack. You are sitting proudly on this, and it is a bit smelly.
