What is the condition to have a prayer in a man's heart?
A person first needs to have a heart. "Heart" is called when you absorb the wills, inclinations, perhaps even desires of the friends, towards the Creator. And you want, as much as possible for you, to implement them, like a mother who wants wholeheartedly to help her little child in whatever he needs, this is called a "Mother's Heart."
She has around her all sorts of other worries and stuff, but her heart wants what is good for him in order for him to achieve his goal, that he will succeed, and this is surely what makes her live, this is her concern, it is called "heart." Therefore I must build in me such a mode, such a spiritual organ.
What determines the extent of the absorption of the craving that is found in the friends?
You cannot absorb from them, unless you will be in a complete mutual participation with them.
Otherwise you will not recognize and will not reveal it. It's the sensor that first should be prepared.
What is a "complete participation with them"?
Participation is in helping, supporting, that you come to sacrifice yourself just for them. That they will be the ones to make satisfaction to the Creator, that they are capable of it and you came just to help pull this off.
Question: What does it mean to have a “Mother’s Heart”?
Responsibility towards everyone, that everything is dependent on me. I'm the one that stops their entire progress towards making satisfaction to the Creator. I do not know how, but you need to say these words to yourself.
What is the change that I need to check that happens day after day in my attitude towards the friends?
Depending on which mode you are in, at least that you want to be with them in one desire.
Then, you should care how the desire is aimed. After that, you want to find out how much you can influence this desire, as much you are responsible for, to what degree this desire afterwards will be aimed for making satisfaction to the Creator, and much more.
And you are the only one who holds this desire, determines whether it is oriented in the right direction for you to use. [Zohar, minute 15]
The real Light is when you start worrying about the group
The Light shines by dissemination because unwillingly, whether you want to or not, you are included from others and begin to take care of them, then it naturally starts rolling like a snowball.
But honestly, the true Light is when you become worried about the group, you invest in the group, pray for them, it's basically everything. In what way do you need to worry about them? What do they lack? The help of God. And you pray that God will help them. "He, who prays for his friend, receives first." [Last Part, 43 minute].
I cry for the fact that I don't want to get rid of the ego
I don't cry for the fact that I'm evil, I cry for the fact that I can't and don't want to get rid of my evil. We are always the beings we were made, we are the outcome, so we don't cry for the fact that He made us this way, rather for the fact that we agree with it, we want to stay this way and we are not asking for correction. This is called the recognition of evil; Why? Here there is a free choice. Have you included yourself in the group? Are you in a state in which your connection with them is in such a way that it brought you the recognition of evil? That the Creator made you so much so that you demand of Him: immediately fix what you have done!
That is how you turn to Him; this means "my sons defeated me."
You come to Him with a complaint, with a demand - “fix what you have done; I want to be like You.” You can't understand how much pleasure He gets out of the fact that you have discovered what He has done to you and how much this is the opposite of Him and to what extent you are willing to leave it – even though you can stay in this state and it makes you feel good – however, in order to be like Him, to cleave to Him, you want to get rid of it, even though, for the time being, in your own feeling, it makes you feel bad.
These are very exciting and focused observations. [Selichot, end]
