We have no other path other than to fulfill the thought of creation, that is, to reach adhesion with the Creator. But to reach this adhesion, we must have love for the Creator, which is only possible with the help of an instrument that we prepare with our exercises in love toward the creation: within a society, in a group, in a ten. There is no other way: only through the love for the created beings to the love for the Creator.1
All the abundance that is revealed in the world comes only from above. It does not depend on our work and effort, but is determined only by those states, good or bad, which descend to us according to the program of creation. “Bad” states are those that educate and advance us by the path of suffering. That is why, to the extent in which we change our path, shifting it from the path of suffering to the path of conscious development, in other words, “hastening of time” (Achishena), we attract into this world the good for each individual person and for all of us together. In this lies the entire concept of supporting the world.
Each individual who belongs to a group that takes care of all the friends feels that his desire to receive is neutralized and the need to care about himself vanishes. Society conquers him with its care and he no longer feels himself under the power of egoism. It is like a child who knows and feels that he is under the care of loving parents and is therefore completely free of any concern for himself. He is certain that his parents will take care of everything he requires.
Similarly, the society’s love and care will influence each person, and then no one will need to think about his own desire to receive pleasure because he already feels that it will be fulfilled by the society. The society neutralizes his egoism with its care and demonstrates the example of bestowal. And when the individual separates himself from his egoistic desire and begins to engage in bestowal to society, an entire new world opens up before him.
That is why the main thing is to provide such a feeling of mutual guarantee within a society so that each individual feels no need of anything and is able to care only about bestowal and not about personal gains.2
