Rabash. Concerning Respecting the Father. 5 (1986) [2026-06-08]

The episode explores a profound Kabbalistic teaching on the nature of spiritual respect—specifically, the paradox that we must honor the Creator not because He needs it, but because we need to transcend our ego. The speaker argues that true spiritual growth begins when we stop seeking personal reward and instead align our intentions with the Creator’s will, even when we cannot perceive Him. This shift is not about blind obedience, but about recognizing that the Creator’s 'hiddenness' is a deliberate design to protect us from egoistic misuse of spiritual power. The lecture emphasizes that the group of ten is the essential vessel for this transformation—where individuals learn to value others not for what they can gain, but for their spiritual potential. The ultimate goal is to develop a sixth spiritual organ, not through individual effort, but through collective aspiration and mutual respect. The episode concludes with a powerful call: to stop asking 'Where is the Creator?' and instead ask, 'What does He need from me?' This reorientation is the true measure of spiritual maturity.
