Rabash. Man Is Rewarded with Righteousness and Peace through the Torah. 3 (1986) [2026-06-09]

The episode explores a profound Kabbalistic teaching: that true righteousness and peace are not rewards for spiritual effort, but the very result of aligning one's will with the Creator through selfless giving. The speaker dismantles the common misconception that faith is mere belief in uncertainty, arguing instead that authentic faith (credința) is a spiritual revelation—a direct perception of the Creator's goodness, not based on personal gain. This revelation, cultivated through group connection and inner work, allows a person to act without expectation of reward, transforming effort into pure intention. The core insight is that spiritual advancement occurs not through individual striving, but through the collective power of a group of ten, where the influence of others elevates one's inner state. When a person transcends egoism and acts solely for the Creator, they enter a state of 'peace'—not absence of conflict, but harmony with divine purpose. The episode concludes with a powerful call to use the awareness of one's limitations as a foundation for sincere prayer, turning despair into spiritual growth. The central theme is that the Torah is not a goal, but a tool to achieve the right and peace of Solomon—states of being where the soul is filled with divine light and operates without self-interest. The journey involves overcoming the innate desire to receive by replacing it with the desire to give, a transformation made possible only through the group's spiritual force.
