Rabash. It is Forbidden to Hear a Good Thing From a Bad Person. 4 (1987) [2026-04-09] #lesson

This Kabbalah lesson, part of a series on Rabash's teachings, explores the profound spiritual principle that it is forbidden to accept good advice or truth from a person whose intentions are not aligned with the Creator. The speaker emphasizes that while the content of a message may be valuable, the source's spiritual state determines whether it can truly elevate the listener. The discussion delves into the nature of intention (kavanah), the role of the group in spiritual correction, and the dangers of being influenced by 'bad' people—even if they speak 'good' words. The lesson underscores that true spiritual progress requires discernment: one must evaluate not just what is said, but who is saying it, and whether the speaker is working for the Creator or for self. The speaker also examines the inner struggle between ego and altruism, the importance of group connection, and the necessity of constant self-inquiry to ensure one's actions are driven by spiritual purpose rather than personal gain. The episode concludes with a call to deepen one's awareness of intention and to use the group as a mirror for spiritual correction.
