The whole point is to teach people to receive, not to give. Therefore we must explain to people that there is a great wisdom about receiving. How can a person receive without stealing, taking advantage, or giving something in return? There is a great wisdom for that. And it is hidden, because man does not feel it and is not even aware of it, and that is the wisdom about how to receive, to receive everything, and with no problem. To be in a situation where you are not dependent on anyone’s agreement and you can receive anything you want.

Giving and altruism are the means to becoming fulfilled – the means for receiving all the things that exist in the world. In order to enjoy giving, one has to love one’s fellowman. When two conditions co-exist: 1) That I love the masses, 2) That as a result I start to give, and I will derive pleasure from it.

When I am in a state of receiving, there is always someone who will not give me, someone who will not cooperate, etc. In a state of reception, there will always be that someone limiting me. But in giving we are not limited in any manner by any other person. I can enjoy it without limitation; I don’t need permission from anyone.

We are not dealing here with physical things but rather our attitude, our desire to do for others, which is what provides us with filling, and we need nothing beyond that. We start to receive such a filling from giving, that we begin to feel that we have nothing to do with receiving, are not connected in any way to this world, not connected to all its limitations. In this type of giving we begin to feel the opposite world, the spiritual world. To such an extent, that everything I feel through reception disappears, and I suddenly only feel everything through giving. Then this entire world can disappear, my body can die, and I am still feeling myself existing through giving. This may sound like a fantasy but it is really only a psychological problem in our perception of reality.

Receiving is always a problem because you are dependent on others. Giving is always not a problem because you are not dependent on anyone. In other words the only problem is with you – whether you will be able to change yourself to receive delight from giving or not. How will you enjoy from giving? On the condition that you love, so ultimately the true problem is loving your fellowman.

Everything depends on our attitude, how we approach a person. People and children nowadays are reaching a point where they are asking things like, “What is life for?”, “Why am I living?” This is a question that arises in childhood and must be given a correct explanation. It is not for nothing that we were designed this way to ask “Why do I exist?” at such a tender age. Children normally ask about the upper force, whether there is a God or not, should they pray or not, should they ask for things or not. Even people that have nothing to do with religion, that live in a completely secular country. Despite that inside, within himself, there are these questions and tendencies. We must use them, bring them out slightly, and awaken them. And in this way gently awaken children to this attitude of perfection, eternity, life and the purpose of life.

The problem is that we have yet to acknowledge this process and learn how to cope with it. We will only be able to change the poor state of today’s youth by adapting our education system to the level of evolution (egoism) of our children.

The message of the wisdom of Kabbalah should be adapted to suit each generation. The message can be conveyed through movies, games or stories. If we begin to explain to children how things work beneath the surface, they will feel that they are being taught how to succeed and how to better understand their own world. They will feel that they are being exposed to new channels and new avenues in life.

You do not need to talk to them about spiritual matters or about abstract issues, but simply hand them the right approach to life, teach them how to see life on a slightly deeper level. They will get the message naturally and easily. In truth, it is not at all difficult to explain that behind the scenes of this life lies something hidden from our senses, that there are subtler forces at work in our world than the ones we perceive, and that we should consider them. As they live their normal lives, children will begin to sense the existence of an inherent tie to nature, one which we, adults, have grown accustomed to overlook.

Children will still live their normal lives, except now they will know that there is a higher, systemic order, and this will provide them with a fuller consciousness, a broader outlook on life. They will no longer be frustrated and disoriented, and they will not need pop stars as role models. Instead, they will grow up finding their own paths to self-fulfillment.
