He mentionned in it (nearly a century ago then) that there were too many opinions and not enough desires expressed on this earth. In this regard, we need more art. Personaly, I have always thought that art was the expression of what could not be expressed in an other way. Something that makes us feel nearer from our creator (wether we create ourselves or look at it, hear, read, feel it). That would my definition of art.  Last week, I went to the theater and saw a piece from Gorki, the russian writer.

Do you play only if you are certain that your intention is "bestowell" as opposed to self interest. ? What happens if you detect thought's of pride at your magnificence, while playing your music? do you stop intentaniously? Drop it like a hot potato? Is cultivation of musical prowess sanctioned by your teaching? Shalom Rav Laitman,

Do you play an musical instrument? Do you play only if you are certain that your intention is ”bestowell” as opposed to self interest. ?
What happens if you detect thought’s of pride at your magnificence, while playing your music? do you stop intentaniously? Drop it like a hot potato?
Is cultivation of musical prowess sanctioned by your teaching?
