The Light Is Received Only Through The Study Of Kabbalah
Questions I received about the relationship between spiritual correction and corporeal commandments:
Question: How does one receive the Light or the screen?
My Answer: This can be achieved only by studying Kabbalah – see Item 155 of the “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot.”
Question cont’d: Does one have to observe the 613 (or 620) commandments?
My Answer: One observes the 613 commandments when he corrects his 613 desires by the Upper Light during Kabbalah studies. However, mechanical actions do not correct anything!
Question cont’d: Does putting on the Tefillin and saying the Shema prayer also play a role in receiving the Light?
My Answer: No.

Isn’t it true that giving charity (as commanded in the Torah) done as a “mechanical action” still corrects something important? If you feed the poor doesn’t it correct the hunger of that person even if it is a “mechanical action”?
