In the time of the concealment we should cry. Why am I in concealment? Because my vessels are not corrected. How can I come out of the concealment? I have to correct the vessels. How do I correct them? I don’t ask for the concealment to disappear; on the contrary, I want it to stay because I don’t want my desire to receive to be filled. I wish to discover the attributes of bestowal above the concealment and to be filled in them. This is called “to be filled with the upper Light.”

We should understand that our ego, the egotistic desire to receive, will never be filled with the Light. There was a Restriction on that, an absolute prohibition.

Only if I build the desire to bestow above my ego, to the extent that I want to bestow back to the same source, I receive fulfillment from it in return. That’s the only way!

I will never receive any pleasure in my ego, which is under the Restriction. It cannot be filled directly.
