Question: What does it mean, “And I cast its (golden calf’s) dust into the brook that descends from the mountain”?
Answer: “The brook that descends from the mountain” is a quality of Bina [1] that comes down from Mount Sinai. Egoism (the dust of the golden calf) must be mixed with the quality of bestowal [2] in order to produce a connection of Bina and Malchut to reach the second restriction (Tzimtzum Bet) that is a special symbiosis of qualities of reception and bestowal when they get combined and become ready for gradual and consistent correction during the so-called forty years.
The people, representing the quality of Malchut, stand at the very foot of the mountain, they don’t even have a drop of spiritual qualities, no strength to climb the mountain.
This brook that is flowing down (Bina) begins to mix with Malchut. This is great mercy of the Creator [3] when He gives His force in order to mix with the egoism of a person and to begin raising him. And a person is required only to close his mouth, heart, and eyes and to want just one thing: to be included in this brook by at least one point.
