Question: How can we constantly preserve the greatness of the Creator?

Answer: A person grows through the Creator’s Kelim (vessels). He wants to feel what the Creator is preparing, what He takes pleasure in, and how He manifests Himself toward him. A person acquires the Creator’s Kelim, because regarding his own Kelim, he only has the point in the heart.

All of Malchut’s greatness beyond the point in the heart is only through the Giver.

What is the greatness of the first stage (Behina Aleph) of the four stages of the development of the direct light? It is awareness of the giver; it is qualitative growth, the growth of understanding, rather than physical volume. In spirituality, it cannot be that I want one or two grams of the same thing.

“I want something” is a point, just pleasure. Beyond this, I want a deeper pleasure, one more connected to the giver, because besides the bodily and human pleasures contained in the point, all other pleasures are due to the giver, due to my connection with Him. They come because I am close to Him.

It is as if you were taken on as a cleaner in a palace and given a minimum reward, just enough so that you would not starve to death, while all the other pleasures come only to the extent that you realize where you are. We see something similar in our world. There are people who are close to power, and their pleasure is not in their salary, but in the feeling of being connected to power.

The pleasures that exist above this world are similar to this. They are all due to the greatness of the Creator in our eyes. And all the other pleasures that we receive through the body or through the environment of this world are like a point, like the hundred dollars that you receive and that are enough for you; you do not demand more. But the demand for more is due to the greatness of that to which you are connected.

Here you can truly increase the importance of this to such an extent that you will receive infinite pleasure. Everything depends only on the importance you attribute to it. You can be next to a king, and the hundred dollars will mean nothing to you; His greatness fills you. “He who is devoted to the perfect becomes perfect.”

We see this at work in the material world as well, within our ego, and that a greater reward is not necessary. But even in this world, devotion is required of a person. This is his payment for being given the awareness of belonging to great things, for example, to power. The laws are opposite in their use, but they are the same laws.
