Because the light of Ein Sof was even, the restriction too was even. This is the meaning of the circle (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Restriction and line,” Chapter 1).

A circle is an ideal even shape. Therefore, when the light created and filled the creation and the creation felt itself opposite to the light, its restriction was also in the form of a circle.

Since the light of Ein Sof was completely even, it had to have restricted itself evenly on all sides, and not restrict itself on one side more than on the others.

The restriction happened in all phases and absolutely in all directions since this was determined by the nature of the light that filled the creation.

That is, restriction is the law of the universe that says if a person wants to receive light for his own sake, he does not have the opportunity to do so.
