Question: Why do students of a Kabbalist have some kind of an inner yearning for Kabbalah?

Answer: Not only for Kabbalah. Sometimes they have a yearning to go live in some village, in some kibbutz or some such place, in order to gather a group of like-minded people there.

But this is just a certain point on the way of their development. After this group, they will understand that they are drawn to a broad society in order to realize their idea there, otherwise they will not ascend.

Question: But why, when a person experiences difficult states, does he not abandon Kabbalah, but rather still holds on to this source?

Answer: How can he break away from it?! Indeed, at the same time, he loses hope to reveal the upper world. How is this possible?

A person cannot be satisfied with a lower level than the one to which he has developed. He simply cannot.

Offer me now a golden cage, that is, not to study Kabbalah, but anything you want in this world. Can I do it?! I will get desperate the next day. What will this wealth give me? What will I do with it?

A person can no longer descend to this level because we are bonded. We realize the level of egoism that works within us. We cannot go lower; it is against the movement of nature. If people come to us and then leave, then they find out that they are not yet at this level; they were mistaken. It means that they are one floor below.
