Question: The 13^th part of The Study of the Ten Sefirot describes the system of the universe where all our desires come from even before our world was formed.

It also says how tears appear. They symbolize an excess of light. When the light enters the Kli (vessel), and the Kli cannot accept it, it seems to overflow over the edge. This is called tears. How does one understand this?

Answer: When the reflected light does not have the opportunity to receive direct light, then these remnants of light seem to pour out in the form of tears.

That is, you cry because you do not have the opportunity to properly accept the highest pleasure, and you regret it. But not because you cannot accept it, but because you cannot accept it for the sake of the Creator, and this makes you bitter. This is the reason for tears.

Question: And how can you come to such a state at all?

Answer: They come.
