Question: You say that tears are a manifestation of passive participation in correction and a sign of a person’s spiritual weakness. That is, it is a state of Katnut (smallness), a form of protection from egoism that does not give us the opportunity to work with it to bestow. What is passive participation in correction?

Answer: Passive participation is when a person does not have the ability to ask, demand, or participate in one’s correction. He only states the fact that he is in a certain state but nothing more. As a result of this passive component, he produces tears from his own weakness.

There are the states of smallness and the state of greatness in the spiritual world. In our world, up to a certain age there is also a state of smallness (infancy) and then a state of greatness (adulthood). We see that young children cry a lot more. As a consequence of this, it is the same thing in spirituality; that is, tears are from powerlessness that a person cannot work with his egoism.

In addition, young children also learn to manipulate with their tears. It is a natural defensive reaction for them.
