Now you can understand the root of the corruptions that were incorporated promptly in the thought of creation, which is to delight His created beings.

“God has made them one opposite the other.” In that state, the turbid, corporeal body is set before us, of which it was said, “For the inclination of a man’s heart is evil from his youth.” This is so because its entire nursing from its youth is from the yeast of the Klipot. (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Inner Observation,” Chapter 4, Item 17)

The root of all the suffering and problems is only in the will to receive, in the desire, not just to enjoy, but to enjoy for one’s own sake

Question: Then why did the Creator create these desires?

Answer: In order for us, despite the desire to enjoy, to prefer the desire to bring pleasure to others so that we would rise above the desire to bring pleasure to ourselves and turn it into a desire to please others.
