What Is Sacrifice?

608.02Question: In Kabbalah there is a state that everyone who is engaged in spiritual development goes through. It is called sacrifice. What is the essence of this state? What are we sacrificing?

Answer: We sacrifice our egoism, that is, our nature (inanimate, vegetative, and animate), which desires only pleasures, easy life, and success in everything possible.

Our desire for such a life is the innate nature of egoism. And if we want to limit ourselves in it and come to another state where we do not want to use our egoism but, on the contrary, want to move away and not use it, this is called sacrifice.
