Question: Does a person engaged in Kabbalah, when he receives any state and does not bestow from it, feel only himself?

Answer: If a person is in the quality of bestowal, then he feels others instead of himself, and if he is in the quality of reception, then he feels only himself.

There are only two possibilities: to feel your own desires or the desires of the other.

Our world is built on the fact that we feel only our own desires. We can feel the desires of the other only to the extent that we want to use him to fulfill our desires.

The spiritual world is built on the opposite principle, to feel the desires of the other and to feel your desires only to the extent that it is necessary in order to fulfill the desires of the other.
