It follows, that one’s work is needed to receive Lishma from the Creator only in the form of a lack and a Kli (Vessel). Yet, one can never attain the fulfillment alone; it is rather a gift from God (Baal HaSulam, Shamati, Article No. 5, “Lishma Is an Awakening from Above, and Why Do We Need an Awakening from Below?”).

Question: Why is my inability to reach fulfillment called a gift from the Creator?

Answer: Because you received it from Him and you do not need anything else except the desire to work for the Creator. If you have it, you can advance right up to the end of creation.

Therefore, what you have received from the Creator is priceless. This is the gift.
