Question: How can we determine if we have a true desire for spirituality?

Answer: We can determine this only by our attitude to the group; as soon as I begin to understand that I depend on the group, then I have the correct desire.

Question: You say that we cultivate this desire (Hisaron). But isn’t it the Creator who cultivates it in us by coming closer to us and then distancing Himself from us?

Answer: Of course, everything comes from the Creator; there is none else besides Him. But we divide it into what comes from us and what comes from Him. Although in general, everything comes from Him.
