Question: Is it preferable to work with the Creator when you have merged with Him through your efforts and you understand this, or when you are not in connection with Him but must make efforts and relate everything to Him?

Answer: What is better in the eyes of the Creator? It is when you make an effort.

Question: So is working in Lo Lishma (receiving for oneself) preferable in the eyes of the Creator?

Answer: On one hand, yes. Because it pushes you to make efforts toward correction.
