Similarly, in spirituality, first, one needs to receive from below upward. At that time, he can only receive and not add.

But afterwards, in the second state, one can add as well (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 166  “Two Discernments in Attainment”).

Question: What do we receive from below upward: Hissarons (deficiencies) of the nations of the world or do we collect those sparks of light that fell into Klipa?

Answer: We collect all the sparks that have fallen into our egoism. We do not want to work with egoism, but we collect all the sparks and raise them, and from this our holy image begins to be created, which is aimed only at bestowal.

To do this, we try to be closer to each other and ask the Creator to connect us so that we feel who we are and what state we are in.
