Question: Previously, it seemed to me that the sequence of spiritual actions is as follows: a desire arises, which is processed in the mind, and only then comes the action. However, in the articles of Kabbalists a different sequence is described: first desire, then action, and only then does the mind serve it. Why?

Answer: In spirituality, the most important is not the mind, but the action. We must act with what is called faith above reason. It will come gradually. Slowly this is processed within us, enters the necessary systems of perception, and eventually, we will understand everything.
