Question: It is said that there are many lights that a person receives while in adhesion with holiness. Therefore, when they entice a person to attract good into their qualities, they receive this light.

What does it mean that they tempt a person?

Answer: The fact is that the light descending on us from afar attracts us. And the desires that it shines into are egoistic, so they confuse a person and drag him to themselves. Thus, when we approach it, we lose all these lights.
