Question: The Creator gives descents in reception for one’s own sake. Can the Kli (vessel) grow without these descents?

Answer: No, it cannot. It is only from descents that we grow. It is said simply: everyone who is greater than his friend, his evil inclination is even greater. Those who are more spiritually advanced have more egoism.

Comment: I would like to control this.

My Response: There is no need to control anything, just move forward.
