It is as the verse says in the name of the righteous: “You are idle, you are idle; therefore, you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord our God’” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 150, “Sing unto the Lord, for He Has Done Pride”).

Question: Sacrifice is like atonement. But we need to work in the ten so should we should strive for unity and not sacrifice?

Answer: Yes. But to strive for unity, you need to make a sacrifice. You sacrifice your egoism, various qualities, and perhaps your attachment to earthly matters to ascend to the Creator.

Question: It is said: “Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord our God.” How do you free yourself from pride, by thinking that you have already offered the Creator the proper sacrifice since He brought you closer, as if He owes you?

Answer: You have to start all over again. If a person feels that the Creator owes him, it is the worst feeling.
