“Israel provide for their Father in heaven.” What provision do they give Him by which He is sustained? (Rabash. Article 34, 1990, “What Are ‘A Layperson’s Vessels,’ in the Work?”).

Question: Usually the Creator sets the table, i.e., the host invites the person. But here, on the contrary, a person prepares a meal; he is like a host. Why is it the other way around? Does it mean something?

Answer: It all depends on what you are doing it for—either for the sake of receiving or for the sake of bestowing. If for the sake of bestowing, then you feed the King. But if it is for the sake of receiving, then you are being fed.

The actions are different, but everything determines the intention. It reverses the actions.

Question: How can we control the intention? Is it through a request, or in some other way?

Answer: Only through requesting.
