Question: As far as I understand, the first step that needs to be taken to see the ladder of spiritual ascent and start working is restriction.

What is the difference between restriction and annulment?

Answer: The annulment of egoism is simply an annulment when a person switches from one state, from one relationship to another, as if excluding his egoism.

But it happens sometimes that he needs to gradually reduce his egoism in order to see what state his connection with the group and with the Creator is in. Thus, he gradually learns the possibilities of his actions and the reaction of the Creator.

Restriction means that he stops using his desire that he used before.
