A slave is one who is enslaved to the pleasure. When people’s pleasure comes from reception, they are called “Pharaoh’s servants” (Rabash, Notes #921 “The Need for an Act from Below”).

Why do we need to be slaves? It is to understand that the egoism that rules over us is Pharaoh. Only by getting rid of it will we be able to achieve other states and a different perception of life.

The Creator develops egoism in us so that we can see how much evil the ego brings us. When we reveal this, we begin to treat egoism as a negative phenomenon and ask the Creator to correct it to the opposite, to altruism.
