Question: Should I work not for the sake of the reward, nor myself, should I not want to receive anything?

Answer: No, you work to get a reward. But which one? It is to be able to bestow to the Creator.

Question: But I understand that bestowing to the Creator means making efforts and enjoying His work.

Answer: No, you do not have to make your conclusions. You must read the sources, or your understanding will give you such a philosophy that you will not know where you are. Our reward is acquiring the property of bestowal, becoming similar to the Creator.

Question: Should I cry out for the sake of such a reward?

Answer: Yes, you should get a sense of importance and need for this reward through the group so much so that you can live only for this. And everything else is your purely earthly egoism.
