Question: What is the difference between the light of mercy and the light of love? Is this the initial stage toward love?

Answer: It is the difference between the light of Hassadim and the light of Hochma. It manifests itself in a person in completely different circumstances.

In spirituality, there is the light of Hochma (wisdom) and the light of Hassadim (mercy). The light of Hassadim is weaker, the light of Hochma is stronger. Therefore, first we must come to the light of Hassadim, which gives us the opportunity to work with Kelim of bestowal.

And then we reach a state where we already have the light of Hochma (the light of wisdom), and will be able to work with Kelim of reception for the sake of bestowal.
