A person must try not to want anything, and that his only desire will be to bestow contentment upon the Creator and not for his self-love, but for the love of the Creator. This is a great effort because it is against the nature with which he was created (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 545, “Laboring and Finding“).

Question: What is this state where a Kabbalist is always in the desire to bestow?

Answer: It is a state where the Creator is great in their eyes. Because of this, they want to bestow to Him. This is our attitude toward someone who is above us.

Question: What does it mean: I want to bestow to Him? Do I look for some ways, or do I do this through connection with the ten?

Answer: In any way possible.

Question: But isn’t this some kind of intimate, tangible connection with someone you feel?

Answer: At first it may not be so personal or intimate.
