Question: What is the proof that my work is for the benefit of the Creator?

Answer: The main thing is that your “horse” (your will to receive) should be focused in its actions on the Creator and on the good things it can bring to the Creator through its work. Otherwise, you would not bother dealing with it, with its stable, and everything that connects you.

So when you take all the desires of the “horse” and aim them toward the Creator, then you are clearly performing this work.

Question: What should I do if I do not have great Kelim (vessels) in my senses, but I want to bestow to the Creator?

Answer: If you do not feel large desires, the issue may be that you do not feel them. But in principle, you can always find desires that are directed toward the Creator.

Question: Can hating my body (desires for my own sake) bring contentment to the Creator? Or should I accept it as a necessary part of creation and work outside of it?

Answer: You cannot hate your body. You cannot take your desires and say that you hate them specifically.

You must divide your desires into those that can be directed toward the Creator and those that can be directed toward creation in general.

The most important thing is when a person feels they have control over their “horse” and say to it: “What I am giving you now is not because I love you but so that you can do the work that is needed for the Creator. Everything you receive, you get in the amount I want to give you. Why am I doing this? So that the Creator benefits from it; otherwise, I would not give you this work.”
