So what does the Creator do? He drops him from his high state into a state of lowliness. It follows that he is punished on the spot. This is the meaning of the words, “It is very stormy around Him,” meaning that the Creator is meticulous with the time of righteousness (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 289, “The Creator Is Meticulous with the Righteous”).

Question: What does it mean that “the Creator is meticulous with the time of righteousness”?

Answer: The Creator always gives us the exact states necessary for spiritual ascent. That is why it is said that the Creator gives everything to a person very precisely. How a person perceives what is given by the Creator is another matter. A person must understand that everything that happens to them comes only from the Creator. Therefore, they should not define their states according to their feelings, but only according to the goal.

Question: The Creator essentially forces a person to give more and more. We only have the option to agree with this, and that is all.

Answer: Nothing else is needed because this is the most correct choice: accept what the Creator has done for you and be grateful for it.
