Question: What is the right environment for realizing the point in the heart?

Answer: In any point that attracts us with its corporeal pleasures there are three sources of attraction: envy, lust, and honor. We must use them so that on one hand we work with them, and on the other hand we distance ourselves from them.

Rabash writes about it in Note 119. Hence, Klipot [shells/peels] give one an awakening to enter Kedusha because they want to be rewarded with great lights. That is, the Klipot themselves want to come to the light and thus push a person toward actions where spiritual light is present. This is called Lo Lishma [not for Her sake]. Afterward, from this Lo Lishma, he can be rewarded with Lishma.

It turns out that the system of Klipot is very interesting. On one hand, they collect spiritual pleasures, attainments, understandings, and feelings, and thus attract a person. But on the other hand, they do not provide proper fulfillment. Instead, they irritate and pull the person even more toward them.

In this way, a person develops a great desire and a genuine longing to connect with the Klipot. However, when a person is within them, he begins to feel that it is precisely envy, lust, and honor that pull them away from these pleasures. Therefore, being in the Klipot helps a person not to immerse in them further but rather to free himself from them.
