Question: How does a person differentiate between the light of Hochma and the light of Hassadim in their inner work?

Answer: The difference lies in the very vessel, in the desire itself: either I strive to be in the light of Hochma or in the light of Hassadim. These are opposite things: we receive the light of Hochma in the vessels of reception, while the light of Hassadim is received in the vessels of bestowal.

We should strive to create such a state of connection between us where both the light of Hochma and the light of Hassadim will fill us, and we will be able to retain them within ourselves.

Question: What does it mean to fill a person with the light of Hassadim?

Answer: It means we draw them away from receiving so that they remain in the quality of bestowal at all times.

Question: In the group of ten, we try to bestow upon our friends and ask the Creator to grant us this quality. At what point can we begin to care about the vessels of reception?

Answer: A person should not focus on their own vessels of reception. We should only care about how to bestow upon our friends. In doing so, we will correct ourselves to the point where our vessels become entirely vessels of bestowal.
