The scrutiny should be for the will to receive, which is the quality of judgment, to be included in the quality of mercy, and by this the body will become a Kli that is fit to receive the light of the soul (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 353, “Abraham Arose“).

It is about clarifying what state a person is in: whether he is with the desire to receive, the desire to bestow, or both desires together.

To achieve this, one must awaken themselves toward spiritual ascent so that they can turn to the Creator and demand that He grant them an upper degree, from this upper degree, they can once again turn to Him, thus renewing themselves on this new degree. It is in the Creator granting us a new degree that His attribute of mercy is revealed.

By examining ourselves to see what more we need to do, we awaken within ourselves the attribute of judgment (the desire to receive) and strive to include it within the attribute of mercy (the desire to bestow) until we see that our desire to receive can be filled with the light of Hochma in the light of Hassadim. In this way, we begin to correctly perceive all that exists.
