Question: How can you ask for others when you feel like you have lost the taste for it?

Answer: That is actually a good thing.

Question: Should I continue working mechanically?

Answer: Absolutely! Working mechanically is the best thing you can do. It is the beginning of a new degree.

The thing is, when there is no taste, you are not demanding anything for yourself. When there is no taste, no desire, you are able to pray for others. But this is a small state.

A big state is when you deeply desire to fulfill yourself, yet you still pray for others. Right now you are being prepared for that.

So pray for others and you will see that taste will appear: “But what about me?! What’s happening to me?”—and this is how you will gradually rise above these desires.
