Question: When states are revealed in which it seems to us that we are in bestowal, how do we return to our nature that is far from bestowal?

Answer: Why would we want to return to our egoistic nature? I want to always remain in the quality of bestowal. If I desire to come closer to the Creator, why would I want to distance myself from Him?

He Himself will distance me to the extent and in the form necessary for my next state. What my next state will be—negative (left line) or positive (right line)—I cannot say. That is not my concern.

My task is only to exert the proper efforts and assess the state I am currently in relative to the group. This is precisely what I must continuously analyze and strive to improve.
