All of a person’s work is to choose who governs them: the desire to receive or the desire to bestow. They must examine who currently rules over them and decide what they truly want.
If the desire to receive is in control, it is clear that this is not good, and they must seek ways to bring themselves under the authority of the desire to bestow. But even with the desire to bestow, there remains a question: Why do I bestow, for whom, when, and how?
The governance of bestowal can be established through the force received from the Torah. If we study the Torah with the intention of drawing from it the force of bestowal, then, step by step, we will gradually reveal this force and learn to use it more and more.
We ask the Creator to intervene and help us choose the quality of bestowal. Even before we begin studying, we must be certain that only the Creator alone governs all of existence, and our task is simply to reveal this to everyone.
Every person is born with two forces: the desire to receive and the desire to bestow. We see that the desire to receive dominates all of nature, yet nature also provides examples of bestowal. Even within a person, where egoistic desire reigns, thoughts of bestowal arise. We seek to choose the quality of bestowal because it is the attribute of the Creator. Nature itself teaches that it is worthwhile to belong to the quality of bestowal.
The force that pushes us toward bestowal comes from above, it is the force of the Creator Himself. And we see that although the force of bestowal contradicts our natural desire to receive, it holds the truth. That is why we are drawn to it, and ultimately, it becomes our new nature.
If I want to attain the quality of bestowal, I must enter an environment that has chosen this force and strives to reveal it. In this battle between the force of reception, which I was born with, and the force of bestowal, which I acquire now, I must choose with whom I want to continue.

Tomorrow, the International Kabbalah Convention begins. Every second, new friends from all over the world are arriving, and tomorrow, they will be joined by friends from across Israel. In the physical center of the convention in Israel alone, more than two and a half thousand people will participate.
What guidance can be given here? Simply to wish each one to desire to feel others within their heart. This is the most correct and beautiful intention.
Strive to be as close to one another as possible, and do not utter a single word that is not aimed at clarifying love.

Question: Is it love or the fire in our hearts that is the indicator of bestowing to the Creator?
Answer: The indicator is the connection with the Creator. Initially it is not entirely accurate to call it love. However, after some effort we will start to feel what will happen if we strive correctly for the connection and what it will look like then.
Gradually we will begin to unite with others as complements to one another, as support for one another, and so on. Eventually we will develop a desire that will bind us, and we will receive a response from the Creator: who we are, what we are, and what we are going to attain.

Question: How are thoughts connected to feelings?
Answer: Thoughts govern both the mind and the body. Therefore it is crucial for us to bring ourselves to a state in which we feel only one desire. If we achieve this, it means that we are tuned correctly.

Question: What exercise should we do in our hearts to correctly direct our thoughts?
Answer: If your heart is open to your friends, you will clearly feel that what you understand now is exactly what they are saying. To direct your heart to a friend means that you wish to be united with them in one heart so that your desires align.
You want to feel the questions together as if you are the ones asking them and the answers as if you are the ones answering. This is very important.
You should imagine that the questions being asked are directed personally at you, and you are personally answering them. If you listen to the entire convention in this way, you will feel how you are being filled.

Comment: I direct my heart straight to the Creator, and I feel that I prevent Him from clothing in it. And I cannot understand where I should strengthen myself—either in the power of Aviut (coarseness) that is directed toward the Creator or in the purity of my intention to bring Him contentment.
My Response: You need to strengthen yourself in unity with your friends who are present here so that throughout the entire congress you are with them as one whole.
