To enter the state of Lishma (intention for the sake of the Creator), one must find the key that unlocks this specific door. This is where the test lies: am I in the right state? Can I open this door or not? If not, it is as if I am retreating, returning to my previous state.

The test is whether all my accumulated experience up to this point is forming the correct key that will open the entrance to Lishma.

In the corporeal world, we can clearly see a lock and a key that cannot open it. The same applies here. I realize that I am not yet ready to unlock this door: either I lack fear before the heavens, or the shape of my key does not yet match the lock, meaning they do not fit together.

The Creator gives us the Torah as keys to inner doors, but we do not have the key to the outer door, the fear before the heavens. Under special conditions, under the influence of external forces, I begin to feel that I must achieve the correct alignment between the key and the lock.

The key is my inner form, my friends, my tens. The outer form must be arranged like a house, so that the key fits into the lock and can turn it, that is, so that all the details of the house and the key align.

Together, friends build the form that I must align myself with. Each person adjusts himself through their own individual work, and after these efforts, we all unlock the lock together. But outside the ten, there is no key that can open it.

As I approach the correct form, I feel more precisely what is needed to unlock it. The right key is when my aspiration fits the lock exactly, and we merge in one desire. In other words, I seek to match the lock’s need and take on a form that completely fills its empty space so that I can then turn it in the direction required by the environment.

If the key does not fit even slightly, the lock will not turn. But if we, together with the friends, connect closely to all parts of the lock, we can clarify everything unnecessary that prevents us from fully inserting the key and unlocking the lock.
