Question: Do all the inner qualities of a person become stronger when one studies Kabbalah?

Answer: Naturally. At first a person becomes a huge egoist, even more so than others, because they reveal their true ego, not the small, animalistic egoism that everyone has.

If you ask someone on the street whether they are an egoist, they will say: “No, I am a normal person. Of course I care primarily about my family, children, and loved ones, then about my city, my country, and beyond that about all of humanity. Naturally, there are different circles of concern, but I am not an egoist. I want everyone to be well because I am sure that if everyone is well, then I will be well too.”

In other words, people justify themselves. And only those who study Kabbalah begin to see that, in reality, they hate everyone and are only looking for ways to use them.
