In the Direction of Mutual Guarantee
The main condition for the common soul to be corrected and fit to receive the light is the mutual guarantee between its parts.
We must attain the very state originally created by the Creator by our own efforts. What are those efforts? They are efforts in Arvut.
As we ascend from below upward through the degrees of adhesion, we do so, of course, unconsciously, without strength, without understanding, without prior agreement to what lies ahead. All that is asked of us is to express, even in the simplest and most naïve way, a desire for something we do not yet truly know.
We simply walk, and through the surrounding light (Ohr Makif), we awaken the allure of holiness from the spiritual world upon ourselves. We begin to feel that this is something desirable, and then we act in the direction of Arvut.
What does this mean? It means we move in the direction of the correction of the Kli (vessel). That is, the Creator’s light is present and fills us; our task is only to reveal it. The Creator is already within us. This state is unchanging, but we can uncover it only through a certain action called the Arvut.
