Question: What will give us the fuel to strive for fulfilling the condition of mutual guarantee (Arvut)?

Answer: The fuel is above in the surrounding light. If you are not talking about deficiencies, but about what can serve as support, then support exists only in the light. You won’t find support in the Kli.

You might ask: “If there’s no support in the Kli, then what is this mutual guarantee that I’m in together with the other vessels? Who are they? They’re just like me!”

That’s true. But precisely through this you reveal the light. What does Baal HaSulam say? That from the moment we desire for it to happen, we begin to receive a covering, a screen over our will to receive that gives us the feeling that we don’t need to worry about ourselves. A feeling of confidence appears that I won’t lack anything.

Where does such confidence come from? Are my friends really ready to fill me, to satisfy my needs? They don’t fill me at all, and they can’t! Maybe in my group everyone is spiritually “impoverished”! It doesn’t matter. I receive compensation, a covering from above, a feeling that I lack nothing. This is the force of the light!

Sometimes we experience great inspiration. That same kind of inspiration you receive in a permanent and absolute form, and it silences the will to receive. You begin to understand that the will to receive was simply teasing you, it didn’t really need anything; it was just constantly prodding you. And now, it has gone quiet and you’re free.

Question: That’s when Arvut is already revealed. But until then? From the initial moment up to that point?

Answer: Even between the beginning and that point, you receive support and advancement solely through the light! The light and nothing else! Stop expecting to find anything inside the Kelim! Arvut itself and all the stages leading up to it are attained only by means of the light!

That’s why Baal HaSulam says that the most important thing is the quality of effort during the study so that you study in order to draw the light that will change you. Only in it will you find strength.
