Question: Who is the ox that we make work for the Creator?

Answer: It is our heart that wants to work only for itself and only looks for gain for itself in every movement.

Question: Is the land that it cultivates also a heart, but an egoistic one?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How can we direct our heart to work in bestowal? That is, what in our work will be this yoke?

Answer: Put yourself in the place of the person about whom it is said that he wants to raise all the questions he has to the Creator and receive some kind of answer. This is his desire. Now, the only question is: does he receive the answer to his desire or not? If he does not, what should he do?

First, it is said: “As an ox to the burden and as a donkey to the load.” This means that he should treat his spiritual work in this way. If he reaches such a state of “as an ox to the burden and a donkey to the load” on the part of a person, this will be the correct attitude. Then the Creator will certainly give him strength for the sake of bestowal. And so he will continue.
