Question: Baal HaSulam writes that the light was restricted in order to give the creations room to develop.

But we study that the light was restricted because of the shame of creation. Why did the restriction occur?

Answer: Indeed, the reason for concealment of the light is, on one hand, to give creation freedom, not to put pressure on it with force from above, and on the other hand, so that creation could, according to its decision, come closer to the Creator.
