Question: Baal HaSulam writes that there are three preceding stages in which the desire to bestow prevails over the weak desire to receive. Does this mean that at a certain stage both the desire to bestow and the desire to receive exist simultaneously? How can that be at the same time?

Answer: Even in material life this happens, when we want to bestow a little and also to receive, since we consist of two opposite desires.

Question: But we study that we consist only of the desire to receive.

Answer: Yes, but when we have a choice to receive or to bestow, then we weigh what is more advantageous for our desire.
