The light is the feeling of the divine, the Creator. The Creator and the light are synonymous terms. That is, my perception of the Creator is what is called light.

When the Creator filled me, as though a mother was holding me by the hands, this was the feeling of direct light, the light of Hochma, of knowledge.

But when I myself take a step forward toward the Creator, I fill the Kli with my own light, my own efforts, the light of Hassadim. This is no longer the light of Hochma. In other words, I come to the same feeling of the light, but through my own effort. And after that, I have both the light of Hassadim and the light of Hochma.

If I am already in spirituality, I even feel how the “mother” rejoices that I have connected with her. The very union with the mother takes on a completely different meaning for me. Now I have returned to her after feeling longing for her, I felt bad being far from her. I made tremendous efforts for this.

A person who takes an independent step becomes as if filled with life. This can be seen even in a child: how he rejoices as he falls into his mother’s embrace. In a state of darkness, we are filled with the light of faith.
