Question: The Creator suffers from the fact that He cannot bestow to the creation. But for what reason would the creation develop a need to bestow to the Creator?

Answer: The need to bestow comes to the creation from above without any preparation on its part. Just as the light that filled the first stage gave it its nature, so too the surrounding light that descends upon the one who studies Kabbalah, who wants to connect with the root, gives him its qualities.

Even if for now he simply wants to connect with the root without even yet realizing what it is; however, he studies not for the sake of knowledge, but for the sake of filling the point in the heart. And then the surrounding light, by influencing him, brings him the enchantment of holiness, and brings him precisely an affinity for the quality of bestowal.

The surrounding light gives a person the desire to bestow. A person does not know how this happens. We are not capable of expressing how, within the desire to receive, a desire to bestow is born; just as from the first stage of direct light, the second stage is formed. We have no words to express this transformation.
