There is a science concerning how a Kli (spiritual vessel) senses the upper force acting on it. If this study involves perception at the lowest level, it is referred to as the knowledge of this world, the sciences that exist in this world.

However, everything we study within these sciences is merely the impact of the upper force on the Kli without any change whatsoever in the properties of the Kli itself.

Yet, there is a method that enables one to change the properties of the Kli and bring them into correspondence with the upper force, and consequently the Kli will begin to reveal and perceive the upper force with greater intensity. This method is called the science of Kabbalah, a discipline in which the Kli, by transforming itself, studies what it feels and explores its sensations.

The difference between the science of Kabbalah and the sciences of this world is that the sciences of this world, while indeed studying the sensations resulting from the influence of the upper force on us, do not change the properties of the Kli to align with the upper force; that is, they do not engage in what we term “attainment of equivalence of qualities.”

If, however, the Kli begins to change its qualities, assimilating them to those of the upper force, then the entirety of this process, encompassing both the internal transformation itself and what the Kli perceives and receives from the upper force, is collectively what is known as the science of Kabbalah. This constitutes its fundamental difference from other sciences.
