Question: If the resolution of wars is the main work, then what should we strive for: peace or wars?

Answer: Of course, we must strive for peace and never desire war. We should rejoice in the fact that we are under the authority of the Creator, under His governance of the world, and in the sensation that He is Good and does good toward us and that we belong to Him nd are included in His governance.

These are things we should not run away from. We must strengthen ourselves in them, because in those states we are closer to the Creator if we accept them for the sake of bestowal and not for our own pleasure.

It is a great commandment to abide in joy, but not from being distant from the Creator; rather, from adhesion with Him. This is true joy, the joy of a commandment. However, if you simply feel good, this is the prosperity of the wicked, as it is said: “the wicked, yet it is good for him.”

Therefore, if you have been granted some state in which you feel that there is a certain mutual connection according to equivalence of form, and not because you feel good according to material sensations (although even an “animal” joy is not forbidden and is not a transgression), yet if, in accordance with your intention, you have equivalence and you maintain the intention, and to that extent feel joy, you should not run away from it and seek wars.

But at the very moment you reach this, a state of war will come to you, because the Creator wants to increase the connection between you. And this is possible only through the revelation of additional Kelim that require correction.

But what does it mean “the Creator wants”? It means that new Reshimot are immediately revealed, and you enter a new degree with the purpose of attaining it.
