Question: Why is it so important for a person to know what they derive pleasure from?

Answer: There is an animal state, the desire to receive, which enjoys what it receives. The light departs, it feels bad, and when it returns, it feels good.

Within the desire to receive, there is a point in the heart, and I want to develop it. However, I can do this only with the help of the light of faith, because it is a desire to bestow, a spark of the screen that I once had before the shattering of Adam HaRishon.

What is the point in the heart? It is a spark that fell into the Klipot (shells, impurities), a part of the reflected light that I had when I was within Adam HaRishon. I need to fan it into a flame through the greatness of the goal and the greatness of the Creator.

How can I do this? By comparing it to any other desire, one that may or may not be happy with the illumination from above. It is precisely when this desire does not enjoy the illumination from above that I can see what is happening to my point in the heart: whether it has grown or not, whether I can act under its influence or not.

If the illumination departs and I am incapable of doing anything, then the point has remained just a point, like in any person on the street. It is as though it does not exist; it has not awakened. I feel despair and act only from the desire to receive.

But if, at a time when the desire to receive does not give me anything, I can act from the point in the heart, then it is precisely in it that I feel life. Only in the state of striving toward the Creator, that is, in the state of darkness, can I feel this life.

Question: Is it darkness in the point in the heart that gives me this feeling?

Answer: It is not the darkness in the point in the heart, but the darkness in the general desire to receive.
