In our world, we assume there is a desire, and within the desire a pleasure; that they are two separate things. Indeed, this is how it works in the desire to receive. But in the desire to bestow, it is not so.

The desire to bestow is itself the pleasure. But since a person builds it upon the desire to receive, we are dealing with degrees of correction: the extent to which a part of the desire to receive participates in the aspiration to be like the giver.

The Kelim (vessels) are what matter most, while the upper light is at absolute rest. Therefore a person must strive for the correct Kelim, for the correct sensation that he should have all the time in relation to the Creator.

The beginning of correction is called “Everyone who mourns for Jerusalem.” It is when a person understands what the nature of their grief, what it concerns, what the concept “Jerusalem” means, what the destruction of Jerusalem is, and what this spiritual concept is that they must mourn for and that must become realized within them in the correct form.

If a person builds such a Kli, then of course nothing more is required of them and they are rewarded with this Kli being corrected according to the measure of their mourning since their mourning is directed toward their ego, against their desire to receive, against all the qualities called “the ruined Jerusalem.”

And when they regret this (this regret is called raising MAN), they are rewarded with the correction of this MAN from above. The light brings the correction, that is, a screen over those Kelim that mourn because they are in the state of the ruined Jerusalem, in the desire to receive.
