Question: What should we ask the Creator for? Should we ask to have the correct desire?

Answer: We need two things. First, to mourn the fact that we are in the shattered Kelim, in other words, that we think only about ourselves and want to fulfill only ourselves.

Second, we need an awareness of the greatness of the Creator, the greatness of the quality of bestowal, which should bring us to an aspiration for the “rebuilt Jerusalem.” In other words, it is not enough to regret being in a state of evil; we must also aspire to a state of goodness.

This work takes place in accordance with two kinds of Reshimot (spiritual records) that must exist within us: Reshimo de Aviut, and Reshimo de Hitlabshut—a Reshimo from the Kli, and a Reshimo from the light.

The Reshimo from the Kli shows the state that the Kli is in compared to the state that it should be in. The Reshimo from the light shows what the nature of my attitude toward the Creator should be so as to bring me to the realization that the Creator is the ideal, perfection.
