Question: Must I first commit a sin in order to build a Kli?

Answer: In the second part of Study of the Ten Sefirot, in “Inner Observation,” we study that there are the concepts of “possible” and “intending,” and from these arise four combinations: “possible and intending,” “not possible and not intending,” “not possible and intending,” and “possible and not intending.”

In short, these are four possibilities. Therefore, we see that not everything, not always, and not immediately is interpreted as a sin. In fact, a sin is when you could refrain from enjoying, yet still intend to enjoy. Of all four degrees, this occurs only in Malchut.

All of this is not so simple. But we do not need to think about it or examine whether I intended it or not. This is not for us, who are below the Machsom. This is absolutely not our work.

Simply, from what is given to us, we need to try to understand something and carry it out. The main thing is not to run away from the “battlefield.” What matters is the process of study, the work in the group, conducting lessons, and other things of this kind that we carry out. Everything else that happens to us is completely unimportant.

The most important thing is that you do not violate anything that should be part of your daily schedule. If you have a daily schedule, then everything else will fall into place, and you do not need to pay attention to it. There are things to which you simply need to turn a blind eye. Let them happen to me, and that is that.
