Question: How can one remember the Creator throughout the entire day? How can one bring Him into every moment?

Answer: We are in Malchut of the world of infinity, which is entirely filled with light. However, instead of this eternal, perfect state, we see and feel our own properties, which paint the material world for us.

So, if we want to direct ourselves toward the goal, toward feeling the world of infinity, we need mutual guarantee from the environment. Friends must give us strength, desire, persistence, diligence, and awareness of the importance of the goal.

After all, my only goal is to acquire the right desire and nothing more. Even if I constantly lack the concern to bring contentment to the Creator, just as He bestows it upon me, that is the focus.

One might object here: I don’t know what He gives me. Judging by my life, one could argue that it might have been better if He gave me nothing.

That is true. Of course, everyone’s denial is according to their own flaw. Therefore, my attitude toward the Creator can be defined as follows: I want to reach a state in which I will wish to bestow upon Him.

The result itself will come through the influence of the light, through the efforts we make time and again. The light pours down again and again, and suddenly these illuminations create a desire in a person.

We do not know what Lishma is or what awakening from above is. But when it comes, a person can say: “Now I know; now I understand.” We must make efforts, like a small child—and from these efforts, a sensation will emerge. Not before.
