Question: Sometimes it seems that you exert a lot of effort but the Creator, on the contrary, moves away from you. What does this mean? Does it mean that the Creator wants you to put more effort or that perhaps the efforts are incorrect?

Answer: No, the Creator has actions that are similar to the movement of a fleeing deer, as it is said: “My beloved is like a gazelle.”

It seems to us that the Creator is running away from us, but it is similar to how a deer runs away from a hunter and turns back to see if the hunter is chasing it or not.
