The Taste of Dust
Question: We can experience the Shechina in the dust through our relationships with others, especially when there is some sense of detachment from them. This can be felt as both a punishment and a reward. What is the reward? How does the Creator help people by giving them the sensation of dust?
Answer: The reward is that a person is brought closer to even greater darkness. They enter a deeper state of insignificance, worthlessness, and inability to act, which leads them to the point where all they can do is cry out to the Creator. But it is precisely this cry that liberates them from the captivity of egoism.
Question: Is there any way to avoid the taste of dust in the work of bestowal?
Answer: No, there is not.
