Question: You said that if there is no desire to bestow to the Creator, bestowing to friends is impossible. On the other hand, we say that it is from bestowing to the creations that we transition to bestowing to the Creator. So is the effort to love a friend without a prior desire to bestow to the Creator an incorrect effort?

Answer: It is incorrect. What are you directing your effort to? As it is said: “The end of an action is in its initial thought.”

Therefore, you should first direct yourself toward an action for the Creator, and then consider how you can begin this action.

It is quite possible that you will need to start by working with friends and then draw closer to bestowing to the Creator.

Question: What helps us build the correct intention?

Answer: An appropriate attitude toward friends. If you desire to give to them, this will lead you to the correct intention regarding the Creator.
