So Pleasure Doesn’t Annul the Intention

237Question: Do Kabbalists bestow to the Creator without any conditions regardless of whether they have pleasure or not? How can someone rise to such a level where there is no difference?

Answer: Ask the Creator for the opportunity to bestow even in the worst states.

Question: What about the best states?

Answer: In the best states it is natural.

Comment: In the article “The Creator Is Meticulous with the Righteous,” Rabash writes that in the best states, it is difficult to bestow because when you feel good, you are bribed.

My Response: That is true. What do you suggest?

Question: To find some way to rise above this. After all, it turns out that you are striving for pleasure from the connection with the Creator, which is wrong. How do you act correctly?

Answer: Strive to ensure that pleasure does not take away the correct intention—to bestow to the Creator.
