Question: Can a person have power over his “horse” (body)? Doesn’t the system work so we work for the Creator and receive light from Him, which corrects my “horse” and my entire desire to receive?

Answer: As a rule, the horse takes the owner’s care of him for granted. But if so, why does the owner keep him in the stable rather than his home? It is because at home, a horse can smash and dirty everything.

Therefore, the owner builds a stall for it and keeps it there only for the horse to serve him; otherwise, he would not have put him there.

A person believes he is the master of his body, which is like a horse. He tells his body: “I give you so much food and care, not because I love you, but because you can work for the Creator. I cannot work for the Creator directly; I can only work through you. And what I give you, you receive only to the extent that you direct yourself to the Creator. If you work this way, you fulfill my intentions and further my actions—for the sake of the Creator.”

Therefore, it is considered that the horse belongs to its owner and receives everything necessary from him to benefit the owner. This is called “for the sake of bestowal.”

This is how a person performs good actions for the Creator, for himself, and his “horse.”

Question: How can a person determine what restrictions should be imposed on his “horse” at a given time?

Answer: To do this, he just needs to know his “horse” and do everything for its good work. That is, a person does not think about the Creator, and does not think about himself or the “horse”; he thinks of how to do a good deed for the Creator through the “horse.”

Question: What if, due to these restrictions, the “horse” starts bucking and behaving worse?

Answer: Then we need to get the “horse” in order. The “horse” must understand that what the owner does to it is necessary.
