Question: When a person strives toward the Creator above their suffering to bring Him contentment and is willing to work without any taste, where does the feeling of joy come from?

Answer: It comes from the fact that the person is advancing toward the Creator. The state of Hafetz Hesed (one who desires nothing for themselves) is impossible without joy.

Question: If there is no joy, does this sadden the Creator?

Answer: Of course. To generate joy, one must constantly think about it. The more you think about it, the easier it becomes to express it later.

Question: Do the three states Hafetz Hesed, the process of correction, and the corrected state bring equal contentment to the Creator?

Answer: Certainly not. They bring contentment to the Creator only to the extent that a person can process these states, bring them closer to oneself, and turn to the Creator with the help of each state.
