The descent a person receives is intended for his own benefit. He is taken care of from above in a special way that lowers him from the previous state in which, it would seem, he has a little perfection, as evidenced by his willingness to remain in this state all the days of his life.

If we begin to catch ourselves in what states we are in, then as a rule we agree for them to remain like they are. We are not trying to get out of them. We realize that they come from the Creator precisely so we can feel what state can be spiritually higher, but not according to our sensation of when it is pleasant and more understandable in the heart and mind—no.

So what state should I strive for? Toward greater definition that everything in me is from the Creator.

I do not want to change the state, but rather to single out the Creator as its source. This is the most important thing to me. Let them give me any states: good or bad, confusing or clear; I will not even criticize or define them; it does not matter to me.

I immediately rush inward to their source, the Creator. It is important to me how I want to imagine Him as the source of what is currently being depicted in my feelings and my mind, that is, not the state itself, but the definition, with maximum clarity, that it comes from the Creator.

Moreover, I do not necessarily determine only this. I need to determine the most important thing in this: His quality. After all, if we are talking about the Creator, that “He is good that does good,” then I must feel this in my states.
