Question: How does the addition of Aviut, which is necessary for further advancement, relate to restriction, to the state of Katnut, which is when I don’t want the great lights, but want to serve the small ones?

Answer: When we rise and desire to make a restriction in order to ascend to a higher degree, the light that acts at this upper level also restricts us. So there is no contradiction between rising to a higher light and its restriction.

Question: So it’s not my actions, not my decisions, but the influence of the light on my readiness?

Answer: Yes, you only decide: yes or no.
