Question: If a person does not give praise to the Creator, then he is pushed away from the King’s palace. What does it mean “to give praise” ?

Answer: When it is about a king of flesh and blood, it is clear If you do not show him honor, he orders his servants to throw you out of the palace. What is meant here?

Praise of the Creator is the intention for the sake of bestowal because without your similarity to bestowal you have nothing to do in My palace. If you do not bestow, you are not similar to Me and by this you yourself throw yourself down from the degree of the state of connection.

Who throws you down? My servants. Who are these servants that I send to you? Disturbances and foreign thoughts. I send them to you so that you will be strengthened in the connection with Me, and you submit to them, and they serve to break the connection between us. This is called that you are now torn away from Me. For in the spiritual there is no “inside” a room and “outside,” there is no space; torn away means distanced. It turns out that the thoughts that were sent to you pushed you away.

But “they raise in holiness and do not lower,” meaning that after you return to efforts, digest these disturbances, overcome them, make a calculation about them, and on their basis renew the connection with the Creator, then these foreign thoughts will become like an additional connection, a force, an additional contact with the Creator. There are no disturbances; it is “help against you.”
