If I have a desire to bestow to the Creator, must I actually give something or is the desire itself sufficient? The desire is sufficient. I do not have to do anything else, for in truth I have nothing to give Him except the desire.

My work is to move from the absence of desire to a state in which it appears within me. Once I acquire the desire, I have nothing more to do. Everything is complete. The desire is the Kli (vessel), and if I have a Kli that works in order to bestow, that is enough; I have done my work.

How do I come to the desire to bestow to the Creator? Where do I get it from? It is said that initially a person is given a point in the heart. Without it, you are simply an animal. But if this point is given, meaning a desire to attain spirituality, then you must do everything else yourself.

This is possible only through the group, the books, and the teacher, that is, through external means at your disposal, through life in this world. There is nothing else. From above, you are given a spark called the point in the heart, and with this spark you must rise higher and higher.

How can this be achieved? Nothing more will be given to you from above. But we have built a system called “this world” around ourselves. And then, by the fact that within your circle there are books, a teacher, and friends, you can use them and move forward. So the spark is there, the environment is there, the goal is clear. Bon voyage!
