Question: The Creator always gives and the creation always receives. How can one distinguish between the two?

Answer: It is very simple; instead of relating to the Creator as an infant to its mother, I myself want to become like her.

Question: But why does she need me to be like her? It is clear that I need Him, but why does He need me?

Answer: Indeed, the mother needs nothing, and the Creator is revealed without any lack (Hisaron).

Before the Machsom we never reveal a lack in the Creator. He cannot reveal it at a time when the created being is in concealment. As it is said, a person must believe that his yearning for the Creator stems from the initial yearning of the Creator toward him and is given to him by Him. One must simply believe that “the Creator is your shadow.”

However, we do not possess this sensation until we are truly ready to do something: First you acquire vessels of bestowal, and then you reveal in Him a lack. More precisely, He reveals His lack to you corresponding to the extent to which you are able to bestow to Him.
