A person striving for spirituality sees to what extent they are opposite to the Creator, and that they have no possibility to change themselves on their own to acquire the opposite form. Only help from above can bring about this transformation.

And then, from these painful reflections, he turns to the Creator. Afterward, one understands that this opposite form and the true form that he must receive if the Creator helps him, were revealed in him intentionally so that he could feel them in himself. This is not simply so that he would feel bad in one and good in the other and would feel these states as good and evil, but so that as a result of this clarification, he would want to adhere to the Creator Himself.

Both of these forms, which seem so opposite to a person and are perceived in this way by his senses, are in fact only a means to merge with the Creator.

The truth lies above these two forms. In contrast to the status of the Creator, who exists above these qualities, if a person casts aside his attitude toward his own state either because of frivolity or due to the heaviness of thoughts, then he as if disappears from spirituality altogether.

There is no intermediate state between frivolity and seriousness. This is the state of an ordinary person from the street who in no way correlates his qualities with the qualities of the Creator. In spirituality, this concept does not exist.

From here, the conclusion is that our most important work is to come to a prayer, which is called work in the heart. But it is carried out precisely with seriousness, because seriousness is not that I see my qualities as the opposite of the Creator and wish to correct them, but a level above that. Because I see it this way, understand it, and strive to correct my qualities, I submit to the Creator and accept His advice to go and correct them by faith above reason.
