In the material world, when two forces begin to operate within a person, the desire to bestow (that arises from the “point in the heart” and is only the beginning and not yet the actual desire to bestow) and the desire to receive literally bring a person to the point of explosion.

However, strictly speaking, on the spiritual levels, there is no such thing as a desire to bestow! We us this term to refer to either a corrected desire to receive or the incoming light, the light of the Creator, whose inherent property is a desire to bestow.

If, however, we speak of a desire to bestow within the created being, this is either the desire to receive corrected to bestowal for the sake of bestowal or even to reception for the sake of bestowal, or we are speaking about the light that appears within the Kli and brings it correction. In that case, this light, this force, that the vessel receives, is called the desire to bestow.

We become confused due to the laconic language. It is essential to understand what Baal HaSulam means when he speaks of two forces in a person called the Kelim of reception and the Kelim of bestowal.

The concept of Kelim of bestowal is quite peculiar. A Kli is defined as a Hisaron (a need, a lack, an unfulfilled desire).

Desire is called a place. We are beginning to understand that the Kelim of bestowal are egoistic Kelim that have received correction for the sake of bestowal, and that they fill themselves only with what they bestow. How? By filling themselves. If they do not fill themselves, they will not be able to bestow.

Therefore, the use of a place, the vessel for the sake of bestowal is called Kelim of bestowal. Only then we are speaking about the created being.
