At present, we are in a state where development begins from a point that is simply a desire to receive. What is this Partzuf that begins from a point? It is the degree of the intention for the sake of bestowal.

The question is: What is desire and what is intention? In spirituality, it is not the desire that is taken into account, but only the intention for the sake of bestowal. The magnitude of a Partzuf is the height of its intention, and according to the degree of that intention, it already receives for the sake of bestowal.

Therefore, in our domain, below the Machsom, “there is no judgment and there is no judge”; everyone does what pleases them. Indeed, there are neither commandments nor transgressions here, because all commandments and transgressions exist only in the intention. “For the sake of receiving” is called a transgression, and “for the sake of bestowal” is called a commandment.

We are still below, in what is called the imaginary world, beneath the line of life and the line of death. Above the Machsom, when the soul is immersed in the Klipot, this is called the line of death, the state of death; and when it is immersed in the right line, this is called the line of life. But we are below all of that.

From this, we must understand that intention, direction, connection, and a passionate yearning for the Creator are, in essence, the measure of a person in spirituality.

What is meant is not the desire itself, but the degree of one’s orientation toward the Creator, the extent to which a person’s heart passionately strives for and longs for the Creator. One’s spiritual state is measured accordingly.
