Question: Everything is arranged in such a way that opposite holiness there is a Klipa, and therefore one has to constantly enter the Klipa and be under its control. Does this mean that a person must constantly remain in a state of tension? And if he is tense, where is the pleasure?

Answer: I do not understand your question, because a person can experience both tension and pleasure at the same time. There are people who go skydiving or engage in numerous activities to raise their adrenaline levels, and they pay considerable amounts of money to enter a state of tension just so they do not feel lifeless. They derive pleasure precisely from being in an excited state, in a state of struggle, combat, and tension.

Perhaps you mean that the Creator is in a state of constant rest, and apparently this is the greatest pleasure, so you want that too.

But the Creator’s state of rest means that all the Kelim, all the desires are corrected. Within all the Kelim, desires, and thoughts, one can perform the work with 100% efficiency, at the highest possible speed, when nothing else interferes. It is precisely the absence of anything that interferes that is called rest—rest from disturbances, interfering thoughts, and uncorrected Kelim.

This is not the kind of rest in which nothing is done. Inactivity is called death, not rest.
