Question: Is restriction the most important thing?

Answer: No, restriction is not the most important thing. The point is that a person fears an empty Kli. Therefore, they are willing to work and give up various things if they sense that their Kli might remain unfilled.

And for the sake of this empty Kli, regardless of whether it is for the sake of receiving or for the sake of bestowal, and whether it relates to the past, present, or future, they are willing to work as long as they do not feel emptiness.

There are people who are afraid of poverty: “What will I have tomorrow? What will I have in ten years?” A person thinks, “I must provide for myself and leave a little for my children.” This is generally what concerns him. He is afraid.

Let us say that he has already planned what he needs and what his children need, made his calculations, and decided that he needs savings of one million dollars. He already perceives this Kli, the one million dollars, and a fear arises within him that this Kli might remain unfilled.

Then he begins to work on his sensation of the empty Kli that he has constructed within himself.
