How can you practically work with intention when you receive corporeal pleasure?
It does not matter whether I receive spiritual or corporeal pleasure, I must thank the Creator for it. Any pleasure can be clothed in the intention for the sake of bestowal. To do this, you need to analyze the pleasure received and surround it with your attitude toward the Creator and want to thank Him for the pleasure given to you.
I understand that pleasure comes from the Creator and I want to accept it with blessing, in reflected light, that is, in my response to the Creator. And I feel how this brings me closer to the Creator. It is as if the Creator takes a step toward me, gives me pleasure, and I, respond to Him with my grateful attitude, also take a step toward Him, and we become closer to each other. This means that I can now receive pleasure in the Kelim of bestowal.
The Creator dresses in corporeal clothes, because only in such low clothes are we still able to feel the pleasure given to us. The Creator is present in everything we enjoy: in a piece of bread, in sweet sugar, in a sip of water, in pleasant smells and sounds. The Creator clothes in all this and that is why we notice different changes.
When we unite and receive pleasure, we can bring contentment to the Creator. After all, it is He who, every moment and in every state, brings His light into every form of pleasure, unity, and mutual bestowal.
