Good question, Sheila (sorry I missed this). Simple answer: with Lishma, the Intention precedes the act. Now, explore this and you’ll come to see the problem.
Hi Zorica,
It’s in line, if you’re attracted to it, since it was written by holy Kabbalists, though it’s not explored much in our writings. As you know, it’s not that each excerpt from the ancient sources – such as the Siddur, the Talmud, and so on – finds commentary in Kabbalistic sources. Why? Firstly, those should be taken as-is, even though there are deeper interpretations we discover on the way. The Kabbalists wrote them that way, in that language, even though they could have written them in Kabbalistic language. The second reason is that their Kabbalistic interpretations may not relate to our zone of proximal development, even if they seem interesting to us. But we can still read them in a more literal way. The passages that Baal HaSulam and Rabash do want to put in front of us, they interpret, sometimes expansively, in their writings.
This post is somewhat related though:

Hi AspiringAltruist,
It’s enough to think of lust as great yearning. It’s just that it’s tempered by the correct form of the other two. Yet it’s still yearning.
It’s true that the definitions are different. But what’s really unique is that opposites come together all at once.
His weakness is that He created a creation that has to help itself by asking Him for help and He can’t do a thing if we don’t turn to him. And we can turn to Him except out of a need for connection between us. So you see what a problem He has.
That’s because they depend on an awakening from the Creator that we have and they don’t. That, we can’t give them. Only if someone has the awakening and asks me to remind and renew it in them, I can help.
As for my awakening, I can renew it by returning to connection over each obstacle I’m sent, seeing each as unique and special, a chance to raise the broken sparks of connection out of specifically that state.
Hi Greg,
Nice and balanced is the way to go. On the one hand, realizing the root of your soul in the Plan of Creation is all there is to do in this world. On the other hand, you have to realize it through this world specifically, along with the corporeal conditions the Creator gave. Therefore, it’s as much as you can do in your free time, after you take care of work and family. You’ll see later that that’s enough, and that’s plenty. There are millions of free moments that a person doesn’t know he has yet – and there’s the place of work, what is up to You to conquer. In the meantime, I’d bathe in our materials whenever possible, and the Reforming Light will do its thing.
