Mrc,
It depends if you feel this way because you are yearning to bestow and to be in adhesion with the Creator, and you understand that for this you need to connect and love your friends, but you are incapable.
And so this inner gap begins to grow between your state and the spiritual state you aspire to. In this case, a person’s suffering brings one closer to the purpose of creation.
But if a person feels bad because he is not getting some corporeal fulfillment, then it can’t be considered as something beneficial to his spiritual development. For sure there is no superfluous states or emotions, but it is still considered, in this form, at the very beginning of the way.
Regardless, it is written that one should serve the Lord with gladness. This means a person should always try to perform actions in a state of joy. And if one does not feel joy, then he should arrange his environment in order to bring him joy. But the joy should be from having a purpose, and a method to achieve that purpose.
Mrc,
Kabbalists do speak of the prayer and reaching a true outcry. If a person prays from the bottom of the heart, and if his prayer is correctly formated, meaning he is not asking for himself, but he wants to benefit others, then a person receives a response.
Here, we’re not talking about regular tears. A person can cry night and day, but if he will not correct himself, through the reforming light, and learn how to pray, then it is still considered the work in preparation for the prayer.
Mrc,
The action of dissemination has two branches. One method is the teaching of the wisdom of Kabbalah. Another method is the wisdom of connection which speaks of the same things; however, in a language that is more easily relateable to the average person. It is not recommended for people to engage in dissemination until after they have acquired sufficient knowledge equivalent to undergoing a couple of months of education through our KabU platform.
Mrc,
The Creator only ever gives a person pleasure. Depending on the development of that person, and to what extent they can acquire the intention to bestow, then a person feels the influence of the Creator as good or bad. Any suffering that a person reveals is in order to correct oneself and come closer to being able to perform actions of bestowal. The closer I come to spirituality the more I realize that everything that happens in my life is for my own good.
Mrc,
There is no direct perceivable correlation between person’s good actions and the reward or the good results that comes from those actions. This is done intentionally in order to give room for freedom of choice.
If we would clearly see that all of our good actions bring good results and that our bad actions bring bad results, then we would cling to the goal for egoistic reasons.
Spirituality is about inverting my nature to be in order to bestow, meaning to be outside of myself in favor of the Creator and the friends.
In the future it will be revealed how much a person gained from their efforts.
Mrc,
Katnut means that I do not need anything for myself. Rather, I am content with the ability to carry out the work, to perform spiritual actions–actions of bestowal.
Then, one is given a state of Gadlut, which is only in order to strengthen his decision in katnut to not work for himself. In a state of Gadlut, a person receives additional forces for the work and is able to perform every action with gladness. But this is only an addition, and the primary form of work must be in Katnut.
