Importance of the goal, and the fact that he actively processes all that happens to him in relation to the goal of Creation.
The song is בהיותך קרוב. I don’t have the Hebrew lyrics. But here’s a link to the song: https://soundcloud.com/kabbalah-laam-music/lamdenu?in=user-305498523%2Fsets%2Fdecena-de-turno
And these are the English lyrics:
We stand before you, we are holding hands
G
On this very day
Em          C
A picture perfect state
G
Of our yielding clay
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â D
Empty of deeds, our hands are bare
D Â Â G
Our hearts are dust and ashes
C Â Â Â Â Â D
There is nowhere left to turn
D Â Â Â Â Â Â G
We see the broken pieces
Chorus 2x
G C
And today we call upon your wisdom
C Â Â Â Â Â G
Though you are always near
Em       C
Today we call upon your grace
C Â Â Â Â G
Teach us how to give
But it can’t be understood simply without doing it. All that is needed is to elevate the Point in the Heart higher than everything else. That is, until this tiny spark becomes a flame that rises by itself. This is by elevating the importance in a group, where this heater reflects back on you to the extent you heat it up.
Because there’s no Creator, no Upper World. We have to build it. And even then, it’s only revealed in your properties, when they’re brought into Equivalence with the Creator.
The Mitzvot are like recipes, very specific internal actions. But until all that is revealed, it’s more than enough to work toward love of friends with the expectation for the Light to work. Imagine your sweet toddler tries to do something nice for you from the bottom of her heart, because she loves her mommy. Does it matter exactly how and what she did? Try doing everything for the friends and Creator, with the expectation in the heart for the Light to help, and see what response you get.
No, the Creator relates to the innovation, which is the Will to Receive – meaning He has no essence to speak of that is detached from His Creation, being the Will to Receive. As “There is no Light without a Kli,” any discussion of the Creator detached from His Creation is considered out of bounds, as all the wisdom of Kabbalah is written by Created Beings, Kabbalists, who, although they attained high degrees of Equivalence with Him, nevertheless attained it from their Kli (vessel) reaching Equivalence with Him. He is called “Come and See” [Bo u Ray, Creator], meaning come with your corrected Kli and inside it reveal Him through being Equivalent with Him in your properties. This is the Creator Baal HaSulam writes about.
