The essence of Creation is the desire. The evil inclination is this desire when it’s aimed at receiving in order to receive. Which is darkness. And specifically from darkness we can know Light.
The ten comes to Lishma together but not each one at the same time. One could be in spirituality, another on the way – each according to their exertion and the root of their soul. But in any case, the work is toward the advancement of the ten as a whole, regardless of their individual levels.
There are those who have attained spirituality, however we need always be most interested in the general Kli because on it we all depend. Even if you’re already beyond the degrees before the spiritual degrees, you still depend on even the advancement of the least advanced friend. So, there’s no need to speculate on who is or isn’t advanced – if they’re in spirituality they’ll know well how to hide that – and all are working to advance everyone in a together-way, like in one boat.
A more advanced/correct answer I heard from Dr. Laitman during the morning lesson – if you like, Naom
Take on the responsibility, that although you can’t awaken the whole group, you take what those who are awakened want to do, and try to implement it. This is called “labor.” [Advancement] is measured in units of effort. (Envy [of other tens] is [also] good, but it must be a good envy, which helps you grow.)
I don’t need to waste my time on what truly feels like a waste, except for necessities like family, eating, etc. The real correction though is in elevating the importance of the spiritual goal higher than all other goals rather than shutting down other pleasures. This way, the entire path is joyous, and everything falls into place.
