Upper Realm as the scientists of our world. This will only happen because
of your effort.
Quite the contrary, everything will work out from the state of confusion,
disillusion, detachment, and weariness. When spirituality seems
insignificant and unreal, it means that you are in the most correct state
with regard to the Creator. If, while being in these states, you continue
aspiring to the Upper World, the necessary spiritual Kelim (spiritual
mind) will be formed in you.
Man rises to the level where so much light descends upon him that he
can already transform his desires into spiritual, altruistic.
As soon as man purifies the desire to receive, he becomes worthy and
ready to obtain the five parts of the soul that are called the NaRaN-
HaY. They are in the desire to bestow and cannot be clothed into the
body until the desire to receive has a power in him.
The soul has two components: one is the Kli that consists of five
parts: Keter, Hochma, Bina, ZA and Malchut. It is alternatively called the
body of the soul, or the Partzuf. Inside it there is the light called the
NaRaNHaY (Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, and Yechida).
As soon as the egoistical intentions become altruistic, desires begin
to fill with the Upper Light to the extent of the Ohr Hassadim (or the Reflected
light, or the screen – the definition is of no consequence). Keter,
Hochma, Bina, ZA, and Malchut are the five Kelim that are filled with the
five lights of the NaRaNHaY.
However, when man is honored to become entirely a desire to bestow
without receiving anything for one's self, he earns the same properties
that he has in his upper NaRaNHaY (descending from its source
in the world of Infinity from state one through the pure worlds of
ABYA). These properties descend upon him immediately and clothe
in him in accordance with the level.
