841. Coerced
“Will offer [also “bring closer”] him to His will.” RASHI interpreted, “It teaches that he is coerced until he says, ‘I want.’”
Baal HaSulam said about the words, “The Lord is your shade,” that according to the acts of people, so happens above, at the root of one’s soul. Hence, it follows that if one coerces himself below, he also causes coercion above, until the Creator says, “I want,” and accepts your work.
