Naturally, we cannot say that the will to receive in order to receive will be corrected because it has no contact with\u00a0<em>Kedusha<\/em>, so how can one correct that which he does not have?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>In the&nbsp;<em>Sitra<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Achra<\/em>, there is the will to receive in order to receive. However, how can it be corrected, since light of&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;cannot reach there because the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;[vessels] drew away from the abundance and are regarded as a space that is vacant of the light of abundance. Thus, how can there be correction, since correcting these&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;requires light and abundance, for the lights correct the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>, and here, where they have no light, who will correct them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, man was created so that until he is thirteen, he acquires vessels of reception that work in order to receive.

After thirteen years, when he begins to work with the point in the heart, and observes Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;[commandments] with the aim to bestow, he is rewarded with some degree of&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>.
