What Is Hidden From A Kabbalist?

Question: What is hidden from a Kabbalist?

Answer: The absoluteness of the Creator is hidden from the Kabbalist, and although it reveals itself gradually, each time the uncorrected qualities are manifested in a person, the concealment of the Creator is revealed against them. This is the problem.

Question: So ordinary people must first believe in the Creator and then reveal Him? And since a Kabbalist has already revealed Him, he does not have a problem believing?

Answer: No. The problem is that the Creator is revealed to the extent that you can create a concealment over Him. You attain not Him, not the “hidden,” but your own concealment, your screen.

Let’s say, there is some kind of bas-relief. I do not see it because it is covered with linen. But I touch this linen and I study the bas-relief in this way. This is called revelation.

That is, I actually reveal my own qualities that are similar to the Creator.

Question: So, it turns out that we never reveal the Creator?

Answer: Never. Only our qualities.

Question: Does it mean that the fact that I bestow to everyone and love everyone is hidden from me?

Answer: Yes. Absolutely all the people in the world do what the Creator commands them to do. From this point of view, they can be called the workers of the Creator.
