Question: What are we supposed to do as we feel troubles and suffering?
The way you feel the troubles, try to understand and realize that you are actually revealing your vessel and if you correct it, you reach adhesion with the Creator.
Question: Can’t we grow the desire without suffering?
This was Abraham's question. What was the Creator's answer? Don't worry! You'll be in exile. You'll suffer. "And they shall be tortured and then they will come out with great property." What is that great property after the suffering of Egypt? That I know that I'm opposite to the Creator. I don't just feel bad in my desire. I actually transcend that bad feeling and I'm saying: I want that feeling to remain. I don't want to run away from it. I don't want this feeling to be blocked with something false. I want it to stay until I correct it. What does it mean to correct it? Until I build the Masach and Ohr Hozer above it (screen and returning Light) and I become similar to you. I need that bad feeling and then that bad feeling turns into Light, because I use it to achieve revelation.
