Question: How is giving a bribe to the Sitra Achra different from the conditions when a person stands before the Creator in order to learn?
Answer: If I feel that I am standing before the Creator, I make very clear calculations: for myself or for the Creator.
In this way, I determine how much I can keep for myself and how much I should give. By clarifying what can be given for the sake of the Creator, I make a restriction on everything else.
I figure out how to divide the pleasure from my action. Therefore, everything here is based only on the correct calculations that come only with experience.
We must learn to work with the Sitra Achra because it will accompany us until the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).
