I lack a love for this world, and that causes me great imperfection in spirituality, in learning Torah and in engaging in mitzvot “not for its own sake”—so that “out of its being not ‘for its own sake’ eventually it comes to be ‘for its own sake.’”
And I need guidance as to how to deal with these paths—which, although they are in themselves descents, yet are nevertheless necessary for ascent.
Chadarav, pp. 149-150
