...but rather, they drive them away. This is a flaw in the lower seven, and this is the darkness mentioned above, which develops in the seven lower Sefirot when the flow of blessing is lacking.

Accordingly, the three first Sefirot endured. For since destruction is not applicable in their case, it was therefore unnecessary for any breakage to occur in them, for the only purpose of the breaking of the vessels was to make a place for destruction, and here destruction is of no relevance.

Part 2: Nevertheless, even in their case, what exists in them to serve the needs of the lower seven was not repaired... For each thing has its own repairs and arrangements to ensure that they function properly. Thus the spread of influence from the upper three Sefirot to the lower seven requires arrangements to enable it to emerge in the proper way, neither less nor more than necessary. This is the aspect that was not repaired in the upper three Sefirot.
