...so that instead of each light shining separately by itself, they are all directed to one single place. It has already been instituted as a law that all the influences come through Malchut. Accordingly, when Malchut is aroused, this connection is aroused as a matter of course. Now the mystery of Malchut is that of the Assembly of Israel (כנסת ישראל, Knesset Yisrael), i.e. everything goes only to this one place, and she arouses the actual love of the Supreme Mind in every aspect, for the higher powers are directed to her alone.

Accordingly, as soon as she is ready to receive, all the lights – because of the love between the Holy One, blessed be He, and the Assembly of Israel – become aroused and directed continually towards her, which automatically creates a bond of connection and mutual excitement between them. It is like a man who has tremendous love for his son or his wife, and all his thoughts are only to benefit them. When they approach him, his soul takes fire with all its powers and he gives his son or wife his exclusive attention.
