“‘[One] who does not know how to be careful.’ It did not say “to warn,” but “to be careful” (The Zohar, VaYeshev). A person wants to admonish others, for everyone wants others to work with vessels of bestowal, for if all the friends work in bestowal, they will bestow upon him everything he needs. However, to admonish himself, that he will be a bestower, in that case his will to receive would lose. But when the Kelim [vessels] of others work in bestowal, his will to receive gains. Therefore, each one wants the other to be pure.
