Chadarav--His Chambers
The Land of Israel
Tranquility Of The Spirit
From tranquility of the spirit and from inner work, in whatever form, nothing can interfere. Even though I have been ejected from the Holy Land and I am immersed in the land of the nations, until Hashem bestows compassion upon me from the source of compassion, to bring me back to the holy land with His great. Every place is dedicated to His name, a pure gift-offering, with strength and might.
The Spirit Of The Land Of Israel
Thank God, the spirit of the land of Israel accompanies me even in my exile.
God's Love Has Not Abandoned Me
Even though I wander in the exile, even though I am struck by many pains, spiritual and physical, nevertheless God's love has not abandoned me. I must raise myself to the greatness of the supernal Freedom, which truly was with me in the Holy Land. And may the Rock of our salvation satiate me with blessing from the dew of the land of life, and strengthen me and support me throughout this oppressive exile of mine, until he saves me when He saves His people, and rings me back to His holy land, to stand before Him with whole-hearted service, with a whole heart, in humility, with awe, with might, with love, and may He straighten His path before me, to save me from the ravages of man, to rectify all of the flaws, to bring me back from being an outcast.
Broadening The Power Of Knowledge
When a person's consciousness of the divine is small, then the image that he has of divinity is also small.
And since it is the divine presence that makes clear to a person his infinite smallness, if his fear of heaven lacks proper awareness, then he becomes an abject scoundrel, to an extent beyond comprehension.
So how can a person attain an estimation of the divine greatness in such a way that the essential form of the glory of his spirit will not be degraded but will broaden?
That comes as a result of broadening the power of his knowledge. It comes as a result of freeing his imagination and giving free flight to his thought. It comes as a result of the knowledge of the world and life. It comes as a result of the wealth of feeling in all creation.
To this end, a person must indeed engage in all of the areas of wisdom in the world, in all teachings of life, in all the paths of the various cultures and forms of ethics and religion of every nation and tongue.
And with the greatness of the spirit, he will know how to purify them all.
Clearly, the entire foundation of his knowledge as a Jew will be built on the foundation of the Torah in its most complete breadth. He will always strive to be sure that his way will not be constricted, that his perspectives will not be suppressed and fragmented-rather, they will proceed with breadth and on a sure road.
He should not subject himself to a multiplicity of fears, which prevent his mind from its work and his spiritual powers from exercising their influence.
Instead, he should be strong. He should know the power, the good and the evil, and the supernal originality from which everything flows in a structured form, and which is in the process of gaining wholeness even as he gains his own wholeness.
Then, corresponding to the greatness of his soul, the divine light will shine upon him and his spirit will be great, and the divine supernal humility, which increases all of a person's abilities, will fill his entire inner being. A heavenly might will strengthen him constantly, and he will do great secret things for himself and for the entire world.
The Clarity Of The Land Of Israel
My heart yearns for the clarity of the land of Israel,
For the faith of the land of Israel,
For the holiness of the land of Israel.
Where can I find the joy of the land of Israel,
The inner calm of the land of Israel,
The closeness to the Divine of the land of Israel,
The truth of the land of Israel,
The might and power of the land of Israel,
The trust of the land of Israel?
Have mercy, Hashem, have compassion.
Compassionate and gracious God,
Be merciful
Make it possible for me to come back to you totally.
Bring me back to Your beautiful land.
Make it possible for me to see the joy of Your people,
To rejoice with Your heirs.
Have compassion, have compassion,
Compassionate Father.
Have mercy, liberate, liberating God.
