Prayer, crying out and repentance from the depth of the heart, and the revelation [of that repentance] in actuality through rectified deeds, must precede the appearance of the light of supernal attainment.

            Only by means of the revelation of the light of repentance, which is something that renews the face of the entire world, can any truly significant literature come into being and appear in the light of life within this world.
            Shmoneh Kevatzim 1:719

            Every individual should visualize, in truth and simply, what his soul is showing him.
            He should bring forth his spiritual harvest from potential to actual, without any false expressions.
            From such sparks, torches of light gather and illuminate the entire world with their glory.
            From such portions of inner truth, the great truth emerges.
                Orot Hakodesh I, p. 166

                    Supernal holiness is filled with love, kindness and patience, out of its great splendor.
            Hatred, judgment and criticism are consequences of forgetting Hashem, and a suppression of the light of holiness.

            The stronger the search for Hashem grows in a person’s heart, the broader the love for all creatures within him. Then he loves even wicked people and heretics and desires their rectification, because he in actuality rectifies them with the greatness of his faith.
            However, in a manifest way a person can only show love to those people in whom he finds something good as well, so that he is able to bind his love to their good side and so that he will not at all be harmed by the evil and ugly aspect of those people, whom he loves due to his good trait of loving others--which means that he is good and does good to both the wicked and the good.
