This is because he is wearing sackcloth and cannot enter the King\u2019s palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, it is necessary for one to see one\u2019s true state, as it is, without covering. On the contrary, the whole purpose of the&nbsp;<em>Klipot<\/em>&nbsp;[shells\/peels] is to cover, but if one has been rewarded from above, he can discover and see his true state. However, he must know that this is not wholeness but necessity. And a time of bitterness is called&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;[the Hebrew letter]. When it is added by a&nbsp;<em>Sack<\/em>&nbsp;[the Hebrew and English words are the same here], they form&nbsp;<em>Shakad<\/em>&nbsp;[was diligent], which rushes salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, when one makes the bitterness in the work by himself, that is, when one can make the self-scrutiny, he is glad that at least he sees the truth. This is considered making this the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;[head], that is, important. This is called&nbsp;<em>Reish<\/em>[the Hebrew letter], and joined with the&nbsp;<em>Sack<\/em>&nbsp;it creates&nbsp;<em>Sheker<\/em>&nbsp;[lie]. However, this work should be as the blink of an eye, and he should immediately strengthen himself with complete faith that everything will be corrected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I heard \u201cNone might come to the king\u2019s gate wearing sackcloth.\u201d This means that when one awakens oneself to how [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6231,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[25],"class_list":["post-13191","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-baal-hasulam"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 223.
