The light of\u00a0Atzilut<\/em>\u00a0is sublime and pure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It oversees the Hod<\/em> of Beria<\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nourished by His brightness, firmly made<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His vineyard He has given to the guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sits me and raises me with His Hod<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As do all who grasp the meaning of Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I heard Him and saw Him glorified,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taste and see for my future I hasten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurray! Who gives me a friend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows the meaning of all things,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are His witnesses, and happy are they.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all that their eyes sought,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concealed and above any mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, I saw the fountain of every wisdom,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please, He who teaches man understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wisdom and knowledge are given to You!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My faults are many, but more than they is my affront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will they pardon my iniquity, comfort me from my grief?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one who found gumption found faith<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That delights him in his labor, and who like Him answers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In His hand is all of my futures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pities me and rushes me in order to redeem me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my generation remembers what is in the hearts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And between Him and me are words of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will consider by my years and my spirit did not blemish,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He rejuvenates me like an eagle and the wisdom is revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His own mercies, from within, from without, and from all around me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the clouds of my darkness, the time of concealment of my sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heaven will not sustain Him and in my stomach He desires,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His delight is wedged in my heart like lava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have tasted the life of truth, from the hall that is built inside,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I uttered His might, and my belly fills with secrets,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is glorified with Hassadim<\/em> and Gevurot<\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And guards the Yesod<\/em> of Yetzira<\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a crown upon him He hovers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By breakings, he is cleansed from the excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will show me wonders from His law<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my eyes shall behold from all His the majesty of His kingdom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here am I, and all that is good in me shall stand together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, test me, choose for Yourself one<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the favored ones, desirable men<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who have touched His secret and have yielded results,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That His Almightiness fills their palms,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all that comes into their hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where there is wisdom, there is He,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And before I understood, I found Him and studied Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To You is the glory, pardon me and say a word,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That You are the operator of every operation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lent to both men and angels,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so understood that there is none else besides Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his finger, he shows God that which he wants,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the iniquity of love and under the affront of pride,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Him are all my joy and all my grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, I have been love sick,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the light, my desire awaits in the corner,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Redeemer lives, He counts the drops of my sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He hid me, and do not know how and with what,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dust is more lush than is milk, and my sheaf has risen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let my falls be my time to attain my precious things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will always enlighten them, were they the passion of my hills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And from all His sides and angles, enjoyment and affection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ignites by itself and its flame will not quench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not labor in Him, and all was built so as to establish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a shadow, I was pulled into the room, and the kingdom is established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I established Him in my poverty on the 8th<\/sup> of Heshvan<\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tav<\/em>–Reish<\/em>–Peh<\/em>–Tet<\/em> [October 22, 1928], Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
