Spiritual Birth

From A Sage’s Fruit, Essays, "The Secret of Conception and Birth," by Baal HaSulam

Just as there are births from bodies,
There is birth by renewal of the spiritual force,
When we reach the world of correction.

Similar to a physical embryo,
Born from its mother's womb,
We come from a dark
And corrupt world,
Unclean and unpleasant,
Into a bright and perfect world:
The world of correction.

In corporeality,
The newborn
Slides into the loving arms
Of caring parents,
Who ensure its existence and well-being.
Similarly, once each of us
Is given 600,000 who
Care for our existence,
We all breathe the breath of life
As one man in one heart.
