HOCHMA: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 17th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of The Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The prayer of Eighteen’) Sefirot.
DESIRE AND THOUGHT
A thought is an upshot of the desire. A person
thinks of what he wants, and does not think
of what he does not want. For example, a person
never thinks of his dying day. On the contrary,
he will always contemplate his eternity,
since this is what he wants. Thus, one always
thinks of what is desirable for him.
However, there is a special role to the
thought: it intensifies the desire. The desire
remains in its place; it does not have the
strength to expand and perform its action.
Yet, because one thinks and contemplates on
a matter, and the desire asks of the thought
to provide some counsel and advice to carry
out the desire, the desire thus grows, expands
and performs its actual work. It turns
out that the thought serves the desire, and
the desire is the “self” of the person. Now,
there is a great self or a small self. A great self
dominates the small selves.
He who is a small self and has no dominion
whatsoever, the advice to magnify the self
is through the persisting with the thought of
the desire, since the thought grows to the extent
that one thinks of it.
And so, “in His law doth he meditate day
and night,” for by persisting in it, it grows into
a great self until it becomes the actual ruler.
