KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה :

– PRAYER OF CONSESSION ON FULL MOON

Thus, it follows that precisely when one has both forms can
he discern the distance between one and the other, “as far as
Light excelleth darkness.” Only then can one assess and regard
the matter of adhesion, by which the delight and pleasure in the
Thought of Creation can be acquired, being “His desire to do
good to His creations.” Everything that appears to our eyes is but
what the Creator wants us to attain the way we do, since they are
ways by which to achieve the complete goal.
Yet, it is not so simple to acquire adhesion with the
Creator. It requires great effort and exertion to acquire the
sensation and feeling of delight and pleasure. Before that, one
must justify Providence, believe above reason that the Creator
behaves in goodness

with the creatures, and say, “They have
eyes and see not.”

-Baal HaSulam, Shamati, page 101
