– PRAYER OF GRATITUDE ON NEW MOON

CONCERNING THE VITALITY OF KEDUSHA

At that time this luminescence falls into the hands of the
Sitra Achra (The Evil Inclination). This continues several times, meaning that one
extends, and then it departs from him.
Hence, the illuminations increase in the sea of the Sitra
Achra, until the cup is full. This means that after one finds the
full measure of the effort that one can find, the Sitra Achra gives
him back everything she had taken into her own authority. This
is the meaning of “He hath swallowed down riches, and he
shall vomit them up again.” It follows that all that the Sitra
Achra had taken into her own authority was only as a deposit,
meaning as long as she had command over man.
