KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה : 🌱

– PRAYER OF CONCESSION ON FULL MOON

CONCERNING THE VITALITY OF KEDUSHA

Yet, we must also know that if one could sustain any
luminescence, even a small one, but if it were permanent, one
would already be considered whole. In other words, one would
have been able to advance with this illumination. Hence, if one
loses the luminescence, one should regret it.
This is similar to a person who placed a seed in the ground
so that a big tree would grow from it, but took the seed out
of the ground right away. Thus, what is the benefit in the work
of putting the seed in the ground?
Moreover, we can say that he not only took out the seed
from the ground and corrupted it, we can say that he dug out a
tree with ripe fruits out of the ground and corrupted them.
It is the same here: if one had not lost this tiny luminescence,
a great Light would have grown out of it. It follows that it is not
necessarily that he had lost the power of a small luminescence,
but it is as though a great Light indeed had been lost from him.
