SATURDAY PRAYER: HOCHMA-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
READING: DAWN SATURDAY
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The MUSAF מוּסָף FOR SHABBAT: of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
“SEEING ONE`S SELF”
We should understand what our sages said,
“One does not find himself in debt” (Shabbat,
119). Accordingly, one cannot correct his
actions, for he will never see that his actions
are corrupt and require correction. Thus, one
must always remain corrupt.
The thing is that it is known that man
was created with a nature of wanting only to
delight himself. Therefore, in everything he
learns, he wishes to learn how he can enjoy.
Thus, if a person wishes to enjoy, he will naturally
avoid learning other things than what
his heart desires, for this is his nature.
For this reason, one who wishes to draw
near to the Creator and to learn things that
show ways by which to bestow upon the Creator,
must pray to the Creator to give him a
different heart, as it is written, “Create for
me a pure heart, O God.” This means that
when he has another heart, when the desire
in the heart is a desire to bestow, then in
everything he learns, he will naturally see
ways that show only how to bestow upon
the Creator.
However, he will never see against the
heart. It is said about that, “And I will remove
the stony heart from within you, and I will
give you a heart of flesh.
