HOCHMA: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 4th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
ON EXAMINING ONE`S DESIRE AND INTENTION
We should know that there is a virtue to love
of friends: one cannot deceive himself and say
that he loves the friends if in fact he doesn’t
love them. Here he can examine whether he
truly has love of friends or not. But with love
of the Creator, one cannot examine oneself, if
his intention is the love of the Creator, meaning
that he wants to bestow upon the Creator,
or his desire is to receive in order to receive.

יז וְיָרַדְתִּי, וְדִבַּרְתִּי עִמְּךָ שָׁם, וְאָצַלְתִּי מִן-הָרוּחַ אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיךָ, וְשַׂמְתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם; וְנָשְׂאוּ אִתְּךָ בְּמַשָּׂא הָעָם, וְלֹא-תִשָּׂא אַתָּה לְבַדֶּךָ.
17 And I will come down and speak with thee there; and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
