MONDAY PRAYER: HOCHMA-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

READING: DAWN MONDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 1rst Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

DRAWING THE LIGHT IN THE TORAH

It is easier to draw the light in the Torah
while practicing and laboring in the wisdom
of truth than in laboring in the literal Torah.
The reason is very simple: the wisdom of
the revealed is clothed in external, corporeal
clothes, such as stealing, plundering, torts,
etc. For this reason, it is difficult and heavy
for any person to aim his mind and heart to
the Creator while studying, so as to draw the
Light in the Torah.
It is even more so for a person for whom
the study in the Talmud itself is heavy and
arduous. How can he remember the Creator
during the study, since the scrutiny concerns
corporeal matters, and cannot come in him
simultaneously with the intention for the
Creator?
Therefore, he advises him to practice
the wisdom of Kabbalah, as this wisdom is
entirely clothed in the names of the Creator.
Then he will certainly be able to easily aim
his mind and heart to the Creator during the
study, even if he is the slowest learner. This is
so because the study of the issues of the wisdom
and the Creator are one and the same.

-Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Item 22 , Gem of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.
