There is a true prayer from any state. We have to search for it. What can I ask for, from my ten, now? And then we have to turn to the Creator.
The right and true prayer isn’t natural, like one doesn’t long for a sixth finger. We have a kind of natural prayer in us always, since we’re a Will to Receive, but that doesn’t elicit spiritual results.
Nor is it natural to turn to the Creator, even when there’s something we want.
Therefore, we need to search for the correct deficiencies, which come from the others, and then turn to Him, for them.
Well, you know that I look down upon the Zohar from degree 125, so I can tell you…
No, but I look up at Baal HaSulam who writes in the Preface to the Book of Zohar where he writes that the Zohar relates to the world of BYA. If there are other books that relate to the worlds as they are in the abstract, so that they talk about the world of Atzilut in and of itself, the Book of Zohar only relates to the world of Atzilut insofar as the world of BYA clothe the world of Atzilut. That’s why it’s written precisely for us – because all the corrections are in the worlds rolling up like a carpet, clothing upon the world of Atzilut, and then our world disappears, since it’s no longer of use. So, the Zohar is really the book of the Final Correction.
In the Rosh, they calculate the max bestowal possible, and receive accordingly. It’s not that it’s a mistake, but the Light inside the Guf carries with it the attitude of the Creator to this reception, that while you calculated max bestowal and have bestowed, still the Light wishes to bestow more. Essentially, the situation illuminates the imperfection of the action taken by the Partzuf, though they aimed to bestow and bestowed. It’s imperfect because, nevertheless, there’s a smorgasbord of delights prepared, and we need to deny the offer. Say I come to visit you and Sagar, you prepare for me an amazing meal, and I take just a piece of bread from it. And I show ebullient gratitude and rave about the bread. So, let’s say we’re simpatico as far as the bread goes, but over everything else you prepared, there’s a lack of equivalence of form. So, this leads to further Partzufim, to attempt to give back to the Creator (by receiving) all that He has prepared. Limitations upon what’s possible are discovered because the truth is that the Creation is unsuitable to receive in order to bestow, in all its parts, until some more processes will unfold. But, since the law of spirituality is maximum bestowal that you can, with all your powers, now and not later, in Adam Kadmon they’ve done what they could, with correct calculations.
