Question: What does the correct connection between the right and left lines mean?

Answer: Correct connection consists of taking the qualities of the Creator and the qualities of creation so that, based on them, creation can attain the Creator. What happens at the end of correction? The entire right line and the entire left line, and everything that is revealed in the process of attaining them, become united into one. What am I doing now? Now I use them to the extent that I am able to, to begin the correction and ask for it.

How is this done? Baal HaSulam says that you must connect yourself, your qualities (“Who am I and what am I?”), with the qualities of the Creator (“Who is He and what is He?”). In other words, your present action should be directed toward bringing these two together.

Start doing this now and observe what your inner resistance is like, the explosions that arise within you. This is how the forces for prayer are created within you. The fact that today you cannot connect these two lines, but you nevertheless make an effort to connect them, that itself is a prayer.

Prayer is not at all the state in which you have already connected everything: everything is, thank God, fine, and now you are in control of the situation. All these actions merely precede the prayer.
