Question: Is there a specific intention for every word when reading Kabbalistic texts besides the common aspiration?

Answer: Once you acquire spiritual attainment you will have a common attitude towards the text as well as a private attitude towards every word.

After all, you will feel what every word represents. You will live it. You will go along with the author, perform the same actions, and you will see that your actions turn out exactly as the author says.

A Kabbalistic book is a book of instructions! You fully follow its precise instructions and check the results described in it on yourself, and this way you advance as you correct your soul.

And you receive an enormous pleasure with every action because you are revealing the Creator! In every action, you reveal some aspect of His attitude, some of His properties. After all, you are performing actions to become like Him, according to the way He created the desire to receive pleasure in you.

And this is why it is written: “From your actions, I will know you.” Your every action is an enormous pleasure!
