Question: A super effort is a plea and a request to the Creator in a state when I am feeling the utmost greatness of the Creator. It can only be through great effort and only for a few seconds. Then the effort evaporates, and a preparation for a new drop of effort is required again.

This is especially prominent during a group reading of The Book of Zohar. I have heard that a student of a great Rav could reach effort like this up to 300 times during a reading of The Book of Zohar. This is not easy; it requires special intention, an environment, self-development, a special state, and so on. Does an effort like this require previous preparation?

Answer: The ability to implement an effort like this is acquired only after many years of study in a group.
