Comment: In the corporeal world, there is a phenomenon of “weeping and tears.” It is interesting that in addition to joy and grief, which we express in the form of tears, it is also associated with survival.

Crying is mainly associated with negative emotions, although people can also from happiness cry, of course. The brain cannot identify negative or positive emotions; it does not care. There is just some kind of flow of emotions that gives instruction to produce tears.

It turns out that tears block excessive emotions. What is the reason for producing them in spirituality?

My Response: When a person does not have enough of a correct reaction to what is happening, he bursts into tears. In principle, and speaking in the language of Kabbalah, this is the absence of clear, correct, reflected light, or feedback. When it is impossible to react correctly, to make a restriction (Tzimtzum), screen (Masach), and reflected light (Ohr Hozer), then a person cries.

Question: However, this is not always accompanied by producing tears, as in our world, right? After all, there is no body in spirituality.

Answer: What does the body have to do with this? This refers to a certain reaction of desire to what is happening to it. Let us say the reaction to the fact that there is no light or that it cannot react correctly, and so on. That is, it is the absence of reverse, reflected light.
