When the Soul Is Crying

236.01“My soul shall weep in secret,” meaning when one comes to a state of concealment, then “My soul shall weep,” because one has no other option (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 18, “My Soul Shall Weep In Secret”).

Question: What does it mean that the soul is crying?

Answer: When a person would like to give everything to the Creator and cling to Him but sees that he is not yet able to achieve this, he feels that his soul is crying.

In the spiritual world, as in our world, there are many different states: the soul is crying, the Creator is crying, the children of Israel are crying. But all this happens within one person.

In principle, in spirituality, as in our world, there are different tears: tears of happiness, grief, and so on.
