The main thing when reading The Book of Zohar is to be naive and simple in relation to it.

After all, this Book is so high and great that in relation to it we are small children who have been given an encyclopedia in our hands and hardly know how to even flip through it.

We do not understand anything written in The Zohar. But it does not matter. If you study it to the best of your ability, then the effect of the light contained in this Book is very great.

After all, you do not just read or listen to what is written in The Book. It is like you are in front of a touch screen of the computer controlled by the touch of your fingers. This is how The Zohar works.

Looking at some word, you as if click on it and turn on a certain system. When you read or listen to a word from The Zohar, you “press” on it and from its spiritual root, you attract the illumination (Ohr Makif) upon yourself. And so on, word by word, one illumination after the other. Moreover, The Zohar is written in such a way that it knows how to advance you.

In the spiritual world, we must grow the same way as babies grow in our corporeal world, naturally and instinctively.
Just as the external influence works on a baby in this world and he just opens up toward it, so must we open ourselves to spiritual influence.

Only as a result of its influence, will we acquire spiritual feelings and mind.
