One must know in one’s heart that the Creator chases him just as much as he chases the Creator. One must never forget that, even during the greatest longing. When remembering that the Creator misses and chases him to cling to him as intensely as one wishes for it himself, he then always goes from strength to strength, with yearning and longing, in a never-ending Zivug [coupling], the complete perfection of the soul, until he is rewarded with repentance from love (Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 19).

Question: It is so poetically written here that he then always goes from strength to strength, with yearning and longing, in a never-ending Zivug. How can one reach such a high state?

Answer: If a person constantly directs himself toward greater connection with the Creator, by striving to feel it, he gradually begins to sense it. Continuous merging (Zivug) is when you constantly desire to be connected with the Creator and direct your sensations toward knowing Him. And thus, you move toward Him.

Question: Do true Kabbalists direct all their sensations, everything that happens to them throughout the day, toward the Creator and connect with Him through this?

Answer: Certainly. Is there anyone else besides the Creator? He is the root of everything, and a person directs himself toward Him.

Question: How do they not lose this focus on the Creator?

Answer: Through their own effort and personal prayer.
