An Effort Is the Prayer

232.1Thus, the correction depends entirely on the connection of the letters ELEH the MI through MAN. This is why this correction is called “the holy tongue,” (Rashbi, Zohar for All, “Heaven and Earth”).

MAN is our desires. In rising to the upper world, they get included in its system and prompt parts of the upper world to connect with each other.

In this way, the nature of all worlds will start uniting and pulling toward each other. Then humanity will realize that it is included in the general nature of the world. Then it will begin to act logically and directly, in accordance with this system.

MAN is the raising of a prayer, a desire. The connection of any part occurs when raising MAN, a prayer occurs. If you want to connect with someone, you have to ask the upper force to do it.

Question: Why didn’t nature give us the strength to do this ourselves?

Answer: It will give that to you to the extent that you can use it for the benefit of everyone.

Question: But why should I ask for this? Let us say I made an effort and was given that, but no, I have to make an effort, ask, and pray.

Answer: This happens so that you really understand whether or not you are able to interact correctly in the world with all its parts.

Question: It is still not clear why the upper force shouldn’t give a person, after his efforts, the opportunity to connect with another part?

Answer: That is what it gives him.

Comment: But it says here that we need to raise a prayer.

My Response: So, this is effort. The effort itself is prayer.
