This is what it means that one must engage in Torah day and night, that the night and the day should be equal for him, as written in The Zohar (BeShalach). In other words, the state of completeness called “day,” and the state of incompleteness called “night,” should be equal (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 300, “A Land Where You Will Eat Bread Without Scarcity”).

Question: If a person has the desire to pray and give thanks, it is called the day of the Creator, and if there is no desire, it is called the night of the Creator. In what way can they be equal?

Answer: In the fact that for a person both desires should be equally important because both conditions come from the Creator, and one must relate to both states equally. Day is when the Creator shines, and night when He is concealed from you.
