Know for certain that since the time of the ARI to this day, there has not been anyone who understood the method of the ARI to the fullest…

And now, by the Creator’s will, I have been rewarded with a conception [impregnation] of the soul of the ARI, not because of my good deeds but by a higher will. It is beyond me, too, why I have been chosen for this wonderful soul, with which no one has been granted since his passing until today (Baal HaSulam, Letter 39).

We know nothing about our work. It is unknown for what purpose certain people are given unique abilities. This will become clarified only at the end of the general correction when all of us will unite into one Kli (vessel) and will see how much we truly depend on one another.

Therefore, Baal HaSulam writes that he does not know the reason why he was chosen “for this wonderful soul.”

Question: If one looks at this from an egoistic point of view, a person may ask: “How can he say about himself that he is the soul of the Ari?! Maybe it only seemed to him?”

Answer: As in any science, this is a statement of fact. Baal HaSulam had to say it for the confirmation of what he accomplished in the world.
