Indeed, you should know that the reason for our great distance from the Creator, and that we are so prone to transgress His will, is for but one reason which became the source of all the torment and suffering we suffer, and for all the sins and the mistakes that we fail in (Baal HaSulam “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot“).

It is necessary that the question of why we are distant from the Creator, why we do not feel Him, should burn within us.

Clearly, by removing that reason, we will instantly be rid of any sorrow or pain. We will immediately be granted adhesion with Him in heart, soul, and might. 

Baal HaSulam says we should know that the true reason for our distance from the Creator lies in the lack of our feeling, awareness, and knowledge of Him. After all, we do not feel Him as the One who is within us and who governs us.
