What is prayer? My desire must become included in the upper one. But for now, I am not yet within Him. I can be heard by Him if I raise my Hisaron to Him. The raising of one’s need to the Creator is called performing an action in faith above reason.

I take my desire from the degree I presently stand on and raise it to the higher degree. How is this action performed? It is completely opposite to how we imagine it.

To the extent that my state appears absolutely hopeless to me, I must see only one conclusion in it —that only the Creator can help me.

This is not a logical transition. Through logic, our intellect cannot transfer us from the corporeal world into the spiritual world.

There is a gap between these two worlds. Only when we receive a Masach (screen), a spiritual vessel, an intention for the sake of bestowal, and complete detachment from our own feelings and reason, can my desire become included in the higher degree as a prayer.
