There are many actions one must perform as he prepares for spirituality. After crossing the Machsom, there are also various spiritual actions: “Ibur” (the embryo state), “Leida” (spiritual birth), “Enika” (feeding), “Mochin” (big state)—that is, big (Gadlut) and small (Katnut) states.

When a person is already in spirituality and senses the Divine, he also goes through various stages. They are called the “24 hours of the spiritual day,” the days of the spiritual week, Shabbat, the months, Rosh Chodesh (the beginning of the month), and various holidays—all these are special spiritual states in which a person must work.

In the 12th part of the TES, we study how prayer is continuously divided into 24 spiritual hours, and there is even a state of sleep in it. Spiritual sleep is a special preparation for the next stage of spiritual ascent, which also constitutes a lot of work.

There is work in all spiritual states, experiencing which a person must exert to make corrections at a given degree. But Rabash’s article, which we are currently studying, says otherwise: “There Is None as Holy as the Lord, for There Is None Besides You” in spiritual work. That is, we are told that it is the Creator who does all the work for us, this is His work, and the person has nothing to do.

What can a person do if the Creator does all the work for him? He must come to the feeling and realization that there really is “None as holy as the Creator,” and “There is none else besides Him” who performs all actions, does everything, and plans everything. The beginning of an action, the process of its execution, and its results are all the work of the Creator.

But we also have a job to do and an effort to make us feel what is really happening to us, and to sense what is happening in the most correct way, to perceive it the right way.
