When it is a good time for man to understand the hidden part of the way to spirituality (Kabbalah)?
When man feels that he is in a state of spiritual elevation, that all his desires are focused only on the Creator, then it is the best time to delve into proper books on the Kabbalah in order to try to understand their inner meaning. Although he might feel that he cannot understand anything despite his efforts, it is necessary anyway to delve into the Kabbalah again and again, hundreds of times, and not give way to despair at one’s failure to understand anything. The meaning of these endeavours lies in the fact that man’s efforts to comprehend the mysteries of the Torah are his prayer for the Creator’s manifestations to be revealed to him, for the Creator to satisfy these yearnings. The strength of the prayer is determined by the strength of his yearnings.
