"Happy
are the righteous who know how to focus the aspiration of their hearts
on the Holy King, and whose hearts' intention is not at all directed to
this world and its vain desires; rather, they know and strive to direct
their will and cleave above, drawing the will of their Lord to them from
above to below. Where do they obtain the will of their Lord, drawing it
to them? From a certain supernal holy place, whence issue all holy
desires. And who is this? This is 'kol ish (every man)' ─ master of the
house, whose desire is constantly for Matronita, like a man who loves
his wife. Incessantly, his heart impels him ─ He loves Her, and his
heart, His Matronita, is impelled to cleave to to Him."
