Donate- After experiencing the above broken heartedness, one can experience true happiness and joy. This can be achieved through telling oneself the following message:
- One is to tell himself about the following message in order to doubly console himself after bringing himself to the true realization of his low spiritual state.
- The true recognition of my bad spiritual state: It is absolutely true without doubt that I am very distanced from G-d to the ultimate extreme.
- It is also true that I am low and despicable.
- All the above, however, refers only to me alone, which is my body and to its animal soul that is within it.
- The recognition that I have a G-dly soul: However, irrelevant of the above, I also contain an actual portion of G-d within me, which is found within even in the lowest of the low of Jews, which is the G-dly soul which contains an actual spark of G-dliness that is invested within it to enliven it.
- The above spark however is in a state of exile and the more distanced that I am from G-d to the utmost, and the more repulsive and repellent that I am, the deeper and greater this exile of the G-dly soul becomes within me.
- I will have compassion for the G-dly soul: Accordingly, the mercy and compassion that I must have for my G-dly soul is tremendous, and the more distanced I am from G-d and the greater and deeper the exile of my G-dly soul is, the greater the mercy and compassion I must have for it.
- I will remove the G-dly soul from exile and return it to G-d: Accordingly, I will therefore place all my efforts and energies to remove and elevate the G-dly soul from its state of exile and return it to “its home of its youth” in which it was found prior to it descending into my body, in which it was incorporated within the light of G-d and completely united with G-d.
- I will be careful in Torah and Mitzvah observance: I will accomplish this by placing all my effort and energy in the fulfillment of Torah and Mitzvahs, to invest within them all of my 10 soul character traits.
- I will concentrate in Prayer: Especially, I will place effort in my service of prayer to scream to Hashem from the state of exile that my G-dly soul is in within my loathsome body, in order to remove it from its imprisonment and attach to G-d.
- Through performing Torah and Mitzvahs and concentration in prayer, one performs not only repentance, but also good deeds. Indeed [repentance alone does not suffice to remove the G-dly soul from its exile and], it is the good deeds that returns the portion of G-d that is found within the soul to its root and source in G-d.
