DonateG-d’s Bikur Cholim – G-d heals those who are sick with love:
It is possible for a person to become sick with love. This means that the person has become so infatuated and in love for an individual that it takes control of his life to the point that he is unable to properly function until he satiates his love. This is known as “Cholas Ahava.” This type of illness due to one’s love and infatuation can occur in love of G-d. When one arouses a passionate thirst to cleave to G-d he can become sick with love and be unable to properly function due to the concealment that he feels from G-d. In order to heal the sickness he needs to start feeling attachment to G-d. Indeed, when one is sick with love Hashem responds and draws down His revelation into the Sefiros and gives man a limited revelation which helps heal his illness. This is how G-d fulfills the Mitzvah of visiting and healing the sick.
