RETURNING TO A HIGHER EXPERIENCE [#16972]

November 25, 2021

QUESTION:

I one time had an experience during hisbodedus when I was davening, where I felt the ohr EinSof, the infinite light. I didn’t consciously try to get there, it happened unexpectedly. Only later when I learned some sefarim did I realize what I experienced. How can I return to such an experience?

ANSWER:

It is similar to the night of Pesach, which is a high level that we experience and the day after it is gone, and we need 49 days afterwards of purifying our middos in order to return to it, so that we will be able to live with it correctly.
