Practice the Techniques Take everything written in this work seriously. Put whatever you read into practice that day, or for two or three days, to anchor it firmly within yourself. Even if you do not succeed the first time, do not grow discouraged, for you are not required to do everything at once.
הֱוֵי זָהִיר בְּכָל שֶׁנִּרְשָׁם בַּקּוּנְטְרֵס הַזֶּה. וְהַדָּבָר שֶׁקָּרָאתָ תַּעֲבֹד בְּכָל הַיּוֹם, אוֹ שְׁנַיִם וּשְׁלֹשָׁה יָמִים, לִקְבֹּעַ בְּנַפְשְׁךָ שֶׁכֵּן תִּהְיֶה כֻּלְּךָ, וְאִם לֹא עָלָה בְּיָדְךָ בְּפַעַם הא' אַל יִפֹּל לִבְּךָ, כִּי "לֹא עָלֶיךָ הַמְּלָאכָה לִגְמֹר" בְּפַעַם אַחַת.
