Yearn to Come Back to God Often, whether at home or in the street, with a broken heart bear the following in mind: “The entire world is divinity: every grain of earth beneath my feet, the air I breathe, all of being is divine existence. So why am I so far removed from this, from the camp of God’s Presence? Why am I a separate being with my own desire and consciousness, with a coarse body and spirit (heaven forbid)? Master of the world, bring me close to You in complete goodness, as I turn to You with all my being, bring me close to You in complete goodness.”
הַרְבֵּה פְּעָמִים בֵּין בְּבֵיתְךָ וּבֵין בָּרְחוֹב תְּכַוֵּן מִתּוֹךְ שְׁבִירַת הַלֵּב, כָּל הָעוֹלָם אֱלֹּקוּת הוּא, גַּרְגִּיר חוֹל אֲשֶׁר תַּחַת רַגְלַי, הָאֲוִיר שֶׁאֲנִי נוֹשֵׁם בְּקִרְבִּי, וְכָל הַמְּצִיאוּת מְצִיאוּת אֱלֹּקוּת הֵמָּה, וְלָמָּה זֶה נִתְרַחַקְתִּי אֲנִי מִכָּל מַחֲנֵה הַשְּׁכִינָה זוֹ לִהְיוֹת רְשׁוּת לְעַצְמִי בְּרָצוֹן וְדַעַת בְּגוּף אַף נֶפֶשׁ מְגֻשָּׁמִים ח"ו, רבש"ע קָרְבֵנִי אֵלֶיךָ מִתּוֹךְ כל טוב וּמִתּוֹךְ תְּשׁוּבָה שְׁלֵמָה, (עַיֵּן סֵדֶר אֶמְצָעִי ויסוֹד הַחֶבְרָה אוֹת י"ד).
