      "en": "When a person sees that things are not going in order — let one know that one has arrogance — and do teshuvah. And humble oneself — and be in the aspect of \"mah\" [nothing]. And then things will return to going in order.\n\nThe primary teshuvah is in the month of Elul. For these are days of favour — when Moshe ascended to receive the second Tablets — and he opened a paved and broad path to walk in. And the path of teshuvah that Moshe made is this — that one must connect oneself even with the lowest of the lowest in Israel. For even in the lowest of Israel — there is certainly some divinity. And through this one can unify and connect oneself with him. Also — at each and every ascent that one ascends higher — one must find G-d there. For sometimes through one's ascending — such as becoming wealthy — one forgets the Holy One, blessed be He. Also even in the service of Hashem — we find that \"Elisha Acher\" [the Other] ascended above and denied the fundamental — G-d forbid. Even though in truth certainly the opposite is fitting. But know — this is the aspect of: \"\"and his eyes had grown dim from seeing\"\" [Genesis 27:1]. For because one drew too close to the light of divinity — for all good — even in materiality — is divinity — as it is written: \"\"Hashem is good to all\"\" [Psalms 145:9]. Through this the light dims one's eyes and harms one. Like a person who looks directly at the sun — the sun's light harms one's eyes. And therefore one must ask Hashem Yisborach to bring one close — in a closeness that will not harm one.\n\nWhen you are in the aspect of \"mah\" — and draw divinity upon yourself — binding your thought always to His divinity, may He be blessed — through this all the wars and all the wills that are against your will will be nullified."
