אות-ס

Hisbodidus at night, crying to G-d and building ones good points from out of the bad, bring joy, and holds lust at bay, and cultivates a consciousness of the future world At night, then is the main time for hisbodidus to express one's words before Hashem Yisburach, and to pour out his heart like water directly before the countenance of Hashem (Lamentations 2:19), and to seek out the good spirit, that is, the good points that he still retains, and to extract them from within the bad spirit, and through this he will merit to joy and to quell the imagination, from which all the desires ensue. And through this he will merit memory, to always remember the coming (-future) world, and to think at all times of his purpose and ultimate end, of the coming (-future) world, until he merits to truthfully return to Him blessed He. (Likutay Moharan, Torah 54; Likutay Aitzoas, hisbodidus 8).
