Never ever stop screaming to Hashem

Whoever desires to have mercy on his soul, so that he doesn't destroy his world Heaven forbid, needs to search and investigate very much after the truth in order to truly return to Hashem Yisburach, because perhaps his mind is misguiding him in some no good way Heaven forbid, since he did not merit to configure the light of the Torah properly, because the mechanisms of his intellect are not honed because of defection of the bris (circumcision – covenant). And the main rectification for all this is screaming, and prayer, and words, and hisbodidus between one and his Maker, for it is necessary to scream a lot to Hashem Yisburach that He should always lead him in the straight (/just) and true way, like King David r.i.p. screamed copiously for this (Psalms 27:12), “Teach me Hashem Your way, (so that) I will go in Your truth,” “Teach me Hashem Your way and lead me in the just past (Psalms 27:11),” “Teach me Hashem the way of Your statutes etc. (Psalm 119:33),” “Send Your light and Your truth they will lead me (Psalm 43:3),” and so forth many numerous more (verses). For one needs great merit, and salvation, and great mercy, and effort (hishtadlus), and great exertion all the days of his life, that he should merit to go at all times absolute truly in the holy way, and it is necessary to scream profusely to Hashem Yisburach for this with meseeras nefesh (-self sacrifice), until one's soul actually just about departs Heaven forbid, as our Rabbis o.b.m. said (Taanis 8a): The prayer of a person isn't heard unless he puts his soul in his palm. For the main rectification of the bris (circumcision – covenant), to merit to leave the exile of this desire completely, is through screaming abundantly to Hashem Yisburach, for it necessary to scream at least seventy calls, and in these seventy calls are included infinitely numerous calls, and screams, and prayers, and entreaties, all the days of a person's life. For the seventy years of a person correlate the seventy facets of the Torah that one needs to merit (to them). And everyone can understand in his soul (-for himself) how distant he is still, even from the aspect of one facet of the Torah, all the more so from all of them.

Therefore even if he didn't vitiate very much, and even if he already screamed a lot to Hashem Yisburach and engaged copiously in Torah and mitzvos, even still, since he still did not attain conception of even one facet of the Torah, and not even a thousandth or ten-thousandth of this, how plentifully he certainly still needs to scream to Hashem Yisburach all the days of his life. And it is already known that it is forbidden to ever despair oneself of screaming, for even if one vitiated very, very much, and even if he is still the way he is, if he does not despair himself of screaming, and prayer, and entreaty, he can merit to a true revelation of a facet of the Torah, and even to all the seventy facets, for Hashem Yisburach is good to all, just that some issaroosa dillissata (-arousal from below – from the person's own accord) is necessary. And the main thing is – to scream abundantly to Hashem Yisburach, until one merits to break all the desires, and primarily the desire mentioned above, and then he will merit to a revelation of the Torah in the aspect of the seventy facets of the Torah.
