Torah 112

The practical principle [ha-k'lal ha-yotzei l'uv'da u'l'ma'aseh] that emerges from this teaching — regarding the great virtue of a word of truth spoken in prayer — through which Hashem Yisborach Himself illuminates for one to see the openings that are in the impurity — and to go from darkness to great light etc. — was already cited above in §9 — see there. And here it is further elaborated: the intelligent understanding person should pray all his days — that he merit once in all the days of his life to speak one single true word before Hashem as it should be. And through this counsel — one can be a truly worthy person all the days of one's life. For however one is — one can always give life to oneself and sustain oneself through the truth — which is the very light of Hashem Yisborach Himself. For which no darkness can darken. For there is no impurity or "sitra achra" in the world that does not have openings from which to exit. Only they are not seen — because of the great darkness there. But through truth — Hashem Yisborach Himself illuminates for one. And one merits to see and find a door of hope — even in the depths of one's fall — to go from darkness to great light. And to draw close to Him, may He be blessed, in truth always — Amen. [And through this counsel one can be a truly worthy person all the days of one's life. For however one is — one can always give life to oneself and sustain oneself through the truth — which is the very light of Hashem Yisborach Himself. For there is no impurity or "sitra achra" in the world that does not have openings — only they are not seen because of the great darkness there. But through truth Hashem Yisborach Himself illuminates for one (and as it is written: ""even darkness shall not be dark for You"") — and one merits to find the opening and go from darkness to great light. (See in the main text the difficulty from Menachos — I did not merit to understand the difficulty — for does not Rashi explain explicitly that they made an extra opening for him to assist him? And this is that the thing did not succeed — for this very reason — that he does not see the opening — and through there being an extra opening for him it would be easier to exit through one of the two. But in any case — if he had seen the opening he would have exited that way too. And it can be alluded to in Gemara Shabbos regarding "dasha" — through there.)]
