אות-כה

When a person falls from his level, let him know that this is from Heaven — for distancing is the ultimate drawing-close. Therefore he fell so that he would be aroused more to draw close to Hashem. The advice: he should begin again fresh, entering the service of Hashem as if he had not yet begun at all — and this is a great principle in the service of Hashem: one must literally each day begin fresh. (ibid., Ois 261)
