And he spoke of the inordinate dramatic greatness of the Creator blessed is His Name, and it is impossible to explain this in writing. And he said:[10] That to the greatness of the Creator blessed He there is no measure, because there are awesome things happening in the world, extremely wondrous and awesome, and they are not known whatsoever,[11] that is, that we still do not know any knowledge whatsoever, absolutely nothing. And also what is brought (Bichinoyas Oalum[11]) "the apex [tachlis] of knowledge [ha-yideyuh] is that we will not [sheloa] know [naidah],"[12][13][14] that is also applicable to every single level of knowledge, that is, that even when one reaches the apex of that knowledge, that is, not to know — even still this is not the apex. Because this apex is just in that knowledge, but in the knowledge higher than it, he still has not started in it whatsoever, and so forth higher and higher. Hence never will one know anything whatsoever — not; and even still this is not the apex, because he still hasn't started whatsoever to know of the knowledge above this knowledge that he has reached its apex of not knowing, etc.[15][16]

Also he spoke of the inordinate dramatic greatness of the virtue of repentance, and even when one falls drastically Heaven forbid, and everyone falls to where they fall — may the Merciful One save us — even still it is forbidden to give up on oneself, because repentance is higher, above the Torah,[17] therefore there is not any despair in the world, because if one merits there will be made from his sins an entirely different affair, just as our Sages o.b.m. said (Yuma 86: regarding repentance out of love) that the sins are turned around into merits. And there is in this matter secretive secrets,[18] just the general principle is that from all the falls and descents of the world — may the Merciful One save us — it is possible to return to Him blessed He easily, "because to His greatness there is no measure" [Psalms 145:3].[19] And the main thing which all is contingent upon, is that one should not despair of himself from screaming to Hashem and to supplicate and to pray to Him blessed He always.[20][21]
