Chasydyzm do Sofoniasza 1:12

(Second night) It is written "the candle of Ad-nai is the soul of a person, searching all one's inner parts" (Prov. 20:27). And in the Gemarah: "a search from candles. One candle from one candle" "I will search Yerushalayim with candles" (Pesachim 7b and Zeph. 1:12) see there. The issue is that the Tabernacle and the Temple are found inside every person in Israel, just as the verse "and I will dwell in them" (Ex. 25:8). And according to what a person clarifies for themselves, that all aliveness of the soul, about which we say every day "the soul You gave me is pure" - that is, that there is one pure point inside every person of Israel, just that this point is truly hidden and concealed. And in the time that the Temple was standing, it was revealed that all aliveness comes from the Holy One of Blessing. And this is the issue of the inspiration of the Shechinah, which is a proof that the Holy One of Blessing soaks Israel completely. And now, that the Tabernacle is hidden, in any instance a person can find this through searching with the candles, as explained. And the explanation is that the candles are the mitzvot, as explained above, and when we search with all our heart and soul [exert ourselves] to do a mitzvah with all aliveness, since the candle [ner] is soul, spirit and also the 248 parts of the body with which we do a mitzvah with awe and love, since the gematria of candle [ner] is as above, then this preparation and strength enables a person to find through the aspect of Tabernacle, and to arrive to that hidden point we spoke about before. And all the more so in those days, in which miracles were made that lights were kindled through a miracle, even though the aspect of candles was then missing from the Children of Israel. And also now, there is an immediate help through the mitzvah of the Hanukkah light to find, through the aspect of hidden [light], since the essence of hiddenness is darkness, in which we need candles to search and find, as explained. And the book Kedushat Levi explaines that Hanukkah is in the aspect of Koh, since Moshe received his prophetic powers through this word, and it is the most clarified inspiration. And the prophets in "Koh", even though it is concealed, it is a lens that is not seen. And in Hannukah there is a revelation also of the aspect Koh, which is set also in the dark and hidden place, as explained. And in any instance, since it is written "I will search ... with candles" it is explained that one can find, even today, the aspect of the Temple and Yerushalayim through searching. And so it is written "from 'no one seeks her' can be inferred that it requires seeking" (Sukkah 41a quoting Jeremiah 30:17). And this happens through the strength that a person has when they do mitzvot with all their aliveness, they will awaken the inner aliveness that is the pure point, and about which is said "searching all inner parts", that one is able to find with the force of innerness the Hidden Light that is in all inner parts, as explained. [And this is the issue of "one should consider oneself as having a holy object in one's innards" (Taanit 11b). And when a person fixes themselves like this, the verse about them is "and they will make Me a sanctuary and I will dwell in them" (Exodus 25:8). In them, really, as explained.]
