Kabbalah sa Mga Awit 145:18: Ohr Ne'erav, Sha'arei Kedusha & Sha'arei Orah

[Kabbalah] also possesses a third virtue. It is that the one who pursues this science will know how to unify his Master and to serve him with a complete heart. Thus Rabbi Simeon bar Yoḥai, peace upon him, explained in [the Zohar], section Be-shalaḥ.⁵Zohar II, 57a. The Lord is near to all who call Him, to all who call Him with sincerity (Ps. 145:18).

If you truly call out to HaShem-יהו"ה, He too will be close to you, as it states,²⁶²Psalms 145:18 “HaShem-יהו"ה is close to all who call Him, to all who call Him in truth,” and,²⁶³Chronicles I 28:9 “For HaShem-יהו"ה seeks all hearts and He understands the inclination of all thoughts and knows all who take refuge in Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you.”

Now, all these legions between the earth and the heavens, are like a person who walks in a place of danger. So too, to ascend to the firmament, one’s prayers must pass through these camps. If one is meritorious, robbers will not attack his prayers, but if he is not meritorious, many obstacles and destructive forces will attack him on the way.
