A Voice Calls Unto Him
Baal HaSulam
If one is lost
in the thick woods,
If he does not
see any way out
To reach a
town,
He becomes
desperate,
And thinks he
will never return home.
When he sees someone from a distance
Or hears
someone's voice,
His desire to
return home will instantly revive as before,
And he will
begin to yell and cry out for someone
To come and
save him.
It is likewise with one who has lost
The good path,
and
Entered an evil
place,
And has grown
accustomed
To living among
vicious animals.
If he hears the
voice calling out to him,
He awakens to
repent
For this is the
voice of the Creator, not his own.
Thus, when the Creator
Wishes to lead
us out of the dense forest
He shows us a
glitter from afar.
Then the person
musters what strength he has left
To walk on the
path towards the glitter, in order to reach it.
