632. I Will Always Yearn

“I will always yearn and I will add to all Your glory” (Psalms 71:14).

We should interpret that when one feels that he has closeness to Kedusha [holiness], and it must be that the Creator drew him near, he must praise the Creator for pulling him out of his lowliness and admitting him into a state of feeling the Kedusha. But one should not settle for this, although he should value his state, and as much as he can depict it as very important, meaning that as much as he may be able to appreciate its importance, this quality is still higher than his attainment.

Yet, he says, “I will always yearn,” meaning there are higher degrees than I can depict.

But how is this possible? After all, as much as he may depict this as important, how can something be more important than what can be depicted? About this, “I will always yearn,” meaning that I will be able to depict a more important reality than I can depict now. Naturally, “I will add to all Your glory.”

It follows that although now, for the present, I am praising You, by always yearning that I will be able to attain more understanding of Your importance, I will be able to add more glories.
