Where the Infinite Light is hidden
—there you see a world.
If you could see the light that generates this world
You would not see any world at all.
And yet the world you see
is nothing more than G-d's own hand hiding His light.
That is all there is to your world:
G-d hiding behind Himself.
Why?
So that you will search for Him
and find Him in this world of yours.
