Part 12 · Chapter 185

The Ari's Text

And behold, if in the morning there were only the Shema of the sacrifices alone, its coupling would be inferior, like the coupling of the evening. Therefore another time of the Shema of Yotzer was needed, in order to make another, more excellent coupling, and to draw a more excellent drawing, namely from the externality of Atik; and then all the Mochin of Gadlut, inner and encircling, of Aba and Ima, will enter into ZA.

1And then all the Mochin of Gadlut, inner and encircling, of Aba and Ima, will enter into ZA, etc., because in the morning is the time of kindness and mercy: The intention is not that they enter into him immediately at the time of the Shema, for at the time of the Shema he receives only VAK of Ima of Gadlut, as in the other three kinds of Shema, as above. Rather, the intention is that the Mochin enter into ZA in their usual way — at the time of the Shema some of them enter, namely the inner ones of VAK of Ima of Gadlut, and afterwards, in the Amida, their completion enters, until he receives all the Mochin that came out in this great coupling at the time of the Shema.
