It behooves then, for man to concentrate his thoughts and to focus his mind on these great effects and on the order of prayer. Be He, and an inner and spiritual worship which is the true worship. The body possesses twelve members that participate in rendering worship. These are the outer members of the body, but there are also twelve inner members whose act of worship is of benefit to the spirit. Blessed Be He, as expounded among the mysteries taught by R. Shimon, and as belonging to the mysteries of Supernal Wisdom known to the Companions, happy is their portion.
Prayer is spiritual worship.
Deep mysteries are attached to it, for men do not understand that a man's prayer cleaves the ethereal spaces, cleaves the firmament, opens doors and ascends on high. These abide in ethereal space on the four sides of the world. The moment it does so, the supervisor takes it up. If it has been fitly uttered, he together with all the other chieftains, kisses that utterance and carries it aloft into the supernal firmament, where others are awaiting it. Happy is the mouth from which issued this utterance, this crown.
