From the Baal Shem Tov: When one becomes aware that emotional suffering [lit: afflictions of the heart] are [signs of] the illness of the soul, [expressing] the mystery of diminished consciousness - once one has this awareness, then one repairs [lit: sweetens] this [i.e. the suffering] through the awareness. This constitutes one's healing. This is not the case with the mystery of hiddenness, as in the verse "I will surely hide [My face]" (Deuteronomy 31:18), which is when one is not aware that one is spiritually ill. Then one does not [experience] the healing of one's personal affliction.
