And behold, my beloved ones, like my brothers, may their souls rest in peace, governing the Land of Israel, for the one who journeys extensively to the place of the Name in the pursuit of the secret, he attains brevity in comprehension and depth in understanding. The multitude of suggestions that serve as impediments in attaining wisdom, particularly in the wisdom of Kabbalah from various angles, sin separates and distinguishes between the intellect and the intelligent, etc. Even though the possessor of the pomegranate orchard, due to the greatness of his sanctity and piety, is extremely cautious in several places and warns greatly against foreign thoughts that separate and establish boundaries and governance, etc. Yet, we also say, "Who would grant that a spirit would rise upon us from on high, that we may comprehend and understand these matters without any bias towards the truth and the roots of the faith, etc." And in these matters, it is appropriate for you to adopt the following principle: all things that are forbidden in the books of the Kabbalists, which they mentioned without dispute and without investigation, their simple meaning shall be understood, and the connection of these matters shall be tied on a white tablet, becoming droplets before your eyes.

Even if you encounter matters that appear perplexing in and of themselves or from a seemingly discordant perspective that suggests separation, multiplicity, materiality, or change, accept them with the faith of an artisan. Say to yourself in your heart that your knowledge and understanding are limited in depth, without entertaining any doubt regarding the fundamental principles of the great and numerous branches of the faith.

For even those fundamental principles cannot be grasped at their root by human intellect, and so on. Henceforth, go forth and learn that it is forbidden to innovate or derive understanding from what is written in the book, lest one deviate from the truth. However, it is permissible to elucidate verses according to what the Kabbalists have said, provided that the explanation is based on an agreed-upon tradition.

Only in this context does the portion elucidate, or it may allude to the numerical value (gematria) or the initial and final letters of words. It is good and proper to only say that in a possible way one should not decide the matter, etc. Only one should not spend too much time on them. And if God has placed it in his heart, and it is genuinely inspired without any coercion, he should not follow after vanity.

Rather, he should write it for remembrance, and it will be a great treasure in his eyes, for it is a sign for his soul, a divine portion from above that has nourishment and a source in a high place, and it is said to be holy. And now, behold, I have revealed to you a glimpse of my innermost thoughts. And you, the king in your profound and holy wisdom, enlighten me with your ways, and I will humble my mind before your knowledge. May life shine brightly in your realm.
