The Ari says that in the past
and I assume that this is for the Ari as well
that there were certain individuals
Tzadikim
and many he says
that during their lifetime
this is the key
during their lifetime, they were constantly making connections
with the world of reality, which we might refer to as the cosmos
and in addition to making connections,
were constantly creating unity in those cosmos.
Because where we find disunity or we find disharmony
or we find the kind of chaos that exists in our world today
we must understand that the chaos and calamity and holocaust
do not originate on the one percent level of our world
on the one percent level of our world
but rather because the cosmos are placed in a situation
or a condition of disunity,
ultimately it then becomes reflected on the way of wars, holocausts
and on a more person level
the individuals own disunity or lack of harmony
ultimately becomes reflected in his own life.
In other words, if he has not created within his sphere of the cosmos,
within his world of reality
he has not created an unified whole,
then the result of which is on our level
the manifestation of that discord
and therefore, we can have chaos in our life,
and we can have a disruption and everything else
following the lack of unity in the real reality of our own life.
So, if any of us ever experienced chaos and disruption,
illness, that is always a mirror image of the reality of our own world.
How we have created the reality of our own life,
because the physical part as the scientist have already disclosed today
and come to the conclusion that we live in a world of illusion.
Everything around us is an illusion.
Although, the man on the street may not be of that opinion because
it hasn't felt the down but in any event on a scientific level
they consider everything around us
as an illusion.
Einstein believe everything was an illusion,
when he wrote a letter to his friend
who had past away
and he wrote a letter to the wife of this dearest friend
He says " Your husband and I are not really separated,
it's only an illusionary separation between us".
Even Einstein who was ... that man who dealt with physics,
who dealt with the physical world,
understood that on a physical level
things are more of an illusionary nature.
So, there are people, Tzadikim, many he says,
that during their lifetime they created this unified whole
and they knew
{....Hebrew....}
and they knew when there are times in the cosmos,
when there is a manifestation of Et Ratzon, what is Et Ratzon mean?
Like our Shabbat, "Menecha", we say "Va'ani Telifati"
There's a time of Et Ratzon
There's a time during the day
There's a time in our life
a certain day says the Ari
in every person's life
a certain day
that day, every month,
whichever that day is, no harm can ever come to him.
It's called the time of Et Ratzon.
If we can discover what that day is
then no matter what you do that day,
no matter what steps you take
that might appear on an illusionary level, the physical level,
that it is a disaster
it can only come to some good fruition
never, never
could anything of a misfortune happen on a day of Et Ratzon.
In everybody's life.
Therefore, these Tzadikim knew
when the Et Ratzon was present in the cosmos
then at that moment,
they created a connection for unified whole at that moment
and that assisted them.
Because they are connected now to the Et Ratzon,
by making the connection of unification and
that Et Ratzon followed them for the rest of their life.
Therefore, these Tzadikim, who knew how to connect with this Et Ratzon,
they knew when it was present,
and they brought it down as a manifestation into our physical world.
Therefore, continuous the Ari,
while he doesn't say it right here, but
on page 76 of the same Shaar Ruach Hakodesh (Gate of Divine Inspiration)
{...Hebrew...}
Therefore, the custom of going to pray
on the burial sites of Tzadikim
is a form of connection.
Making connections
We are not present at the Ari, of course from a teleportation concept
if you meditate that we are there,
and for those who have been there
and during the Arvit, that was the purpose of the Kavanah
to transport ourselves, which is not difficult,
everyone can do it and everyone does it,
as I pointed out many of times,
just close your eyes for a minute and if you ever been to Hong Kong and
you want to visit Hong Kong in a second,
you don't need any airplanes,
you don't need any other moldes of transportation,
you can be there within a matter of seconds
and you are really there.
Your presence is there
from a scientific point of view,
your presence is there.
So that is not difficult.
The same way is when we want to transport ourselves to Tzfat,
where the Ari is buried, tonight, which is "Hey Av"
(5th of Av),
we also want to make this connection,
Why? Because the Ari was one of those who knew
how to make those Yichudim,
to make those connections with the Et Ratzon
and because today is the day of Yom Hilulah,
meaning the day that he passed on
and that's why we called not a day of mourning,
It's a day of Hilulah, a day of prays, a day of joy.
The day he passed away.
Why it is a day of joy? Because on this day,
we are certain that he returns for everybody.
Now while others can make a connection throughout the year
on this particular day of Hey Av, we are all certain that the Ari returns
