202) “My soul, I long for You at night; even my spirit within me seeks You.” The Creator is the Ruach and Nefesh [spirit and soul respectively] of everything, and Israel say, “You are my soul and spirit.” For this reason, I long for You, to cling to You, and I seek You to find Your will.
203) When a person is sleeping in his bed, his soul goes out and rises, and testifies on that person what he did throughout the day. Therefore, the body says to the soul, “My soul, I long for You at night”; when you leave me, “Even my spirit within me seeks You.”
204) The Assembly of Israel said to the Creator: “‘My soul, I long for You at night.’ While I am in exile among the rest of the nations and deny my soul from all the evil connected to the people of the nations, my soul longs for You, to return to my place. ‘Even my spirit within me seeks You.’ That is, although my sons are enslaved with every enslavement, the holy spirit does not leave me, to visit You and to do Your Mitzvot [commandments].”
205) Israel said before the Creator, “While my soul is in me, I long for you at night.” “At night,” since at that time the soul must covet You. “Even my spirit within me seeks You”; when the holy spirit awakens, I will seek you with awakening, to do Your will.
And it is written, “For when Your judgments are in the earth.” That is, when judgment, ZA, descends to the earth, Malchut, to perfume the world, it is written, “The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness,” meaning they can tolerate the Dinim of righteousness and the people of the world will not be annihilated from it. When do the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness? When Your judgments are on the earth. “My soul, I long for You at night” is the Assembly of Israel, Malchut. “Even my spirit within me seeks You” is the Creator, for Malchut is Nefesh and the Creator is Ruach.
