Daily Zohar # 3379 – Balak – The Right will accept you back
Hebrew translation:
202. מִי כּוֹלֵל כָּל אֵלֶּה? אוֹתוֹ שֶׁצָּרִיךְ לִכְלֹל אוֹתָם, וְזֶהוּ עֶבֶד שֶׁכּוֹלֵל אֶת כָּל הַשְּׁאָר. שְׁלֹשָׁה עֲבָדִים הֵם בִּשְׁלֹשָׁה מְקוֹמוֹת, וְכֻלָּם אֶחָד. וַעֲלֵיהֶם כָּתוּב (שם קכג) הִנֵּה כְעֵינֵי עֲבָדִים אֶל יַד אֲדוֹנֵיהֶם וְגוֹ’. בֵּין עֶבֶד לְעֶבֶד הֵם אוֹתָם אֲחֵרִים. בֵּין עֶבֶד רִאשׁוֹן לְעֶבֶד שֵׁנִי יֵשׁ לוֹ לִמְסֹר נַפְשׁוֹ עַל יִחוּד קְדֻשַּׁת שְׁמוֹ, וְלָשִׂים עַצְמוֹ עָנִי וּמִסְכֵּן בִּתְפִלַּת עֲמִידָה, וְלָשִׂים עַצְמוֹ בְּתוֹךְ חֲסִידִים בְּשׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה. עֶבֶד שְׁלִישִׁי לְאַחַר שֶׁסִּיֵּם וְסִדֵּר הַכֹּל.

Zohar Balak
Continued from previous DZ (3115)
#201
During the Amida prayer, one should separate himself from his sins by asking forgiveness. It will connect him to the Right, where God welcomes those who repent.
(from the prayer books) “כִּי יְמִינְךָ פְּשׁוּטָה לְקַבֵּל שָׁבִים” “because your Right hand is open to receive those who repent”.
After that, the person is called ‘Chassid’, ‘pious’, and becomes a servant that includes four aspects of services that come from the heart.
#202
A ‘servant’ of YHVH is one that is ready to give his soul back as a martyr and sanctify the Holy name. He also prays like a poor person with an awareness that he has nothing without the support of YHVH, and he is Chassid, pious. These three ‘servants’ are considered as one.
Psalms 123:2
“הִנֵּה כְעֵינֵי עֲבָדִים אֶל יַד אֲדוֹנֵיהֶם כְּעֵינֵי שִׁפְחָה אֶל יַד גְּבִרְתָּהּ כֵּן עֵינֵינוּ אֶל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ עַד שֶׁיְּחָנֵּנוּ.”
“Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to YHVH our God, Until He has mercy on us.”
The first servant expresses himself before the prayer, the second servant is ready for martyrdom during the prayer of the Shema and the unification of the Holy name, then during the Amida, he prays as a poor and pious. The third servant is after the prayer is complete when he is ready for spiritual work.
Lesson;
During the fifth blessing of the Amida, the Holy Ari recommends to us to include a special prayer to accept our repentance and connect to the Right to have the aspect of ‘Chassid’.
May it be before you, my God and the God of my ancestor, that you will strive under your throne, and receive the repentance of
This meditation can be made with the name of others that we want them to repent and find the righteous path.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְיָ אֱלֹהַי וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתַי שֶׁתַּחְתּוֹר חֲתִירָה מִתַּחַת כִּסֵּא כְבוֹדֶךָ, וּתְקַבֵּל בִּתְשׁוּבָה אֶת פלוני בני, [כמו כן אפשר על כל אדם ואף על עצמו, (סידור רבי שבתי)] כִּי יְמִינְךָ פְּשׁוּטָה לְקַבֵּל שָׁבִים.
