”Even in a concealment within a concealment, it is certain that G-d is found over there.”

Rabeinu teaches us there’s 2 types of concealments: the first one being where a person is far from G-d and committed many sins over and over, but this person is conscious of the fact that G-d is distant from him. The second concealment is far more dangerous and almost impossible to get out of: this is where a someone doesn’t even recognize that G-d is hidden from him. He doesn’t even realize that he’s committing a sin…

In both of these concealments it’s very difficult to find G-d. The first one though, as long as he has the drive to toil and find G-d he can get out of his bad ways, but it’s much harder for someone in the second and deeper concealment to get out for the fact that he doesn’t even have the consciousness to search for G-d in the first place.

BUT, through the study/involvement of Torah, which brings a person Da’at, one is able to know that G-d is present even in the double concealment. This knowledge that G-d is even in the darkest place then turns this concealment into a Torah, and this Torah then is able to rebuke the person and guide him on the pathway of life. This rebuke then draws longevity into one’s kingship/rulership/authority….

Rabeinu also delves into other awesome advice: uncovering the secrets of the Torah, earning an easy livelihood, making peace, holy machloket/strife, fear of G-d, holy sighing…
