This deep work aims to help us acquire an understanding of the concepts of Shleimus, spiritual perfection, Chassidus, true righteousness, as well as love and awe of Hashem (God). Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato, the author of this work, was a leading Kabbalist in the 17th century. We previously explored his book Derech Hashem in the Daily Kabblah lesson. This work actually constitutes a guide to attaining Ruach Hakodesh, Divine Inspiration.
