a relaxed/satisfied spirit” and is similar to the idea of Shabbos when all the worlds ascend to their source in Hashem, so too through prayer all of the person’s material matters become elevated to their source in holiness, as is known that in every prayer that is recited during the six work days there is a “shine” from Shabbos.
However, all of this elevation achieved through prayer when a person takes a break from work to pray is only called “the Lower Level of Shabbos”.
However, there is a higher level of spiritual elevation in prayer, called “the Higher Level of Shabbos”, which is what we will experience in the Future era after Moshiach comes, which will be “a day which is completely Shabbos.”
This is the meaning of the verse (Yeshaya 54:9): “[Hashem says:] Just like I have sworn not to bring the [Great Flood called the] ‘waters of Noach’ again upon the earth, so to I have sworn to not become angry and rebuke you [the Jewish People] again [after the coming of Moshiach].”
Since, even though these waters came to purify the earth, nonetheless Hashem swore to not bring them again, because it is not always needed to have such a level of purification, once the world had that purification of the Great Flood it will never need again something of that magnitude.
“So too I [Hashem] have sworn to not become angry and rebuke you [the Jewish People] again”, Since, once they had the purification process of exile and dealing with the material concerns called “many water” for thousands of years, they will have completed that purification process and will not need any further purification through the “many waters” of material concerns.
Even though we explained above that through the “many waters” of material concerns there is an advantage to the Divine soul like the advantage of light coming in darkness, which is the love of Hashem “with all of your might” without limitations, nonetheless, there is an even greater love of Hashem that comes as a gift from Above, which is even greater than the love of Hashem that comes from overpowering the “many waters” of material concerns.
This gift of great love is described in the verse (Shir HaShirim 2:6): “His [Hashem’s] ‘right hand’ embraces me.”
The ‘right hand’ is a metaphor for kindness and love, and saying that “Hashem’s ‘right hand’ embraces me” means that Hashem envelops me with a power to love Him that is beyond my own limitations and personality, it embraces me since it is essentially beyond my own limitations, it is only a gift from Hashem that I am able to experience such a love for Hashem.
This level of love for Hashem will be revealed in the Future era after Moschiach comes.
As it is written (Yeshaya 54:10): “For even if the mountains would move and the hills would collapse, My kindness from you will not move and the covenant of My peace with you will never falter.”
This verse shows how Hashem will express an unlimited love for us in the Future, which will also awaken in us an unlimited love for Him.
This refers to Hashem’s Kindness and love from Above, this great love which comes to us from Above is called “embracing us with His right hand”.
(This is also the meaning of the verse (Yeshaya 52:13): “And [Moshiach] will be elevated and exalted מְאֹד-extremely”, meaning that even the love of Hashem “with all of your מְאֹד-might” will itself become ‘exalted’ to a higher level when Moshiach comes [speedily in our days].)
In other words, our capacity to love with “all of our might” without any limitations is still relative to our current situation, but after Moshiach comes when Hashem reveals his true love for us, we will be able to experience a love for Hashem during prayer on a totally different level.
May Moshiach come speedily and we should experience this, Amein!
