However, in order to draw the levels of Yaakov and Yisroel down, three things are required: Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov, for the three prayer services were established by the forefathers.
יֶּ ש יֵדְּכוּמְש ָּך בְּחִּינַת יַעֲקֹב וְיִּש ְ רָּ אֵל הַנַּ''ל , צָּרִּ יך לִּהְיוֹת ג' בְּחִּינוֹת , ש ֶּהוּא בְּחִּינוֹת :אַבְרָּהָּם , יִּצְחָּק , וְיַעֲקֹב. כִּּי "תְּ פִּלּוֹת – אָּבוֹת תִּּ קְנוּם " .
And this is the goal of prayer, when we request “Blessed are You, ‘הֲַׁוַָּׁיָּהַׁ-Havaye,’” drawing You from concealment to revelation through Havaye, as known and explained earlier in the maamar.
וְזֶּהוּ עִּנְיַן הַתְּ פִּלָּּה , םיִּ שְקַבְּמֶּ ש "ךּורָּּב אַתָּּה הֲ וָּ יָּה "– מֵהַהֶּעְלֵם אֶּל הַגִּּילּוּי כוּ' , כַּנּוֹדָּע.
However, there must first be a sense of bitterness on one’s being utterly distant from Hashem, as is stated, “The lower waters weep, [saying: “We want to come before the King!]”
תַניִּחְּב םֶּדֹו קִּמ תֹויְהִּל מְרִּ ירוּת עַל הָּרִּ יחוּק מֵאֱלֹקוּת בְּתַכְלִּית , וּכְמַאֲמָּר : "מַיִּם תַּחְ תּוֹנִּים בּוֹכִּין כוּ' " .
When Hashem first made the world, the waters were all mixed together, and on the second day of creation He separated the upper spiritual waters to ascend to Heaven and the lower physical waters to descend to the earth. Because of this, the lower waters cry to Hashem to return to their source in Hashem. [Hashem consoled the waters by promising them that Jewish People will use the physical water for Mitzvos, like the salt from the sea for salting the Korbanos in the Beis Hamikdash.] Similarly, a Jew should feel a great yearning to return to his source in Hashem.
This is done by reflecting on Hashem’s Greatness, as we say in the morning prayers: “Blessed is He who spoke [and the world came into being] ...” Meaning, that with one Statement [of Hashem] all of the worlds came into existence.
לְהִּתְ בּוֹנֵן בִּּגְדוּלַּת ה' , "ךּורָּּבש ֶׁאָּמ רַׁ כוּ' ,"ש ֶּבַּאֲמִּ ירָּה אַחַת נִּתְ הַוּוּ כָּּל הָּעוֹלָּמוֹת 'ּוכו ,
