The Essence of Hisbodidus and Conversation Between Himself and His Creator in Completeness
He said: The essence of hisbodidus [secluded prayer] and conversation between himself and his Creator in completeness is when he expresses his conversation so much before Hashem [G-d] that he is very close to his soul departing, Heaven forbid, until he almost expires, Heaven forbid, until his soul is barely connected to his body, only like a hair’s thread, from the very pain, longing, and yearning for Hashem in truth. [For they said: "A person’s prayer is not heard unless he places his soul in his palm" [Taanis 8a]], that is, as above. And he said: Behold, when Hashem helps with hisbodidus, then the hisbodidus is as when a man speaks to his friend.
