Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: “An intensely tangible nearness to God.”

The nullification of the world before the Divine means that no barrier exists, that God is here with us as fully as He is in the highest heavens, and perhaps even more so. The more a person meditates on this, the more he perceives an intensely tangible nearness to God.

This nearness is not dependent on a persons
righteousness, fulfillment of mitzvot, Torah study, or anything else.

Rather, it is a closeness that has no conditions, no limits, where essence meets essence and one may come to feel an intense joy that is without conditions and without limits.
