“When you do the things that you need to do, when you need to do them, the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do, when you want to do them”.

On the basis of the tradition all of these attributes (of G!d) in the six extremities are also called “garden”,¹ as it says, “The Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east”,² that is to say, from before³ the creation of the world . . . and, in truth, Eden refers to Wisdom,⁴ the inception of all the emanations,⁵ which is intimated in the word bere’shit,[^173c] translated as “by means of wisdom”[^173e], and the rabbis, blessed be their memory, said,⁶ “even bere’shit is (to be considered) a saying” (in the tally of the ten sayings by means of which the world was created). Hence, Eden is the inner Wisdom⁷ in which are engraved the thirty-two paths of wisdom, and it is like a spring and like the root for all of them and for the garden. The garden is like a tree that has many branches, from its head to its foundation, and it is nourished constantly from the root, which is the spring that comes forth from Ein Sof, and it spreads forth from the source without separation and without cessation, without day or hour, even a second, and this is the intent of what is written “the river goes forth from Eden to irrigate the garden”.⁸ This river⁹ is the inner light¹⁰ that issues constantly from Eden. Therefore it says “goes forth”¹¹ and it did not say “went forth”¹² for it does not cease, and in every moment it emanates in these attributes.¹³

Remember that this is an attempt to explain it, taking from the Hebrew  and translating it into another language, another way of expressing this entanglement between the spiritual and the material realm.
