25. Ever let the privacy of your chamber guard you; ever let the Bridegroom sport with you within. Do you pray? You speak to the Bridegroom. Do you read? He speaks to you. When sleep overtakes you He will come behind and put His hand through the hole of the door, and your heart shall be moved for Him; and you will awake and rise up and say: “I am sick of love.”[Song of Solomon 5:8] Then He will reply: “A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.”
