Peace

To enhance the plan of the universe
G-d selected two Divine Masters:
Michael – in charge of effluence and Kindness,
Gabriel controlling boundaries of Severance.
By their attributes the Prince of water is Michael,
So the Prince of fire is Gabriel.

The two opposing elements by nature conflict,
As their essence persistently one another contradict.
When fire and water by own bounds distinguish
Each one the other respectively extinguish.
As soon as singularities are nullified
Before the King they are jointly unified.

The pristine state of attributes
Originates conflict and disputes.
Confinement to one’s innate recognition
Elicits battle contradiction and division.
As water strives for the fire suffocation
Fire attempts the water evaporation.

G-d makes peace through revelation –
The intense effusion from infinite illumination.
By transcendence of measured plane of attributes
Fire and water are absorbed in their source and roots:
Defined bounds dissipate in the face of the infinite
Before their King they embrace and jointly unite.
