?????? ????????. ??????? ?????? ????????? ?????????. ?????????? ????????? ????????? ?????.
This tfilla can be explained looking at the 4 levels of one’s connection to Hashem (when on the way down).
???????? – Present tense. The person who is falling day after day from his madreiga. He is still falling, and he knows it.He desperately wants to land on his feet and resume his connection to Hashem.
?????? – One who has fallen (past tense) and cannot get up. He is lying in bed. He is paralyzed from the waist down (figuratively speaking). His arms and his heart still work, and if he gets enough chizuk and spiritual motivation, he will break out of his state.
????????? – He is incarcerated. His heart is a rock. He cannot free himself, no different than a jailed individual cannot free them self. However, there is still a spark inside, thus there is still hope.
????????? ????? – He is beyond the point of no return. There is no hope to work with them.
For all these 4 categories we still daven to Hashem and ask hat all be saved (on this world as well as the next) ?????? ????????. ??????? ?????? ????????? ?????????. ?????????? ????????? ????????? ?????.
