יָדוּעַ שֶׁלִּמּוּד הַזֹּהַר מְסֻגָּל מְאֹד מְאֹד. וְדַע שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי לִמּוּד הַזֹּהַר נַעֲשֶׂה חֵשֶׁק לְכָל מִינֵי לִמּוּדָם שֶׁל הַתּוֹרָה הַקְּדוֹשָׁה.
The study of Zohar is extremely beneficial. Through studying the Zohar, you can attain enthusiasm for all your sacred studies.
וְהַלָּשׁוֹן הַקָּדוֹשׁ שֶׁל הַזֹּהַר מְעוֹרֵר מְאֹד לַעֲבוֹדַת הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ.
The very language of the Zohar is so holy that it can motivate you to serve God. The Zohar uses most forceful expressions in speaking about our duty toward God.
דְּהַיְנוּ הַשֶּׁבַח שֶׁמְּשַׁבֵּחַ וּמְפָאֵר אֶת הָעוֹבֵד ה', דְּהַיְנוּ הַלָּשׁוֹן הָרָגִיל בַּזֹּהַר לוֹמַר זַכָּאָה וְכוּ' עַל כָּל מִצְוָה וַעֲבוֹדָה.
When speaking of a person who does good, the Zohar says “Zakah – Worthy is he!”
וּלְהֵפֶךְ הַצְּעָקָה שֶׁצּוֹעֵק וַי וְכוּ' וַי לֵהּ וַי לְנִשְׁמָתֵהּ עַל הַסָּר מֵעֲבוֹדַת ה'.
On the other hand, it cries out against a sinner, “Vai! – Oy! Oy to him! Oy to the soul who strays from serving God!” (Zohar III, 175a).
אֵלּוּ הַלְּשׁוֹנוֹת מְעוֹרְרִים מְאֹד אֶת הָאָדָם לַעֲבוֹדָתוֹ יִתְבָּרַךְ.
Reading such expressions can greatly influence you to serve God.
