273. Therefore, we have learned that the righteous are not gone or lost from all worlds, even when he has departed this world. He is to be found in all the worlds even more than during his lifetime, as he was located only in this world during his lifetime. Afterwards, he is in three worlds - NAMELY BRIYAH, YETZIRAH AND ASIYAH - and he is in them all, as it is written, "Therefore do the virgins (Heb. alamot) love you" (Shir Hashirim 1:3). Do not pronounce it alamot but olamot (lit. 'worlds'). Blessed is their share.
273. וְעַל דָּא תָּנֵינָן, צַדִּיקָא אע"ג דְּאִתְפְּטָר מֵהַאי עָלְמָא, לָא אִסְתַּלָּק וְלָא אִתְאֲבִיד מְכֻּלְּהוּ עָלְמִין, דְּהָא בְּכֻלְּהוּ עָלְמִין אִשְׁתְּכַח יַתִּיר מֵחַיּיוֹי. דִּבְחַיּיוֹי אִשְׁתְּכַח בְּהַאי עָלְמָא בִּלְחוֹדוֹי, וּלְבָתַר אִשְׁתְּכַח בִּתְלַת עָלְמִין, וְזַמִּין לְגַבַּיְיהוּ, דִּכְתִּיב עֲלָמוֹת אֲהֵבוּךָ, אַל תִּקְרֵי עֲלָמוֹת, אֶלָּא עוֹלָמוֹת. זַכָּאָה חוּלָקֵיהוֹן.
