Editing Recognition and Sensation - Hacharah V'hargasha (section)

== Their Detailed Nature ==
In greater detail, Rabbi Shlomo Chaim explained on a certain occasion<ref>Commentary of Rabbi Shlomo Chaim on the Tanya, published by Otzar HaChasidim, Israel branch, Kfar Chabad, in the year 5771 (2010-2011</ref> that there are four levels in the contemplation '''before''' prayer, and their order (from lowest to highest) is: Sensation - Recognition - Verification - Vision:

* '''Recognition''' – This is like a person recognizing their friend, where a brief glance is enough to recall their characteristics and everything associated with them. It is a deepening and connection to a specific intellectual concept until it becomes like a "friend," so that the moment the concept arises, one immediately recognizes all its details and can even answer questions on the subject that they hadn't previously considered, because they thoroughly know its essence. Such recognition of an intellectual concept brings a person to something additional – Sensation.
* '''Sensation''' – When an intellectual understanding is verified in the form of recognition, it creates within the person an emotion appropriate to the intellectual concept they are engaged with. This is like a person rejoicing now in a joy that has not yet arrived (because in their mind they understand that it will certainly happen, such as the upcoming wedding of their son).
* '''Verification''' – When recognition and sensation are grasped to such an extent that the concept is accepted with simplicity and does not require proofs or evidence.
