Tikkunei Zohar English Translation & Basic Commentary — Tikkun 11
<p>When Israel prays, all these chambers open toward them. But now, in exile, it is said of them that all gates are locked, the Shekhinah [Divine Presence] is outside Her chamber, the Holy One, blessed be He, is outside His chambers, and the ministering angels are outside theirs, as it is written (Isaiah 33:7), ‘Behold, their valiant ones cry without.’ There is no place for their prayers to ascend, and thus all the gates are locked. However, the gates of tears are not locked, and no one can open these gates until the Master of Tears comes, as it is said (Exodus 2:6), ‘She opened [it] and saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying.’ No chamber opens except for it, and thus it is ‘She opened.’ The chamber opened for it with tears, as it is written, ‘and behold, a boy crying,’ and immediately, ‘she had compassion on him.’</p>
