As Spiritual State
The spiritual state corresponding to the sephirah of Daat is yichud ("unification"). This is seen in the etymological use of Daat in the Torah, such as Genesis 4:1 and 4:25 ("Adam knew Eve"), for sexual unification. While the union of Yesod (male/connection) with Malkuth (female/reception) embodies sexual unity in action, in Daat the unity is inward; the union with an idea awakening emotions.

Famous quotes containing the words spiritual and/or state:
“... if the Settlement seeks its expression through social activity, it must learn the difference between mere social unrest and spiritual impulse.”

“Typical of Iowa towns, whether they have 200 or 20,000 inhabitants, is the church supper, often utilized to raise money for paying off church debts. The older and more conservative members argue that the “House of the Lord” should not be made into a restaurant; nevertheless, all members contribute time and effort, and the products of their gardens and larders.”
