Zohar 1:43a

Jewish Mysticism
“The one who knows the secrets and achieves perfection cleaves to his Master and abolishes all harsh decrees, and he crowns his Master and draws down blessings on the whole world, and this is the person who is called the righteous, pillar of the world [Cf. Prov. 10- 25; b. Yoma 38b]. His prayer does not return empty, and his portion is in the world-to come, and he is counted amongst those of faith (benei mehemanuta).”
