מכאן איני זוכר כסדר ונכתב מעורבב.

“From here onward I do not recall it in order, and it was written in a mixed form.”

The Sefat Emet notes that the teachings from this point were not remembered in their original sequence, and therefore what follows was recorded in a fragmented or interwoven manner. This often reflects his method of preserving flashes of insight even when the full structure was not retained.

Summary: The section signals that the teachings ahead appear out of order due to incomplete recollection, revealing the spontaneous nature of the Sefat Emet’s recorded insights.
