1. This "blessed venture" was due to what it says later in the following verses, saying:
I left without being noticed when my house was already quiet,
Taking the metaphor of the one who, to do his deed better, leaves his house at night, in the dark, calm and those of the house, because no one will hinder him.
Because, as this soul had to go out to do such a heroic and rare act, which was to unite with her divine Beloved outside, because the Beloved is only outside, in solitude, which is why the Wife wanted him to find himself alone. , saying (Song 8, 1): Who would have given me, my brother, that I would find you alone outside and communicate with you my love? at night, all the domestics of his house asleep and calm, that is, the low operations and passions and appetites of his soul asleep and extinguished by means of this night, who are the people of the house, who, remembered, always hinder the soul these their goods, enemy that the soul goes free to them. Because these are the domestics that our Savior says in the Gospel (Mt. 10, 36) who are the enemies of man. And so it was convenient that the operations of these with their movements be asleep tonight, so that the supernatural goods of the union of God's love do not impede the soul, because during the vivacity and operation of these it cannot be; because all its natural work and movement hinders rather than helps to receive the spiritual goods of the union of love, insofar as all natural ability about the supernatural goods that God places passively and secretly in the soul passively and secretly in the silence. And so it is necessary that all the powers have him and are passive to receive him, not interfering there his low work and vile inclination.
2. But it was fortunate in this soul that God put to sleep tonight all the domestic people of her house, that is, all the powers, passions, affections and appetites that live in the soul sensitively and spiritually, so that she, without to be noticed, that is, without being prevented from these affections, etc., (because they fell asleep and mortified this night, in which they were left in the dark so that they could not notice or feel in their low natural way, and thus prevent the soul to leave itself and the house of sensuality) (arrives) to the spiritual union of God's perfect love.
3. Oh, how happy it is to be able to free the soul from the house of sensuality! It cannot be well understood if it were not, in my opinion, the soul that has liked it; because he will see clearly how miserable servitude he had and to how many miseries he was subject to when he was subject to the work of his powers and appetites and he will know how the life of the spirit is true freedom and wealth that brings with it inestimable goods, as we will be noticing some of them in the following songs, in which it will be seen more clearly how right the soul has to sing, fortunately, the passage of this horrendous night that has been said above.
