GEN375 Do not strive to see him in the hour of his degradation.  Pirkei Avot IV:23   Whence do we learn this? – from Adam. When he ate of the tree [of knowledge] and became degraded—as we read, “they knew they were naked” [this verse] – the Holy One did not manifest Himself to them then, since they were in a state of disgrace.  Rather [did He wait until] “They sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.” [this verse]. Only after that “they heard the sound of the Lord God walking about in the garden.” [this verse].  SINAI2 163
