188. All the Work Is Only Where There Are Two Ways – 2
I heard after Shabbat Beshalach, Shevat 14, January 25, 1948
All the work is only where there are two ways, as we have found, “And he shall live in them, and he shall not die in them.” And the meaning of “shall be killed but shall not breach” applies only to three Mitzvot [commandments]. And yet, we also find that the first Hassidim gave their lives on [Mitzvot] to do.
But in truth, this is all the work. When one should keep the Torah, this is the time of the heavy load. And when the Torah keeps the person, it is not at all difficult, by way of “one’s soul shall teach him.” This is considered that the Torah keeps a person.
