And that palace is called \u201cthe palace of merit,\u201d since when they sit in judgment, they first discuss the man\u2019s merit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>70) This is not so in the degree of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, where there is a place called \u201cdemerit,\u201d since all of his actions in this place\u2014which is the serpent\u2019s, a woman of harlotry\u2014are only to discuss man\u2019s demerits and slander him before his Master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>71) Those in the palace of merit are called \u201csweet water,\u201d \u201cclear water.\u201d Those in the palace of demerit are called \u201cbitter water,\u201d as it is written, bitter water, which causes curse. These three are absent in that palace of merit: sons, life, and nourishment. They are also not in the place of demerit or in the place of sweet and clear water or in the bitter water that cause curse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>72) This is why Israel sow a holy seed beside all waters, meaning raise&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>&nbsp;up to the uppermost&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, called \u201cwater,\u201d and beget beside all waters. Their seed is established only above, in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. This is why sons, life, and nourishment are not dependent on the palace of merit, but rather depend on the holy fortune, the holy&nbsp;<em>Dikna<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>AA<\/em>, his&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;that came out. And this place is \u201cBeside all waters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>73) \u201cWho send out freely the ox and the donkey.\u201d There is nothing in the shells of ox and donkey, since all their evil parts have been sent away from them and they cling to that good side of all the upper holy ones. When an ox and a donkey unite, they are two harm-doers to the world. An ox is the side of harsh judgment from adhesion of the side of holiness. When a donkey joins him, from the other side of the shells, they are two harm-doers to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two kinds of judgments: 1) A holy judgment, the dot of&nbsp;<em>Shuruk<\/em>, the left line before it has made a coupling with the right line. At that time, harsh judgment is extended from it, but not due to the flaw in it, but rather for lack of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;for clothing of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. 2) Judgment that is not holy, which is extended from the screen of&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>&nbsp;before the upper light has made a coupling with it. This is a real flaw, which diminishes the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first judgment is called \u201can ox\u201d of holiness, and the second judgment is called \u201ca donkey\u201d of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>74) Therefore, Shimon, the force of harsh judgment, was from the phase of ox kind. When they join together, the world cannot tolerate. This is why it is written, \u201cYou shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.\u201d This is why Jacob sent this thing to Esau, as it is written, \u201cI have oxen and donkeys,\u201d meaning that holiness has conquered them. If Jacob had not lowered himself, great dread would have come over Esau, since he was powerful enough to conquer those two judgments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>67)
