Anyone who walks in the ways of Torah, the Creator brings upon him the pleasantness of the Shechina, never to part with him. \u201cAnd all her paths are peace\u201d are the paths of the Torah, since all the paths of the Torah are peace\u2014peace for him above, peace for him below, peace for him in this world, and peace for him in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>184) There is an inner secret in this verse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>185) This verse is in two manners and in two discernments, since ways are written in it, and paths are written in it. Also, pleasantness is written in it and peace is written in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>186) \u201cHer ways are ways of pleasantness,\u201d is as it is written, \u201cWho makes a way in the sea,\u201d for wherever the Torah writes, \u201cway,\u201d it is a road open for all. So are her ways. They are ways that are opened by the patriarchs,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>, who dug in the great sea,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and entered it. And they are the paths that develop to each side and to all the directions in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>187) Pleasantness is pleasure that emerges from the next world,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and shines to all the lights,&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>. They spread in all directions, to the right and to the left, and that good, the light of the next world that the patriarchs\u2014<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>\u2014nurse, is called \u201cpleasantness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next world is called \u201cpleasantness,\u201d since when the next world awakens to bestow, every abundance, joy, lights, and the freedom of the world awakens. This is why the next world,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, is called \u201cpleasantness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two points in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>: 1) The one that is sweetened in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and is called a key, and 2) The unmitigated one, which is called a lock. Hence, there are two names to&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>: 1) When she is established from a key she is called \u201cway\u201d or \u201croad.\u201d 2) When she is established from a lock she is called \u201cpath\u201d or \u201croute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is said that in all the places that are called \u201cways\u201d in the Torah, it is a road that is open for all, since it is established from a key, which receives all the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, called \u201cpleasantness,\u201d and is open to impart them to all the lower ones. This correction, to be fit for reception of the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, was made out of her ascent to&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, called patriarchs. And she is established there, the fourth of the patriarchs. This is why it is considered that the patriarchs established this&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, called key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ways are open by the patriarchs,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>\u2014who were mining in the great sea and entered it\u2014correct her into being their&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the fourth of the patriarchs. This correction is called mining and digging because by that they make her a receptacle for the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, which are called \u201cpleasantness,\u201d as it is written, \u201cThe well, which the princes dug,\u201d which are&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, and it is written, \u201cWhich the nobles of the people delved,\u201d meaning&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>188) When the Sabbath begins, all the wicked in hell rest and they have joy and rest on the Sabbath. When the Sabbath ends, we should evoke the upper joy to be saved from the punishment of hell, since from that time onwards they are sentenced. We should evoke and say, \u201cAnd let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us,\u201d which is to return and to extend the upper pleasantness, which is the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, meaning the joy of everyone. This is why it is written, \u201cHer ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>189) Her paths are the paths and routes that emerge from above, from&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, which are the lock. And they all receive a single covenant, called \u201cpeace,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, peace at home. It brings them to the great sea,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, when it is in force, meaning when the great sea is only as left and in judgments, meaning a frozen sea. Then, by the force of the screen of&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>&nbsp;in the middle line, it enhances the right over the left and they are mingled in one another, and then the waters open. This is considered that it makes peace, and then it gives him peace, as it is written, \u201cAnd all her paths are peace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>183) \u201cHer ways
