Conversely, with love of the Creator, he benefits the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) We must give thanks and praise for the past because on this depends the future. That is, to the extent that we give thanks, to that extent we appreciate everything that we receive from above and know how to keep the help we receive from above so as not to lose it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) The heart of the work is to walk on the right line, meaning wholeness. That is, whatever grip we have on spirituality, we should be happy that the Creator has given us a thought and desire to do something in spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9) We should also walk on the left line. But for this, half an hour a day is enough, meaning to calculate how much he prefers the love of the Creator over self-love. To the extent that he sees the deficiencies, he will pray that the Creator will truly bring him closer, for specifically on two lines can one advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should make three discernments in the order of the work (<em>A Sage\u2019s Fruit<\/em>, Vol. 1, p 115):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) To yearn to complement one\u2019s soul and return it to its root. This is called \u201cthe quality of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) To understand the ways of the Creator and the secrets of Torah, for \u201cOne who does not know the commandment of the upper one, how will he serve Him?\u201d This is regarded as the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) To yearn to attain the Creator, meaning to cling unto Him with complete recognition, which is regarded as the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to strive for the commandment of the upper one, which is the middle line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article No. 46, 1990 1) To believe
