\u201cThe Creator observed the works of the righteous and the works of the wicked, and did not know which the Creator wanted, whether their works\u201d\u2014when he says, \u201cAnd the Lord saw the light, that it was good, and divided\u201d\u2014it means the works of the righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We should understand how there can be doubt and say, \u201cHe does not know what the Creator wants.\u201d Is it conceivable that the Creator wants the works of the wicked?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the explained rule, that before one is rewarded with emerging from self-love, while he is still controlled by the will to receive, all the good deeds that a person does, if he wants to aim in order to bestow, he sees that the body disagrees with it because it is against its nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It follows that in every single act that one does in Torah and Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments] he has tremendous efforts because the bad in him resists it. At that time, that state is called \u201cthe works of the wicked,\u201d when the bad is still within him and overcomes him every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But afterward, when he is rewarded with correcting the evil in him and becomes righteous, his works are effortless because the bad in him no longer objects to his aiming all his actions in order to bestow, since he implements \u201cAnd you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,\u201d with both your inclinations. It follows that his works are called \u201cthe works of the righteous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the question is, Which does the Creator want? That which a person labors and must constantly exert. It follows that the person shows his effort, meaning that a person does according to what he is. But with the works of the righteous, he no longer has any effort. Instead, at that time he is in a state of peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, the question, Which does the Creator want, whether the work where a person exerts or the work of the righteous, although then he has no labor, as it is written in The Zohar<\/em>, \u201cIn a place where there is labor there is the Sitra<\/em> Achra<\/em> [other side],\u201d meaning that as long as one has not corrected the evil in him to be good, he has labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, he brings evidence from \u201cAnd the Lord saw the light and divided,\u201d meaning the work of the righteous, since from the Creator\u2019s perspective, the goal is for the created beings to attain the thought of creation, which is to do good to His creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, since it is impossible to obtain this without equivalence of form, when a person engages in equivalence of form he has labor. This is from the perspective of the Creator. However, for man\u2019s part, he should always yearn for labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, when one is rewarded with Dvekut<\/em> [adhesion] with the Creator, there is no Sitra<\/em> Achra<\/em> and no labor. At that time, a person should yearn for labor. However, at that time he cannot have labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, the advice for this is as it is written in The Zohar<\/em>, that his fear is from the past (\u201cIntroduction of The Book of Zohar,\u201d Item 118), meaning that when he has no work and labor, he must yearn for labor from the time when he was in a state of the works of the wicked, and then he has wholeness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cThe Creator observed the works of the righteous and the works of the wicked, and did not know which the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-11169","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
