550) \u201cHonor your father and your mother.\u201d Honor them with all kinds of honors, delight them with good deeds, as it is written, \u201cThe father of the righteous will greatly rejoice.\u201d This is honoring one\u2019s father and mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
551) Honor the Creator, who is called \u201cyour father,\u201d and Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201cyour mother,\u201d with a clean garment, which is the wings of Mitzva<\/em>, meaning a handsome Talit<\/em> [praying shawl]. A Talit<\/em> with a Tzitzit<\/em> [fringe] is called \u201can instrument of Mitzva<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is written, \u201cHonor the Lord from your wealth.\u201d This is Torah and Mitzvot<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cLength of days on her right, wealth and honor on her left.\u201d A man is not poor unless he is of poor Torah and Mitzvot<\/em>, for man\u2019s wealth is Torah and Mitzvot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 552) For this reason, \u201cHonor the Lord from your wealth\u201d and do not engage in Torah to grow in it. We learn that you should not make them a crown by which to grow, and do not say, \u201cI will read so that my teacher will call me.\u201d Rather, as it is written, \u201cO magnify the Lord with me,\u201d and it is written, \u201cHonor the Lord from your wealth,\u201d as a son must honor his father and mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 553) This is so because he includes two drops, of which is man\u2019s body. The drop of his father becomes the white in the eyes, the bones, and the organs. The drop of his mother becomes the black in the eye, the hair, the skin, and the flesh. And he is raised in Torah and good deeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 554) A man must teach his son Torah, as it is written, \u201cYou shall teach them diligently to your sons.\u201d If he does not teach his son Torah and Mitzvot<\/em>, it is as though he built him an idol. This is why it is written, \u201cYou shall not make for yourself an idol.\u201d He will become a stubborn and rebellious son, despise his father and mother, and will steal several blessings from him. Because he is ignorant, he is suspected of everything, even bloodshed, incest, and idol-worship, since one who is ignorant, goes to a place where he is not known, and does not know how to bless, is suspected of worshipping idols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 555) \u201cHonor the Lord from your wealth,\u201d from your money, from your wealth, from your grace, meaning with the joy of a tune, for this is the joy of the heart. Like the tune throughout the world, which rejoices the heart, upright deeds of the son delight the hearts of his father and mother. \u201cFrom your wealth\u201d means from your money to all that is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 556) As one honors the Creator, one must honor his father and mother because they are in partnership with the Creator with regard to him. This is because there are three partners in a person: the Creator, his father, and his mother. His father and mother give him the body, and the Creator, the soul. As one should fear the Creator, one should fear his father and mother, and he should honor them with all kinds of honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 557) \u201cThat your days may be prolonged,\u201d since there are days above, HGT<\/em> NHYM<\/em>, upon which man\u2019s life in this world depend. These are the days of man in that world above: they all stand before the Creator and in them is man\u2019s life known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 558) \u201cIn the land which the Lord your God gives you\u201d is a promise to enjoy in the illuminating mirror. This is the meaning of the verse \u201cIn the land,\u201d a mirror that illuminates in those upper days, HGT<\/em> NHYM<\/em> of ZA<\/em>, which illuminate out of the fountain of everything, Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 559) What is the difference between those two Mitzvot<\/em> of the Torah, for in both of them, it is written, \u201cThat your days may be prolonged,\u201d in this one and in the commandment of sending off from the nest? Those two Mitzvot<\/em> are all hanging above: AVI<\/em> are \u201cremember\u201d and \u201ckeep\u201d as one, meaning ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>. This is why it is written, \u201cThat your days may be prolonged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the sending off from the nest, it is written, \u201cYou shall certainly send off the mother, but the young you may take for yourself.\u201d The mother is the upper world, Bina<\/em>, who is called \u201ca mother.\u201d It means that no permission was given to look at her, and she must be sent off from asking a question and looking at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 560) \u201cBut the young you may take for yourself,\u201d who are ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>. It is written, \u201cIndeed, ask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the end of the heavens to the end of the heavens.\u201d ZA<\/em> is called \u201cheavens,\u201d and there is a question and looking in him. But above the end of the heavens, from ZA<\/em>, you shall certainly send off of your thought to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 561) This is what \u201cIn order that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days\u201d is written about. \u201cIn order that it may be well with you\u201d is a place that does good to all, the hidden and concealed world, Bina<\/em>. \u201cThat you may prolong your days\u201d by yourself because it is in one\u2019s domain to cling to the sons, ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>, in which there is the prolonging of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 562) If an act of Mitzva<\/em> comes by his way and he aims in it, he is righteous. And even if he does not aim in it he is righteous because he keeps his Masters Mitzvot<\/em>, for Mitzvot<\/em> do not require intention. However, one who does not know and understand the reason is not as important as one who does His will Lishma<\/em> [for Her name] and aims in it with the desire to look at the glory of his Master, since the matter of Lishma<\/em> depends on the will. And with the act below, which he performs Lishma<\/em>, the deed above rises, meaning Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201ca deed,\u201d and becomes properly corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 563) As with the act of the body, the act of the soul is corrected by this will, since the Creator desires man\u2019s heart and will. And yet, if there is no desire of the heart there, which is the essence of everything, David prayed about it and said, \u201cAnd confirm for us the work of our hands; yes, confirm the work of our hands.\u201d This is so because not every person knows how to place the will and the heart to correct everything and to perform the act of Mitzva<\/em>. This is why he prayed this prayer, \u201cAnd confirm for us the work of our hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 564) \u201cAnd confirm for us.\u201d \u201cConfirm\u201d means set your correction above as it should be. \u201cFor us,\u201d although we do not know how to place the desire, but only an act. \u201cConfirm for us the work of our hands,\u201d to the degree that must be corrected, to Malchut<\/em>. \u201cConfirm\u201d means that it will be in a single bonding with the patriarchs, HGT<\/em> of ZA<\/em>, to be corrected in them through this act of Mitzva<\/em> as it should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 550) \u201cHonor your father and your mother.\u201d Honor them with all kinds of honors, delight them with good deeds, as […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":11434,"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":[28],"class_list":["post-11502","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
