After all, we see that in nature, each and every one wants to grow and not be small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand this, we need to interpret this in the work. By nature, as long as one is immersed in the earth, he relinquishes any kind of&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>&nbsp;[greatness\/adulthood] and wants to remain in earthliness. However, there is a force from above called an \u201cangel,\u201d and an angel is a force that bestows and strikes him and tells him, \u201cGrow!\u201d In other words, it strikes him with its power of bestowal and tells him, \u201cGrow! Come out of your earthliness,\u201d although one is born with a desire to receive called \u201cearthliness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the will to receive is concerned, a person would remain in the earth and would never be able to emerge from earthliness. But the power of bestowal that exists in the world, called \u201cangel,\u201d afflicts him by not satisfying the will to receive. Thus, the afflictions he feels push him out of earthliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is as it is written, \u201cHappy is the man whom You afflict, Lord,\u201d for by the Creator sending afflictions into the earthliness, he has no satisfaction with earthliness, which pushes him to grow and emerge from the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It therefore follows that to the extent that one feels the beating, so he begins to grow and emerge from the earth. Otherwise, he would remain submerged in the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a beginning-of-the-month festive meal, February 15, 1972 \u201cYou have not a blade of grass below that does not have [&hellip;]<\/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-12217","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 307.
