End of Rosh<\/em> Hashanah<\/em>, September 30, 1981<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malchut<\/em> of the upper one becomes a Keter<\/em> to the lower one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The still, in itself, has wholeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vegetative must have a place in which to annul inside the still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterward, it can grow in the Masach<\/em> [screen] that comprises love and fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove\u201d and \u201cfear\u201d are regarded as two angels serving a person in order to achieve the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning the AHP<\/em> into ten Sefirot<\/em> is called \u201cten days of repentance\u201d [Ten Penitential Days].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is still that has a vital force, but all are unable to make any individual movement. Rather, they have a general movement. Those who want to be in the quality of \u201cvegetative\u201d must put an end on the \u201cstill,\u201d meaning they do not want to accept the reason that vitalizes the \u201cstill of Kedusha<\/em> [holiness],\u201d which is the quality of going by rote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that the only thing that obligates a person to walk in the path of the Creator is the environment, that the environment brought him up to behave in this manner, namely as it obligates him. But for themselves, they have wholeness, called \u201cthe whole of Israel,\u201d and a surrounding [light] shines in them, called \u201cillumination from afar.\u201d That is, although they are remote due to disparity of form, a general illumination nonetheless shines in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one who puts a stop on it and does not want to follow the collective, but wants to be a \u201cvegetative,\u201d to have his own movement and not be dependent on the general public, when he is a Sof<\/em> [end], called \u201cMalchut<\/em> of the upper one,\u201d regarded as the previous state becoming Keter<\/em> to the lower one, this end that he puts on the \u201cstill\u201d is the root to entering the next degree, called \u201cvegetative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As there cannot be any growth until the seed rots and disappears in the still, so he should be lost in the \u201cstill,\u201d meaning not to feel his own existence, namely not to feel any vitality in the \u201cstill.\u201d One who sets a place for his prayer, at that time, individual movement begins to grow in him, called \u201cvegetative.\u201d However, in order for a plant to bud, there must be plowing and other works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Masach<\/em> at the Rosh<\/em> [head] contains love and fear. This means that by having a Masach<\/em> and raising Ohr Hozer<\/em> [Reflected Light], he calculates that however much he can receive in order to bestow he will receive, and the amount of abundance that if he receives it, he will not be able to aim to bestow, he will not receive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must know the meaning of Ohr Hozer<\/em>. According to what is explained in The Study of the Ten Sefirot<\/em>, since he feels great pleasure in wanting to bestow upon the Creator, and at that time he sees what can be said, that with this action that he will do, he will be able to delight the Creator, he sees that since the purpose of creation is to do good to His creations, therefore, when he receives the pleasures of the Creator, he thereby delights Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is called \u201creceiving delight and pleasure in order to bring contentment to his Maker,\u201d and this is called \u201clove.\u201d Out of the love of the Creator, he receives the pleasure, and the part that the Masach<\/em> said not to receive\u2014since he does not want to be far from the Creator due to disparity of form\u2014is called \u201cfear,\u201d as explained in the Sulam<\/em> [Ladder commentary on The Zohar<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this we understand what is written in The Zohar<\/em>, \u201cMy name with Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em> is \u2018Do not do.\u2019\u201d He is afraid to receive, so as not to become separated from the Creator because of disparity of form. This is the large part that the Masach<\/em> cannot receive in order to bestow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em> is considered GAR<\/em>, and that light is called Ohr Makif<\/em> [Surrounding Light]. The small part that he does receive is called Ohr Pnimi<\/em> [Inner Light], and this is why it is called \u201cThis is My memory, with Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em>, it is the 248 \u2018to do,\u2019\u201d which is what we should receive. This is called \u201clove.\u201d However, on the part that he cannot aim in order to bestow, there should be fear that he might not be able to aim in order to bestow and might come into disparity of form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
