March 1980<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written in The Zohar<\/em> about the verse, \u201cThis is the constitution of the Torah,\u201d why it is written, \u201cAnd this is the Torah.\u201d It explains that \u201cand this\u201d means unification of general and particular together. \u201cAnd\u201d is regarded as Zeir Anpin<\/em>, which is general, and Malchut<\/em> is the particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, \u201cthis\u201d without the added \u201cand\u201d is the constitution of the Torah, which is Malchut<\/em>, called \u201cconstitution.\u201d It comes from Zeir Anpin<\/em>, who is called \u201cTorah,\u201d and not the Torah itself, which is Zeir Anpin<\/em>, but only the judgment of the Torah, the decree of the Torah, which is Malchut<\/em>. This is what is explained in the Sulam<\/em> [Ladder commentary on The Zohar<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n We should understand why Zeir Anpin<\/em> is called \u201cgeneral\u201d and Malchut<\/em> is called \u201cparticular,\u201d and why Malchut<\/em> is called \u201cjudgment\u201d and \u201cthe decree of the Torah.\u201d The thing is that it is known that the heart of the work is faith, meaning above reason. We must go above reason because there was a judgment on Malchut<\/em>, called \u201cwill to receive,\u201d that it is forbidden to receive in order to receive because there must be Dvekut<\/em> [adhesion], which is equivalence of form. Otherwise, there is separation. Hence, wherever there is a lack of Kedusha<\/em> [holiness], it is because there is judgment on this place, meaning a prohibition on self-reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When one takes upon oneself the burden of the kingdom of heaven above reason, there is no room for reception there. This is called \u201cthe decree of the Torah,\u201d since the receiver cannot agree to work above reason, for man\u2019s view asserts that one must not make a single move without profits. When one wants to walk on the path of truth, meaning only in order to bestow, the body disagrees with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, he must take upon himself the work in this manner only above reason, and this is called \u201cparticular,\u201d and this work is regarded as \u201crighteousness,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd he believed in the Lord and He regarded it for him as righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, once he has taken upon himself the work above reason, he is rewarded with the quality of the Torah. Torah is regarded as \u201cgeneral\u201d because it contains two things\u2014faith and Torah\u2014for it is forbidden for idol-worshippers to learn Torah, as it is written, \u201cThey have not known the ordinances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, the first quality with which one must be rewarded is faith. Afterward, he comes to the quality of the Torah, and this is called \u201cThe unification of Zeir Anpin<\/em> and the kingdom of heaven,\u201d male and female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When one engages in acceptance of the burden of the kingdom of heaven, he is still deficient. However, when he is rewarded with the quality of the Torah, he is called \u201cmale\u201d because the Torah bestows upon him the light of Torah, and then there is no longer judgment because he can already work in order to bestow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By this we will understand what is written in The Zohar<\/em>, that a red cow is called Malchut<\/em> in the first state, called \u201cthe left line of Bina<\/em>,\u201d meaning that it is complete with respect to Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is called \u201cin which there is no flaw and on which a yoke has not been placed.\u201d He interprets there that \u201cyoke\u201d means Hesed<\/em>, and this is why there is a need to burn the cow, which is regarded as the diminution of the moon, and she is rebuilt into the second state, and in the second state is all of her existence\u2026 (in the Sulam<\/em> [Ladder commentary on The Zohar<\/em>], Item 20).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 1980 It is written in The Zohar about the verse, \u201cThis is the constitution of the Torah,\u201d why it is written, […]<\/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-12518","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
