What Is Waste of Granary and Winery, in the Work?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I heard on the eve of Sukkot<\/em>, inside the Sukkah<\/em>, 1943<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A granary is male Dinim<\/em> [judgments], as in \u201chidden and not defiled,\u201d when he feels that he is in a state of Goren<\/em> [granary], meaning Ger<\/em> [stranger\/not converted] in the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A winery is female Dinim<\/em>, as in \u201chidden and defiled.\u201d Yekev<\/em> [winery] is considered Nekev<\/em> [foramen].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are two kinds of Sukkot<\/em>: 1) clouds of glory, and 2) waste of granary and winery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cloud is considered concealment, when one feels the concealment over the Kedusha<\/em> [holiness]. If a person overcomes the cloud, meaning the concealment that one feels, he is thus rewarded with clouds of glory. This is called MAN de Ima<\/em>, which applies during the six thousand years. It is considered a secret, for it still has not become a nature, called \u201cliteral.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the waste of granary and winery are called \u201cliteral and nature,\u201d which is considered MAN de Malchut<\/em>, corrected specifically through faith, called an \u201cawakening from below.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And MAN de Ima<\/em> is considered an awakening from above, which is not discerned as nature. This means that with respect to nature, when one is not ready to receive the abundance, he does not receive any bestowal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, from the perspective of the awakening from above, which is above nature, the light is indeed poured to the lower ones, by way of \u201cI am the Lord, Who dwells with them in the midst of their impurity,\u201d as it is written in The Zohar<\/em>, \u201cEven though he has sinned, it is as if he did not sin at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with an awakening from below, the light is not dispensed. Rather, precisely when one is qualified by nature\u2014meaning by himself, this is called MAN de Nukva<\/em>\u2014that he can correct through faith. This is called \u201cby himself,\u201d considered the seventh millennium, called \u201cand one is ruined,\u201d meaning that \u201cshe has nothing of her own,\u201d considered Malchut<\/em>. When this is corrected, one is awarded the tenth millennium, which is GAR<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a soul is found in one of ten generations. However, there is the discernment of the seventh millennium, from the perspective of the six thousand years, called \u201cparticular,\u201d as the general and the particular are always equal. But this is considered MAN de Ima<\/em>, called \u201cclouds of glory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the work is in the literal and nature, since in this work he no longer has room to fall lower down, since he is already placed on the ground. This is so because he does not need greatness because to him it is always like something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is, he always works as though he had just begun to work. And he works in the form of accepting the burden of the kingdom of heaven above reason. The basis, upon which he built the order of the work, was in the lowest manner, and all of it was truly above reason. Only one who is truly na\u00efve can be so low as to proceed without any basis on which to establish his faith, literally with no support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, he accepts this work with great joy, as though he had had real knowledge and vision on which to establish the certainty of faith. And to that exact measure of above reason, to that very measure as though he had reason. Hence, if he persists in this way, he can never fall. Rather, he can always be in gladness, by believing that he is serving a great King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the meaning of the verse, \u201cThe one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at dusk. \u2026 according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof.\u201d This means that that gladness that he had while he was sacrificing his sacrifice, when it was a morning for him, as morning is called \u201clight,\u201d meaning that the light of the Torah was shining for him in utter clarity. In that same gladness, he was making his sacrifice, meaning his work, even though for him it was like evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that even though he did not have any clarity in the Torah and the work, he still did everything gladly, since he worked above reason. Hence, he could not measure from which state the Creator derives more contentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the meaning of Rabbi Shimon Ben Menasia\u2019s saying \u201ca kind of matter.\u201d Matter means without reason and knowledge. \u201cAn ear that heard on Mount Sinai, \u2018You shall not steal.\u2019\u201d This means not receiving anything for oneself, but rather taking upon oneself the burden of the kingdom of heaven without any Gadlut<\/em> [greatness\/adulthood], but entirely above reason. And he went and stole some illumination for himself, meaning he said, \u201cNow I can be a servant of the Creator because I already have reason and knowledge in the work, and I understand that it is worthwhile to be the Creator\u2019s servant. And now I no longer need faith above reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He tells us about that, \u201cand he was sold to the court.\u201d \u201cCourt\u201d refers to man\u2019s reason and knowledge, which judge a person\u2019s actions, whether or not they are worth doing. \u201cSold\u201d means that he has become a stranger in the work of the Creator, that the mind comes and asks him the known question, \u201cWhat is this work?\u201d And it only comes from the side of stealing, having received some support to the faith. Hence, he comes and wants to cancel the support with his questions. But this is only for \u201csix,\u201d meaning \u201che was sold for six years,\u201d considered male Dinim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut if the servant shall plainly say, \u2018I love my master\u2026 I will not go out free,\u2019\u201d meaning he does not want to go out free without Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments], then the correction is \u201chis master shall bring him,\u201d meaning the Master of the earth, \u201cto the door, or to the door-post,\u201d meaning give him blockage over the reception of the kingdom of heaven. And \u201chis master shall bore his ear,\u201d meaning his ear is pierced. This means that another hole is made in him, so he will be able to hear once more what he had heard on Mount Sinai: \u201cYou shall not steal,\u201d \u201cand he shall serve him forever,\u201d and then he truly becomes a servant of the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sukkot<\/em> is temporary residence. This means that one who has already been awarded permanent residence and has nothing more to do, as with the matter of the first to count the iniquities, the advice is to leave for temporary residence, as when he was on his way to the house of God, before he arrived at the permanent residence. At that time, he constantly needed to reach the Creator\u2019s palace, and he had guests, when his work was in the form of \u201ca passing visitor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now he can extend from the past work, when he was always thankful and praising the Creator for the Creator always bringing him closer, and from this he had gladness. Now, on Sukkot<\/em>, he can extend the gladness he had then. This is the meaning of temporary residence. This is why they said, \u201cLeave the permanent residence and dwell in temporary residence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe learning is not what is most important, but the act.\u201d This means that an act is like a substance. Rabbi Shimon Ben Menasia was saying, \u201ca kind of matter,\u201d that the act is the most important, and the mind is but a kind of mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the act is considered animate, and the mind is considered speaking. The thing is that if there is wholeness in the act, then the act is so great that it brings with it the mind of the Torah. And the mind of the Torah is called \u201cspeaking.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
