I heard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the verse, \u201cShe is like the merchant-ships; she brings her bread from afar,\u201d when one demands and insists, \u201cshe is all mine,\u201d that all the desires will be dedicated to the Creator, the Sitra<\/em> Achra<\/em> [other side] awakens against him and claims, \u201cShe is all mine,\u201d too. Then there is a tradeoff. A tradeoff means that a person wants to buy a certain object, and the buyer and seller debate its value, meaning each of them claims that he is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And here the body examines to whom it is worthwhile to listen: to the receiver or to the giving force. Both clearly argue, \u201cShe is all mine.\u201d And since the person sees his lowliness, that in him, too, there are sparks that do not agree to observe the Torah and Mitzvot<\/em>\u00a0[commandments] even as a dot on the iota, but that the whole body argues, \u201cShe is all mine,\u201d then, \u201cshe brings her bread from afar.\u201d This means that from the removals, when one sees how far he is from the Creator and regrets and asks of the Creator to bring him closer, \u201cshe brings her bread.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bread means faith. In that state one is awarded permanent faith, since \u201cGod has so made it that He would be feared.\u201d This means that all the removals that one feels were brought to him by the Creator, so he would have the need to take upon himself the fear of heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of \u201cMan shall not live on bread alone, but on what proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.\u201d This means that the life of Kedusha<\/em>[holiness] in a person does not come specifically from drawing closer, from entries, meaning admissions into Kedusha<\/em>, but also from the exits, from the removals. This is so because through the dressing of the Sitra Achra<\/em> in one\u2019s body, and its claims, \u201cShe is all mine,\u201d with a just argument, one is awarded permanent faith by overcoming these states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that one should dedicate everything to the Creator, that is, that even the exits stem from Him. When he is rewarded, he sees that both the exits and the entries were all from Him. This forces him to be humble, since he sees that the Creator does everything, the exits as well as the entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of what is said about Moses, that he was humble and patient\u2014that one must tolerate the lowliness, meaning that in each degree one should keep the lowliness. The minute he leaves the lowliness, he immediately loses all the degrees of Moses he had already achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of patience. Lowliness exists in everyone, but not every person feels that lowliness is a good thing. It turns out that we do not want to suffer. However, Moses tolerated the humbleness, which is why he was called \u201chumble,\u201d since the lowliness made him glad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the rule: \u201cWhere there is no joy, the Shechina<\/em> [Divinity] does not dwell.\u201d Hence, during the purification period, there cannot be the Shechina<\/em>, although purification is a necessary thing (like the lavatory: although one must go there, one is still certain that this is not the King\u2019s palace).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of Beracha<\/em> [blessing] and Bechora<\/em> [seniority], whose letters are the same [in Hebrew]. Seniority is GAR<\/em>, and the Sitra Achra<\/em> wants the GAR<\/em>, but not the blessings, since blessing is the clothing over the Mochin<\/em>. And Esau wanted the seniority without the clothing, but it is forbidden to receive Mochin<\/em> without clothing. This is the meaning of Esau\u2019s words: \u201cHave you not reserved one blessing for me?\u201d \u201cOne blessing\u201d means the opposite of blessings, meaning a curse. It is said about that: \u201cHe loved cursing, and it came to him, and he had no desire for a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I heard In the verse, \u201cShe is like the merchant-ships; she brings her bread from afar,\u201d when one demands and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6231,"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":[25],"class_list":["post-12938","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-baal-hasulam"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
