However, they contradict one another. The discernment of the Creator is&nbsp;<em>Dvekut<\/em>&nbsp;[adhesion], and&nbsp;<em>Dvekut<\/em>&nbsp;means equivalence, being canceled from reality. (And one should always depict how there was a time when he had a little bit of&nbsp;<em>Dvekut<\/em>, how he was filled with vitality and pleasure, and to always crave to be in&nbsp;<em>Dvekut<\/em>, for a spiritual matter is not divided in half. Moreover, if this is something fulfilling, he should always have the good thing. And one should depict the time he had since the body does not feel the negative, but the existing, that is, states he had already had. And the body can take these states as examples.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Torah is called \u201cthe light\u201d in it. This means that during the study, when we feel the light, and want to give to the Creator with this light, as it is written, \u201cOne who knows the commandment the Master will serve Him.\u201d Hence, he feels that he exists, that he wants to bestow upon the Creator, and this is the sensation of oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when one is awarded the discernment of \u201cthe Torah and the Creator are one,\u201d one finds that all is one. At that time, one feels the Creator in the Torah. One should always yearn for the light in it; and the light we can with what we learn, although it is easier to find the light in words of Kabbalah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the work, they are two ends. One is drawn to the discernment of the Creator, at which time he cannot study the Torah, and he yearns after the books of&nbsp;<em>Hassidim<\/em>. Then there is one who craves the Torah, to know the ways of the Creator, the worlds, their processes, and matters of guidance. These are the two ends. But in the future, \u201cHe shall smite the corners of Moab,\u201d that is, they are both included in the tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I heard \u201cThe Torah and the Creator are one.\u201d Certainly, during the work they are two things.
