2. Everything that the Creator created in His world, He created only for His glory, as it is written, \u201cAll that is called by My name, and which I have created, formed, as well as made for My glory.\u201d The Creator created the man in the world and placed in him His name, HaVaYaH, the bottom Hey, man\u2019s soul. Vav is His spirit; the first Hey is man\u2019s soul; Yod is Neshama to His Neshama, and He called them Yod-Hey, father and mother, Vav-Hey, son and daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Similar to the way He created Ruach and Nefesh of holiness, He created Ruach and Nefesh from the left side, the beastly Ruach and Nefesh. Similar to the way that wine stands on its yeast, the noetic Ruach and Nefesh, those of holiness, stand on the beastly Ruach and Nefesh. She is called beastly because she is from the side of Sam and the serpent, male and female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ruach is from the side of Sam, and the Nefesh is from the side of the serpent. He said about this that king Solomon said in his wisdom, \u201cWho knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, which goes down to the earth?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.The Creator does not give His name to the side of impurity, as it is written, \u201cI am the Lord; this is My name, and I will not give My glory to another, and My praise to carved images.\u201d \u201cI\u201d implies the verse, \u201cEven I will chastise you.\u201d Malchut, the quality of judgment, is called \u201cI.\u201d HaVaYaH [the Lord] implies the quality of mercy, ZA. \u201cWill not give to another\u201d implies another God, as it is written, \u201cYou shall not bow to another God,\u201d on the side of impurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Rabbi opened and said in the meaning of HaVaYaH. Yod is called by an example; this is Elimelech, meaning Elimelech implies the Yod of HaVaYaH, Neshama to Neshama. Hey is called by an example; it is Naomi, for Naomi is called the first Hey of HaVaYaH, Neshama, Bina. Why is she called Naomi? As it is written, \u201cAnd the Noam [pleasantness] of the Lord will be upon us.\u201d Bina is called \u201cthe pleasantness of the Creator,\u201d Vav-Hey are called by example; it is Ruth and her husband. Ruth is the bottom Hey; her husband is from a window, Vav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Ruth, who is the bottom Hey, Malchut, inverted her name from Ruth to Tor, as it is written, \u201ca turtledove [Heb: Tor] and a nestling.\u201d It is also written, \u201cMy dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the steps, show me your looks, let me hear your voice, for your voice is pleasant and your looks are lovely.\u201d Thus, Malchut is called \u201cdove,\u201d \u201cturtledove.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. It is written, \u201cAnd establish the work of our hands for us.\u201d This is the deed that a person does. If they are good deeds, the Lord [HaVaYaH] will be on him. If not, the Lord will depart from him, as it is written, \u201cWomen\u2019s wisdom built her home, and folly in her hands will ruin it.\u201d \u201cWomen\u2019s wisdom\u201d is the Neshama and the Nefesh, which are females. Folly is the Nefesh of the left, called Orpa. And her husband, Kilayon [annihilation], is the Ruach of the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. \u201cShow me your looks.\u201d When a person is made from a drop in his mother\u2019s placenta, as he grows, the Creator instills in him Ruach and Nefesh bit by bit, and a candle is placed on his head at night, as it is written, \u201cWhen His lamp shone upon my head.\u201d \u201cAnd a pillar of light by day,\u201d as it is written, \u201cBy day, in a pillar of cloud, to guide them on the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire, to shine for them, to walk day and night.\u201d It is also written, \u201cFor a candle is a commandment and the Torah is light.\u201d Malchut, which governs at night, is called \u201cA candle is a commandment,\u201d and ZA, who is called Torah, who governs during the day, is called \u201cand the Torah is light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. \u201cAnd he is taught the whole Torah.\u201d He is taught all the commandments, and he is told, \u201cSee that this is a winding road, called \u2018night,\u2019 and in that place, all the souls of people will ascend, as it is written, \u2018small and big are there, and a slave is free from his master.\u2019\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. He is shown in the pillar of fire that is on his head, several bears and leopards, lions, and sabotaging angels sitting there, and there is a dog there. David said about that, \u201cSave my spirit from the sword, from the hand of a dog, my only one.\u201d That place is darkness, and sabotaging angels call it \u201cnights.\u201d It was said about that, \u201cafraid at night.\u201d They are called \u201ctruly nights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11. He is told, \u201cIf you are rewarded with commandments, each and every commandment, a good angel will be made of it for you. When you come to that place and you are rewarded with commandments, they will say, \u2018Heap it up! Heap it up! Make way, pick up the stumbling block from the way of so and so,\u201d and sabotaging angels will not govern you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12. Similarly, in the day, we say, \u201cIf you are rewarded with the Torah, every letter will be an angel who will help you in that place.\u201d The Torah is called \u201cway,\u201d \u201cwalk in this way, so you are not governed.\u201d It is written about that, \u201cto guide them on the way.\u201d Afterwards, he will be shown the Garden of Eden, and each and every part that is in it for a righteous in itself, and he is sworn to observe the whole Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13. Afterwards, he will be told, \u201cAnd the Lord said to Abram, \u2018Go forth from your land, from your kindred, and from your father\u2019s house, to the land that I will show you, and I will make you into a great nation.\u2019\u201d The soul is called Abram, Av [father] to the spirit, and Ram [high] to the body. \u201cGo forth from your land\u201d is the Garden of Eden.\u201d \u201cFrom your kindred\u201d is the abdomen of the flesh and blood mother, who is called \u201ckindred.\u201d \u201cAnd from the house\u201d is the Shechina [Divinity]. \u201cYour father\u2019s\u201d is the Creator, since his father is none but the Creator, and his mother is none but the assembly of Israel, the Shechina. \u201cTo the land\u201d is the bottom world. He is given seven blessings that are said above, from the word, \u201cAnd I will make you\u201d up to \u201cwith all the families of the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. If a person is rewarded and becomes a righteous, and knows the name of the Creator, what will he be told when he departs from the world? \u201cDo not fear the fear of the night, they will lift you up in their hands, lest your foot stumbles on a stone.\u201d From the stone of the winding road, your foot, until, \u201cbecause he knows My name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15. If the person is not rewarded with the Torah and good deeds, when he departs from the world, he will enter the way of darkness, and anyone who is in that place will be shaken and say, \u201cIs this Naomi, the soul that went in that place filled with abundance, filled with Torah, to whom the pillar of cloud shone in that place to walk by day, and the pillar of fire shone for her to walk in that place at night, and who was with her husband Elimelech, Neshama to Neshama?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16. The soul replied and said, \u201cDo not call me Naomi; call me Marah [Heb: bitterness], for the Lord has made it very bitter for me, bringing me in a bad body. I went full in that place, and the Lord returned me empty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17. At that time, she says to the two souls, the noetic soul called Ruth, and the beastly soul called Orpa, \u201cReturn, my daughters,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, \u2018Return, my daughters.\u2019\u201d Ruth, a holy soul, replies and says, \u201cBut Ruth replied, \u2018Do not urge me to leave you or to turn from following you, for wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay, I will stay.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18. But Orpa, the soul from the left, the beastly soul, parts from the soul and goes to the body and mourns it, as it is written, \u201cHe feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.\u201d As long as she mourns for him, the body says to the beastly soul, \u201cBecause of the eating and drinking that you gave me, the soul is in great grief, and without Torah and without commandments. Take what you have given me,\u201d and the body is cracked open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
