Why does it write, \u201cAnd you shall eat and be satisfied,\u201d and then, \u201cAnd bless\u201d? Rather, even if a person eats as much as an olive, wishes for it, and regards that food as his main dish, he is considered full, as it is written, \u201cYou open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.\u201d It does not write, \u201cThe eating of every living thing,\u201d but \u201cThe desire of every living thing.\u201d This means that the desire that one puts into the food is called \u201csatiation,\u201d even when there is only as much as an olive before a person, but he has put into it a desire of satiation. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd satisfy the desire of every living thing.\u201d It writes, \u201cdesire,\u201d and not \u201ceating.\u201d This is why \u201cAnd bless,\u201d meaning that one must bless the Creator to give joy above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>500) \u201cAnd you shall eat and be satisfied\u201d means that a drunk is permitted to bless for the food. But in prayer, a drunk must not pray because the prayer is good without eating, since the prayer rises to a place in which there are no eating or drinking, to Bina. It is said about it that there are no eating or drinking in the next world, but in the rest of the degrees below, there are eating and drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>501) In the blessing for the food it follows that a blessing out of satiation is good because the blessing for the food is in a place where there is eating and drinking, in Malchut, from whom food and satiation come down below. For this reason, one should display satiation and joy before Him. But it is not so in a place where the prayer reaches because it rises higher, to Bina, where there are no eating or drinking. This is why a drunk will not pray a prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>502) A drunk is permitted to bless the blessing for the food, as implied in the text, \u201cAnd you shall eat and be satisfied, and bless.\u201d \u201cAnd you shall eat\u201d means eating. \u201cAnd be satisfied\u201d means drinking because one who is full of wine is satiated, and this is the drunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cAnd bless the Lord your God.\u201d \u201cThe\u201d implies Malchut, in whom there are eating and drinking. It means that the blessing for the food requires joy and satiation, from the words, \u201cUnto the good land.\u201d \u201cGood\u201d means satiation, as it is written, \u201cAnd we will be satisfied with bread and be well.\u201d This is why we need joy and satiation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>499) \u201cAnd you shall eat and be satisfied, and bless the Lord your
