When he is whole with his Master, no person in the world can harm him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>53) What is, \u201cTrust in the Lord and do good\u201d? In the awakening below, the action of the upper one awakens. \u201cAnd do them\u201d is seemingly, \u201cYou will do them,\u201d since in your awakening, which you do below, there is awakening above. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd do good.\u201d Also, there is no good but the righteous,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cSay that a righteous is good.\u201d Since you do it, this good will certainly awaken above. And then, \u201cDwell in the land and cultivate faith,\u201d and it is all one, since land and faith are both&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>54) \u201cDwell in the land\u201d is the upper land,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, since no one in the world who can dwell with her until that good,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, awakens to her. This is because&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;without&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;is filled with harsh&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>. Since man awakened him through his good deeds, it is as though he did it. And then, \u201cDwell in the land,\u201d dwell within it, in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and eat its fruit and play with it. \u201cAnd cultivate faith\u201d means land,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cAnd Your faith in the night,\u201d in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. \u201cAnd cultivate faith\u201d means lead her wherever you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>55) If you do not awaken&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;opposite her, the good,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, departs him. And then, do not approach her, do not approach the burning furnace, for without&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, she is as full of&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;[judgments] as a furnace. If you approach her, you should be fearful as one who fears death, for then she is a burning fire and she burns the world with her flames. And since he evokes good opposite her, dwell in her and you will not fear her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>56) The faithful ones lead&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;according to their wish everyday. She observes what they command. The faithful ones are the ones who evoke good, meaning&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, opposite her, by giving alms and by not sparing what is theirs. They know that the Creator will give them more, since&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;evokes blessings opposite it. And one should not say, \u201cIf I give this now, what will I do tomorrow?\u201d Rather, the Creator will give him endless blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You May Use Them as Slaves Forever<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>57) This is why it is written, \u201cAnd if you say, \u2018What shall we eat on the seventh year,\u2019\u201d it is written, \u201cThen I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall yield the crop for three years.\u201d It should have said, \u201cYield,\u201d with a&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;[in Hebrew]; what is \u201cYield\u201d without a&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>? The&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, is removed from yielding, since&nbsp;<em>Shmita<\/em>&nbsp;and rest apply in her and she does not do work, as it is written, \u201cSee that the Lord has given you &#8230; on the sixth day,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, \u201cThe bread of two days.\u201d Similarly, it is written, \u201cThen I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth
