Since all this unification was arranged in the general\u2014from the highest point, Hochma\u2014there needs to be an awakening from the Rosh of the first light\u2014Hesed of ZA\u2014the first of the Sefirot of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>660) The portion, \u201cAnd you shall love\u201d is the beginning of the right, the Sefira Hesed, to love the Creator in love of bonding with Him. Right, Hesed, evokes love. One who loves the Creator, the Creator awakens His right toward him and accepts him with love. All the matters in the world depend only on the will, Ruach drawing Ruach and bringing Ruach, as it is written, \u201cIf He set His heart upon him, He will gather unto Him his spirit and his soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>661) When one evokes love for the Creator, awakening of the right, love, it awakens in three ways, as it is written, \u201cWith all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.\u201d Thus, there are three ways here. Do not say, \u201cEither this or that,\u201d for it is not written, \u201cOr in all your heart, or in all your soul, or in all your might.\u201d Rather, all are needed, heart, soul, and silver. Then the Creator evokes toward him His right hand and stretches it out to him, and He accepts him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>662) It is written about it, \u201cThe Lord says unto my lord: \u2018Sit at My right.\u2019\u201d King David said that in regard to his degree, the Malchut, when it connects to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 13 Mitzvot here in the right: \u201cAnd you shall love the Lord your God\u201d is one, \u201cWith all your heart\u201d is two, \u201cWith all your soul\u201d is three, \u201cAnd with all your might\u201d is four. \u201cYou shall teach them diligently to your sons\u201d is five, \u201cAnd you shall speak of them\u201d is six, \u201cWhen you sit in your house\u201d is seven, \u201cWhen you walk by the way\u201d is eight, \u201cWhen you lie down\u201d is nine, \u201cAnd when you rise up\u201d is ten. \u201cYou shall bind them as a sign on your hand\u201d is eleven, \u201cAnd they shall be as frontals on your forehead\u201d is twelve. \u201cYou shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates\u201d is thirteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>663) These 13 Mitzvot depend on the right, and the left is included in the right, and so it should be. Each time the left awakens, the right begins in it first. For this reason, if they are rewarded, the left is included in the right. And if not, the right is included in the left, and the left governs, as it is written, \u201c&#8217;If you walk in My statutes,\u201d writing \u201cIf\u201d in the beginning. In every place, the left awakens with love, in the right, and then its judgement increases, as it should be. So it should be everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>659) By right and left being included in the holy name in general, in \u201cHear O Israel\u201d and in \u201cBlessed
