668) The love of the Creator, when a person loves Him, awakens only from the heart, since the heart is the place of the awakening, to evoke love toward Him. Therefore, why is it written, \u201cWith all your heart,\u201d and then \u201cWith all your soul\u201d? It means that they are two manners in love, one in the heart and one in the soul? And if the heart is the important one, what is the need for a soul? But the heart and the soul are two that unite into one, for heart, soul, and silver all unite in one another, and the heart is the primary and the foundation of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
669) \u201cWith all your heart [with a double Bet in \u201cheart\u201d in Hebrew],\u201d that is, with two hearts, which are two inclinations\u2014the good inclination and the evil inclination. Each is called \u201ca heart\u201d\u2014one is called \u201ca good heart\u201d and the other is called \u201ca bad heart.\u201d This is why it was written, \u201cWith all your heart,\u201d and does not write, \u201cWith all your heart [with a single Bet],\u201d for it implies two, which are the good inclination and the evil inclination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
670) \u201cAnd with all your soul.\u201d \u201cWith all\u201d comes to include NRN, all that this soul holds. \u201cAnd with all your might.\u201d \u201cAnd with all,\u201d since there are also several kinds of silver here, which are different from one another: silver, gems, etc.. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd with all your might,\u201d meaning all his possessions, since the love of the Creator is to give all that to Him, and to love Him in each and everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
671) How can one love the Creator with the evil inclination? After all, the evil inclination slanders so one will not approach the work of the Creator, so how can one love the Creator with it? But the work of the Creator is more important when this evil inclination surrenders to Him and the person breaks it. This is the love of the Creator, for one knows how to bring the evil inclination into the work of the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
672) This is the secret for those who know the judgment: Anything that the Creator does above and below is only to show His glory, and everything is for His work. Who has seen a slave slandering his master, that in all that his master wishes, he becomes a slanderer so they will not do his master\u2019s will? The Creator\u2019s will is for people to always be in His work and to walk by the path of truth to reward them with much good. And since this is the Creator\u2019s will, how can a bad servant come and slander his master\u2019s will, deflecting people toward the bad way and deviating them from the good way, making them not do their master\u2019s will and deflecting people to the bad way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
673) Indeed, he certainly does his master\u2019s will. It is like a king who had an only son, whom he loved dearly. For his love, he commanded him to stay away from an evil woman because anyone who approaches her is unworthy of entering the king\u2019s palace. That son promised to do his father\u2019s will with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
674) Outside the king\u2019s house there was a harlot of beautiful appearance and beautiful form. One day, the king said, \u201cI wish to see my son\u2019s desire toward me.\u201d He summoned that harlot and told her, \u201cGo and seduce my son, to see my son\u2019s desire toward me.\u201d The harlot followed the king\u2019s son and began to embrace him and kiss him and seduce him with all sorts of seductions. If that son is decent and keeps his father\u2019s commandment, he rebukes her, does not listen to her, and repels her from him. Then his father is happy with his son and brings him into his palace, giving gifts and presents and great honor. And who caused all that good to that son? It is that harlot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
675) Does that harlot get any praise for all that or not? Of course she is praised in every way: 1) For having done as the king commanded; 2) for having caused all that good to that son, all that love of the king toward him. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd behold, it was very good.\u201d \u201cIt was good\u201d is the angel of life. \u201cVery\u201d is the angel of death, who is the evil inclination, who is certainly very good for one who keeps his master\u2019s commandment. Were it not for that slanderer, the righteous would not have inherited those high treasures that they are destined to inherit in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
676) Happy are they who meet this slanderer, and happy are all those who did not meet this slanderer. Happy are those who met him and were saved from him, for thanks to him they inherit all of that good and all those refinements, and all those adorable things of the next world, of which it is written, \u201cNeither has the eye seen a God besides You.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
677) Happy are those who did not meet him, who did not fail in him, for because of him they would inherit Hell and would be expelled from the land of the living. This is because those wicked ones who had met him would listen to him and follow him. Hence, the righteous should be grateful to him for thanks to him they inherit all the good, the refinements and those adorable things for the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
678) What is the point of the slanderer when the wicked ones listen to him? 1) Even though he is useless, he is still performing his master\u2019s commandment. 2) When he intensifies because of it, for because he is evil, he becomes stronger when evil is done, the evil does not intensify until he kills a man. Once he has killed people, he becomes stronger, increases in his power, and has contentment. In this way, that slanderer, the evil inclination, the angel of death, does not strengthen until he incites people and slanders them and kills them. Then he has contentment and he strengthens and increases his power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
679) As the side of life strengthens when people are good and walk by the straight path, this slanderer strengthens and intensifies when the wicked listen to him and he governs them. Happy are those who are rewarded with defeating and subduing him, to be rewarded with the next world thanks to him. And the man always strengthens in the holy King, as it is written, \u201cHappy is the man whose strength is in You; in whose heart are the highways,\u201d happy are they in this world and in the next world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
