1-2) \u201cTrust in the Lord <\/strong>forever and ever<\/strong>, for the Lord is God, an everlasting rock.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cTrust in the Lord\u201d means that all the people in the world should strengthen themselves in the Creator and have confidence in Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, what is \u201cForever and ever\u201d? One\u2019s strength should be in a place of persistence and connection of everything, and this is called Ad<\/em> [and ever], which is ZA<\/em>. This \u201cAnd ever\u201d is a place that unites to this side and to that side, which is the middle line, which unites the right and the left in each other, to persist and to connect, so the two lines will persist and their illuminations would be permanently connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) \u201cTrust in the Lord forever and ever.\u201d<\/strong> In all of man\u2019s days, he needs to strengthen himself in the Creator. One who puts his trust and strength appropriately cannot be harmed by any person in the world, for anyone who places his strength in the Holy Name persists in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15) \u201cA Psalm of David. The land is the Lord’s, and all it contains; the world and those who dwell in it.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cThe land\u201d is the holy land of Israel, which is destined to be watered by the Creator and to be blessed with Him first. And from it, the whole world will be watered. \u201cThe world and those who dwell in it\u201d is the rest of the lands, which drink from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24) \u201cAnd the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament.\u201d<\/strong> The wise are those sages that have observed sublime things of their own, of whom people cannot speak aloud for their great height. They are the ones called \u201cwise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

31) This is why the way of the righteous<\/strong> is that it seems as though they speak to a person, but they raise their words to the Creator, to keep, \u201cI have set the Lord always before me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

32) How dense are people for not knowing and not observing why they are in the world. After all, when the Creator created the world, He made man in His image and established him with His corrections, to engage in Torah and to walk in His ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

61-63) How do all the days of the year render healing to all the organs? After all, <\/strong>Malchut<\/em><\/strong>, the year, has nothing of herself? On the contrary, the organs, which are the general, are the 248 pipes of abundance of ZA<\/em>, and they impart everything to <\/strong>Malchut<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong> This is certainly so above, in ZA<\/em>, and below, in man. The year and its days, which are its Sefirot<\/em>, give healing to all the organs above, in ZA<\/em>, and below, in man, since the organs impart abundance of blessings for the days of the year, which are the Sefirot <\/em>of Malchut<\/em>, the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each positive Mitzva<\/em> that a person keeps, he extends abundance of blessings from an organ, a pipe of ZA<\/em>, unto one of the days of the year, which is the individual. And then healing and life hang upon us from above until the organs are filled with all the perfection, imparting them upon the individual, which is the year. At that time, the Mochin <\/em>of the individual appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who caused the organs to be filled with all the perfection? The days of the year, since the organs came to complement it. If the year did not need correction, the organs\u2014which are ZA\u2019s<\/em> pipes of bounty\u2014would not be filled with abundance. This is why it is regarded as though the days of the year gave healing and life to the organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so it is below. When a person complements himself in these 248 positive Mitzvot <\/em>in the Torah, there is not a day that does not come to be blessed by man. And when they are blessed by him, then life and healing hang over him from above, meaning they do not extend to Malchut <\/em>before a person completes all 248 positive Mitzvot <\/em>to the fullest. And until then, they hang over him from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who caused the pipes above to be filled with healing and life? It is the days of the year. This is why it is regarded as though the days of the year gave them healing and life. As the days of the year are blessed from above, from man, which is ZA<\/em>, they are blessed below, from the lower man, through the Mitzvot <\/em>that he observes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy are Israel in this world, in those Mitzvot <\/em>that they keep, for this is why they are called \u201cman,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd you … are men.\u201d This means that you are called \u201cmen,\u201d and the idol worshippers are not called \u201cmen.\u201d And because Israel are called \u201cmen,\u201d they should exert in the Mitzvot <\/em>of the Torah, which are 613, corresponding to the 248 organs and 365 tendons in a man\u2019s body, which are all one body, man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

81) In an awakening from below, when Israel awakened to the Creator and cried before Him<\/strong>, it is written, \u201cAnd I have remembered My covenant.\u201d Then the desire awakened to tie everything into one connection. Since the covenant, Yesod <\/em>de <\/em>ZA<\/em>, awakened, the connection of all the Sefirot <\/em>to ZA<\/em> awakened. \u201cAnd I have remembered My covenant\u201d means connecting him to Malchut<\/em>. This is why it is written, \u201cTherefore say unto the children of Israel, \u2018I am the Lord,\u2019\u201d that all the Sefirot <\/em>connected in a single connection to redeem Israel from Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

89-90) \u201cKnow this day and take it to your heart that the Lord, He is God.\u201d<\/strong> It should have said, \u201cKnow this day that the Lord, He is God,\u201d and in the end, \u201cAnd take it to your heart,\u201d since knowing that the Lord is God qualifies him to respond so to the heart. And if he has already responded to his heart, it is especially so if he already has knowledge. Also, it should have said, \u201ctake it to your heart\u201d [with one Bet<\/em>] instead of \u201cheart\u201d [with a double Bet<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heart with a double Bet<\/em> means that the good inclination and the evil inclination, which reside in the heart, have mingled in one another and they are one. \u201cAnd you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart\u201d means with both your inclinations\u2014the good inclination and the evil inclination, so the bad qualities of the evil inclination will become good, meaning he will serve the Lord with them and not sin through them. Then there will certainly be no difference between the good inclination and the evil inclination and they will be one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you will find that the Lord [HaVaYaH<\/em>] is God, that the quality of Din<\/em>, called \u201cGod,\u201d is included in HaVaYaH<\/em>, which is the quality of Rachamim<\/em> [mercy], since they have been included in one another, as the evil inclination and the good inclination were included in the heart, and it is one. Thus, we can know that the Lord is God only by taking it to the heart. This is why the text places \u201cTake it to your heart\u201d first, to thus know the matter of the Lord being God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

176) When the friends are on the way, they should go with one heart. If there are wicked ones walking among them or people who are not from the King\u2019s palace, they should part them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

183) \u201cHer ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cHer ways are ways of pleasantness\u201d are the ways of the Torah. Anyone who walks in the ways of Torah, the Creator brings upon him the pleasantness of Divinity, so it would never leave him. \u201cAnd all her paths are peace\u201d are the paths of the Torah, since all the paths of the Torah are peace\u2014peace for him above, peace for him below, peace for him in this world, and peace for him in the next world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
