Aeter with R' Paltiel 8/30/09 Sunday 10 Elul 5769 Page: Pay
Page Pay – 5 lines from the top.
We went over the two levels of romemus. The connection between the melech and the am is facilitated by malchus.
Sechel is a perception of reality itself – and if the middos are affected by this sechel then this gives them a true basis. A king is only involved in true things – things of significance. The people gain a purpose by being connected to the king – and secondly the people become the melech, without consciousness of a personal agenda.
There are traffic lights and traffic rules. From the people's perspective this is so people don't crash. From the king's perspective this must be an orderly functioning country.
The people are lifted up to the level of the king, beyond having an orderly country. What is the concept of order? Order is that two people don't bump into each other – there are multiple things. At the king's level there aren't multiple things – there is just the king.
Why should a person put on tephilin? He could say I have a direct conection – but this is really a disconnect. The only way for us to connect directly to the king is by the means that he provides. He wants us to build a dirah be tachtonim – if you say I'm above that, then it is just your personal preference.
How is the dwelling place made below? It is done by the people accepting what the king wants, doing the work/avodah of establishing the dirah according to the king's instructions. Our personal Amalek, says okay, I'm also something, what about me? Through the first step of bitul the people ultimately connect to the king.
The bitul starts on an external level – without the king, I'm nothing. And it develops from there. We put on tephilin – it is a physical action, which in the physical realm makes absolutely no sense – this is what the king wants and this is how we connect to the pnimius/inner aspect of the king.
The king's presence does not depend on a metziut, although people can only relate to that garb.
Why not be butel to Hashem himself? What is the role of the king? As much as we take on ol malchut shamayim we are on the threshold that this bitul will become yeshus.
