Having Him in the world

AiynBase with R' Paltiel 11/26/09 Thursday 9 Kislev 5770




Middle of page one – line starts, “hachet”.


The effect of tshuvah is that the situation will revert to its original state, and higher than that.


The ratzon that was withdrawn; Hashem made the world and each person, why does he want each person? He has 613 reasons – these are the 613 mitzvot. If there is a blemish, then one of the reasons is missing – there is a lack of G-dly life flow.


Here the life flow is not existing. The chassid who was blessed with long days, wanted to make sure they were G-dly days filled with awareness of Him. To get this life the neshamah must be connected with elokus.


Logical proof that He created the world is not a connection. A direct neshamah experience of the G-dly in the wold is the connection – a recognition of the inyan eloki in the world and in his life.


Doing mitzvot is to connect to and represent Him, who is commanding us. Tshuvah returns us to Him.


In this lower world, there cannot be a primary ratzon; wants in this world are to satisfy something that is missing. Nothing has its own essential state of being.



But mitzvot are representative of the baal haratzon himself – this is where world connects to Him. Why not connect to him directly? If we did we would cease to exist. Connecting through mitzvot allows for the miracle of 2 opposites – you have Him and yet the world remains a world. The platform for doing mitzvot is not world it is atzmus.
