“Body & Soul; Vessels & Light” p:58 - 59

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel 


Tuesday 29 Nissan, 5774

Page 58

At the lower paragraph of page – (line begins: "umi-atah...”) For text, click: Here.

Israel relates directly to essence. The angels relate to His name.

The Zohar seems to contradict this by saying that the angels praise Him and that Israel praises His name.

You want to go there, not for enhancement of yourself, but for the principle of being related to the Godly truth. There is no personal gain or enhancement.

The neshamah/soul wants the truth for its own sake. And it a Godly gift that there is a soul that relates to this. Even the animal soul can relate to 'truth because it is the truth' at its level.


So mesirat nefesh, is not just 'giving up the soul', but seeking of the higher level.

And there are 2 levels in 'giving up the soul'. One is the level of 'God is one' – there the infinite light is singular (even after the creation of the whole world) just as it was before the creation of the world. As it says, 'I God have not changed'. The Godly unity is unaffected by the creation of the world...
