“In truth, will is active, but a steady active state - it is a constant. Think of father and son. There is an essential oneness. The very reality that created the father is transmitted to the son.”
“Who You Got?” p75
AYIN BASE - REBBE RASHAB - with R’ PALTIEL
Sivan 5777
P 75 [of the new pamphlet] approaching the midpoint of the page, at the line starting “aval ha ratzon …”. [P 55 of the book]
Man can exist without love, but not without will/ratzon.
Will is beyond realization and identifying qualities. it is a direct result of the fact that we are alive.
Love is reflective of a personal experience - both from the side of the lover and the beloved - qualities and relationship are relevant… by contrast… will is independent of qualities and relationship…
On the one hand will is an active state, yet we cannot define anything that arouses it and what it is seeking…!
In truth, will is active, but a steady active state - it is a constant.
Think of father and son. There is an essential oneness. The very reality that created the father is transmitted to the son.
Man has a rich internal life, but he also exists in the general reality of the world… and it is the whole world, His creation, that is his setting… The father and son reflect this reality together… the reality of the son is a reflection of the realty of the father.
This is essence. Essence has only one source. That which God Himself provides.
Man wants [has ratzon] because he is real - he has this divine quality of reality.
