GOD
G-d is everywhere.
THE WHOLE
The Torah was given (similar to as the world was created) in a general principle (for example, the letter alef represents G-d, as does the word anoichi – the first of the Ten Commandments represent Judaism (belief in God) as does the first, two commandments (not to worship anything foreign) Then the Torah divides into the specifics – but the ultimate intent is through our study of Torah and observance of mitzvos (especially Chassidus) we reach the fundamental primordial source – a source in which anyone (following Torah) will be given infinite (Torah.)
Vikebel hayehuidim 5711
ABOVE/BELOW
After Matan Torah, G-d caused, that when we do a Mitzvah, spirituality and the physical object merge.
MITZVOS
There are three reasons why Mitzvos were given: a. they refine us (transform our animal to Divine characteristics) b. they connect us (to our Creator) c. by doing them, we fulfil God’s will (like a humble soldier.)
TORAH
There are three levels to Torah: a. that it is God’s wisdom (descended to be understood, through myriad descents) B. that through studying Torah, you connect to God, C. that (as the Zohar teaches) God and Torah are actually one.
TORAH STUDY
Whenever we are free, learning Torah is our duty.
TORAH STUDY
When we learn Torah, as we love it, then we have no limits (in our learning.)
GOD WITHIN
The greatness of God, is not in the ability to abrogate but (though beyond reality) to integrate.
MESIRUS NEFESH
The way to access God is through Mesirus Nefesh.
TORAH
The goal of learning Torah is for God and you to unite.
PURIM (BEYOD SELF)
The Mitzvah to get drunk on Purim, mirrors the Avodah of mesirus nefesh, in which we are willing to forgo our body.
PURIM
Through the Mitzvah of getting drunk on Purim – going beyond the body – the subsequent Torah achieves a level in which we reach the infinite – essential core Divine – in which through the Torah, God, and man and Torah are all one.
