Rebbe Mamer – Boi Quotes

Mamer Rebbe – Yud Shvat 5730

The purpose of the decent of this soul, is not to fix it up, for just as the Shechina (Divinity) descends, only to assist the person (to rectify, to elevate) the soul needs no elevation (rather the sole purpose of the descent of the soul, is to elevate, rectify, refine, the person.)

Notwithstanding this, the entire goal is this descent, for in reward, it gets elevated (as it has no revealed Divinity below.)

There are three levels to the soul – the essence of the soul is pure life, then there is the offshoot, as it gives life to the natural (intellectual) and animal soul, and then, as these two souls go within all the particulars of the person (similar to, as the body lives, and each part has its own uniqueness.)

When a person is praying and they find themselves getting distracted, they should awaken their righteous indignation – for the only reason, words of God have descended (for all comes from God, and these foolish thoughts that normally disturb them not, have come primarily now – the proof being, if one needed to go to sleep, these thoughts wouldn’t prevent them – so it’s like an antisemite trying to maliciously distract them) but by arousing one’s power / righteous indignation, and saying “I will not let kelipa (darkness) prevent Godliness” (and the only reason of the kelipah, is to overpower it) in this way we manifest the Divinity (which pushes out the negative.)
