Visha Achas
- The soul cries to God – as
it descended from the highest heights of Divine consciousness, to the lowest
depths – that not only has she lost her love and passion for God, but furthermore
her body (animal-soul) have stolen her (heart,) and use, whatever emotions she
has, for stupid, foolish, narcissistic pursuits. Answers the prophet (Elisha) “Worry
not, all you need to do, is study Torah and do Mitzvos! for the light of God from
these lamps will shine and enlighten you – furthermore, once you realize you
are an empty vessel… devoid of content, of any higher reality; this broken-heartedness
will allow your innate Divine soul to shine!”
- Now the latter meditation –
namely, “You realize, you are an empty vessel devoid of content – of any higher
reality; this broken-heartedness will allow your innate Divine soul to shine” –
is even greater than the former (that Torah Study and Mitvos will bring Divine
light) for when one creates Teshuvah – a desire for Godliness (which comes from
the broken-heartedness) this means, that one touches the essence of God (the
darkness, higher than light – that can shine in any place.)
- In fact, this level (of
manifesting Divinity through humility) draws down an even higher light (than
through Torah and Mitzvos -as we know, the location of a Baal Teshuvah, is even
greater than a complete Tzaddik.)
- One may ask, how can the
infinite light of God descend onto the Jew (contained in such a tiny finite
being) and the answer is, as the Jewish soul comes from God, therefore it
contains – and can contain all.
- From above, all is given
(to the Jew.)
- There are infinite
dimensions to the Torah – so the Torah that was revealed – of-course, is on the
lowest dimensions (so it can come to us – yet it contains – in potential – even
the highest.)
- Similarly, when it comes to
Teshuvah (turning to God,) on a lower level, this may seem difficult; but
because, our essence is one with God, it’s instantaneous.
- When God gave the Torah He
said, “I am God your Lord,” in other words, through Teshuva He empowers that He
shall be your personal God (guide.)
- When Moshiach comes – our bodies will receive from God infinity, which will then in fact give to our souls.
