"INTRODUCTION",
"\"The end of the matter, when all is heard, is to fear God and safeguard his commandments, for this is the entirety of man\" (Ecclesiastes 12:13). This verse was [written] by King Solomon, who was wiser than all men, and ruled the upper and lower realms (Megillah 11b). And after he saw all actions, and tested all things, and taught many wise things to the world, he concludes his whole [book] with the words, \"the ultimate matter is to fear of God\". Likewise, Proverbs (1:7) begins, \"Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge\", and ends (ibid. 31:30), \"A woman who fears God is the praiseworthy one\". If another man exhorted us to fear God - the world would not accept his words and would say, \"Since he has no other affairs, and is idle, therefore he exhorts the fear of God\". But Solomon was richer than all men, as it is written (Kings 1 10:27), \"And the king gave out silver in Jerusalem like stone\", and he was wiser than all men, as it is written (ibid. 5:11), \"And he became wiser than all men\". He was fit to say (Ecclesiastes 1:2), \"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity\", and that one should only toil in fear of Heaven. So too did Moses, the father of all wise men and prophets, say in the Torah (Deuteronomy 10:12) \"And now Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you? Only to fear the Lord your God\". So too did King David say (Psalms 111:10), \"The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God\".",
"Since we see that man is God's chosen creation of the lower world, that he is constructed in the image and form of God, more carefully created than than all created things, and that he has a soul that can understand the foundation of the upper and lower [worlds]; we [can] know that he is the matter of all [God's] intentions for this world, and that all things in this world were created for his needs. Therefore, man was given the true Torah, to teach us the proper way [of life]. For man is very beloved to God, as [seen from the fact] that the angels work [to fulfill] the needs of righteous men, as we know from Abraham and Isaac, and as Jacob said (Genesis 48:16), \"May the angel that that saves me from all evil bless the youth\", and as it is written (Hosea 12:5) \"and he strove with an angel and prevailed\", and as Daniel said (Daniel 6:23), \"God sent an angel, and he closed the mouths of the lions and they did not hurt me\". We find that angels also come to help the righteous, as it written (Kings II 19:35) And it was that night that an angel of God went out and struck the camp of Assyria\", and many similar [passages]. We also know that one have much more worth than another, to the extent that one man [can be] equal to many others. Even though they are all of one form and foundation, this man's soul has risen to great heights that are higher than that of his peers, because he made his wisdom rule over his desires, whereas the others let their desires reign over their wisdom, and go though their whole lives in darkness, groping like a blind man in the dark.",
"Man has five senses: ",
"1) The sense of hearing, ...",
"2) the sense of sight, ...",
"3) the sense of smell,...",
" 4) the sense of taste, ...",
"and 5) the sense of touch, that which one feels when using something.",
"These actions compose all of man's actions, and no action is done without one of these five senses. And the heart acts on them, because everything is brought to the heart with these five senses, and so every action and thought is drawn after them. The hear has many thought patterns, such as arrogance and humility, remembrance and forgetting, agony and happiness, embarrassment and insolence, and many more like these. And all of these though patterns draw strength from the five senses, for a blind man can not be as haughty as he would be if he could see.",
"Therefore, all [capably]-hearted men should try with all of their strength to attain the ultimate good; if one reaches a good [spiritual] level, he should always reach for the level above it, until he attains the ultimate good and gains the world of reward - i.e. the World to Come - with it. Kind David desired to attain the good of the world to come, saying (Psalms 31:20) \"How much is the good that You have hidden away for those who fear You\", and (ibid. 36:9) \"They will be filled with the fat of Your house, and they will drink from the brook of Your delights\". But this level [of reward] is only reached by the deserving, as [David] wrote, (ibid. Ch. 16) \"Who can live in Your tent and dwell in Your holy mountain, those who go [about] wholesomely and do righteousness...\", see further there.",
"And since we mentioned the value of the [spiritual] levels of man, we should explain their laudable and denigratable and good and bad [parts], until the path before the thinking one is clear and he can enter the King's courtyard; he will choose the good character traits with all of his strength, as he knows clearly what they are, discarding the chaff and taking the wheat.",
"How so? Some men are naturally angry and are always angry, while others are of a settled mind and only get slight angry over a period of many years. Some people are naturally lustful, and cannot be satiated from their pursuit of their desires, and some are very pure of body and don't even desire the little that the body needs. Some people are greedy and could not be satisfied by all of the money in the world (as [the verse] says (Ecclesiastes 5:9), \"One who loves money will never be satisfied by it\"), while others are content and find just a small amount sufficient, and do not pursue all of their needs. Some people will mortify themselves out of stinginess, and won't even spend a penny unless [to relieve] great suffering, while others knowingly abandon their money. And all of these ways and traits, such as the exuberance and mournfulness, miserliness and generosity, cruelty and compassion, cowardice and bravery, etc. -",
"- of all of these traits, some a person has from the moment of his creation as part of his physical nature, while others a person is predisposed to and will acquire them faster than other traits. Some are not intrinsic to a person; and he needs to be them by others, or he reflects on them due to a thought that came to mind, or he hears that that this trait is good and worth following; and he practices it until it becomes ingrained in his heart.",
"Some traits need to be used in most circumstances, where others need to be used [just] a little. This is comparable to one making a cooked dish - he needs vegetables, meat, water, salt, and pepper; but each of these ingredients need to be added according to the recipe, with a little of some but a lot of the others. If he puts in too little meat, it will be thin, and if he puts in a lot of salt, it will be inedible because it is too salty. So too for the other ingredients - if he puts in a lot when a little is called for, or vice versa, the food will be ruined; but [if he is] an expert [cook] who puts in the proper amount of every ingredient, the food will be pleasant- and sweet-tasting. So too by character traits: Some need to be used a lot (such as humility, shame, etc.), while some need to be used rarely (such as arrogance, insolence, etc.) Therefore, when man weights each trait on scales in order to to use each appropriately, no more and no less, this will enable him to attain the ultimate good.",
"Know very well that one who is predisposed or habituated to an evil trait, and instead of turning away from it continually becomes entrenched in it, causes himself to abhor and mock good traits. Just as too many aches, pain, and suffering are indicative of physical sickness, many bad character traits are indicative of spiritual sickness; so just like the physically sick may, depending on their illness, find the bitter sweet and vice versa, desire bad food and hate good food; so too the spiritually sick love evil and hate good, being too lethargic to pursue [good] because of the heaviness imposed by their sickness. So did Isaiah say (5:20), \"They say that bad is good and good is bad, consider darkness as light and light as darkness, and consider bitterness as sweetness and sweetness for bitterness\". They are called (Proverbs 2:13) \"those who leave the just path to go down the road of darkness\".",
"And how does one cure spiritual sickness? By going to the sages, the doctors of the soul, and learn from them until they return to a proper path. Those who recognize their evil traits and won't go to a sage to be cured of them - of them it is said (Proverbs 1:7): \"Wisdom and ethics despair of them\".",
"There are many people who wish to take hold of the proper path, but don't know what is good for them; they are set every day on attaining a very high level, but don't ever do so. This happens for two reasons:",
"1) They do not recognize their faults or examine their degrading ways. This is similar to [someone named] Reuben looking for [someone named] Simon, even though Reuben does not recognize him; Reuben will not find him even if he searches all day, because [even if] Reuben crossed Simon many times, he wouldn't recognize him. So too these people - even though they consider what they should be doing and seek good deeds, they won't attain [high levels] since they don't know their own faults.",
"2) They recognize their bad traits, and commit to getting rid of them and seizing good deeds instead, yet still never reach the proper path [in life] because they are too lazy to properly seek good character traits. This is similar to [when] Reuben recognizes Simon and looks for him, but still can't because he's not looking hard enough.",
"On this [the verse] says (Proverbs 10:20), \"The speech of the righteous is choice silver\". [Meaning,] if one borrows his fellow and repays him with silver by weight, if he does not know the accuracy of the silver and weights, or he knows but is not an expert in examining silver, he is open to being [monetarily] harmed via [bad] silver or weights. For sometimes, he will refuse silver and take dross [instead], or take a light weight, or put the silver on the heavy scale-pan; and all of these will lead one to err. Or even if he is an expert in silver and weights, if he doesn't look at it carefully, dross may be mixed in with his silver. But if he is an expert in both silver and weights, and looks at it carefully, then he will be paid his due, in full measures of pure silver. Therefore, the \"speech of the righteous\" is compared to \"choice silver\", because the righteous one needs to recognize good, evil, and all character traits; and he needs to properly observe and contemplate them, and to engage his body and wisdom in abandoning foolishness and grabbing understanding, and to remove any mixed-in dross from it, and then his soul will be purified and shine before God, as it is written, (Proverbs 25:4) \"Remove the dross from the silver, and a vessel will come out of the refiner\", by which it means that when you remove the dross, than the vessel will be pure.",
"Some have no fixed practices and are always changing them; at one time, they will adhere to one practice, and at another, they abandon that custom and adhere to a new one; and they repeat this process forever. This is like someone who wants to is trying to go to a city, but does not know the road and doesn't recognize the signs leading him there. Therefore, he is confounded by the road, first going one way, then repeatedly backtracking and mistakenly going on a different road. The wise man said about such [people] (Ecclesiastes 1:15), \"The toil of the fool who does not know how to get the city will exhaust him\". ",
"Therefore one should take pity those who are drowning in vain falsehoods, and teach them \"proper weights and measures and how to examine silver\", and instruct them in the ways of the upright, in order that the path that brings one to the fresh and fertile place of all good - namely, fear of Heaven, which is the end purpose of all actions - will be clear at the outset. This is the request that God asks from all people, as it is written (Deuteronomy 1:12) \"What does the Lord your God ask of you? Just to fear [God]\". And no action is of any consideration if it is [done] without pure fear [of Heaven].",
"Therefore all should be told that anyone who wants to bring his soul to [possess] good character traits needs to mix fear of Heaven into every [other] trait, for fear of Heaven is the knot that strengthens all of the other traits. It is compared to a thread that is threaded though the holes of pearls, and tied into knots on at the end in order to strengthen all of them; just as it is obvious that if [that] one knots is cut, all the nails will fall, so too fear of Heaven strengthens all of the traits, and if the knot of fear is cut, all of the traits will leave him. And when one does not have good character traits, he cannot have Torah and mitzvos, for the whole Torah is dependent on correcting one's traits. Specifically both the good and bad traits, the wise one can [use] the bad traits for good, and the fool [uses] the good traits for bad.",
"One who goes in the dark and does not contemplate fixing his character traits, it is possible that he will have a character trait that causes him to lose all of his merits. For example, [take] one who takes pride in his deeds, and always glorifies and beautifies himself with the denigration of his fellow, and takes honor from his ruin. Such a man is compared to one who fills a barrel with great wine, but the barrel has a hole at the bottom, and for whom it is certain that all of that great wine will be lost due to that little hole if he does not plug it. So too the self-aggrandizer; even if he is filled with Torah, he will lose it all through this bad character trait if he is not concerned with rectifying it.",
"Those who recognize the truth are few. Some don't have the wisdom to recognize it; just as an amputee is unable to climb a ladder, so too people who don't have discernment are unable to attain high levels of wisdom. Some are wise, but have been drowning in the desires of this world from their youth; they use all their wisdom to attain their lusts and do the will of the Evil Inclination, because they have been accustomed from their youth to [do] evil deeds until they are ingrained into his soul. Such a person will find it very hard to escape from the snare of [his] sins. Some have the wisdom to recognize [the truth], and also desire to go in the right path, but are not near the Sages [and so cannot] hear wisdom and proper conduct from them, and so go in the dark. This is comparable to one who as a treasure in his house, but does not know about it, and sells the house to another."

"Humility is a sterling trait, and it is the opposite of arrogance. And one who has this trait, his soul is already turned away from many types of evil. ",
"And one who has reached this wonderful height--the reward that he receives from a mitzva will be in proportion to his humility, because humility is the root of Divine service, and one insignificant deed of a humble person is received by Hashem--blessed be He--a thousand times more than an impacting deed of one who is full of himself. And so said the Sages (Menachos 110:11), \"Whether one increases or decreases [in mitzvos], [they are warmly accepted by Hashem], provided that he directs his mind to d it altruistically.\" ",
"However, the deed of an arrogant man is NOT warmly accepted by Hashem--blessed be He--because in fact, it is an abomination! It says (Proverbs 16:5), \"The abomination of Hashem is a lofty mind.\" And because of this, the arrogant one cries out, and is not answered, like it says (Isaiah 1:15), \"Even if you maximize your prayer, it is not heeded.\" And arrogant people do mitzvos and these deeds are shredded up before him, like it says (ibid. 1:12), \"Who seeks this from your hands?\" and (Jeremiah 7:21) \"",
"But by the trait of humility and timidity, you achieve all goodness, because (Proverbs 3:34) \"to humble people He will grant favor.\" And because the humble person has favor in the eyes of the Holy One--blessed be He--he can cry out be answered immediately, like it says (Isaiah 65:24), \"Before they call out I will respond,\" and they do mitzvos and these deeds are accepted warmlyand joyously, because it says (Koheles 9:7), \"Because G-d has already favored your acts\"--and He craves them, like it says (Malachi 3:4), \"And it is sweet to Hashem, the gift of Judah and Jerusalem.\" ",
"But what is \"humility\"? Humility is embarrassment and a low soul, and thinking of oneself as a nobody. And man is obligated at any given moment or period to be mocked in his own perspective, and of low spirit and soft-hearted and spirit-broken.",

"Giving is a trait by which a person can reach great [spiritual] levels. And when the giving is in the correct path--then it is very laudable, and through it he will reach many levels in This World and in the World to Come, as it is said: \"A man's gift will broaden for him, and will lead him to the great (mishlei 18:16).\" Because through his gifts, kings, officers, and every man will love him. and there is no thing in the world that brings man to love of this world like giving, and also in the World to Come he will receive a great reward due to his gifts.",

"\"So in a time of good fortune enjoy the good fortune; and in a time of misfortune, reflect: The one no less than the other was God鈥檚 doing\" (Ecclesiastes 7:14). This verse said King Solomon about what he saw, that all that was created in the world - everything is against each other. how? There is good in the world, there is evil against good. There is light in the world, against it there is darkness and gloom. In the world, there are days and rivers, against it there is land. There is a desert and there is a settlement. There are mountains and hills, there are ravines and valleys. And there is warmth and there is coolness. In this matter everything was created, and in each and every one there is good and evil in it. And every wise heart takes from each and every one what he enjoys. Such as: Light is better than darkness, but in darkness there is a good that at night there is rest for all to sleep, which is not the case during the day. And in the darkness a man fled from his enemies coming upon him. And in this matter there is in everything and anything, and everything is against each other. And man was created in this matter that all his virtues and methods - everything against each other, such as: pride and humility, grief and joy. And in every quality and quality - there is a side to it that distances it from the good and righteous way, and about this, it is said: \"Let the wicked give up his ways\" (Isaiah 55:7). And there is in every quality - a side in which the wise and educated approach to the work of Hashem. And for which we have seen that the sidelines are many in every quality, therefore we have come to order the measures in a short way, to make signs. And these signs shall be in your mouth, and you shall be accustomed to them. And if you are in a matter that will bring you to pride - remind yourself of these signs to humble your spirit. So that you will think: How proud were they in the world of pride and authority, and forgotten as if they were not, and where are they? Therefore stick to humility.",
"And if you are in a matter that will bring you to anger - you will remember these signs to remove anger from your heart. And if it is in a matter that will bring you to the love of this world - remind yourself of these signs to leave all loves, because everything is vanity and so on, and to grasp the love of God, because it is the chosen love.",
"And if you do any mitzvah - remind yourself of these signs that the mitzvah will do for the sake of heaven, to direct it with good intention. And if you are in a matter that will bother your heart to keep it away from the honorable name - remind yourself of these signs to convey the trouble, and bring your thoughts up together in your heart to God.",
"Pride - is a very, very bad quality. In the quality of pride, a person will forget the Great Name. For every mind that prides itself on growing and prevailing, and even when doing a mitzvah - thinks in its evil to receive praise from the world, and thinks in mind that all its success is due to its wisdom. And in the Torah he disagrees without her name, and does not confess the truth, and is ashamed to ask what he does not know. And brought about robbery and theft and excessive lust and all evil, and forget the name. And boasting contemptuously to every man, and honoring their disgrace. All in all: in the proud heart there is a great open gate, to put in it the evil instinct to confuse the thoughts, and he who does not go up in his heart to close this evil gate - will be lost from the next world.",
"Therefore the educated man will be very careful of the pride, that he will not be proud - neither in his body nor in his hair, nor in his head nor in his throat, nor in his hands nor in his feet, nor in the smell of his nose nor in his tongue, nor in his food nor in his clothes. And he shall not boast in his heart, \"Every haughty person is an abomination to the LORD\" (Proverbs 16: 5). And this is a great thing, which at the heights of the heart is called \"abomination to the LORD,\" and blessed is the man who will feel in this thing, to understand this great punishment for such a light thing. Many fail at this, and the educated will flee for their lives not to be called \"abomination.\" This name is very ugly, and you know it.",
"And even though pride is bad, even the most mitzvah for a person to have his clothes clean, and his food clean, and all his vessels clean, and we sent clean, and his body clean, because the splendor of the Torah - this is the cleanliness. And all this will be directed to heaven. And also to the world he will raise his soul up, and will always resent his soul as little as he does little of the work of God. And he will be careful to prove the many, and to stand against the wicked and humiliate them according to his ability, and to announce their abomination in order to stay away from them. And though this thing seems like pride, even the most should do so, but will be directed to heaven. And at first he will see that he will not be spoiled in the war of the wicked, that his reward will not come out in his loss. And one should ask for mercy on it and so on in it, that the name may guide in the right way.",
"Humility - is the root of the work and the main thing for any good deed. And the humble act is acceptable before the name. And what is humility? Let it be in his eyes and think of himself as nothing, and humble and lowly, and a spirit broken. And while he is healthy and while he is living in goodness - he will think that God has done him good in most of his graces and that he is not worthy of that goodness. And the poor will also think of the little he has - which is not worthy of even that little, for what has he to count more than one mosquito, but that the name has done with him before the law. And thank him for his goodness, and bow down to him.",
"And think the greatness of God, and all the good deeds he can do - are not but a drop in the ocean against what he must do. And will be humble and lowly before all, even before the very little ones. And will hold every man better than he, and will not feel the honor of receiving praise from human beings. And will not feel the contempt he will be despised but will rejoice in the contempt and think he deserves it. And will be evident in the six signs of humility, and they are: (A) forgiveness during anger; (B) and matters of praise and contempt - that everything is equal in his eyes; (C) and justify the law at the time of loss, and humble oneself at the time of the abundance of good in wealth and sons and in wisdom; (D) and to depart from himself and appease the one who has wronged him; (E) and behave in a soft response; (F) and be happy in his portion. But he will not be humble before the wicked in the words of Heaven but will rebuke them according to his power. And will not show the degree of humility in the eyes of those who dress to deceive of the world, who will be thought to be pious, and does evil in secret and steals public opinion.",
"Shame - the shy one is not quick to sin because of shame, and out of not being her name, he will eventually do for her name. But the supreme virtue is to be ashamed before the name. And he achieved this matter in solitude to think of the greatness of the name. And instead of a mitzvah, he shall remove the shame from his face, that he shall not leave any mitzvah for the shame. And this shame is very bad: if he leaves the mitzvah for the shame, or if he does not ask what he does not know because he is ashamed. And will not shame any man except in the matter of rebuke, if he does not accept at ease.",
"Boldness - this quality is very bad to dare his face against his proving or to deny with a loan and a deposit, and so on. But it is good to dare against the wicked not to confess their lies, and not to agree with them, and to dare to keep the mitzvot.",
"Love - this quality is bad in most places, and it sterilizes all good qualities: love of wealth, and love of women, and love of mother and father, brother and sister, and relatives and spouses, and love of body and days of life, and love of honor, and love of pleasures like eating and drinking and sleeping, and all garments Delivers man not to do good. And most of the world will fail in them, and many will fall and not rise. But whoever wants to be strengthened in his passion - will be able to overcome and do all these loves for the sake of heaven, and blessed is he who receives it. And a man should leave all loves and cling to the love of the Blessed Creator, for this love is paramount to all virtues. And because man is clothed in the body, and imprinted in the darkness is the world that is falsehood and lies - therefore it is very difficult to achieve. And love is that he will love a great and very great love, until his soul is bound with joy, and flee from his heart the pleasures of the body and the pleasure of this world. And love is strong and overcomes his heart, and all the pleasures of this world - all as nothing against the force of the reinforcement of the joy of the love of God. And not every sage receives this love. And it is a known and clear thing, that it is not love that binds in the heart of man until he leaves everything in the world except Hashem.",
"Hate - this is a bad quality: he who hates his friend, and he who hates good deeds. And one has to be very careful not to hate people, and many fail at that. But it is good to hate everything that moves him and keep him away from the love of the Creator, and to love everything that will bring him closer to the work of the Holy One.",
"Cruelty - this is a bad quality, because those who have this quality will not pity the poor, and they avenge, and guard against enmity, and steal and steal, and will not pity, and torture an orphan and a widow.",
"But against the wicked - be cruel. And be cruel on his body to toil with Torah and Matzah, and also for his sons to be cruel so they will toil to engage in Torah and mitzvah like a sage. And all to an equal extent according to ability.",
"Compassion - this is a very good quality, to have mercy on the good poor, and to have mercy on the beasts, and to have mercy on himself and his sons, and love them for their right to eternal life. But he will not have mercy on the wicked or have mercy on his body and his sons, who do not toil in Torah and mitzvot.",
"Worry - this is a very bad quality for the body, and worrying about this world to achieve its lust - it is very bad. And it's worse to worry about transgressions. But worry is good to worry about the minority of his comprehension in Torah and mitzvot and to worry and fear lest he forgets his study, and always review. And will not worry or be afraid of anything that is prevented from worshiping Hashem. And always worry about his troubles, and worry about what will bring future calamities to the world, and worry that what he eats is the reward of his good deeds in this world. And always worry that his actions are not acceptable before Hashem. And always worry and be sorry on the honor of Hashem, and the honor of the Torah, and the honor of Israel which diminished. And for the poor, he should always worry.",
"Joy - this is a good quality for the body and illuminates the face of a person. And whoever does a mitzvah with joy - he has a great reward without measure, from his good deeds which he will do with joy: to entertain hymns, and to praise with joy, and to accept all his events with joy. And rejoice in the Sabbaths and good days in the joy of the Blessed One, and rejoice in the heart of the poor and the eater. But joy is not good to rejoice in vanity, and to rejoice in transgressions, and to rejoice in the hand of men or to rejoice in the fault of men. But he will be happy with his portion and will be happy with the work of Hashem and the Torah."
