You are He whose Unity is infinite and absolute, and therefore indivisible. You are He1 the First Cause, transcendent beyond all that is above, and concealed behind all that is concealed. No thought whatsoever can grasp You. But You are He who brought forth ten rectifications - we call them the ten sefirot Atzilut - with which to regulate2 the powerful illumination of Your Light that flows down through hidden worlds that are not revealed3t he worlds of Adam Kadmon and Atzilut, as well as worlds that are revealed4 Beriya, Yetzira and Asiya. Indeed, it is through these5 the ten sefirot of each universe that You are hidden from human beings6 so they can exist and not be overwhelmed by Your Light. You are He who binds them7 sefirot together and unifies them8 to Yourself. And inasmuch as You are within them, anyone who separates one from the other is regarded as having caused a separation in You9 and Your Absolute Unity.", "You also arranged15 a system of three lower worlds, Beriya, Yetzira, and Asiya, that serve as \"garments\"16 to further cover over the sefirot of Atzilut and protect us from the intensity of Your Light . It is from these \"garments\" that the souls17 Neshama, Ruach and Nefesh of human beings originate.18 The sefirot of Atzilut are clothed within these \"garments\", and for this reason . They are called19 \"limbs\" of a \"body\" relative to the \"clothes\" that cover over them. These20 limbs are arranged as follows: chesed (or loving-kindness) is the right arm, gevura (restraint) is the left arm, and tiferet (harmony) is the torso. Netzach (dominance) and hod (empathy) are the two legs, and yesod (foundation or channel) is the body's extremity, the sign of the Holy Covenant. Malchut (kingship) is the mouth20 of the holy covenant. It is therefore called the \"Oral Torah\".", "21 Above these \"limbs\" is the \"head\" in which chochma (wisdom) is the22 right brain, the seat of thought, and bina (understanding) is22 the left brain and the heart, the heart's ability to discern. Concerning these, it is written, \"The hidden things belong to G‑d 23 corresponding to chochma our G‑d24 corresponding to bina\". (Deut. 29:28). Keter Elyon (Supernal Crown) is the keter of malchut, concerning which it is said, \"I25 G-d declare the end from the beginning\". (Isaiah 46:10).26 Keter surrounds and contains the two hemispheres of the brain, chochma and bina, like the leather box of the Tefillin27 that surrounds and contains the parchments . Within27 this unified system of \"limbs\" and \"head\" which constitute one \"body\" or \"tree,\" is the Divine Name \"spelled-out\" with alefs, i.e. Mah, thus: Yud-vav-dalet = 20, hei-alef = 6, vav-alef-vav= 13, hei-alef= 6.28 With this name You determine the way29 in which Your Light is transmitted through the sefirot of Atzilut. This name therefore fills and saturates30 the \"roots\" and the \"trunk\" of the \"tree\" of the sefirot, together with its \"limbs\" and \"branches\", as water irrigates and saturates a tree. It31 the \"tree\" then grows in proportion to how much \"water\" flows through it.", "Eternal Hidden Master of the worlds, You are the Supreme Cause of all causes and the Origin of all effects! You water the tree with that flow. And that flow is the very life-force of the \"tree\" - like a soul to a body. But no \"human\" likeness or \"bodily\" image exists in Your Infinite Essence with which we might liken You to anything within or without. You alone created the starry galaxies and the earth. From the galaxies above, You brought forth sun and moon, planets and starry constellations. On the earth below, You brought forth trees and plants, the Garden of Eden and31 fields of grass, living creatures, birds and fish, animals and humanity. Through them32 through all that exists Below , You make known that which is Above, 33You also make known how all that is above34 in Atzilut and below35 in Beriya, Yetzira and Asiya is regulated, and how the higher worlds may be known from the lower. But knowledge of Your Essence is completely impossible." ], [ "\n“…For my head is drenched with dew….” (Song of Songs 5:2). What is “drenched with dew”? And the Holy One, Bless be He said, you may think that, from the day that the Holy Temple was destroyed, I entered my house and dwelling place, but it is not so. I will not enter as long as you are in exile. Here is your sign, “My head is drenched in dew”. הא is the Shechinah in exile, her completion and her life is “dew” טל, which is יוד-הא-ואו and the letter values sums up to 39 טל, dew. It fills up the Shechinah from the source of all the supernal emanations. The Faithful Shepherd immediately rose with the holy patriarchs along with him. Up to this point is the secret of the unification. From here on the first portion of the concealed Torah." ] ], "sectionNames": [ "Daf", "Paragraph" ] }
