Part 3:

Baal HaSulam. Righteous and Wicked

1. S. (00:31) It is an article by Baal HaSulam from his manuscripts that came to us, you already checked it, we started it in the past with you, and we wanted to renew it, to read more text and get more discernments.

R. Okay, go ahead.

Reading (01:01 - 10:44) “Righteous and Wicked..” Twice

2. S. (10:58) There's an innovation here that calls an explanation because you usually learn that the purpose of creation is to do great to the created beings and it is expressed with adhesion, the essence of the purpose of creation is expressing adhesion?

R. Yes.

S. And here he expressed that there are two kinds of things: first adhesion, and then using, the righteous use the desire of the wicked, that the wicked could pull the abundance and the righteous keep the intention, and then you reach a purpose. So, supposedly, he divides the level of adhesion and the level of a higher one, so is this something?

R. Where is it written that you’re asking about?

S. He writes that “there are two kinds of rewards: first, the righteous reach adhesion, and then when they start using the sparks of the souls of the wicked and righteous of the whole world, present, past and future. And he corrects the righteous that are in him in order to bestow, then the souls of the wicked start opening their mouths and receive pleasures, and then a person becomes a vessel to receive pleasures. And he reaches his purposes that he is reaching adhesion and he has the souls of the wicked with the will to receive in him”.

R. Uh-hmm.

S. Then he writes, “then the souls of the righteous envy the actions of the wicked since they see the Creator’s desire to delight His creatures comes mainly through the actions of the wicked, for the actions of the righteous cause only adhesion”. So it’s like the righteous only cause Dvekut, and there's a high degree above Dvekut, so, it's very different but we used to learn until now?

R. “And since the righteous were already qualified in the work this way then the souls of the wicked from the degree of the righteous as they cannot receive for themselves but not in order to bestow as the deeds of the riches.”

S. So it's like Dvekut is a lesser degree, it’s like an intermediate degree before the purpose of creation?

R. Yes.

S. And we always learn that Dvekut is the final purpose, it’s the peak of our development?

R. No, Dvekut, adhesion, is the means of reaching the final state, but he writes about Dvekut, we read about this, not here, where he explains that the Dvekut is where the internality of the Dvekut is revealed and a person becomes perplexed, if you will.

S. In the Matan Torah?

R. Yes.

S. Maybe there's two types of adhesion?

R. No, no, no, it can’t be, it could be the same Dvekut but on higher levels, we will see this, we will see. Guys, I don't have what to explain here, there isn't, it’s, he writes the way he writes, we need to be impressed by it, and to try to reveal.

Reading (15:36 - 23:35) “The path of suffering is the private Providence and the path of the Torah is the Providence of reward and punishment”

[Reader: “I don’t have an extra part of the article, I’ll translate until I find the link”. “Again, this part isn’t translated, I’m going to do it live” “As it is explained, knowing and choice....” Twice

3. R. (23:40) Alright, we will try to read this in some other states, and for the time being, we will conclude.
