And when a person passes away from this world, that Nefesh will never move from the grave, … (The Book of Zohar, “Lech Lecha,” Item 98)

The grave is the force of the quality of judgment that a person died from. “A person died” means a transformation of our egoistic inclination. What does it mean that we came out of the womb? We turned upside down, left all the previous egoistic calculations and started new ones, altruistic ones, and entered a new world.

In the spiritual world, as in our world, the embryo passes through a narrow passage. “Narrow” in Hebrew is “Tsar,” “Tsarot” (suffering). This is a result of the absence of the light of Hassadim when only the light of Hochma, a force without mercy, acts on a person to give birth to him.

Otherwise, he will not be able to pass through this narrow passage and be born in the upper world, because he himself does not have the strength to create a quality of mercy from himself.

Question: So he must necessarily experience these Tsarot, this hardship of birth?

Answer: There is no caesarean section in the spiritual world. You can be born there only by going through a state resulting from the light of Hochma acting upon you. This light is very sharp, very heavy, and complex.

This state is called fleeing Egypt. A person must go through it because the light of mercy, the so-called quality of Hasadim, does not come from above but develops from the person himself. But one is still unable to develop this quality, therefore only the light of Hochma affects him, which causes his birth. In spirituality this is called crossing the Final Sea (Yam Suf). This passage is very dramatic.

And if there is some malfunction in the wheel, the malfunction is not evaluated relating to the wheel itself, but according to its service and role with respect to the whole machine. (Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World“)

If any of us commits an immoral, improper act, if he causes society or nature harm, he actually causes harm to the general system.

We need to feel all of nature. Suppose I uproot a bush in my garden, I cause harm to the ecology of the world by that. So I can be approached and asked: “Why did you act this way?” or perhaps ask myself that.

This means that each one of us should feel the benefit or the harm we cause the surrounding society, the world, the universe, all the worlds. This feeling gradually develops in a person. When a person begins to feel the world around him and the mutual cooperation within it, they become higher than corporeal life and death. They feel the existence of the eternal upper. The meaning of the natural corporeal body decreases because they ascend above it.

We need to reach this level. The wisdom of Kabbalah demands a very serious attitude toward all of reality from us.
