Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 276

Is This Connected to the Concept of “Self-Sacrifice in the Work”?

Yes, this is called self-sacrifice. What is self-sacrifice? We give up our “self,” which is called “the animate soul,” the person’s Nefesh. That is, we perform a restriction over it. All these verses should be translated into the concepts that we study in the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah or in The Study of the Ten Sefirot, and then we do not become confused. For example, “The Torah is sustained only in one who…” The word for “who” (Hebrew, “Mi”), means “Bina,” which means Malchut that rose to Bina. That is, there is a deeper inner interpretation to this.
