251 - Through wars that is division

Know that through wars that is division [conflict or dispute], through this fall thoughts of wicked ones on fit people, that is thoughts of heresy [unbelief or atheism], that fall upon them through this. And the repair to this to deliver the war to Hashem that Hashem will fight the war, through this nullifies thoughts of wicked ones the above. But know that through charity of them there is power in their thought to exist even if he delivers the war to Hashem, because there are charities that wicked ones give, because we find that even kings of idolaters give charity and do good, as it is written "To favor the poor gathers it" [Proverbs 28:8] (as Rashi interpreted, see there). And know that man of truth, that is that he does commandments in completeness and in all the details between him and his Creator as he is precise to do the commandment before people, that this aspect of truth, that all is one to him between when he does commandment before Hashem and between when he does before people, this the man of truth, has power to draw to himself all the charities, because these charities the above that they do, it stands far from them and is not with them, because the way of charity to draw itself to truth. And because they are far from truth, the charity far from them. And this the man truth draws to himself all the charities because charity is drawn only after truth. And this aspect "And charity stands from afar because truth has stumbled in the street" [Isaiah 59:14], that is that charity stands from afar, this because truth stumbled in the street, because because there is no truth, therefore charity far from them as above. And this what is written "And charity will be for us because we guard to do all this commandment before Hashem our G-d as He commanded us" [Deuteronomy 6:25], that is when we will have aspects of truth that is to guard to do all the commandments before Hashem alone in all the details, as he does before people that this aspect of truth as above. And this "because we guard to do all this commandment before Hashem our G-d as He commanded us" before Hashem our G-d precisely, that is that we guard to do all the commandments before Hashem alone, between us and our Creator in all the details and the particulars as He commanded us that is in all the details as the Name blessed be He commanded us, that is aspect of truth the above that also when he does the commandment before the Name blessed be He alone he is precise in all the details and so forth as above. And then "And charity will be for us" for us precisely, that is that we draw to ourselves all the charities because the way of charity to draw to truth as above. It is found when this man of truth draws to himself the charities then they have no power the charity and no power in their thought to exist as above. And what charity is drawn to truth because charity is aspect of truth (see Zohar Emor 9a) because truth is one because one is only one because before one what are you counting (Sefer Yetzirah) and if there is second etc it is not one and similarly the truth is only one because when they say on some thing the truth it is impossible to say because if one, that is the truth as it is but lie it is possible to say on one thing many things (as explained in another place above in sign 51, see there) because on vessel silver it is impossible to say the truth because if one that is that it is vessel silver alone but if he wants to say lie, he can say many because he can say that it is vessel gold or copper or other names and similarly in all the things in the world, it is impossible to say the truth because if thing one as it is but the lie is the many as above it is found that truth is one (and see there more wondrous things from the matter of truth that it is one see there) and therefore Holy One blessed be He and Torah and Israel all one because the Name blessed be He truth and His Torah truth and Israel truth and since all truth, all one because in truth there is no change as it is written "I Hashem have not changed and you house of Jacob have not ceased" [Malachi 3:6] because the Name blessed be He is truth and He is one without change, G-d forbid, as above and the change is only with the recipients because according to the recipient so is formed with him the change but the Name blessed be He no change in Him, G-d forbid and this aspect of sun because the sun is only power one alone and the changes are the many changes are formed through the sun like to melt and to freeze to cool and to heat and other powers (as explained in another place) and this is only because of the recipients like when the sun comes on wax melts it this because the wax is not hard in truth and therefore is formed with it the power to melt, and similarly in other powers but the sun is only power one alone and this aspect of charity, that is aspect of sun aspect of truth as above "And will rise for you fearers of My name sun of charity" [Malachi 3:20] and this that said our sages, of blessed memory "Like the blackening of olives to sons of man, once a person needs the creatures his face changes to several colors" [Berachot 6b] for through charity come several changes and all is only because of the recipients but the charity that is aspect of truth aspect of sun as above is only power one alone, and no change in it as above and the change is only with the recipients that their faces change to several colors and there is that his face changes because of greatness that he has in that he is not worthy that he needs the creatures and there is because of smallness on that he needs the creatures and there is that his face changes because of joy, that he is joyful that they give to him and also in this there are changes because there is one who is very joyful on that they give to him it is found that the changes is only with the recipients each one according to his aspect so their faces change as above but the charity is only power one alone because it is aspect of truth, aspect of sun and therefore draws itself to truth as above and Jacob that is aspect of truth as it is written "Give truth to Jacob" [Micah 7:20] is said about him "And the sun rose for him" [Genesis 32:32] that is aspect of and charity will be for us the above because sun is aspect of charity as above "And sun of charity will rise for you fearers of My name" that is that Jacob through the truth had power to draw and to shine for himself all the charities, that they are aspect of sun and this "And the sun rose for him", for him precisely, aspect of "And charity will be for us" as above. In the Gemara [Yevamot 96b]: a deed that they divided in the house of study until a Torah scroll was torn because of them and he said: I wonder if this house will not be idolatry. It is found that through division is made idolatry and heresy. And this is what is written "Who devise evils in heart every day they gird wars" [Psalms 140:3] that through the wars, that is division, through it devise evils in heart through this come evil thoughts, that is heresy as above. And the repair to this to deliver the war to Hashem that He will fight the war as above. And this aspect of silence that is one needs to silence to them only to rely on Hashem that He will fight for us. And this aspect of "Hashem will fight for you and you will be silent" [Exodus 14:14]. And through the silence this the thought is elevated because evil thoughts of heresy are nullified as above. And this be silent, thus it arose in thought [Menachot 29b] that through the silence the thought is elevated as above. But when also they silent then can, G-d forbid, to spoil the repair that is made through silence his. And this aspect of "On my back plowmen plowed" [Psalms 129:3] language of silence aspect of "and you will be silent" that is that their silence rises on his back as above. And this they lengthened their furrows, this aspect of charity of them, aspect of "And my charity will answer in me" [Genesis 30:33] that is that through charity of them, they can, G-d forbid, to overcome that their silence will rise, G-d forbid, on our silence in aspect of "On my back plowmen plowed" and so forth. And because of this not help the advice the above that is to deliver the war to Hashem that is aspect of "Hashem will fight for you and you will be silent" as above. But the man the truth draws to himself all the charities and nullified power the charity of them and then automatically nullified their evil thought and nullified all the heresies as above.
