Kirzner, Rabbi Yitzchak ztl on |
After giving an understanding of the journey of body and soul, the Ramchal analyzes the roots of these two distinctly different beings. Upon observation we find more clarity and focus in the spiritual realm, and a lack of this in the physical. These concepts relate to the essence of light and darkness. If a person reaches for spirituality, he is making a statement that he wants to experience the G-d in a more revealed way.
We attempt to do the best job we can in this world. Sometimes our actions have a limited affect at the moment. But ripple effects of the things we do leave an impression, and who knows where that will go? The Ramchal discusses our ability to learn about G-d based on the effects of all He does. Learn how self-realization can lead us to understand G-d more.
We often assume that the more we have of something, the better. In light of becoming a complete person, it is good to have what you need so that we can accomplish, but more than that is disabling. Our physical universe was created through holding back. However, anything G-d made without constraining his ability is whole in a way nothing else can be. Our clinging to this realm of soul makes what we can potentially achieve limitless.
What is the doorway that can help us reach our souls? R’ Kirzner details how spiritual energy directs the physical reality of our world before he enters his discussion of the import of the things we look at and hear and their impact on our spiritual reality.
How do we understand the usage of physical terms in relation to our soul, and G-d? Rabbi Kirzner turns our view on its head, defining the intense power of the spiritual and what happens when it is shone through the body. Even deeper, when we come up against infinite aspects of G-d that are incomprehensible to us, doesn’t that restrict our relationship with Him?
How do body and soul balance each other? They often don’t, and the friction that comes from that rift is portrayed in various different states humanity finds themselves in. The Ramchal begins by describing the optimum relationship between body and soul, and follows the procession down to levels we struggle with, and shows how some of this soul frustration is expressed by our attempting to achieve success in other areas in life.
