Daily Tanya Monday 9th Nissan Chapter 39 Part 3: The Neshamos which reside in Atzilus for their Gan Eden

9^th Nissan/(LY) 28^th Adar 2

2. In Atzilus there is no comprehension of G-dliness, in contrast to Beriya:

• Atzilus: The world of Atzilus is higher than the intellect and comprehension of the human mind, as the Chabad of Ein Sof in Atzilus is united with Him in an absolute and most intense unity, which vastly and infinitely surpasses the unity in the world of Beriya.
• Beriya: In Beriya, the Chabad of Ein Sof descended in the form of contractions in order to shine to the creations there and allow them to have some level of comprehension and understanding of G-d, each according to their limited intellectual capabilities. The G-dly revelation had to be contracted to the point that the limited and defined creations could comprehend G-dliness and still retain their existence and not become nullified and reincorporated within their root and source which is actual G-dliness.
• The contractions allow the souls to benefit from G-dliness: This contraction is the cause of why a ray of Chabad of Ein Sof shines to the souls who dwell in the world of Beriyah. In contrast, in the world of Atzilus where the Chabad of Ein Sof is not in such a state of contraction, it’s not possible for created intellectual beings to receive from it and comprehend G-dliness at all.

(LY) 29^th Adar 2

3. The Tzadikim who live in Atzilus-Those who are a constant chariot for G-d:

• The world of Atzilus is the abode for those very great Tzadikim whose service of Hashem surpasses even the service of intellectual love and fear.
• The reason: Being that Atzilus is above the intellect of creations, therefore it is the resting place of the great Tzadikim who served Hashem on a level even higher than intellect and even higher than the love and fear that is achieved through comprehension of G-d’s greatness.
• What is this level of service? The above Tzadikim constantly serve Hashem as an actual Merkava for the infinite light of G-d, acting as a chariot of G-d, to be completely nullified to Him and be incorporated in His light, both personally and with all their belongings, through the fulfillment of Torah and Mitzvos.
• An example of such Tzadikim: An example of such Tzadikim were the Avos, our forefathers, who throughout all their days they served Hashem as a chariot.

4. The residence of Tzadikim who are an occasional chariot for G-d:

• Their permanent residence in Beriya: Those whose soul root cannot handle being a constant chariot for G-d, to be constantly nullified and incorporated within Hashem’s light, do not permanently reside in Atzilus even if they occasionally serve G-d as a chariot. Rather, such a Tzadik who occasionally serves Hashem as a Merkava mainly dwells in the world of Beriya.
• Their occasional residence in Atzilus: Although the main residence of a Tzadik who occasionally serves Hashem as a Merkava is in the world of Beriya, nevertheless, at auspicious times his Neshama is elevated to Atzilus as a form of Mayin Nukvin.
• The occasions in which they serve G-d as a chariot: An auspicious time above when people can reach the service of being a chariot for G-d, is during Shemoneh Esrei, which corresponds to the world of Atzilus. This especially applies to the bowing during Shemoneh Esrei, as every bow is the aspect of Atzilus, as it represents nullification to G-d’s light to be considered like complete nothingness before Him.
