(LY) 11th Adar 1

  • The sage Hillel went to perform kindness with his body: Upon going to eat a meal, the sage Hillel told his students that he was going to do kindness with a poor and ashamed entity which is his body.
  • By a Tzadik the body is felt as a separate entity: The reason for this is based on what we said above, that by a Tzadik, the body is felt as if it is a foreign entity and therefore he said that he is doing kindness with it by giving his body to eat.
  • There is no evil in the body of the Tzadik: He himself is only the G-dly soul alone, as it is the only soul which enlivens his body and flesh, as the evil that was once found within his animal soul which is invested in his blood and flesh, has been transformed into good and has literally become incorporated within the holiness of the G-dly soul by a Tzadik.
  • The Beinoni contains evil which enlivens his body and is thus his natural self: However, by the Beinoni, being that the essence of his animal soul which derives from the side of evil and is invested in his blood and flesh has yet to change and be transformed to good it therefore ends up that this is his natural conscious state of self and it is the person himself.
