Chapter 39: The reward and spiritual elevation effected by the quality of the kavana
1. The difference between the service of man versus that of angels:
- Angels are like animals: The angels are referred to as animals, both wild [Chayos] and domestic, as the verse states “Upnei Aryeh El Hayamin, Upnei Shur Mihasmol.” The reason for this is because the angels do not have freedom of choice, and their love and fear are naturally born within them as written in the Raya Mehemna Parshas Pinchas.
- Tzadikim are in Beriyah while angels Yetzirah: It is for this reason that the Tzadikim reach higher levels than the angels, as is seen from the fact that the abode of the Tzadikim in the upper world is in the world of Beriya, while the angels dwell in the world of Yetzirah.
- Gloss-Some angels live in Beriyah: This, however, only refers to the regular angels called Chayos Tiviyim. However, there do exist angels called Chayos Sichliyim which reside in the world of Beriya, as their Avoda is to serve Hashem with intellectual love and fear.
- [To properly understand why the Tzadikim dwell in Beriya while the angels in Yetzirah, we must first introduce the difference between the two worlds.]
- Midos are revealed in Yetzirah: The difference between the worlds of Beriya and Yetzirah is the level of G-dly revelation they contain. In the world of Yetzirah, the Midos and emotional attributes of Ein Sof shine, as it states in the Tikunim and Eitz Chaim that the six Sefiros dwell in Yetzirah.
- Angels in Yetzirah serve Hashem with emotions: This revelation of the Middos in Yetzirah is expressed in the creations and angels of that world through their service of love, fear, and trepidation. This is the service of the angel’s, day and night without break.
- The Avoda of the camp of Gavriel and Michael: The entire camp of Gavriel stands by the left with constant fear and trepidation. The entire camp of Michael stands by the right and serves with love.
- Chabad is revealed in Beriyah: However, in the world of Beriya shines the Chabad/intellect of the Ein Sof, as it states in Tikkunim that the supernal mother hovers over the three Sefiros in the world of Beriya.
- This intellect is the source of the Middos and is the mother and root of them. Based on the above, it is understood why the world of Beriya is the abode for Tzadikkim, as explained next.
- The world of Beriya is the abode for Tzadikkim who serve Hashem with intellectual love and fear that is born due to contemplation of the greatness of the infinite G-d. This love is called Reusa Deliba.
- Their love is their garments: The fiery love of the heart that they arouse becomes garments for their Neshama/soul in the world of Beriya.
- Gan Eden Haelyon: This abode of the Tzadikim is known as Gan Eden Haelyon as it states in the Zohar.
