I N T RO D U C T I O N T O T H E B O O K O F Z O H A R Hence, Baal HaSulam writes: Now that the vessels of NHY are completed (as well as the lights in them) and the vessels of Rosh, Toch, and Sof of the Partzuf (all the Kelim in our world) can draw on the full measure of the necessary lights in Rosh, Toch, and Sof, the complete lights of NaRaN ( Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama with Haya and Yechida inside them). Therefore, only with the completion of preparation of these lowest souls could the highest lights be revealed, and not prior to this. Only thanks to us will the light enter into this world. We will attract it with our most evil, awful egoism because by this we complete the structure of the Partzuf of the entire creation. 64. This was a problem that pre-occupied the sages, and it was clear to them that the earlier generations were much more important than the later ones pertaining to their vessels, properties, and desires, which were considerably closer to the properties of the light. Their vessels were very small, pure, and sublime in comparison with ours. They were much closer to the light, whereas we are completely opposite to it in our desires. But the wisdom of Torah (all understanding, attainment and depth of sensations) is manifested in the later generations a lot more, due to the increased general volume of the Kli. As is well known, the general volume of egoism is contained in the Sof of the Partzuf. So it turns out that the correction takes place with the help of the last generations. 65. This is because actions originate in the pure Kelim, whereas the secrets of Torah stem from the light of the Sefirot. The revelation of light occurs inside the soul, in our Kelim, inside our consciousness. Since the Kelim and Orot are inversely related, the lower the Kelim of NHY are, the more the lights of Neshama, Haya, and 284
I N T RO D U C T I O N T O T H E B O O K O F Z O H A R Yechida enter into them. Our generation is therefore able to draw tremendous light to this world. We are now in the Kelim of NHY, which approach their completion, but do not possess a screen. The Kelim that manifest now are empty. That is why our time is so tough, egoistic, cruel and barbaric in its essence. We are now standing at a threshold of reception of light in the empty Kelim. If we acquire a screen, we shall instantly begin drawing the Upper light. It will pass through our souls to the rest of the world. We are now in a very critical state, when all the Kelim are ready, but devoid of light. In other words, our egoism, enormous and empty, is waiting to be filled with light. A fearful state of dismay, disorientation, and confusion is growing steadily each day. Where is this world heading? Why does it exist? Why are we here? This is our condition today. We are left with only one choice: to begin working with a screen, because only this way all our empty Kelim can be filled with light. If we take “The Book of Zohar”, the works of the Ari with Baal HaSulam’s commentaries provided specially for our souls, we will be able to attract the Upper Light. HaBaD, HaGaT, and NHY will begin to receive the light of Neshama. It is also called the light of Mashiach because this light of Bina corrects the properties of Malchut. All correction is based on this combination, merging of Bina and Malchut. By feeling the influence of the light of Bina and the light of Mashiach, the creation will bond with the Creator. This will mark the complete and final deliverance from egoism, and entrance into eternity and perfection. 285
