Complete Faith
What is called "not
to be satisfied with partial faith"?
Not to be satisfied with partial faith
means that we are forbidden to be satisfied with the measure of unity we
achieve, but to understand that there is always more to be added. There is no
moment that man is able to rest from the exertion, from the effort to connect. If
a person leaves it for a moment, then he immediately exits the correct path. We
must constantly try to discover the connection, and from within the connection
to discover the Creator. If I am constantly occupied with that, then it is a
sign that I am directed towards the goal of the creation.
The Torah talks only about the
connection between us: "To love your fellow man as yourself, is the
general rule of the Torah." We must reach love since within loving our
fellow man we receive the attribute of the Creator, and the Creator is revealed
to us according to the measure of this attribute that we acquire.

Daily Kabbalah Definition
Definitions in the daily Kabbalah lesson guide a precise, spiritual approach to terms, & disqualify materialized corporeal definitions
Working for the Lord - Within Reason
and Above Reason
The spiritual
meaning of the concepts: "working for the Lord," "within
reason," and "above reason."
The spiritual path is entirely the revelation
of the actions of the Creator on us, and how we can respond to them correctly.
If a person wants to discover Who is acting on him and what He is doing, and
there is nothing in his reality except these two things, then he is called
"a person who is doing the work of the Creator."
When
such a person proceeds to discover the actions, and from the actions he wants
to discover the Operator, then he has a relation to this. If he relates to the
actions themselves, to what he experiences and feels, this is called that he is
"within reason." However, if
he relates to the action, to the Creator who creates these actions, without
paying attention to what he is feeling, above the feeling of good or bad, then
this is called that the person is already in the work of "above
reason."
