Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Chapter 32 Joy from your Soul will create real Love
Tanya chapter 32
By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz
Joy rooted in your Soul will create Loving relationships.
Love based on reason. Changes. External.
Love that's intrinsic. Does not change. Internal.
Love for one self is intrinsic, that's the love you need for others.
How is that possible?
Three levels to souls connection.
Highest level.
In reality we are all one. אב אחד לכולנו
We are one, that have been divided but we are really one, we have one father.
Middle level.
We ares all equal שכולן מתאימות
Lowest level.
In the source of the neshama how do you know which is higher ? מי יודע
On the lowest level we are all unique so we're not one but we all make up one nation & we all need each other as we each possess a unique quality so when you look at another person you have to identify & see their unique gift. מי יודע
What happens when you see the bad or feel your better than some one else?
Some one asked the previous rebbe why he is reaching out to sinners. He said that that law is at the end of the code of Jewish law. In other words we need to focus on being excited about serving G-D with all the laws until that law.
The tzemach tzedek says in Derech mitzvosecha mitzvah לא תבערו אש דף פ״ט ע״ב when some one gets angry when some one is sinning the anger is coming from bad middos it's not from a holy place as why does he not have the same excitement for all other mitzvot.
The only time you can hate some one is.
A freind in Torah & Mitzvot & you rebuked him as then his unintentional sin is like an intentional sin. Even in this unique case when you hate their sin you have to love the good part in them as well as to love them as a whole.
However A regular persons intentional sins are considered as unintentional sins so there for you have to love them.
If you cant see the others unique gift the fault is in you & will be a blemish in Klal Yisroel
According to Chassidus we have to train ourself to see the good qualities in others.
This will work as long what important to you is your Soul not your body.
The soul purpose of the Torah is to elevate the Soul over the body. So אהבת ישראל is an indication if G-D is what's important or is your selfish self what is important to you.
