CHAPTER 23 YOU THAT LOVE THE LORD, HATE EVIL

I heard on Sivan 17, June 2, 1931

In the verse, “O ye that love the Lord, hate evil; He preserveth
the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of
the wicked,” he interprets that it is not enough to love the
Creator, and to want to be awarded adhesion with the Creator.
One should also hate evil.

The matter of hatred is expressed by hating the evil, called
“the will to receive.” And one sees that one has no artifice to be
rid of it, and at the same time one does not want to accept the
situation. And one feels the losses that the evil causes him, and
also sees the truth that one cannot annul the evil by himself,
since it is a natural force by the Creator, who has imprinted the
will to receive in man.
