CHAPTER 23 YOU THAT LOVE THE LORD, HATE EVIL
I heard on Sivan 17, June 2, 1931
In that state, the verse tells us what one can do, meaning
hate evil. And by that the Creator will keep him from that
evil, as it is written, “He preserveth the souls of His saints.”
What is preservation? “He delivered them out of the hand of
the wicked.” In that state one is already a successful person,
since he has some contact with the Creator, be it the tiniest
connection.
In fact, the matter of evil remains and serves as an Achoraim
(Posterior) to the Partzuf. But this is only by one’s correction:
through sincere hatred of evil, it is corrected into a form of
Achoraim. The hatred comes because if one wants to obtain
adhesion with the Creator, then there is a conduct among
friends: if two people come to realize that each hates what
one’s friend hates, and loves what and whom one’s friend
loves, then they come into a perpetual bonding, as a stake that
will never fall.
