CARRY DESIRES THROUGH THE FIRE

-by Rabbi Baruch Ashlag

There is a discernment of Zahav [gold], and there is a discernment of Kesef (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 175 “And If the Way Be Too Far for You”).

The article “And If the Way Be Too Far for You” is very special. It says that we should not pay attention to how far we seem to be from the Creator, and that we can make our distance from Him turn into drawing close.

Silver Kelim symbolize vessels for receiving the light of Hassadim, and gold vessels symbolize receiving the light of Hochma.

If we clearly understand that everything that the Creator does is for our sake, then all those silver and gold Kelim (vessels) that are in us, must be put through fire and melt, meaning their external form be removed. In this way, we will be able to create new Kelim from them in accordance with our new desires.

After all, “to put through the fire” means that with my desire I want to burn everything, leaving nothing of the past. And then I can make a new shape from the same material, which has again turned into a piece of metal.
