ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson

Therefore, he receives the Light of all of the Supernal Thirty, which descends
to his soul. Indeed, he consists of particular Zivugim that have transpired through
the 6,000 years, which he gathers into one. And, although they give him the
best of their properties wholeheartedly, he still cannot draw closer to them and
subsequently receive from them. This is because the disappearance of the screen
in ZON made the screen in SAG disappear as well. Hence, he cannot come to
them, raise MAN, and receive from them further.

104. Despite not being considered one of them, David heard the meaning
     that is never detached from the heart, for they can never be separated. David
     paid attention with all his heart, but he did not pay attention to David. For by
     the praises, hymns, and mercy that the moon offers the sun, the moon draws
     the sun closer so as to be with it.
     David is Malchut; Malchut comes from the word Melech (King). Therefore,
     David is King, for his properties are the properties of Malchut (kingdom).
     And this is the fourth leg (support) of GAR. Hence, it is written that although
     he cannot be together with the thirty (GAR), he nonetheless clings to these
     properties, and never detaches himself from them.
     This is because Malchut’s entire perfection is revealed in him, for it stems
     from the great Zivug of Atik, which destroys all the impure forces of BON, as it is
     said: “He destroys evil forever.”
     Therefore, David resolved to never part with it again, for it is his perfection.
     However, Benayahu Ben Yehoyada paid no attention to David, as David is the
     fourth support of GAR. Hence, it is as though he is unable to receive from GAR.
     And since he cannot receive from David, he pays no attention to him.
     With the help of the MAN of Malchut (called Se’ara—stormy wind), which
     is raised to ZA (called “Heaven”), as a result of the hymns, praises, and mercy,
     Malchut receives the Light of Benayahu Ben Yehoyada’s soul, which is absolute
     perfection, and merges with it for all eternity.
105. Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Aba fell down on their faces before him and could
     not see him anymore, then rose and went in every direction, but could not
     see him. They sat and wept, and could not even speak to one another. Then,
     Rabbi Aba said, “It is true what we have learned, that the Torah accompanies
     the righteous on all their paths. The righteous of the other world come to
     them to reveal to them the secrets of the Torah. And this must have been
     Rabbi Hamnuna-Saba, who came to us from the other world to reveal these
     secrets to us. But before we could recognize him, he vanished.” They rose and
     wanted to lead their donkeys on, but could not. They repeatedly tried to goad
     the donkeys, but still they could not move. They grew frightened and left their
     donkeys behind. And to this day this place is called “the place of donkeys.”
