READING: between afternoon and sunset of Monday
NETILAT YADAYIM (נטילת ידיים): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE BODY) RITUAL BEFORE THE MAIN READINGS OF `PRAYER OF MANY´ THIS WEEK.
The Middle Line
What does it mean to be in “the middle line”?
In the wisdom of Kabbalah we learn that there is Direct Light that comes from the Creator and Returning Light that we need to return to Him. This means that the Creator wants us to behave towards Him in Returning Light as He behaves towards us in Direct Light. However, with Him there is the desire to bestow. We need to be in the intention to bestow since we are the desire to receive.
It turns out that we are opposite to the Creator in desire and can be similar to him only in intention. Thus each time man’s desire grows, he becomes opposite to the Creator, and when he corrects the desire with the intention to bestow, then he becomes similar to the Creator. In this way man is constantly in two states, in two lines. His principle work is to constantly try to be in the middle, and not to pay attention to the states that his sensations go through, but to constantly want to be in maximum adhesion to the Creator. This is called that he is in “the middle line.”
