GRACE ON THE SECOND SHABBAT MEAL
PURIFICATION BY FIRE
-by Rav Michael Laitman
Torah, “Deuteronomy,” 9:3: You shall know this day, that it is the Lord your God Who passes over before you as a consuming fire He will destroy them, and He will subdue them before you; and you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord spoke to you.
The upper force can be perceived either as a very soft love in accordance with the qualities of bestowal and love that a person obtained, or to the contrary, as a very hard, all-burning fire if there isn’t love and bestowal to others within a person.
“…and you shall drive them out and destroy them…”
“Them” refers to my personal qualities. I must eradicate them within myself and feel how I correct them every time, to burn them out of myself! Let them burn. Let them be destroyed so that I will be left only with the pure qualities that the fire burns and illuminates.
