Nosato Lirei'echo 5736 נתת ליראיך תשל"ו part 4/5 (Se'if 7-9)

<p>Continuing along the theme of ירידת הנשמה למטה, the רבי uses the rule of &quot;כל הגבוה ביותר יורד למטה יותר&quot; - whatever has a higher source falls lower - to demonstrate how a נסיון requires the most strength from the person to overcome: Being that in a נסיון, the sparks of קדושה are the most concealed, they are on the lowest level, thus showing on the power of their source, and the power of the נשמה of the איד necessary to use against the נסיון.</p><p>To explain that, the רבי takes us through the עבודות of: fulfilling מצות עשה, pushing away לא תעשה, transforming לא תעשה, and ultimately נסיונות, ultimately showing us how נסיונות is incomparably different than עבודת הבירורים - even that of a לא תעשה.</p>

Nosato Lirei'echo 5736 נתת ליראיך תשל"ו part 3/5 (Se'if 5-6)

<p>Contrasting בירורים (even by מצות לא תעשה) with נסיונות, the רבי explains how נסיונות are not a true existence - as by the &#39;river&#39; in the story of the עקידה - and that is how a איד passes tests - by remembering that they are only passing tests!</p><p>This explains the עבודה of the פריערדיקער רבי in prison, making a firm resolution not to be intimidated by them - being that they are not a true existence. (See linked שיחה.)</p><p>Continuing on into the main part of the מאמר, the רבי sets out to explain at length the difference between בירורים and נסיונות, beginning with the overall explanation of the reason for the נשמה&#39;s drastic descent into this world.</p>

Nosato Lirei'echo 5736 נתת ליראיך תשל"ו part 2/5 (Se'if 3-4)

<p>The רבי finishes the מאמר&#39;s opening part by showing how אברהם&#39;s עבודה of מסירות נפש came from his יחידה.</p><p>This opens up the מאמר&#39;s discussion of the difference between the עבודה of בירורים and that of נסיונות:</p><p>While בירורים means to work with the object, נסיונות is to distance oneself from it. Whereas בירורים is engagement with this world, נסיונות is the disengagement from it.</p>
