250715.Pinchas ver399Rabbi Shimon explains to his son the secret of the inner organs, telling him about the wings of the lung that are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, Chassadim.
Pinchas: Verse 399
Rabbi Elazar said to his father, We have already heard THE EXPOSITION OF the closed organs, NAMELY THE EXTERNAL LIMBS, in the secret of the sacrifice, but what is the secret of the other organs, THE INNER ONES? Rabbi Shimon said to Rabbi Elazar: Elazar, my son, all the other organs that are internal have a supreme secret.
Pinchas: Verse 400
Come and see, We have already learned about the heart: The heart is a burning fire, and if the Supernal King had not arranged for it the wings of the lung that bring to it a breeze from the wind that blows with the upper spices, NAMELY FROM THE FIRST THREE SFIROT OF ZEIR ANPIN, the heart would burn up the whole world in a single moment.
Pinchas: Verse 401
He began by quoting: "Then Hashem caused to rain upon S'dom and upon Amorah brimstone and fire" (Beresheet 19:24). Why did He burn them? Because at that time the wings of the lung did not blow a wind ON And the secret of these wings of the lung is the secret of the verse, "the wings of a dove covered with silver" (Tehilim 68:14). FOR DOVE, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF MALCHUT, OF WHICH THE ROOT IS FROM THE LEFT OF BINAH, FROM THE ASPECT OF THE HEART, HAS TO BE COVERED WITH SILVER, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF CHASSADIM. AND WHEN IT IS COVERED WITH SILVER IT IS THE SECRET OF THE ANGELS Raphael and Tzadkiel, WHICH COME FROM IT FOR THE HEALTH AND SALVATION OF THE WORLD. And it is said about them: "who makes the winds His messengers" (Tehilim 104:4), namely permanently to blow on the heart.
Pinchas: Verse 402
Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd). And in the first section, the Faithful Shepherd said TO RABBI SHIMON, Holy Luminary, everything that you have said is good, but the brain is water, the heart is fire, and the two of them are Mercy and Judgment. This, THE BRAIN, is the Throne of Mercy, while the other, THE HEART, is the Throne of Judgment. And the Holy One, blessed be He, is the King who arise from the Throne of Judgment which is the heart, and sits down on the Throne of Mercy which is the brain.
Pinchas: Verse 403
When iniquities multiply in the organs and in the arteries of the heart, which is the Throne of Judgment, it is said of the heart: "And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath" (Ester 7:7), which is the wine of the Torah. But when the wings of the lung blow on the heart, it is said: "Then the king's wrath was pacified" (Ibid. 10). For the two wings of the lung are THE SECRET OF THE VERSE, "And the Cherubs shall stretch out their wings on high, over spreading the covering with their wings" (Shemot 25:20). This is the covering of the heart.
Pinchas: Verse 404
And in what way was the king's wrath appeased? It was because "then he heard the voice" (Bemidbar 7:89), this being the voice of the Torah, the voice of the reading of Sh'ma, WHICH IS THE CENTRAL COLUMN, "and it spoke to him" (Ibid.), WHICH IS THE SECRET OF THE REVELATION of CHOCHMAH THAT IS IN MALCHUT, WHICH IS CALLED 'SPEECH,' and this is in the prayer that is formulated in the mouth, which is "Adonai, open my lips; and my mouth shall rehearse Your praise" (Tehilim 51:17), WHICH IS MALCHUT.
