Blind Beggar OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Not a sexaholic, just trying to be good. Posts: 780 Karma: 12	The Toras Chacham says singing on Shabbos(Zemiros Shabbos) goes up to the world of A"ck which is above Atzilus which is above Beriyah.
	The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars. If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look. I can guard my eyes. I want to guard my eyes. I do guard my eyes. Why do I say these four lines? Last Edit: by .

Parshas Ki Savo

The mitzva of bikkurim teaches us the midah of histapkus. To be content with what we have in every area.

There are two channels of blessing and bounty. The side of kedusha is signified by the contentedness it instills. Poseach es yadecha umasbia lechol chai ratzon. Malai birchas hashem. As we say in bentching: tamid lo chassar lanu ve'al yechsar lanu. Vechol tov al yechasrenu.

Bounty and blessing received from the other side engenders a nonstop pursuit. Yesh lo mana rotzeh masayim. Ein adam mais vechatzi tavaso beyado. Bikkurim teaches us to enjoy what we have. Vesamachta bechol hatov. In the good that you received.

This is true even in spiritual pursuits. A person should recognize his current situation and not aspire to levels that are currently unattainable. Rather thank Hashem and appreciate the level you do have. Appreciate that you are a jew. As we say every morning 'shelo asani goy'. And we say at Bikkurim 'arami oved avi', which is maschil bignus umesayem bishvach. That we started out as pagans. And now kervanu hamakom la'avodaso.

Veamachta bechol hatov, you feel as if you've 'got it all'. Why? Because asher nasan lecha Hashem elokecha, it's coming from kedusha, from the RBSO. So too in all areas, physical and spiritual. A person should appreciate what he has.

ZemirosShabbos OFFLINE Platinum Boarder pass the compote Posts: 6153 Karma: 72	thank you, glad to help in any way. and btw, the first piece in Degel Machaneh Efraim on this week's haftorah has a really beautiful mashal. (a bit long, but worth it. and it's totally on an accessible level, no sefiros shaimos and yichudim.)

	Baby steps. If the road is pulling you down, it's a sign that you are going uphill, so just press harder on the gas! Have a great day - unless, of course, you made other plans. Last Edit: by .

אמנם בחטאו, כיון שעל ידו נסתר השלימות יותר משהיה, ונתרבו החסרונות, והיה הוא הגורם רעה לעצמו, הנה לא יהיה עוד כל כך קל לו לשוב לצאת מן החסרון ולקנות השלימות, כמות שהיה בעת שלא היה הוא גרמת חסרונו אלא שכך נוצר מעיקרו וכמ"ש. וכל שכן שבהכרח השתדלותו המצטרך עתה להגיע לשלימות, הנה הוא כפול, כי יצטרך תחלה שישובו האדם והעולם אל המצב שהיו בראשונה קודם החטא, ואחר כך שיתעלו מן המצב ההוא אל מצב השלימות שהיה ראוי לאדם שיעלה:

דרך ה' פרק ג

He is speaking about the cheit of Adam Harishon, but it struck me that the same can be said about a bad habit/addiction.

אמנם גם היא (הנשמה) מפסדת, שהיא כבושה בעצמה ואינה יכולה לפשט זהריה. ועוד, שאינה פועלת הפעולה הראויה לה, שהיא זיכוך הגוף. ואלו היתה פועלת אותה, היתה משתלמת בזה שלימות גדול, מצד מהות הפעולה עצמה, שהרי פעולת שלימות היא היות מטיב ומשלים זולתו.

Another sentence in Derech Hashem that sounded very familiar

תקעו בחודש שופר, בכסה ליום חגנו" (תהילים פ"א, ד) – בהתחדשות השנה, כח החידוש מוסיף קדושה בנבראים, כעין התחלת היצירה, וגם הכח הפנימי והמכוסה שבנפשנו מתגלה ומשלים את הנפש בדעות ובמעשים.

"כי חק לישראל הוא משפט לאלקי יעקב" – אעפ"י שאין אנו מכירים את עומק הטוב המכוסה שבנפשות ישראל, והדבר הוא בשבילנו כחוק, שאין אנו יודעים את טעמו, אבל לאלקי יעקב, להשם יתברך אלוקה-כל-הנפשות, הוא משפט מוטעם ומבואר, כי הוא יודע עד כמה ראוי להכריע לצד זכותנו, מצד כח הקדושה הפנימי, הצפון והמכוסה.

Rather, step by step progression. Toras Avos
