The Difference Between a Shade of

Kedusha and a Shade of Sitra Achra

It is written (Song of Songs, 2), Until the day
breathes, and the shadows flee away. We
must understand what are shadows in the
work, and what is two shadows. The thing
is that when one does not feel His Providence,
that the Creator leads the world in a manner
of Good that doeth good, it is regarded as a
shadow hiding the sun.
In other words, as the corporeal shadow
that hides the sun does not change the sun in
any way, and the sun shines in its fullest
power, so one who does not feel the existence
of His Providence does not induce any change
Above, as it is written, I the Lord do not
change.
Instead, all the changes are in the
receivers. We must observe two discernments
in this shade, in this concealment:
1. When one still has the ability to
overcome the darkness and the
concealments that one feels, justify
the Creator, and pray to the Creator,
that the Creator will open his eyes to
see that all the concealments that one
is feeling come from the Creator, that
the Creator is doing all that to him so
he would reveal his prayer and yearn
to cleave unto Him.
This is so because only through
the suffering that one receives from
Him, wishing to break free from
ones trouble and escape the
torments, then one does everything
he can. Hence, when receiving the
concealments and the afflictions, one
is certain to make the known remedy:
to do much praying for the Creator to
help him and deliver him from the
state he is in. In that state, one still
believes in His Providence.

Razlika izmeu sjenke Kedusha i sjenke Sitra

Achra
Zapisano je (Pjesme nad pjesmama, 2), "Dok
dan die, i sjenke bjee daleko." Moramo da
shvatimo ta su sjenke u radu, a ta su "dvije
sjenke." Stvar je u tome kada neko ne osjea
Njegovo Provienje, da Stvoritelj vodi svijet
na nain "Dobro da tvori dobro," smatra se
kao sjenka koja skriva sunce.
Drugim rijeima, kao to korporealna
sjenka koja skriva Sunce ne mijenja Sunce na
bilo koji nain, i sunce sija u svojoj punoj
moi, tako onaj koji ne osjea postojanje
Njegovog Provienja ne izaziva nikakve
promjene Iznad, jer, kao to je napisano, "Ja,
Gospod se ne mijenjam."
Umjesto toga, sve promjene su u onima
koji primaju. Moramo posmatrati dva stanja u
ovoj sjenci, u ovom skrivanju:
1. Kada osoba jo uvijek ima sposobnost
da prevazie mrak i prikrivenost koju
osjea, da opravda Stvoritelja, i moli
se Stvoritelju, da e mu Stvoritelj
otvoriti oi da vidi da sva prikrivanja
koja osjea dolaze od Stvoritelja, da
mu Stvoritelj ini sve to, kako bi on
otkrio svoju molitvu i eznuo da se
priblii Njemu.
To je tako jer samo kroz patnju koju
prima od Njega, u elji da se oslobodi
od sopstvene nevolje i pobjegne od
muke, on onda radi sve to moe.
Stoga, kada prima prikrivanja i
nesree, on je odluan napraviti
poznati lijek: da se mnogo moli
Stvoritelju da mu pomogne i oslobodi
ga od stanja u kojem se nalazi. U
takvom stanju, on jo uvijek vjeruje u
Njegovo Provienje.

2. When one comes to a state where he

can no longer prevail and say that all
the suffering and pains one feels are
because the Creator had sent them to
him so as to have a reason to ascend
in degree. Then one comes to a state
of heresy, since one cannot believe in
His Providence, and naturally, then
one cannot pray.
It follows that there are two kinds of
shades. And this is the meaning of, and the
shadows flee away, meaning that the
shadows will flee from the world.
The shade of Klipa (Shell) is called
Another god is sterile and does not bear
fruit. However, a shade of Kedusha
(holiness) is called, Under its shadow I
delighted to sit, and its fruit was sweet to my
palate. In other words, one says that all the
concealments and the afflictions one feels are
because the Creator has sent him these states,
to have a place to work above reason.
And when one has the strength to say
that, that is, that the Creator causes him all
that, it is to ones benefit. This means that
through it, one can come to work in order to
bestow and not to benefit oneself. At that
time, one comes to realize, meaning believe
that the Creator enjoys specifically this work,
which is built entirely above reason.
It follows that one does not pray to the
Creator that the shadows will flee from the
world. Rather, one says, I see that the
Creator wants me to serve Him in this
manner, entirely above reason. Thus, in
everything that one does, he says, The
Creator certainly enjoys this work, so why
should I care if I work in a state of
concealment of the face? After all, I want to
work in order to bestow, that the Creator will
enjoy. Hence, I have no abasement from this
work, meaning a sensation of being in a state
of concealment of the Face, that the Creator

2. Kada on dodje do stanja u kojem vie

ne moe prevladati i rei da su sve
patnje i bolovi koje osjea, zato to ih
je Stvoritelj poslao njemu kako bi
imao povoda da se uzdigne u
stepenu. Tada on dolazi do stanja
jeresi, jer ne moe vjerovati u
Njegovo Provienje, i prirodno, onda
se ne moe moliti.
Iz toga slijedi da postoje dvije vrste
sjenke. I ovo je znaenje od, "i sjenke bjee
daleko", to znai da e sjenke bjeati iz
svijeta.
Sjenka Klipa (aure) se naziva "Drugi bog je
sterilan i ne donosi plod." Meutim, sjenka
Kedusha-e (Svetosti) se zove, "Pod njegovom
sjenkom oduevljen sam sjesti, a plod je
sladak za moja nepca." Drugim rijeima,
kae da su sva prikrivenja i nevolje koje
osjea, zato jer mu je Stvoritelj poslao ova
stanja, da bi imao mjesta za rad iznad razuma.
I kada ima snage da kae da mu
Stvoritelj izaziva sve to, to je za njegovu
korist. To znai da kroz to, on moe doi
raditi kako bi podario, a ne imao korist za
sebe. U to vrijeme, on dolazi do shvatanja
znaenja vjerovanja da Stvoritelj uiva
posebno u ovakvom radu, koji je izgraen u
potpunosti iznad razuma.
Iz toga slijedi da se on ne moli
Stvoritelju da sjenke pobjegnu iz svijeta.
Umjesto toga, on kae: "Vidim da Stvoritelj
eli da mu sluim na ovaj nain, u potpunosti
iznad razuma." Dakle, u svemu to on radi, on
kae: "Stvoritelj sigurno uiva u ovom radu,
pa zato bih onda mario ako radim u stanju
prikrivenosti Njegovog lica? Na kraju
krajeva, elim da radim kako bih podario, da
bi Stvoritelj uivao. Dakle, nemam ponienje
od ovog posla, to znai osjeaj biti u stanju
prikrivanja Lica, da Stvoritelj ne uiva u
ovom radu." Umjesto toga, on se slae sa

does not enjoy this work. Instead, one agrees

to the leadership of the Creator, and one
wholeheartedly agrees to however the Creator
wants one to feel the existence of the Creator
during the work. This is so because one does
not consider what he can enjoy, but considers
what the Creator can enjoy. Thus, this shade
brings him life.
This is called, Under its shadow I
delighted, meaning one covets such a state
where one can make some overcoming above
reason. Thus, if one does not exert in a state
of concealment, when there is still room to
pray that the Creator will bring him closer,
but he is negligent in that, hence one is sent a
second concealment in which one cannot even
pray. This is so because of the sinthat he
did not exert with all his might to pray to the
Creator. For this reason, one comes to such
lowliness.
But after one has arrived at this state,
one is pitied from Above, and he is given an
awakening from Above once more. And the
same order begins, until finally one
strengthens in prayer, and the Creator hears
his prayer and brings him closer and reforms
it.

rukovodstvom Stvoritelja, i on svesrdno

pristaje na to kako Stvoritelj eli da on osjeti
postojanje Stvoritelja tokom rada. To je zato
to on vie ne razmatra kako moe uivati,
ve razmatra i uzima u obzir u emu Stvoritelj
moe uivati. Stoga, ova sijenka mu donosi
ivot.
Ovo se naziva, "Pod njegova sjenkom
sam oduevljen", to znai da on udi za
stanjem u kojem moe napraviti
prevazilaenje iznad razuma. Stoga, ako se on
ne napree da radi u stanju skrivanja, kada jo
uvijek ima prostora da se moli da e ga
Stvoritelj pribliiti, ve je nemaran u tome,
onda mu je poslato drugo skrivanje u kojem
se ne moe ni moliti. To je zato to je grijehda se nije naprezao iz sve snage da se moli
Stvoritelju. Iz tog razloga, on dolazi do stanja
takve niskosti.
Meutim, nakon to je stigao u ovo
stanje, na njega se saale Odozgo, i njemu je
jo jednom dato buenje Odozgo. I isti
zahtjev poinje, dok on konano ne ojaa u
molitvi, a Stvoritelj uje njegovu molitvu i
priblii ga i reformie ga, izvri korekciju.
