Daily Zohar 1538<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Holy
\nHebrew translation:<\/p>\n

16. בֹּא וּרְאֵה, שְׁלַח לְךָ אֲנָשִׁים, בִּשְׁבִילְךָ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה פָּתַח, (משלי כה) כְּצִנַּת שֶׁלֶג בְּיוֹם קָצִיר צִיר נֶאֱמָן לְשֹׁלְחָיו וְנֶפֶשׁ אֲדֹנָיו יָשִׁיב. כְּצִנַּת שֶׁלֶג בְּיוֹם קָצִיר, שֶׁמְּהַנֶּה אֶת הַגּוּף וְאֶת הַנֶּפֶשׁ. צִיר נֶאֱמָן לְשֹׁלְחָיו, אֵלּוּ כָּלֵב וּפִנְחָס שֶׁהָיוּ שְׁלִיחִים נֶאֱמָנִים לִיהוֹשֻׁעַ. וְנֶפֶשׁ אֲדֹנָיו יָשִׁיב, שֶׁהֶחֱזִירוּ שְׁכִינָה לָדוּר בָּהֶם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, וְלֹא הִסְתַּלְּקָה מֵהֶם.
\n17. וְאֵלּו שֶׁשָּׁלַח מֹשֶׁה גָּרְמוּ בְכִיָּה לְדוֹרוֹת אַחֲרוֹנִים, וְגָרְמוּ לְהִסְתַּלֵּק מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל כַּמָּה אֲלָפִים וּרְבָבוֹת, וְגָרְמוּ לְסַלֵּק שְׁכִינָה מֵהָאָרֶץ מִבֵּין יִשְׂרָאֵל. אוֹתָם שֶׁשָּׁלַח יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, וְנֶפֶשׁ אֲדֹנָיו יָשִׁיב.
\n18. רַבִּי חִזְקִיָּה וְרַבִּי יֵיסָא הָיוּ הוֹלְכִים בַּדֶּרֶךְ. אָמַר רַבִּי יֵיסָא לְרַבִּי חִזְקִיָּה, אֲנִי רוֹאֶה בְפָנֶיךָ שֶׁבְּתוֹכְךָ יֵשׁ הִרְהוּר. אָמַר לוֹ, הֲרֵי וַדַּאי בְּפָסוּק זֶה הִסְתַּכַּלְתִּי בוֹ. כֵּיוָן שֶׁאָמַר שְׁלֹמֹה, (קהלת ג) כִּי מִקְרֶה בְנֵי הָאָדָם וּמִקְרֶה הַבְּהֵמָה מִקְרֶה אֶחָד לָהֶם וְגוֹ’. וְשָׁנִינוּ, שֶׁכָּל דִּבְרֵי שְׁלֹמֹה הַמֶּלֶךְ כֻּלָּם נִסְתָּרִים מִדַּרְגוֹת הַחָכְמָה. אִם כָּךְ, בְּפָסוּק זֶה יֵשׁ לְהִסְתַּכֵּל, שֶׁהֲרֵי נִמְצָא בּוֹ פֶּתַח לְאוֹתָם שֶׁאֵינָם בְּנֵי הָאֱמוּנָה.<\/div>\n

Zohar Shelach Lecha<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 1:2<\/a>
\n“הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים אָמַר קֹהֶלֶת, הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים הַכֹּל הָבֶל”
\n“Vanity(1) of vanities(2), says the Preacher, vanity(1) of vanities(2)! All is vanity(2).”<\/p>\n

A word in plural represents two. In this verse King Solomon ‘coded’ the seven Sefirot of this world. The word for ‘vanity’ is הבל and it means ‘vapor’ of the mouth, the seven Sefirot represented by the seven days of creation. God said and it happens.
\nEcclesiastes teaches us that everything in this world follows the system of the Sefirot.<\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 3:19<\/a>
\n“כִּי מִקְרֶה בְנֵי-הָאָדָם וּמִקְרֶה הַבְּהֵמָה, וּמִקְרֶה אֶחָד לָהֶם–כְּמוֹת זֶה כֵּן מוֹת זֶה, וְרוּחַ אֶחָד לַכֹּל; וּמוֹתַר הָאָדָם מִן-הַבְּהֵמָה אָיִן, כִּי הַכֹּל הָבֶל”
\n“For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity.”<\/p>\n

The Zohar quotes this verse to teach us that everything in this world is governed by the same system but man has the advantage because his origin is from Chokmah<\/a>. The word אין is translated as ‘no’ in English but Kabbalah explains that it represents the level of Chokmah<\/a>.
\nJob 28:12<\/a>
\n“וְהַחָכְמָה, מֵאַיִן תִּמָּצֵא; וְאֵי זֶה, מְקוֹם בִּינָה”
\n“But where (אַיִן) shall wisdom (Chokmah<\/a>) be found? And where is the place of understanding (Binah<\/a>)?”<\/p>\n

The only way to go above nature is to connect to the Sefirot of Chokma<\/a> and Binah<\/a>, which is available to us through spiritual connection, Zohar and Torah. Everything else we do has impact and stays only on the lower level.<\/p>\n
