      "en": "Every person of Israel — according to one's purity and holiness — so one has the aspect of Mashiach. And one must guard oneself greatly — not to corrupt one's aspect of Mashiach. And the primary thing is to guard oneself from immorality. And one must guard oneself greatly — even from the scent of immorality. For it blemishes one's aspect of Mashiach.\n\nThe spirit of jealousy of Mashiach becomes a spirit of zeal — and goes and is zealous everywhere there is a blemish of immorality. And even in a place where there is not complete immorality — only some blemish in general — one is also zealous about this. For from the greatness of the holiness and purity of the aspect of Mashiach — one cannot endure even a general blemish of immorality — G-d have mercy.\n\nWhen the couple — the man and woman — are worthy — without any taint of disqualification. And their union is in worthiness and great holiness — then through their union a supernal unification is made. And their union is very precious.\n\nThe spirit of zealousy of Mashiach rests upon the faces of Torah — upon the holy books that reveal the face of Torah — in the aspect of: \"\"and the spirit of G-d hovered over the face of the waters\"\" [Genesis 1:2] — which is the Torah. And behold — through the spirit of zealousy — the peace between the worthy man and woman could also be disrupted. For their union is in this world. And therefore because of this — the great Tzadikim conceal their books. And sometimes burn them — so that through this — the spirit of zealousy of Mashiach resting on their books will be automatically removed. And through this — the peace of the worthy man and woman — G-d forbid — will not be disrupted. And behold the book is the aspect of the Name of Hashem (as written in the Zohar, Bereishis, 37b) — the aspect of My name written in holiness. And then one carries a fortiori above (brought in tractate Shabbos 116a) — and if My name — written in holiness — said the Torah — should be erased for the sake of making peace between husband and wife — the books of heretics that sow hatred and strife between Israel and their Father in Heaven — all the more so they should be erased and lost and uprooted from the world. It is found that through the loss of the holy books of true Tzadikim — good comes to the world. For through this — many books of heretics are also lost and uprooted. And one can draw close to Hashem Yisborach through this."
