תּוֹרָה ריט
קיצור ליקוטי מוהר"ן - Kitzur Likutay Moharan
תּוֹרָה ריט כְּשֶׁאָדָם מַעֲלִים וּמַסְתִּיר וּמַקְטִין אֶת עַצְמוֹ בַּעֲנָוָה וְשִׁפְלוּת, אָז הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ כִּבְיָכוֹל גַּם כֵּן מַרְאֶה עַצְמוֹ אֵלָיו בִּבְחִינַת עֲנָוָה וְשִׁפְלוּת, וּמְצַמְצֵם אֶת גַּאֲוָתוֹ וּגְאוֹנוֹ וּמַקְטִין אֶת עַצְמוֹ כִּבְיָכוֹל וְשׁוֹכֵן עִמּוֹ, בִּבְחִינַת: אֶשְׁכֹּן וְאֶת דַּכָּא. אֲבָל כְּשֶׁאָדָם מִתְגָּאֶה וּמִתְגַּדֵּל חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, אָז הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ גַּם כֵּן מַרְאֶה גַּאֲוָתוֹ וּגְדֻלָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר מִי יוּכַל לִסְבֹּל וּלְקַבֵּל כְּבוֹדוֹ וְגַאֲוָתוֹ יִתְבָּרַךְ, כִּי: "הִנֵּה הַשָּׁמַיִם וּשְׁמֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם לֹא יְכַלְכְּלוּךָ" וְכוּ' (מְלָכִים־א ח, כז), וּמִזֶּה בָּא חֻרְבַּן בֵּית־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ בַּעֲווֹנוֹתֵינוּ הָרַבִּים: [וְזֶהוּ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר עַל חֻרְבַּן הַבַּיִת: "וְהַבַּיִת הַזֶּה יִהְיֶה עֶלְיוֹן"].
When a person hides and conceals and diminishes himself in humility and lowliness — Hashem Yisborach, as it were, also shows Himself to him in the aspect of humility and lowliness — and contracts His pride and His majesty and diminishes Himself — as it were — and dwells with him — in the aspect of: ""I dwell with the contrite."" But when a person is arrogant and aggrandises himself — G-d forbid — Hashem Yisborach also shows His pride and His greatness — so that who can endure and receive His honour and His pride, may He be blessed — for: ""behold the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You"" etc. [I Kings 8:27]. And from this comes the destruction of the Temple — due to our many sins. [And this is what is said about the destruction of the Temple: ""and this house shall be exalted.""]
