T172 PNC - All Deficiencies Come From Person Himself — Shadow Blocks Divine Light (1 seg)

Pettek Nanach Running Commentary on Likutey Moharan

1

ביניים: כָּל הַחֶסְרוֹנוֹת (בָּנִים, פַּרְנָסָה, בְּרִיאוּת) בָּאִים מֵהָאָדָם עַצְמוֹ. אוֹר ה' זוֹרֵם תָּמִיד בְּלִי הֶפְסֵק. דֶּרֶךְ מַעֲשִׂים רָעִים, הָאָדָם יוֹצֵר 'צֵל' הַחּוֹסֵם הָאוֹר. חֶסְרוֹן לֹא נִמְצָא בְּמָקוֹר (אוֹר תָּמִיד זוֹרֵם); תָּמִיד בַּמְּקַבֵּל (צֵל = חֲטָאָיו). לִמּוּד: כְּשֶׁמַּשֶּׁהוּ חָסֵר — הַסְתֵּכֵּל פְּנִימָה. הַצֵּל שֶׁלְּךָ → הַתִּקּוּן שֶׁלְּךָ. הָסֵר צֵל בִּתְשׁוּבָה → הָאוֹר מַגִּיעַ.

Beginner: All the deficiencies a person has — whether in children, livelihood, or health — come from the person himself. The light of God continuously flows upon every person without interruption; it is not God who withholds blessing. However, through his own evil deeds, a person creates a 'shadow' over himself that blocks the divine light from reaching him. The deficiency is never in the source (God's light always flows fully), but in the receiver: the person's sins and failings create a barrier, a shadow, that intercepts the light before it can reach him. The practical teaching: when something is lacking in one's life, do not look to external causes or blame others. Look inward. The shadow that is blocking the divine flow is your own — and therefore the remedy is also in your own hands: remove the shadow through teshuvah, and the light that was always flowing will reach you. Intermediate: All deficiencies (children, livelihood, health) come from the person himself. God's light flows continuously without interruption. Through evil deeds, person creates 'shadow' blocking divine light. Deficiency never in source (light always flows); always in receiver (shadow = person's sins). Teaching: look inward when something is lacking. Shadow = your own → remedy also in your hands. Remove shadow through teshuvah → light reaches you.
