The Zohar Speaks to the Heart of
Us All
Question: What’s the significance of The Book of
Zohar in Our Time? Are we now obligated to study
The Zohar in order to attain spirituality?
Yes, it’s clear cut. I’ve been waiting for that for a long
time and I didn’t want to start the study of The Zohar
prematurely. I even said the contrary, “Why should
we study The Zohar?” One might have assumed that
Baal HaSulam composed the work of his life for no
particular reason but, of course, that’s incorrect. The
idea is that we had to be prepared for it.
Today, we’re beginning to study The Book of Zohar
with everyone because we have become of a sufficient
mass to attain a position allowing us to climb up the
same ladder together. Whoever can nullify himself
with all of his might like a baby, studying together with us out of the desire to enter the feeling discussed
in The Book of Zohar, is welcome to join the study. This
study doesn’t require intellect and not many sketches
can be drawn or learned throughout. The Book of
Zohar speaks to the heart for the purpose of opening
a person’s emotions regarding the discernments of
bestowal and receiving. Hence, Baal HaSulam entitled
his commentary “The Ladder” rather than any other
name.
The sections of The Zohar aren’t equal. Some parts are
simple in their language and depth and other parts are
more difficult. We won’t study in order of the weekly
portions. Rather, we will begin with the simpler
sections and going forward, it is similar to what we
learn about the order of clarifications. When we have
‘entered’ emotionally, which is to say after we have
become accustomed to The Book of Zohar’s style and
have focused ourselves properly, we will be prepared
to study other sections as well. Then, we won’t only
yearn, we will actually crave for The Zohar; we will develop a sort of particular appetite for it. The truth
is that there is no difference between the depths of
each and every section of The Zohar. Rashbi and Baal
HaSulam interpreted them to their fullest spiritual
degree. The difference is only with reference to us
who are the students.
