Rabash / The Testimony of the Creator

130. The Testimony of the Creator

“The testimony of the Creator makes the unwise wise.” If a person knows that he is not wise, the Torah makes him wise.

The meaning of “The teaching of the Lord is whole” is that sometimes a person learns Torah, but is the intention that this is the teaching of the Creator, meaning that the whole Torah is His names?

There is the Torah of the Creator, meaning that the whole Torah speaks only of His holy names, since there is the PARDESS [Peshat (literal), Remez (implied), Drush (interpreted), Sod (secret)] in the Torah, that everything was given from the Creator’s mouth through Moses. However, the three qualities that are Peshat, Remez, and Drush, His dresses, are of matters of people, meaning what one must observe.

Yes, Sod is that which the Creator must reveal. This is called “The secrets of Torah are revealed to him,” pertaining only to the holy names. When a person wants to be rewarded with “The Torah of the Creator is whole,” meaning that it includes PARDESS, when he feels that he is in a state of “unwise,” for this reason, the answer comes—the testimony of the Creator.

In other words, the testimony, when the Creator testifies that he has “The Torah of the Creator is whole,” is if he has been rewarded with “makes the unwise wise.” That is, where he was previously unwise, he is then rewarded with wisdom.

Baal HaSulam said the true meaning of “unwise.” It is as our sages said, “Who is unwise, let him come here—this is Moses,” pertaining to faith. That is, one who walks on the path of faith is called “unwise,” as it is considered that he is walking on the path of Lishma [for Her sake], and then the secrets of Torah are revealed to him.
