Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Academy

There is still of Kedusha [holiness], and there is vegetative, etc. The “still” is considered all those things that one receives by upbringing. “Vegetative” means that which a person takes upon himself, things he did not acquire through his rearing.

The difference is that there is no criticism whatsoever on all the things that man takes upon himself by rearing. Moreover, there could be two opposites in the same carrier, since there is no criticism. But when one takes upon oneself things that he did not receive by education, on those there is criticism and he cannot receive two opposites in the same carrier.

The reason is that every new thing that he is going to do, the question is, “Why am I doing it? Who obligates me, and what benefit will I get out of it?” Also, “For whose benefit am I doing it?” Only the intellect that obligates him to work can he do it. Otherwise, he suffices for what he received through education.

But then, when he receives new things, he needs faith. And to the contrary, only then is faith pertinent, since he already has criticism, there are always contradictions, and he cannot receive anything if not through the power of faith.

This is not so in the manner of education, when he has no criticism. At that time, he does not have much need for faith, since he is used to doing all those things by habit.
