There Is a Discernment of the Next World, and There Is a Discernment of This World
75. There Is a Discernment of the Next World, and There Is a Discernment of This World
I heard during a meal celebrating a Brit [circumcision], Jerusalem
There is a discernment of “the next world,” and there is a discernment of “this world.” The next world is called “faith,” and this world is called “attainment.”
It is written about the next world, “They shall be satiated and delighted,” meaning that there is no end to the satiation. This is so because everything that is received by faith has no limits. Conversely, what is received through attainment already has limits since anything that comes in the Kelim [vessels] of the lower one, the lower one limits it. Hence, there is a limit to the discernment of this world.
