Part One in this series on the Tzaddik HaEmet
Have you ever thought about why we keep Halachot? Well these are my words, as I have not heard them else where, but I'm sure I'm not the first to contemplate this.
I believe that they are a physical represention of the spiritual. A Kal V'Chomer if you prefer. For example the laws of, Pikadon, an object deposited with custodian for safekeeping, Our Neshoma's were deposited in our goof's for safekeeping so me must take care of Them. Or for example the laws of, Oseh Shaliach Leg'bos Chovo, laws regarding appointing someone to collect a debt. I have of recently been reflecting on how these laws are mirrored in the realm of the spirit.
I've been learning Chosen Mispat, The fourth section of the Shuchan Aruch dealing with Judaical law. Simon קכא' 121' The Laws of appointing a Shaliach/messenger are very curious to me as they would certainly apply to 'Moshiach', We know that Hashem is also bound by His law so to speak. So what applies here also applies in the realm of the spirit, if only for the sake of our comprehension. If we approach these laws in this way, we may come to understand the role of the 'Tzaddik HaEmet' which is different from Moshiach by the way, as Hashem's Shaliach/messenger. Because we have Eliyahu HaNavi, Moshiach ben Yosef, whom is here in each dor, and who comes to point us to Moshe Moshiach the Tzaddik Ha Emet, who is the righteous Redeemer, that we yearn for. The whole of this is a long draw out process which we need not explore. And we could not understand all of it anyway. We need but to trust in the fact at Hashem is in control and all will be for the best, and that we will all witness it very soon. with all that said, This is lengthy it will take some time to develop this concept so it can be understood in general. There are many great and lofty 'inyanim' in what you would think to be dry law. Hashem gave all of us this so with everything we do or say we should remember that He and He alone is the creator of the world. I'm literally on fire after coming to understand just a little of what is here. Come back tomorrow for the next part in this series.
...There is something to do!
