Understanding the 'Tzaddik HaEmet' from Chosen Mishpat 2

Part Two in this series on the tzaddik HaEmet

Rebbe Nachman of Breslev z"l, through Reb Nosson Sternhartz z''l probably put it into the most sense and in the most simple of terms that I have encountered. in His Likutey Halachot of Chosen Mishpat, Oseh Saliach Leg'Bos Chovo.

Likutey Halachot Chosen Mishpat, The laws of appointing a Shaliach/messenger to collect his loan/debt.

Halacha aleph: And the one who makes a Shaliach makes in front of two witness and says he 'ploni' is responsible for the loan. And these two witness are and aspect times two doubled and this is an aspect of lashon hakodesh. And 'IT' The 'Holy Tongue' sustains everything. Because all of the world was made with Lashon HaKodesh. Like it is written: "ud'varayv chaim v'kayamim laahd" and His is an aspect (davarim19): according to two (mouths) of two witness you will establish a thing." only on the testimony of two is a davar established.

Halacha bet:
Ot aleph; 'Money is the responsibility of the borrower until it reaches the hand of the lender or his Shaliach' as we see from simon koof chaf and koof chaf aleph of Chosen Mishpat.

And means according to the Miarmar of Rebbenu z"l, "B'Chatzotzrot (with trumpets) and the sound of the shofar shout out before Hashem, The King." "Now, each and every person must say: " the entire world was created only for my sake" (sanhedrin 37a). Consequently, because the world was created for my sake, I must constantly look into and consider ways of making the world better; to provide the missing in the world and to pray on it's behalf'" (Likutey Moharan 5).

The only why to do this is through prayer. But a person needs to know how to pray. He needs to know difference of, if it is before Gezar din 'divine sealed strict judgement' or after the Gezar din. And how do you know this? The only way to get to this level is to preform each mitzvah with such tremendous shimcha/joy/enthusiasem, and just for the sake of the mitzvat without any reward in this world or the next. Without any regards for his olam haba. This is the difference in the level of Nevuah/prophesy of Moshe Rabenu and the nevuah of the other prophets. Because the one who does the mitzavot for the receiving of merit in Olam Haba this is the aspect of 'sight that is dimmed' like when someone sees something from a distance. Yes he does the mitzvot for the reward to come 'for he sees in the distance'. He is in effect waiting to get paid. And this payment is called navi, 'prophet', for this person can attain only this lower level of vision. But the person who can do all the mitzvot with real simcha, with a tremendous simcha and wants no merit but that of the mitzvat itself. He is unpleasent at the thought of recieving a reward for this mitzvah. i.e. like when you do a favour for someone and they want to pay you for it, it takes away from joy of helping this person. It cheapens it. This is the aspect of nevuah in the aspect of clear vision, at this level a person can have the Daat to understand whether it is before a Gezar Din or after Gezar Din. The mitzvot are the unifications of Hahsem, The mitzvot are our way of unification with Hashem yitbrech. This is how we connect to Hashem and through the simcha of doing the mitzvot without any other gratification, we are able to connect to the joy of Hashem, that He has from His creation. "WOW"!!! And from this you can to know/understand/spiritually sense, whether it is before or after the Gezar Din and know how to pray to rectify the world, and to fulfill all that is lacking. "Which by the way is our responsibility in this life, in this world". How does this work? What's lacking in the world? The only way to fill any 'Chesron'/lack/void in this world is only through Prayer! See Torah heh of likutey Moharan for more. In short you have to know how to pray, if Hashem forbid someone is poor, is that a 'Gezar Din' or is it that after he makes a tikun/recification, he'll become rich? It effects the way you would pray for him to know on what side of the line he is holding.
