צוואת הריב"ש 41

Tzava'at HaRivash · Chapter 41

‹›
  1. 1

    הנשמה אמרה להרב שמה שזכה שנתגלו אליו דברים העליונים לא מפני שלמד הרבה מש"ס ופוסקים. רק משום תפלה שהי' מתפלל תמיד בכוונה גדולה ומשם זכה למעלה עליונה:

    The soul61This refers to the upper aspect of his own soul. Such revelations of the upper aspect of one’s soul are elucidated in Shaarei Kedushah of Rabbi Chaim Vital, Section 3, Ch. 5, translated as Gates of Holiness. told the Rabbi (Rabbi Yisroel Baal Shem Tov) that the reason he merited all the Supernal revelations that were revealed to him was not because of the great amount of Talmud and codifiers that he studied, but rather, because of his prayers. For, he always prayed with tremendous devotion, and this is why he merited such a lofty level.
