Zohar Pinchas, Vol. 20 (English)/Vol 15 (Hebrew)
Hebrew translation:
214. זִבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה. זֶה נִקְרָב לַלֵּב, רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה, וִדּוּי וּתְפִלָּה. שֶׁהֲרֵי וַדַּאי (קהלת יב) וְהָרוּחַ תָּשׁוּב אֶל הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר נְתָנָהּ. וְהַכָּבֵד מַקְרִיב אוֹתוֹ לְגַבֵּי הַלֵּב, שֶׁהוּא סָנֵגוֹר עָלָיו, וְהַכֹּל קִשּׁוּר אֶחָד בַּקָּרְבָּן.
215. מֵהַכָּבֵד יוֹצְאִים כָּל הֶחֳלָאִים וְכָל הַמַּכּוֹת לְכָל אֵיבְרֵי הַגּוּף, וּבוֹ שְׁרוּיִים. הַלֵּב הוּא זַךְ מֵהַכֹּל, וּמִמֶּנּוּ יוֹצֵא כָּל טוּב, וְכָל בְּרִיאוּת הָאֵיבָרִים כֻּלָּם, וְכָל חֹזֶק, וְכָל חֶדְוָה, וְכָל הַשְּׁלֵמוּת שֶׁצְּרִיכִים לְכָל הָאֵיבָרִים.
Pinchas 213-215
The Liver and its arteries connect to the impure side but the heart is the ‘anchor’ of holiness in the body. The kidneys are like Cherubs for the right and left and serve the heart that ties it all together as one.
The liver is the center of negativity in the body. It benefits from the sacrifices of the person because it gives it connection to the higher level of the left column. When the heart is ‘broken’ meaning that it removed its ego and connected to the light with confession and repentance, the Liver transforms itself to support the person so it won’t lose its unification with the left column.
Psalms 51:19
“ זִבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים, רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה:
לֵב-נִשְׁבָּר וְנִדְכֶּה– אֱלֹהִים, לֹא תִבְזֶה ”
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. ”
This verse teaches us that the highest and purest level of sacrifice is a broken vessel because God will not reject it.
Ecclesiastes 12:7
“וְיָשֹׁב הֶעָפָר עַל-הָאָרֶץ, כְּשֶׁהָיָה; וְהָרוּחַ תָּשׁוּב, אֶל-הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר נְתָנָהּ. ”
“And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it ”
We are built from body and soul. The body is part of and has ‘borrowed’ its physical form from the materials of this world. The soul is part of God and it goes back when the body and soul are separated.
The Zohar teaches us to focus on the condition of our soul because it is the purpose of our existence. We should improve and correct the soul rather than focus on the material and the TEMPORARY state of life.
As I wrote in a previous study, some people build a successful path solely on the material level that ends with their death. They have a golden coffin (maybe) and expensive Italian marble for a tomb stone. These people get ‘locked’ out of the Final Redemption because their soul is not ready or capable for a great light. Having the gift of richness in this world is just a great opportunity to do greater positive things, like creating channels of sustenance for many people, more charity and more support to the channels of Light.
Poor people that have no desire to do more for their souls are similar as a selfish rich person. We must do our best to purify and expand the soul.

Fascinating and timely message, Zion.
“The Zohar teaches us to focus on the condition of our soul because it is the purpose of our existence.”
This is what we do not learn from the world, in fact we learn only the opposite. Thank you for providing a place for us to begin to understand why we are are here and providing so many connections to the Zohar in order to grow.
Is there hope for us who do not tithe. I work with patients for a living; does this work count at all, since I am paid?
Thank you for Light.

There is always hope for anyone who wish to follow the right path.
Tithing is given from earnings of material things. Even if one works for the most noble charity on earth and get paid, he should tithe.
For those who have difficulties giving their money back to the light to remove the aspect of death from their money I suggest starting with small amounts and gradually increase the amounts to 10% of net income or more.
Shalom Zion,
many thanks for the study and comment, this is so meaningful, so much to do with each one’s Tikun as to Tikun Olam:
“Poor people that have no desire to do more for their souls are similar as a selfish rich person. We must do our best to purify and expand the soul.”
“215.
מֵהַכָּבֵד יוֹצְאִים כָּל הֶחֳלָאִים וְכָל הַמַּכּוֹת לְכָל אֵיבְרֵי הַגּוּף, וּבוֹ שְׁרוּיִים. הַלֵּב הוּא זַךְ מֵהַכֹּל, וּמִמֶּנּוּ יוֹצֵא כָּל טוּב, וְכָל בְּרִיאוּת הָאֵיבָרִים כֻּלָּם, וְכָל חֹזֶק, וְכָל חֶדְוָה, וְכָל הַשְּׁלֵמוּת שֶׁצְּרִיכִים לְכָל הָאֵיבָרִים.”
From the liver come out all illnesses and all plagues to all body organs, and there they stay in.
The heart is purest of all, and from it all the best outcomes; and whole organs health, and all strength, and all joy, and all wholeness we need to all organs.
Love to all,
