Daily Zohar # 1541 – Korach – The ultimate peace
Hebrew translation:
8. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אָמַר, כָּתוּב (תהלים קיט) שָׁלוֹם רָב לְאֹהֲבֵי תוֹרָתֶךָ וְגוֹ’. הַתּוֹרָה הִיא שָׁלוֹם, שֶׁכָּתוּב (משלי ג) וְכָל נְתִיבֹתֶיהָ שָׁלוֹם. וְקֹרַח בָּא לִפְגֹּם שָׁלוֹם שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה וּמַטָּה, וּמִשּׁוּם זֶה נֶעֱנַשׁ מִלְמַעְלָה וּמַטָּה.
9. וַיָּקֻמוּ לִפְנֵי מֹשֶׁה וְגוֹ’. פָּסוּק זֶה פֵּרְשׁוּהוּ הַחֲבֵרִים. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אָמַר, קְרִאֵי מוֹעֵד, קְרִאֵי כָּתוּב, חָסֵר יוֹ”ד. לָמָּה קְרִאֵי? אֶלָּא כָּךְ הוּא – מַלְכוּת הָאָרֶץ כְּעֵין מַלְכוּת הָרָקִיעַ. וְסוֹד זֶה – כָּל אוֹתָם כְּתָרִים עֶלְיוֹנִים שֶׁהַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ נֶאֱחָז בָּהֶם, כֻּלָּם מְזֻמָּנִים מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁנִּקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ, זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (ויקרא כג) מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ. וְאֵימָתַי? בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁמּוֹעֵד זָמִין בָּעוֹלָם. כְּמוֹ שֶׁאוֹתָם כְּתָרִים עֶלְיוֹנִים שֶׁמְּזֻמָּנִים מִקֹּדֶשׁ הָעֶלְיוֹן, כָּךְ גַּם קֹדֶשׁ תַּחְתּוֹן זָמִין לְחֵילָיו לְעַטְּרָם וּלְהַעֲלוֹתָם.
Zohar Korach
The Zohar states that the world stays in existence because of the power of peace, and peace is the Shabbat. Those who separate themselves from peace lose their existence in the world. That was the case with Korach and also with Zelophehad that tried to change the spiritual system and the connection to Shabbat. They had to die. Their souls created spiritual corruption and while they were alive the impact is in the Malchut level and that means chaos. When they die the soul leaves the realm of Malchut and the system is restored.
Each one of us that goes against the spiritual system corrupts it and disrupts the peace on a local and global level. The greater the soul of the person so is the level of corruption that he can make when not following the system. Every selfish action creates corruption.
The word for peace in Hebrew is ‘שלום’ and it also means completion. The word represents its inner state of completion and no lack of Light.
To achieve peace we must have the Light. There are no other ways. Politicians may achieve temporary peace because it is based on compromise. Each side accepts part of the whole so it can never be a true peace.
The world is stupid. For many years they try peace through politics but the outcome is always temporary or the talks about actual peace are dragged for many years. Each side wants to have it all but none of them can deliver a complete solution.
Only when everyone realizes that true peace comes only from the Light and makes connection to draw this Light to the world will we have the true peace.
The sages said “אמר רבי אלעזר אמר רבי חנינא: תלמידי חכמים מרבים שלום בעולם”
“Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Hanina said: Wise student of Torah increases peace in the world, and all sons schooled by the ways of YHVH bring more peace. (Berachot 64:1)”
Psalms 29:11
“יְהוָה–עֹז, לְעַמּוֹ יִתֵּן; יְהוָה, יְבָרֵךְ אֶת-עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם ”
“YHVH will give strength (Torah) unto His people; YHVH will bless his people with peace. ”
The Torah and the connection to the Light of God are what brings peace to the world. All other options to achieve true peace are stupidity.
The world is in a very volatile state. One wrong move and a world war can start. If we don’t come with unity and connect to the Light the outcome can be complete world chaos.
We should do our best in studying the Torah through the Zohar because it reveals the inner Light of the Torah and brings energy of peace to Malchut..
