Daily Zohar # 2194 – Masei – The beginning of love
Hebrew translation:
320. אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, אֱלוֹהַּ שֶׁל מִצְרַיִם שֶׂה הָיָה, וְצִוָּה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לַעֲשׂוֹת בּוֹ שְׁפָטִים, לִשְׂרֹף אוֹתוֹ בָּאֵשׁ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים ז) פְּסִילֵי אֱלֹהֵיהֶם תִּשְׂרְפוּן בָּאֵשׁ, כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּהֵא רֵיחוֹ נוֹדֵף. וְעוֹד, (שמות יב) רֹאשׁוֹ עַל כְּרָעָיו וְעַל קִרְבּוֹ. וְעוֹד, שֶׁעַצְמוֹתָיו מֻשְׁלָכִים בַּשּׁוּק. וְזֹאת הָיְתָה לְמִצְרַיִם קָשָׁה מִכֻּלָּן, זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב שְׁפָטִים.
321. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, בֵּאלֹהֵיהֶם מַמָּשׁ, וְזֶהוּ שַׂר שֶׁלָּהֶם, לְקַיֵּם יִפְקֹד ה’ עַל צְבָא הַמָּרוֹם בַּמָּרוֹם וְעַל מַלְכֵי הָאֲדָמָה עַל הָאֲדָמָה. וְכָל זֶה הָיוּ יוֹדְעִים הַחֲכָמִים שֶׁבָּהֶם, וְכָל שֶׁכֵּן שַׂר שֶׁלָּהֶם, עַל כֵּן כָּתוּב הָבָה נִּתְחַכְּמָה לוֹ.
Zohar Masei
The 42 journeys described in the portion of Masei lead the Israelites to the Promised Land where they started the correction process that would take them to the Final Redemption.
The world was created with the power of 42 letters concealed in the first 42 letters of the Torah.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty,”
The first 6 letters of the 42 are “אבגיתץ” and they are the inner code behind the word בראשית,”In the beginning”.
אבגיתץ has the numerical value of 506 and it is equal to “אהבת־חנם”, “Unconditional Love”.
The first lesson from the powerful prayer of Ana B’Koach is that we can start creating our angels and our world with the aspect of unconditional love. The world was creator for us with unconditional love of the Creator. We need to think about every action we do to have the aspect of love for no reason. We should nullify selfishness from our actions in order to establish a creative force that will help us.
As with everything, the beginning is tied closely with the end because we must always “Begin with the end in mind”. Positive thoughts in the beginning produce positive results.
We can find this aspect of love for no reason also in the last line of the Ana B’Koach and we’ll study it in one of the following DZ studies.
