The lower soul has darkness, thus our lives are chaotic in
nature. This is why we constantly have
to adjust our nature – taking on G-d’s nature.
We are not permitted to relax.
The Sabbath is meant to be a day of rest from that constant adjusting. We tend to focus on identifying work and its
avoidance to a greater degree than we have to.
Many times we are literally working harder at avoiding work then we
should. The work to be avoided is not
only a job, but it is also to keep ourselves out of situations that require us
to adapt our nature. In short we rest to
avoid social conditioning by a culture that is opposed to the Creator’s will.
This work we are to avoid having to adjust or defend our
nature. We need a chance to catch our
breath. During our week we are adapting
and adjusting to the Creator’s will. We
are also fortifying that positive nature we developed that is contrary to our
world. On the Sabbath we are to rest
from that toil.
Ask yourself: Do you
use the week to prepare for the Sabbath so that it becomes a day of being at a
higher plateau or is it a day to refrain from work only?
