Foundation for Building
Rabash
When building a building in
corporeality,
we see that anyone
who wants to build a building
must first dig the foundations,
and on the foundation
he builds the building.
In digging the foundation,
we see that we should discern
between having to build
a one-story building-
that is, only the ground floor-
or a multi-story building.
Thus, the digging of the
foundation
into the ground
should be according to the height
of the building.
The foundation is not dug at
once.
Rather, each day
the foundation is built
so that it will be deeper,
and then one can build
a higher building.
The same order
applies in spirituality.
When a person wishes to build
a one-story building,
he doesn’t need to dig very deep.
He only digs a little,
and he can build his building
in keeping Torah and Mitzvot
[commandments].
And what is digging in
spirituality?
It is a deficiency,
when a deficiency
is dug in the heart,
Since the heart is called
“desire,”
a heart is called Malchut,
and a heart is called
“earth” or “ground.”
