Lashon Harah & Shmiras Halashon - The Importance of Guarding One's Tongue | Part 3

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

What have we seen so far? Let's recapitulate. What do we see? That if man does appropriate acts called mitzvahs, then what happens is his existence is sustained. Not only that, but he gets the kedusha flow, which of course sustains his existence. He has access to the yichud of that flow, cuz the flow from God really means uh a comprehension of the flow itself. So, he can access that yichud. That act the access the flow itself. So, therefore, what happens is that flow gives him power, and it gives him hasaga of the yichud of God. And therefore, of course, he's able to promote that. And if it increases to such an extent as a result of his mitzvahs, he actually brings down the shechinah itself. We saw on the reverse that if man does not do uh mitzvahs, instead he does inappropriate acts called chato'im or sins, then that flow, that kedusha, that shefa that would go to man is shunted or diverted to the satan. Therefore, what happens is that he's yinek. He feeds off that power, or he feeds off that kedusha, that shefa, and he is sustained. But what we see now, it's more than he's sustained. He has access to the nature of the kedusha or the flow itself, whatever it is. In other words, he has access to the yichud that is enmeshed in this flow.
