What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Zamir Cohen’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Let's imagine a king who takes one of his ministers, gives him broad authority, and makes him almost his equal. You will run the country. I trust you. You make the decisions. You call the shots. The risk in such a situation is that this minister might start imagining that he's the king. Because he has so much authority, he decides, he rules, he controls everything. The Holy One, blessed be he, created man and gave him the power to rule over all of creation, just like God himself. A person can blow things up, can build, both in this world and in the higher
