This happens during Galus. In the times of thr BH”M, Malchus (and thus Atzlius) is whole, complete, and the Ayin Sarim are automatically battul to Kedusha.The Navi is coming to tell us that even in Galus, there can be both rinah and simcha by Bas Tzion. This happens through an Isarusah dil’Eilah which comes about on its own (ish ish= no ISADL”T). Even though its not from our own effort (which usually implies that its effect will be Makkif), it effects us in a way of Pnimius.“Mi K’Hashem Elokeinu hamagbihi lashaves hamashpili liros bashomayim uv’aretz”“ki ner mitzvah v’Torah or”, “ner Havayah nishmas adam”. Both Mitzvos and the Neshamah are compared to a candle. We need to understand the comparison.The Candle: The main part of a candle is the wick, which anchors the flame. However, for the flame to last over time, there must be oil, which feeds the flame (and is destroyed as a result). On the other hand, oil itself cannot feed the flame. The wick is that which serves as an intermediary between the flame and its fuel.The Neshama as Candle:“v’ahavata…bishnei yitzarecha”. What does it mean to convince the Yetzer Hara to love Hashem?There are two nefashos: NH”E and NH”B. The main aspect of each Neshama is its cognitive aspect (Sechel). The emotions of each Nehsmah are what we refer to when we say “yetzer tov/ra” (Middos). The sechel of the NH”E only knows Elokus and creates middos based on this understanding. The Sechel of the NH”B only understands this world. The goal is that we transform the middos of the NH”B to also love Hashem. This happens through thinking about how the only true reality is Elokus. When one realizes this, one can get even the NH”B to forget about its worldly interests and experience a love for Hashem. In this case, the wick is the NH”E, which transforms the NH”B into fuel...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/sXcMaTI8NX0sf3CRANJgraW3vRTGF4Cd7BFP1XnWsRQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMyNjA3LzE2Njc5/NTA4MzYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
