In this chapter, the Alter Rebbe continues explaining about "Shells." Another thing that happens when you eat food that isn't... kosher<\/i> Even if the person didn't know they couldn't eat it, and even if they prayed and studied afterwards, it still didn't happen. Torah<\/i> With the strength that food gave him, the strength of that food remains "tied" to the "impure shell" and cannot be raised to holiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

To conclude the topic of the \u201cShells,\u201d the bright and the impure, the Alter Rebbe explains that these two types of \u201cShells\u201d create two types of \u201cinclination to evil\u201d within us.<\/p>\n

To lean forward is like when we hear two friends talking from afar; we lean forward, we get closer to them, to hear better. We all have inclinations within us. And there are two: \u201cInclination to good\u201d (ietzer tov<\/i>) and \u201cInclination to evil\u201d (yetzer will<\/i>).<\/p>\n

1) The \u201cinclination to evil\u201d that receives vitality from the \u201cshining shell\u201d is called the \u201cJewish inclination to evil,\u201d which wants to do things that, while not transgressions of the Torah<\/i>, They are not made to serve Hashem<\/i>.<\/p>\n

2) The \u201cinclination to evil\u201d that receives vitality from the \u201cimpure shell\u201d is called the \u201cinclination to gentile evil,\u201d which wants us to commit transgressions of the Torah<\/i>.<\/p>\n

If a person listens to their \u201cJewish evil inclination\u201d, and, for example, eats something permitted by the Torah<\/i> but without thinking about using the energy that food provides to serve Hashem<\/i>, He must repent and receive a \u201cspecial cleansing\u201d of Hashem<\/i>, Because until he repented, that energy had fallen into the "impure shell" and left a mark on his soul, which Hashem<\/i> Erase it with that "special cleaning".<\/p>\n

The Alter Rebbe brings the story1<\/sup><\/a> From Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, a great rabbi in the history of our people. Before passing away, he raised his hands to heaven and said that he had never profited from this world\u2014not even with his little finger! Although he was very wealthy and had many meals fit for kings, everything he did was to serve God. Hashem<\/i>. This means that she did not need any "special cleansing," because she had no "Jewish evil inclination.".<\/p>\n

The same thing happens when someone talks nonsense, like about football or some other silly thing, or when someone knows nothing about Torah<\/i>, who, invariably, spends all day saying things that are not helpful to Hashem<\/i>, It also needs a "special cleansing" in addition to repentance.<\/p>\n

In addition to the actions permitted by the Torah<\/i> But when used senselessly, there are words a Jew is forbidden to say, such as slander, insults, and gossip. This stems from the "inclination toward evil Gentiles" and does not reach the "special purification" of Hashem<\/i> to erase the mark made on the soul, but a \u201cdeep cleansing\u201d is needed.<\/p>\n

The same applies to people who could study Torah<\/i> Because they know and have the time, and instead they engage in foolishness, they receive two "cleansings," one for the foolishness they said and another for neglecting their studies. Torah<\/i>.<\/p>\n

At the end of the chapter, the Alter Rebbe says that we must be careful not only with our words, thoughts, and actions (the \u201cGarments\u201d of the soul), but also with what we feel (Emotions) and know (Intellect).<\/p>\n

If we think, say, or do foolish things, we are defiling the "Garments" of the Divine Soul. If we feel love for football, for example, instead of love for Hashem<\/i>, We are impure the Emotions of the Divine Soul.<\/p>\n

But there is something even worse\u2026 to corrupt the Intellectual \u201cTools\u201d of the Divine Soul (Chokhmah<\/i>, bin\u00e1<\/i> y daat<\/i>These are \u201cTools\u201d that Hashem<\/i> He gave us the means to understand Him and His Torah<\/i>. If the intellect is used to study and learn about things that are not Torah<\/i> Without any useful reason, we are surely impure the Intellect itself.<\/p>\n

But there is an exception: if that knowledge is used that is not of Torah<\/i> to support the family and serve Hashem<\/i> calm, or if they are used directly for service to Hashem<\/i>, like the Rambam (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, 1135-1204, great sage of the Torah<\/i> and doctor) or the Ramban (Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman, 1194-1270, also a great sage of the Torah<\/i> and doctor) who, through their age-old knowledge, were able to bring the wisdom of the Torah<\/i> to other people.<\/p>\n
