Kabbalists On The Nature Of Man And The Nature Of The Creator, Part 12

Dr. Michael LaitmanDear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.

The Superiority of Man to the Beast

Animate: Each of them has its own sensation and characteristic. They can certainly operate against nature, meaning give, and they have individual life. Yet, they cannot feel more than their own being. In other words, they have no sensation of the other and hence, cannot care for the other.

Speaking: It can act against nature, is independent from the society, and feels the other, and hence can care for them and complement them by feeling and regretting with the public, being able to rejoice in the solace of the public, and by the ability to receive from the past and from the future.
– Baal HaSulam, Shamati (I Heard), Article #115, “Still, Vegetative, Animate, and Speaking”
[45997]
