Part 9 · Chapter 105

The Ari's Text

Indeed, her Kli [vessel] is her Yesod; and the MAN [Mayin Nukvin] are the five Gevurot of her portion, which she takes at the time of the Nesirah [sawing apart], as above. But those five Gevurot of his own are called Rucha Dilei de Shavik be Gavah [his spirit that he leaves in her]. For ZA [Zeir Anpin] is the secret of Ruach [spirit]; but when it is placed in her it is called Nefesh — "as her Nefesh was departing" — and therefore it is called a son and not a daughter. And since it is in the secret of back to back, it is not a complete Zivug [coupling], only Rucha de Shadi be Gavah [a spirit that he casts into her]. And it is the root for raising all the clarifications until the days of the Messiah, and it is the root of them all, for it is the first root of BON; and through it all the clarifications of the Melachim [kings] of ZON are clarified.

1The root for raising all the clarifications until the days of the Messiah: As written above, page 738, item 8: for attached to these AHP that she attained at the time of the sawing are the discernments of the GE of the souls of the righteous, who rose together with them and joined in the degree of the Nukva, equally with her AHP. And therefore, in the second coupling of the Mochin of Neshama, in which the Nukva received the discernment of the Rucha that her husband casts into her in the first coming — the discernments of the GE of the souls attached there also received from that same Rucha, equally with the AHP of the Nukva; except that the MAN of the soul of the righteous are still considered to be without form, since they have only now come out from within the shells, as above (page 735, item 6). Therefore their portion remains in the Nukva herself, in the manner that ZA took his portion and the portion of the Nukva, at the time when the Nukva was in the discernment of MAN without form, as above (page 803, the passage beginning “His portion”). Study it there well, throughout the entire continuation. And therefore all souls have a portion in this Rucha that her husband casts into her, which they take when they rise as MAN a second time, at the time when ZON expand to their place and are face to face, as written in its place.
And this is what he said: “And it is the root for raising all the clarifications until the days of the Messiah, and it is the root of them all,” etc. — that is, of all the souls that fell from Adam HaRishon, for they are all discernments of the VAK of the Nukva — namely, the discernment of her lower part — whose GE were attached to the Nukva at the time she received this Rucha that her husband casts into her; whereby all the souls were rooted in the discernment of the vessel and Rucha of the Nukva, by which she continually raises them as MAN, as written in their place — because of their bond in the vessel and Rucha, that they have their portion there, as written above in several places.
