The Holy Idra Zuta - The Manner of Division of the Se’arot
40. One path shines in the middle of the division of the Se’arot [hairs] that emerge from the blocked Moach [brain], HS, between the four phases of Se’arot in the right line of the Rosh, and the four phases of Se’arot in the left line of the Rosh. It is a path in which the righteous shine for the next world, as it is written, “And the path [also conduct/manner] of the righteous is like a shining light.” This is why it is written, “Then you will delight on the Lord.” All the other paths that are dependent on ZA, which are 613 paths, shine from this path.
All the corrections said in AA operate only in ZA, since ZA is corrected through them. Between the two lines right and left in AA, there is a white path, vacant of hair. On the one hand, there is no grip in it to any judgments in the world, indicating its being free from Se’arot. On the other hand, it contains right and left at once, since it is established between the two lines right and left.
Hence, this path bestows upon the path between the right and left of ZA, where the left in the Se’arot of its Rosh is judgments. Nevertheless, there is a middle line that contains the right and left of the Se’arot Rosh of ZA, in which there are no judgments whatsoever due to the incorporation of the middle line, since it receives through the division of the Se’arot of AA, in which there is no judgment in the left line, as well. The righteous for the next world receive from this path of division of the path of ZA, and for this reason, they always rise in degrees of holiness until they are rewarded with the end of correction, as it is written, “The path of the righteous is like a shining light, shining brighter and brighter until the full day.”
41. Atik, AA, the Elder of the Elders, from whom upper AVI are extended, who are called “old,” is the top Keter, above, Keter of AA, in which all the crowns are decorated, all the Mochin called “crowns,” which are the seven corrections of the Rosh, and the thirteen corrections of the Dikna. The Ketarim [crowns] shine from it, namely AVI, and all the other candles, ZAT, in which there are judgments, are blazed by it and shine. This is why in itself, it is a high candle, hidden and unknown.
