[The Gate of Unity 32:26](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:26)

כמו שכתוב בעץ חיים בטעם שנקרא לב, מפני שמתקבצים שם ל''ב אורות דאבא ואמא, שהן ל''ב שבילין

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is in accordance with what is stated in *Etz Chayim*,¹²), Ch. 4; Also see Ma’amarei Admor Ha’Emtza’ee, Devarim, Vol. 3, pg. 994. that the reason it is called “*Lev-*לב-32” is because the thirty-two lights of *Abba* and *Imma* gather there. These are the thirty-two pathways.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(These are the thirty-two [times that it states in the Act of Creation] “And God said-*VaYomer Elohi”m*-ויאמר אלהי״ם,” which [refers to] *Binah*, as it receives from *Abba*¹³ Vayikra, Vol.2, pg. 625; Devarim*,* Vol. 2, pg. 651.) as explained elsewhere at length.

והנה ודאי כאשר צריך להיות התהוות התפעלות המדה בלב מן העלם התפעלות המדה בהיותה בשכל והשגה דבינה, הוצרך להיות תחלה בחינת צמצום והעלם וכיווץ שנקרא הסתלקות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, certainly, in order for there to be an arousal of an emotion in the heart from the concealed arousal of that emotion as it exists in the intellect and comprehension of *Binah*, there must first be an aspect of a *Tzimtzum,* concealment and gathering, which is called a withdrawal.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:29
[The Gate of Unity 32:29](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:29)

(This is analogous to a seed decaying so that there can be a transformation from one [state of] being to a different [state of] being, as known.¹⁴)

והוא בחינת מיצר הגרון דבינה, שנתעלם שם התפעלות השכל ונמשך להיות בשינוי המהות בהתפעלות הלב

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This [*Tzimtzum –* lessening] is the aspect of the “Narrowness of the neck – *Meitzar HaGaron*” of *Binah*, in which the arousal of the intellect becomes concealed, and is drawn down as an arousal in the heart through a transformation of [its state of] being.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:31
[The Gate of Unity 32:31](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:31)

(וכמו בחינת קרומא כו' שהוא המעלים ומפסיק מכח עליון שלמעלה מן השכל, לבוא לשינוי המהות בגלוי אור השכלה כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is similar to the aspect of the “Airy Membrane – *Krooma D’Avirah*” that conceals and separates between the upper power which transcends intellect, [and the intellect], so that it may be revealed as the light of the intellect through a transformation of [its state of] being.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:32
[The Gate of Unity 32:32](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:32)

וכמו חצר הכבד שמפסיק ומבדיל בין אברי הנשימה לאברי המזון להיות שינוי המהות וכמו שכתוב במקום אחר באריכות)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
It is also similar to the “Diaphragm – *Chatzer HaKaved*” which divides and separates between the respiratory system and the digestive system in order to bring about a transformation of [state of] being, as explained elsewhere at length.)

אך עם כל זה המדות שבלב הן בדומה ממש אל המדות שבשכל, ממש כאופני התפעלותם במוח, בלי נטיה כקוצו של יו''ד כידוע

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Nevertheless, the emotions of the heart are patterned after the emotions of the intellect, literally. They are literally according to how they were aroused in the brain, without any deviation whatsoever, even as much as the “thorn of the letter *Yod*,”¹⁵ as known.

footnotes:
¹⁵ This expression means “even the tiniest amount.” An equivalent English idiom would be, “Even to a hair’s breadth.”


###### The Gate of Unity 32:34
[The Gate of Unity 32:34](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:34)

רק שבלב באין בשינוי המהות ובהגבלה וצמצום דבחינת נצח והוד דבינה, שהוא שליחות שפע אור ההשגה בעצם, בשביל התפעלות המדה לבד כידוע

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The only exception is that in the heart they come about through a transformation of their [state of] being, according to the limitation and restraint of *Netzach* and *Hod* of *Binah*, which constitute the sending forth of the influence of the light of the essential comprehension, for the sole purpose of arousing the emotions, as known.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:35
[The Gate of Unity 32:35](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:35)

ובמדות שבלב כלול מג' מדריגות, חב''ד חג''ת נה''י

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, included in the emotions of the heart are the three levels of *ChaBa”D, ChaGa”T* and *NeHi”Y*.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:36
[The Gate of Unity 32:36](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:36)

דהיינו בחינת המושכל ומורגש ומוטבע הנזכר לעיל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
These are the “*Mooskal* – The Intellect [of the Emotions],” the “*Moorgash* – The Felt [arousal of the emotions]” and the “*Mootba* – The Natural [Response of the Emotions],” which were mentioned previously.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:37

[The Gate of Unity 32:38](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:38)

אך הנה גם בחינת החיצוניות דכלים דנה''י שבלב - שהוא בחינת התפעלות החסד והאהבה שבלב כשבאה לידי השפעה לחוץ, שנקרא נה''י דחזה במחשבה דיבור ומעשה, היינו על ידי חיצוניות הכלי דלב, שהוא בחינת המוטבע אשר בהבל החזה דזעיר אנפין דאצילות, שעל זה אמר איהו וגרמוהי חד - הכל עדיין בבחינת אין סוף

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, even the aspect of the externality of the vessels of *NeHi”Y* of the heart, which is the aspect of the arousal of the kindness and love of the heart, as it comes to be [expressed] as influence to the outside, which is called *NeHi”Y* of the chest [as it is expressed] within the Thought, Speech and Action, which comes [about] through the externality of the vessel of the heart, which is the aspect of the “*Mootba* – The Natural [response of the emotions]” of the breath of the chest of *Zeir Anpin* of [the world of] *Atzilut*, about which it states,¹⁶ 3b. “He and His organs are one,” is [nonetheless] all still in an aspect of the limitless state of the Unlimited One (*Ein Sof*), *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He.

###### The Gate of Unity 32:40
[The Gate of Unity 32:40](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:40)

כאשר הרצון העצמי שבבחינת מקיף דיחידה הנזכר לעיל, מאיר ובא בגלוי במוחין דחכמה ובינה, עד שיורד ומתצמצם בקטנות המוחין דכלי דנצח והוד דחסד מורגש שבלב, שהוא בהבל החזה - הרי גם שם הרצון מאיר

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
When the essential desire, which is in an aspect of the encompassing [light] of the aforementioned *Yechidah* [level of the soul], radiates and comes into revelation in the brains of *Chochmah* and *Binah*, to the point that it descends and constricts within the “smallness” of the brains of *Netzach* and *Hod* of *Chessed,* as it is felt in the heart, which is the breath of the chest, we find that even there, the [essential] desire radiates.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:41
[The Gate of Unity 32:41](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/32:41)

כי אנו רואים שבהבל הלב גם כן מורגש הרצון

ונקרא רעותא דלבא, מה שלבו חפץ במורגש לדבר טוב, ולמאוס בהעדר הרצון בלב לדבר רע השנאוי כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is called, “*Re’oota D’Leeba* – The Desire of the Heart,”¹⁷ which is the fact that his heart lusts in a **felt** way for something good, and loathes that which is bad and despised, through the absence of desire [for it] in the heart.

footnotes:
¹⁷ See Zohar I 100a and elsewhere.


###### The Gate of Unity 32:43

אם כן, מתאחד ומתקשר ממקור הרצון העצמי עד הבל הלב ברגע אחד, כאילו הוא מהות אחד ממש

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This being the case, [we find that] there is an instantaneous unification and bond between the [original] source of the essential desire and the [external] breath of the heart, as if they are literally one entity.

הרי בבחינת חיצוניות הכלי דנצח והוד דלב זה, מאיר שם מבחינת הרצון הפשוט העצמי שבעצמות אור אין סוף שלפני הצמצום הראשון

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
We find that within the aspect of the externality of the vessels of *Netzach* and *Hod* of this heart, there is a radiance of the aspect of the simple essential desire of the Essential Self of the limitless Light of the Unlimited One, *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He, Who precedes the first *Tzimtzum*.

(הנזכר באות יו''ד בבחינת יחיד ואחד כו', במשל חפץ חסד העצמי בעצמות הנפש כו')

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
([This aspect] was mentioned previously in chapter ten, in regard to the aspects of *Yachid* and *Echad* etc., through the analogy of the essential desire for kindness [as it exists] within the essence of the [human] soul etc.)

ואם כן עד בחינת חיצוניות הלב דזעיר אנפין נחשב עדיין הכל מסוף עולם האין סוף

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This being the case, even up to the aspect of the externality of the heart of *Zeir Anpin,* it still is completely considered to be the end of the World of the Unlimited One (*Olam HaEin Sof*), *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He.

משום דאיהו וגרמוהי חד, כמו באדם, שלבו ורצונו העצמי אחד הוא כו' ודי למבין:

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because, “He and His organs are one” just as it is in a human being, whose heart is one with his essential desire. This will suffice for those of understanding.
