Description

Continuing in the Sod Yesharim. Man was created with two faces, a male and female, back to back. Therefore, man has the ability to be both a giver and receiver. His uniqueness is that he can simultaneously give and remain attached to the notion that he is always a receiver from God. The choice of Man lies in remembering that he is always a receiver. This is the purpose of creation and man’s ego will always try and make him forget that. In the future, God will make it clear that the feminine ability of reception is much more exalted than the giving male ability. Completion comes about when man is able to think otherwise, yet chooses to acknowledge God's will has the acting force.
