Description

P. 59. Tzaddik Badin - Acquittal in the case being judged, rather than a righteous person. Din (judgement) is generally based on the overall picture. The term tzaddik in the Gemarah (Talmud) is used only as a judgement of the person - the concept is reward and punishment. A person's different states of mind/being. A true tzaddik (righteous person) has no yetzer harah (evil inclination); he got rid of it - this is very rare. Neither the tzaddik nor the beinuni (intermediate person) do, say or even think anything bad. Understanding the inner spiritual structure of a Jew. The two souls in every Jew - nefesh habehamis (animalistic soul) and nefesh Elokis (divine soul).
