Description

P. 158. Concluding the 3rd perek. If you have daas (knowledge), you are not missing anything. Daas gives us chiyus (life, new energy and vitality) and kiyum (continuity, stability, consistency). Daas is the middah (quality) that holds all of the middos together. Having daas brings a hisorerus (awakening) of ahava (love) and yira (fear). All of the middos are offshoots of ahava and yira as embodied in the sefiros of chesed (kindness) and gevurah (strictness). The yesod (foundation) of the Chabad pathway is through hisbonenus (deep contemplation) from chochma, which is an avodah (holy work) from the mochin (mental powers).
