The Zohar's parable: a King hires the woman of ill repute to seduce his son to test his moral standing. Realizing that our thoughts and desires all stem from Hashem and sending them “back to sender”. The true meaning of mesirus nefesh (self sacrifice) for our generation. Making all decisions in life based only on what Hashem would want. Two different approaches: does fear precede love or love precede fear? The different interpretations of “sur mayra va’ase tov” (cast aside bad and then do good) by Baalei mussar and the Baal Shem Tov .
