09a. Basi Ligani (באתי לגני) 5713 (Muga) – Class One

Class One. The essence of the Maamar is that Shtus is about Aveiros that are lower than Klipos. Ordinary Klipa is ‘Shituf’ or ‘Eluku DiElukaiu’ [This includes Klipas Noga and the lower Klipos]; while Shtus is Avoda Zara that is lower than Shituf. This Maamar then explains how Shtus is going against the nature of the person on two levels. First he speaks of Yidden and Goyim as one, explaining that an Aveira is going against the nature of the animal Soul of the person. He then advances to the nature of the Godly Soul, which only a Jew has and explains that on the level of the Godly Soul there is a second, higher, level of Shtus, defying the nature of the Godly Soul!
