Description
Going up to Meron is not hard but bringing Rebbi Shimon down into our lives is very difficult. The words naaseh adam baavurechah (let us make a man for your sake) were said about Rebbi Shimon. The Beis Hamikdash is the light of the whole world. This world, by definition, is an olam hafuch (upside down world), desfeikah (full of doubt), relativism, the guf (body), which is the opposite of the neshamah (soul) and truth. We must make sure that our life is not one big mistake. We can be engaged in Torah and mitzvos (commandments) for the sake of this world, or for the sake of olam ha'emes (the world of truth). How Jews are to live in halacha (Jewish law) in this world was not found clearly in one place. Rebbi Shimon opened our eyes to nishmaso d'oraisa (the soul of Torah) through the Zohar. People spend their day learning but don't think about G-d. The stubborness of those who refuse to seek understanding in nistar (hidden Torah) and eat from the tree of life. Stories about Rebbi Shimon and his tziyun (burial place).
