Chasidut for Leviticus 6:2

צַ֤ו אֶֽת־אַהֲרֹן֙ וְאֶת־בָּנָ֣יו לֵאמֹ֔ר זֹ֥את תּוֹרַ֖ת הָעֹלָ֑ה הִ֣וא הָעֹלָ֡ה עַל֩ מוֹקְדָ֨ה עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֤חַ כָּל־הַלַּ֙יְלָה֙ עַד־הַבֹּ֔קֶר וְאֵ֥שׁ הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ תּ֥וּקַד בּֽוֹ׃

Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt-offering: it is that which goeth up on its firewood upon the altar all night unto the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning thereby.

In Noam Elimelekh Parshat Tzav, on the verse “Zot torat haOlah,”555Leviticus 6:2. it says: “It is impossible for one to break all his tendencies with which he has grown up with from his mother’s womb. Rather one must raise them to holiness. For example, one who has the trait of anger should turn away from ‘external’ anger and be angry at the wicked. So too with all traits.” This refers to the aforementioned hasidic avodah, of ‘for from it we shall take to serve the Lord.’
