Jasidut sobre Génesis 4:13

It is a very important principle to know that everything that exists in the world possesses sparks of Holiness. There is nothing devoid of these sparks. Even trees and stones possess them, as well as all the deeds that a person does. Even when a person sins, God forbid, therein are sparks of holiness that fell into impurity with the shattering of the vessel (Shevirah). You might ask, what are the sparks of holiness in sin? The answer is repentance. That is, sin carries within it the potential to repent. When a person repents for his sins, he elevates the sparks of holiness that were imprisoned in the sin and returns them to the Supernal World. It is in this respect that the verse states,²⁶⁶Exodus 34:7 “He bears iniquity (Nos’e Avon-נושא עון).” The term “Nos’e-נושא” also means “uplifts,” indicating that HaShem, “uplifts iniquity” to the Supernal World above. This is also the meaning of the verse,²⁶⁷Genesis 4:13 “My sin is too great to bear-מנשא,” meaning, “too great to elevate and uplift to the Supernal World.”
