Musar untuk Ayub 14:22

However, if the neshamah did not yet merit a place in the upper Gan Eden but remains outside the holy partition, wandering back and forth, the ruach and nefesh are also condemned to wander to and fro. And every time they enter the grave and behold the body covered with worms, its mouth agape, swarming with worms, and the intestines filled with maggots and worms, then the neshamah mourns over it, as it is stated, “And his soul will mourn over him” (Iyov 14:22). But none of this is the case if the body was holy and pure. Then the disintegration of the flesh is effected by the soil alone and it immediately turns to dust and ashes without enduring the agony caused by the worms and maggots. This is the reward of the body. As for the reward of the neshamah, it immediately ascends to the upper Gan Eden while the ruach ascends to the lower Gan Eden.

And moreover, if one’s father, mother, or relatives are suffering, one is obligated to be distressed over them. And this is half of the consolation of a person: that he sees that others are also distressed over his pain. Along these lines, a person who is distressed over the sorrow of heaven, proportional to his suffering he brings satisfaction to his creator, and proportional to the pain is the reward. And it bears fruit, for proportional to his suffering he increasingly tries to straighten that which he has perverted and does everything in his power to lessen the suffering of his father in Heaven, just as a son who loves his father and sees him in pain, writhing in his suffering, whose flesh aches upon him [Job 14:22], and who endangers his life to save him from his suffering. And as the Kabbalists have already written, proportional to the pain and groaning and suffering that one experiences over his sins, thus so he increasingly purifies his soul. Behold, how precious indeed are the words of the wise man (Mivchar HaPeninim 44:46), who said to someone who he saw in distress, if your pain is about things in this world, the Holy One, blessed be He, will remove your distress, and if it is over the sorrow of Heaven, the Holy One, blessed be He, will add more and more sorrow to you.
