Chasidut para sa Deuteronomio 10:13

"One should strengthen himself like a lion to stand up in the morning" etc., i.e. one must arise quickly without laziness, and this is the aspect of emunah/faith, as our Rebbi wrote (in Sefer Hamidot -- Quickness), that zerizut/quickness is like faith. For at night the faith is amongst the klipot/shells, but in the morning the faith grows and is awakened. Therefore one must arise from sleep in quickness, to strengthen himself in faith in order to build and to grow [in] faith. And this is "that he should be the one to wake up the dawn," i.e. the aspect of the gazelle of the dawn, the aspect of malkhut/kingship, the aspect of faith, and this is the aspect of breaking the lust for money, through which one can raise the souls and drawn down Torah. As it is written in the teaching "Happy are the people" [regarding Divine] supervision (in Likutei Moharan 13); see there. Because each and every day one must receive the Torah anew, as our Rabbis of blessed memory said (Deuteronomy 10:13) "...which I command you today..."; let them be each day like new in your eyes (Sifri there). And receiving the Torah is through raising the soul and renewing it, as explained there. And this is done through breaking the lust for money, as mentioned above, which is the aspect of waking from sleep quickly, the aspect of faith as mentioned above. For the lust of money is like apostasy, like night, like darkness, dark face, like sadness and laziness, like death, like sleep which is one sixtieth of death (Berachot 57). And one needs strengthening to break the sleep which is like death, the aspect of the lust for money. And then he can renew his soul and rise up and bring down Torah. And then when he breaks the sleep, the lust for money, then on the contrary the sleep is, on the contrary, specifically good for him. For through sleep he renews his soul, the aspect of (Lamentations 3:23) "They [Hashem's kindnesses] are new every morning: great is Your faithfulness." And likewise through money he renews his soul through trade/[lit. buying and selling] in faith, which is like sleep, as is written in the Torah "Happy are the people..." [where he discusses the] zarka [the “~“ cantillation mark] (Likutei Moharan 35) and this is the explanation of "How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?" I.e. how long will you sleep in laziness? When will you break the sleep, whereupon, on the contrary, through sleep he will strengthen his mentalities and his soul will be renewed, as mentioned above. And this is the idea of "when will you arise out of your sleep?" In other words, that you should be revived, that your soul should stand and rise up via the sleep. And when one merits to raise up his soul through breaking the sleep, through this he makes unification of the Blessed Holy One and His Presence. And this is the idea of "that he should be the one to wake up the dawn," to awake "the gazelle of the dawn" to mate. And this is the explanation of "one should strengthen himself like a lion" which is the aspect of collections of souls, to raise them up, as our Rebbi wrote in the lesson “Happy are the people” (Likutei Moharan 13). The aspect of "I have gathered my myrrh with my spice" and through this one draws down complete [Heavenly] supervision, through drawing close to the power of vision through the Torah. And this is (Psalms 16:8) "I have set Hashem before me always", in other words, that His supervision is always upon us. And this is that which is written ([SA OC]1:3) that it is proper for all those who fear Heaven that they should be afflicted and concerned about the destruction of the Holy Temple, for whoever mourns Jerusalem shall merit to see its joy, as our Rabbis said in Bava Batra 60. We find, that through being afflicted and concerned over the Holy Temple, this is an aspect its construction. And building the Holy Temple is the aspect of building knowledge, through which one can raise souls, as mentioned above. As explained in the Likutei Moharan 13 mentioned above, see there. And this is the aspect of rising at midnight, that one breaks the sleep which is like the lust for money and he mourns Jerusalem and the destruction of the Holy Temple and through this he builds it. And through building the Holy Temple, through this they can collect the souls and raise them up. And therefore midnight sweetens judgments, for they break the sleep which is like death, like apostasy as mentioned above. For as long as there is idolatry etc. [there is (Divine) anger in the world] (Sifri, Parshat Re'eh) and through rising at midnight we raise the faith and draw down loving-kindnesses. And this is what our Rebbi said (Likutei Moharan 149) that midnight is as effective as a pidyon (redemption) — like a pidyon specifically. For a pidyon is like charity, that breaks the lust for money and sweetens the judgments. And likewise [rising at] midnight is breaking the sleep which is the aspect of the lust for money as mentioned above, through which judgments are sweetened, as mentioned above.
