אַשְׁרֵ֣י אָ֭דָם עֽוֹז־ל֥וֹ בָ֑ךְ מְ֝סִלּ֗וֹת בִּלְבָבָֽם׃
Mapalad ang tao na ang kanyang lakas ay nasa iyo; nasa kanilang puso ang mga lansangan.

We are now obliged to clarify the usefulness of this Shell and its interests in the world, because to say that it is to punish or etc. will not suffice. For the whole object of punishment is asked, it is the evil inclination and the Shell, there will be no Shell and there will be no evil inclination. And it is said that the reason for their creation. in the will of the Creator, is to be that the world and its creatures needed to receive their sustenance and livelihood by the power of law and justice and righteousness, and if they were all non-elective angels in their actions, the world would not benefit from their actions, because they are forced act as angels. And for this reason, man must have a choice, and be inhabited by the evil inclination and the good inclination, that if he, by his own nature, would want to incline towards good, his evil inclination, Samael, would incline him to evil on his left; and when he wants to incline towards evil, on his right will be his good inclination to guilt him, and remind him of the words of his Creator in such a way that he will be rewarded for the inclination, good or bad. And to judge a man according to his deeds, it is necessary that he have aspects which are unclean – as like a slave who rebels against his master – to torment the wicked, so that his wickedness and evils in their numbers will cling to wickedness on its proper side, and so he will receive punishment. This matter is clarified well in the Zohar. All of what the Holy One, Blessed be He, caused Himself to go down in order to show all honorable rituals. (stopped at וכי מאן חמי עבדא)
