קבלה אויף משלי 10:1

This being so, know and have faith that the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah and the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut, are aligned to each other. When the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut is in a state of repair, meaning, when the Jewish people fulfill Torah and mitzvot, the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah then appears, in order to bestow all manner of beneficence and blessings by way of the Sefirot, until the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut become blessed and filled. The people of the world are then in a state of tranquility and security, and blessing is sent in the form of all kinds of food and sustenance, and we find it to be a state in which blessing-Brachah-ברכה adheres to the land-Aretz-ארץ. This is the meaning of the verse,¹¹³Leviticus 26:3 “If you follow My statutes” and the order of all the blessings set forth there. If, however, they ruin the line and transgress the Written and Oral Torah, exchanging the laws and breaking the covenant, then the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah does not bestow blessings, and it becomes as if the Sefirot are in a state of lacking, since the source has ceased and withdrawn. In this case, the Sefirah of Foundation-Yesod returns to be gathered in and ascends to the source of its yearning, which is the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah, and the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut is left alone and dry, lacking everything-Kol-כל. In such a case, the world is in such a state, that it is full with all kinds of curses, these being the matter of the curses mentioned in Torah. That is, because of the Jewish people, the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut is smitten, as stated,¹¹⁴Proverbs 10:1 – The mother-Imma-אמא refers to the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah. “A foolish son is his Mother’s sorrow,” and,¹¹⁵Isaiah 50:1 “It is because of your rebellious sins that your Mother was sent away.” When this happens, the Sefirah of Splendor-Tiferet¹¹⁶Which is the Name HaShem-יהו״ה is robbed of the river above her, called Understanding-Binah, and the Jewish people are sent away and separated, as in the verse,¹¹⁷Proverbs 19:26 “He robs his father and drives out his mother – the son who shames and humiliates.” It similarly states,¹¹⁸Isaiah 57:1 “Because of the evil, the righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק is gathered in.” Our intention here has already been explained in the previous Gates.¹¹⁹That is, to understand the meaning of what is being hinted here, one must have a thorough understanding of what was explained in the previous gates and contemplate them. It likewise states,¹²⁰Proverbs 16:28 “A querulous person estranges the Master.”
