Today, Shirdanya is the beginning of Parakud Bayes. In the previous pracim, the Altareva described that Sadhic as someone who succeeds in overcoming his Nefesha Bahamas, his animal soul, and his Nefesha likis, his godly soul, has soul influence on his life. On the other end, for the Russia, his Nefesha Bahamas is strong enough to be able to influence his thought, speech, and action. In today's share, the Altareva turns to describe the life of the Bainanee, which is in between its Haldik and the Russia.

The Bainanee does not allow himself to be even for a moment in the category of a Russia. His Nefesha Bahamas is never strong enough to influence his thought, speech, or action. He lives his life in such a way that he would never commit an anveira at transgression. So why isn't he considered to be a tadaq?

That is because internally, the intellect and emotions of his Nefesha likis do not have exclusive influence and control, only during divinely opportune times, such as the time of reciting Shama and Davening, or the intellect and emotions of his Nefesha likis in complete control, through meditating upon the greatness of a Shem, thereby awakening a burning love for a Shem to cleave tada Shem through tada mitzvas, which is the theme of the paragraphs of the Shemah and its brakas. But after Davening, once that opportunity passes, his Nefesha Bahamas reawakens within him to crave worldly pleasures.
