Therefore he who transgresseth the first part of that verse doth the same as if he were to transgress the whole.
Blessed is the portion of the just, concerning whom it is said, Prov. xi. 13, “A tale-bearer revealeth secrets, but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.”
“Spirit, RVCh, Ruach,” properly (is used here) for the Ruach of such is extracted from the Supernal Holy Place.
Now we have said that this is a symbol. Whosoever revealeth Arcana with fixed purpose of mind, he is not of the body of the Most Holy King.
And therefore to such a man nothing is an Arcanum, neither is from the place of the Arcanum.
And whensoever his soul departeth, the same adhereth not unto the body of the King, for it is not his place. Woe unto that man! woe unto himself! woe unto his Neschamah![866]
But blessed is the portion of the just who conceal secrets, and much more the Supernal Arcana of God the Most Holy One—blessed be He!—the highest Arcana of the Most Holy King.
Concerning them it is written, Isa. lx. 21, “Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever.”
