Eitzot Yisharot on Shmiras HaBris

The 'Truth' Helps A Person Escape the Lusts 
The 'Truth' is the concept of 'Hashem's candle that searches all inner rooms', since through the 'Truth' one can search all the inner rooms and escape the darkness and gloom that infiltrate the inner rooms, which are the essence of the lusts and bad attributes. The 'Truth' can light up all the inner rooms and helps advise and strengthen a person how to return from all these to Hashem.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 13 based on LH Hilchos Geneva, Halacha 5, Section 14)

'Truth' With Lusts Needs Further Separation From 'Falsehood' 
Even if it appears to a person that he knows the 'Truth', only that his lusts still overwhelm him so much that he does not have the power to stand up against them, this is also 'Falsehood'. If a person would only continue to pull himself to the 'Truth', he will certainly get the strength and advice needed to escape them. Hashem does not approach his creations with grievances and does not send a person a test that he can not overcome.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 13 based on LH Hilchos Geneva, Halacha 5, Section 14)

Impossible to Convey Advice Needed for Each Person in Every Situation and Time
There is much to discuss about this topic but it is not possible to completely explain the purity of the 'Truth' that each person needs, each day and each hour according to his situation especially when it comes to strengthening himself.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 13 based on LH Hilchos Geneva, Halacha 5, Section 14)

We Need the True Tzadikim
Even people that are righteous, G-d fearing and study Torah can not reach completion without the true Sages and Tzadikim. Certainly this applies to a person who committed a flaw, and for sure to a person that committed many sins and caused many flaws, Heaven forbid, as is commonly found nowadays due to our many sins. Such a person certainly can not be healed in body and soul without the great and wondrous Tzadikim that know how to expound the Torah with truth and completion. They know the the roots of the souls of every Jew as it is found in the Torah. They also know how to explain and make clear all the paths, advice, methods and techniques that any person who wishes to enter inside holiness needs. In a way that every individual can receive a cure for any form of mental or physical illness that exists.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 17 based on LH Hilchos Shabbos, Halacha 6, Section 3)

Emuna Incomplete Without Faith in Tzadikim
The main component of our 'holy faith', is faith in the Sages, since they draw us down the 'holy faith' with completion. Due to that, without faith in the Sages a persons faith in Hashem is also not complete.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 18 based on LH Hilchos Shabbos, Halacha 6, Section 11)

Permissible Levels of Delving are Relative to Person 
A person has to be cautious not to enter and delve in things where he does not have permission to do so as in the concept of "What is profound to you do not delve into". As soon as a person sees something that makes him confounded, that he can not understand and comprehend - he should run away from there and lean only on his faith. A person that flaws in this, it is an element of the flaw of eating milk and meat together.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 20 based on LH Hilchos Divarim Hayotzim Min Hachi, Halacha 4, Section 40)

Faith Dispels Worries and Fear 
A person whose heart is complete with Hashem and his faith is strong and believes that everything happens only according to Hashem's will, he is always happy and never has any worries or fear at all, from anything that exists in the world.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 21 based on LH Hilchos Keli Hayayin, Halacha 1, Section 1)

Mikva Increases Emuna
Immersing and purification in the mikva is auspicious to raise and complete a person's faith.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 22 based on LH Hilchos Giluach, Halacha 4, Section 16)

Hisbodedute is the Starting Point of Everything
It is not possible to fully rectify the lust for wealth, as long as a person did not merit to reach complete faith. Likewise it is not possible to merit complete faith as long as a person did not nullify his desire for wealth. If so where does he begin? Therefore the main method is to just yell to Hashem at all times and this is the start of all beginnings. Then Hashem will help him to merit all the rectifications at once.
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 23 based on LH Hilchos Urlah, Halacha 4, Section 18, 19)

Complete Tikkun Habris is Dependent on Emunas Chachamim 
The primary element of complete Tikkun Habris is through faith in the Sages. 
(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 33 based on LH 
Hilchos Pirya Vrivya, Halacha 1, Section 10)

Be Cautious About Kashrus of Meat 
All sorts of Triefos (non properly slaughtered animal) stem from the concept of Pigam Habris, therefore there are seventy types of Trefos that parallel the encompassing bad of the seventy nations, whom are all very steeped in this lust. Through eating Kosher, that is; being fully careful not to eat Nivalos and Treifos (unkoser meat), through this; a person's stupidity is subdued and he merits rectification of the mind, Tikun Habris and to earn an easy livelihood.
(Eitzot Yisharot Achila 6 based on LH Hilchos Trifos, Halacha 1, Section 1, 2)

Avoid Eating Non Jewish Cooked Food and Wine 
When a person is not careful to refrain from eating food cooked by a non Jew and wine touched by a non Jew, through this the 'encompassing bad' attaches itself to him which can lead to severe Pigam Habis, Heaven Forbid. When a person is careful from eating non Jewish cooked food and wine, through this he merits Tikkun Habris and to have the mysteries of the Torah revealed to him.
(Eitzot Yisharot Achila 8 based on LH Hilchos Machali Okum, Halacha 1, Section 3)

Only Drink A Little Alcohol and Under Specific Circumstances 
It is not befitting to drink wine or alcoholic beverages, only a little to expand the mind and even this only on Shabbos, Yom Tov and at celebrations of a Mitzva (Seudas Mitzva). This too can only be done when a person merits to bind himself to the 'true Tzadikim' that already merited to total and complete Kedushas HaBris. Through them any person can draw upon himself the holiness of the Bris which is an element of the holiness of Shabbos, which is the concept of the seventy aspects, which is the concept of the seventy souls of Yackov's family. Then specifically a person can drink a little wine on Shabbos and Yom Tov to make himself happy and expand his mind, in order that he can awaken and increase his experience of the sweetness of the holiness of the Torah, the holiness of the Jewish Nation, the holiness of Shabbos and get drawn upon him through the power of the true Tzadikim.
(Eitzot Yisharot Achila 9 based on LH Hilchos Yayin Nesech, Halacha 4, Section 4-7)

Eating With Holiness is Dependent on Tikun Habris 
The essential ability to eat with holiness is in accordance with a person Tikun habris. As it says a "tzadik eats to the fulfillment of his soul" and it is known that a Tzadik is one who guards the holy Bris.
(Eitzot Yisharot Achila 10 based on LH Hilchos Milah, Halacha 2, Section 9)

All Prayers Add Up 
Even though we are pleading for so many years to return to Eretz Yisroel and we are still far from there, despite this not a single prayer or yell has been lost, even the smallest of the smallest. With each yell and prayer we capture one part and element of Eretz Yisroel. Until all these elements that we captured through prayer group together and then we will return to our land in the near future.
Even an individual that is very flawed and his yelling and prayers do not have the power to capture a piece or element of Eretz Yisroel, despite this his yells accomplish a lot. This is because his yells are considered a protest. Just like it is brought down regarding the laws of 'Possessing Lands', where as long as the former owner issues protests, the possession of the current occupier does not help at all. Therefore even though they have robed us of Eretz Yisroel which is our land and inheritance and we do not have the power to extract it from them due to our flawed actions, despite this each time that we pray and yell that Eretz Yisroel is ours since it is our inheritance, with this we are issuing a protest to the Sitra Acher, that they should know that their occupation and possession is not legitimate at all, since Eretz Yisroel is ours from our forefathers, and at the end of it all we will extract it from their hands with Hashem's help.
(Eitzot Yisharot Eretz Yisroel 5 based on LH Hilchos Chezkas Mitaltilin, Halacha 5, Section 12)

Very Beneficial to Mention Shemos Hatzadikim
Mentioning the names of the righteous is a very, very awesome and wondrous thing and it greatly helps for spiritual service of Hashem. It is also auspicious to merit Eretz Yisroel through this, since it is not possible to reach Eretz Yisroel without the power of the true Tzadikim in the aspect of 'the righteous will conquer the land'.
(Eitzot Yisharot Eretz Yisroel 6 based on LH Hilchos Nitilas Yadaim Halacha 4, Section 6)

Main Overpowering of Yetzer Hara is Pigam Habris
The main overpowering of the Yetzer Hara in every person, is through Pigam Habris.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bris 1 based on LH Hilchos Hecsher Kalim Halacha 4, Section 16, 17)

All Exile and Suffering Due to Pigam Habris
All suffering and exile come from Pigam Habris, May the Merciful One save us.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bris 1)

Rectification by the Tzadikim 
After all the great effort and self sacrifice that was done by the Tzadikim, who literally sacrifice their lives in every generation for the rectification of the Jewish souls. Despite this, the Satan and Yetzer Hara still dance amongst us and assault the Jews, mainly though Pigam Habris. We find that the same thing happened by Moshe Rabbanue himself. After all the efforts he made to rectify the souls of the Jews, at the end of his days, the wicked Billam came and made them stumble in Pigam Habris. Sometimes the Tzadik has to die and pass away for this, since due to the great extending of the Sitra Acher it is not possible to completely finish the rectification while alive, only after his passing.

From this flaw (Pigam Habris) comes all the obstacles, confusion, struggles and controversy that prevent a person from drawing close to Holiness. They prevent him from completely bringing forth his holy energy from potential to actualization. This is because all the obstacles of drawing close to Holiness come from the impurity of Keri, May the Merciful One save us.

This is the meaning of "I will bring them to the land of their enemies", since through Pigam Habris the enemies and haters of holiness from whom all obstacles originate, become strong. The main rectification to break all the obstacles and enemies is through desire and yearning for Holiness, since though this one merits to break all the obstacles. The verse therefore finishes "then they will appease their sins" (Yirtzu, same root a Ratzon / desire), meaning that they will turn all their sins which are the source of their opposition into desire. And through this "I will remember my convent of Yackov", meaning that Hashem will recall the merit of the great Tzadikim that have already passed away. Since the main rectification of this sin is through them as the Tazdikim are greater after death then when alive. Therefore, specifically after their passing they finish the rectification for the sin of Pigam Habris which is the central rectification of the souls of Israel.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bris 1 based on LH Hilchos Hecsher Kalim Halacha 4, Section 16, 17)

Clothing of Excrement as Punishment for Pigam Habris 
The main cause for the punishment where the convicted is sentenced to be clothed in clothing of excrement, Heaven forbid, is only through Pigam Habris. As it says "and Yehoshua was dressed in clothing of excrement" and the Sages said it was because his sons had married non Jewish women, This is because Pigam Habris can be identified through a persons garments as manifested in the concept of "also at the edges of your garments, blood from clean impoverished souls can be found", which is the concept of Pigam Habris, which is considered as if he spills clean blood, Heaven forbid. Therefore the main rectification of the garments, which is the concept of 'white garments' is dependent on Tikkun Habris.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bris 2 based on LH Hilchos Chukas HaAkum Halacha 1)

Zivug DiKidusha Allows the World to Exist
It is very necessary to sanctify oneself at the time of relationships since the entire world is dependent on this. The entire world was created only for the honor of Hashem and the main revelation of Hashem's honor is through procreation, when humans are born and multiply, since it with them that this honor is dependent. Therefore when a person sanctifies himself and has intentions to birth a child that will raise the honor of Hashem, then a spirit of holiness is drawn upon the child and he merits that his children will be righteous and Hashem's honor will be increased by them, thereby alowing the entire world to continue to exist be because of this. Heaven forbid, the opposite is also true and then the children that are born are not appropriate and Hashem's honor is not increased by them. It comes out this was all caused because he did not sanctify himself. It therefore considered as if he destroyed the entire world, since the main existence of the world is through the above mentioned honor and this honor is dependent on procreation.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bris 3 based on LH Hilchos Kibud Av Vam Halacha 2 Section 1)


Money Gained Illegally Can Cause Pigam Habris 
When a person touches the money of his friend illegally, this is an aspect of a 'flawed ruling' an aspect of 'producing wealth and not with legitimacy' through this one comes to Pigam Habris.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bris 4 based on LH Hilchos Dayanim Halacha 5 Section 3)

Thievery of the Baal Davar 
The main lust for impurity is a result of the 'evil one's' thievery since he burglarizes and tunnels in the thoughts of a person with many plots, trickery and thievery until he brings him to an impure thought, Heaven forbid.
This is why the negative commandment of 'Lo Tinuf' is written near 'Lo Tignov', since the main impurity stems from the thievery of the 'evil one'. This is an aspect of 'If you see a thief you complied with him and with perverts is your share'. The verse is rebuking; 'If you see a thief' which is the Evil Inclination, and you 'complied with him', through this 'with the perverts is your share'. In truth, it was fitting to be very cautious from this thief, since a person needs to greatly guard his thoughts so not to fall in the trap of this thief. But you - not only did you not guard yourself from him, you even 'complied with him', Heaven forbid and therefore 'with the perverts is your share'.

Therefore a person needs to be cautious and greatly guard himself not to pursue the bad thoughts that the evil inclination places in his mind through his thievery and trickery. Instead he should try with all his power to expel and eliminate this thief from his midst. In truth a person has free choice to expel him since thoughts are in the hand of a person to direct them as he wills. This is the main situation of 'free will'. Fortunate is one who guards his thoughts, 'holy' he will be called.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bris 5 based on LH Hilchos Geneiva Halacha 4 Section 9)

Children Born According to Halacha Aspect of Tikkun Habris
All the children that merit to be born in holiness according to the laws of our holy Torah, all of them are an aspect of 'Tikkun Habris'. Therefore the inheritance is passed over to the children since money and livelihood stems from the aspect of 'Tikkun Habris' and through this that his sons are an aspect of 'Tikkun Habris' they receive his inheritance and efforts. Through this a rectifications is brought for the soul of the deceased.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bunim 1 based on LH Hilchos Nachalos Halacha 3 Section 2)

Clothing the Needy Saves from Pigam Habris
Through the positive commandment of 'clothing the bare', when you see the unclothed and cover them. Through this one merits to be saved from Pigam Habris and the flow of lusting money, which is an aspect of a 'darkened face' and he merit to draw down the 370 'facial lights'.
(Eitzot Yisharot Bigadim 4 based on LH Hilchos Geniva Halacha 2 Section 4)
