Only, the gift of the reward of the tzaddikim in the Garden of Eden is the grasp of the spreading of the life force and the light that is drawn from these two attributes, kindness and might, and that is the food of the souls of the tzaddikim who occupied themselves in the Torah for its own sake in this world.
For from the spreading of these two attributes an expanse is stretched over the souls that are in the Garden of Eden, and this expanse is called the secret of the Torah, and in it is the secret of the 22 letters of the Torah that was given from these two attributes, as it is written (Deuteronomy 33:2): "From His right hand, a fire of law for them." And from this expanse dew drips, for the food of the souls, that is, the knowledge of the secret of the 22 letters of the Torah.
For this expanse is the secret of knowledge, and the Torah is the food of the souls in the Garden of Eden, and the mitzvot (a mitzvah is a commanded deed) are garments, as all this is explained [in the Zohar, the portion Vayakhel, folio 209 and folio 210, and in the Tree of Life, gate 44, chapter 3].
Even the world to come and the upper Garden of Eden, the dwelling of the souls of the great tzaddikim, a tzaddik (a righteous person), would not have been created in that manner.
For this is the whole occupation of the souls in the Garden of Eden, as is stated in the Gemara and in the Zohar, only that there they delight in their grasp and in their inclusion in the light of Hashem.
And from the will of the heart a garment comes to be for the neshamah in the world of Beriah, which is the upper Garden of Eden, as further on, and as it is written in the Zohar, the portion Vayakhel.
But the aspect of the ruach of the tzaddikim, and likewise all the rest of the souls of Israel, who served Hashem with the fear and the love that are hidden in the heart of the whole of Israel, do not rise there, except on the Sabbath and the new moon alone, by way of the pillar that goes from the lower Garden of Eden to the upper Garden of Eden, which is the world of Beriah, called the upper Garden of Eden, to take delight in Hashem and to enjoy the radiance of the Shekhinah (the divine presence).
And this is the counsel that is counseled in the holy Zohar (Zohar III 168a), that the master of the academy in the Garden of Eden said: A wood in which light does not rise, they beat it, and so on.
This is what is written (Psalms 40:9): "And Your Torah is within my inward parts." As it is written in Etz Chaim, Gate 44, Chapter 3, the garments of the souls in the Garden of Eden are the mitzvot, and the Torah is the food for the souls that engaged in this world in the Torah for its own sake, as it is written in the Zohar, Vayakhel, folio 210.
