Musar על עבודה זרה 6:7
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
For if the reward and punishment were the arrangement, then, Heaven Forbid, it will look as if there is a change from desire to desire. Because now he agrees one way and then agrees another way. The matter of Desire is a secret that reveals the emanation that includes all the changes according to awakenings of awakening. This is how it continues from the essence and in nature. The idea is if we sanctify ourselves below, we sanctify Him above in the same nature of the matter that arises. And if he defiles himself, he defiles him from above in the same nature of the matter that has arisen. And if he awakens himself and throws of his ways of exile and binds himself in holiness, he is found in nature sanctified. And the Will of heaven is not changed, for on the contrary, the will is revealed and everything is expected and the authority is given to do so.
