Shabbos - The seventh day of the week contains both positive and negative mitzvos - the positive mitzvah to rest and the negative mitzvah not to do work.

Line 21:

Line 22:

The weekday avodah is in the aspect of mayim nukvin and the aspect of rectifying and refining the name BaN, while the tikkun of Shabbos is the refinement of MaH which comes after the tikkun of BaN in the aspect of mayim duchrin.

== Three Levels of Shabbos Observance ==

The mitzvah of keeping Shabbos encompasses the three garments of the nefesh:

# Action - Not performing weekday melachos

# Speech - Not speaking about weekday melachos, "one should not say 'I will do such and such tomorrow'"

# Thought - Not thinking about weekday melachos, "it is commanded not to think about one's business matters at all, rather it should be in one's eyes as if all work is already completed"

A chossid who goes beyond the letter of the law is also careful about thinking about melacha on Shabbos - since in actuality Hashem rested even from thought, and due to cleaving to the ways and middos of Hashem, he also rests from his thoughts.
