The Rebbe explains their concept in the service of Hashem: Snake - "its venom is hot," meaning that the person begins to warm up and become enthusiastic about worldly matters, and this enthusiasm reduces his enthusiasm in matters of kedushah. Fiery Serpent - the enthusiasm in worldly matters becomes so strong in him that it not only diminishes the enthusiasm in kedushah but burns it completely. Scorpion - "its venom is cold," and this matter is worse than the snake and fiery serpent. Because when he has enthusiasm and warmth, even though it is in worldly matters, it still indicates life - and therefore this can be exchanged for vitality and enthusiasm of kedushah. But when he is in coldness, which is a sign of the opposite of vitality, this is much worse. | The Rebbe explains their concept in the service of Hashem: Snake - "its venom is hot," meaning that the person begins to warm up and become enthusiastic about worldly matters, and this enthusiasm reduces his enthusiasm in matters of kedushah.
