Rabbi Shulman explains the Ramchal’s view that יסורים are not merely “payment” demanded by strict דין, but a rehabilitative process that repairs the רוחני damage created by עבירות. He develops how actions concretely reshape a person’s גוף and נפש—good deeds build זוהר and שלמות, while sins embed עכירות and חיסרון that block דבקות. Rabbi Shulman then clarifies why some cleansing can occur through suffering in this world while deeper stains require “spiritual” יסורים (גהנום), and concludes with a foundational principle: the exact level of one’s עולם הבא is self-chosen, leaving no room for complaint against others.
