Joy is a foundation in the work of God - "worship the Lord with joy."
The commandment of circumcision is especially related to joy, as the Gemara says, that this commandment "received them with joy," and therefore "still do it with joy," from a feast.
Why, then, does such a great and important mitzvah involve pain and sorrow for circumcision - "Tsara Dinoka"?
Indeed, it is a natural phenomenon of the body, that when one cuts into it the cause of pain, but the question is, why in the first place did the Creator of man create man in such a way that circumcision would involve pain?
After all, the whole world was created according to the Torah, and hence the Torah also requires that circumcision be accompanied by pain and sorrow.
Holiness in the body
Moreover, according to the arbitrators, sorrow is part of the commandment of circumcision, and this is the reason why circumcision should not be put to sleep, so that he may indeed feel the pain.
Why, then, should this particular mitzvah be associated with pain?
This is indeed related to the essence of the matter of the commandment of circumcision.
The uniqueness of this mitzvah is that it instills the divine holiness even within the physical flesh of the body.
The purpose of all creation is to prepare the Creator of the world in this lower world, and the commandment of circumcision does so by the sacred neighbor in the flesh of the physical body.
The meat fences
Therefore the material body, in which the word is made, must have the fences of a material body.
The same flesh, which has no idea of the sublime virtue of the commandment of circumcision, until instead of feeling wonderful joy he feels sorrow and pain - in which the divine holiness should dwell.
If the circumcision had been done in such a way that man did not feel pain and sorrow, it would have meant that the connection with the Creator of the world had not reached the lower layer of the physical body.
Therefore the Creator of the world created man in such a way that the covenant involves sorrow and pain, so that the divine covenant connects with the flesh of the physical body as it is, with all its material boundaries, until it too is bound with the Creator of the world.
Do not dodge
From this we must also learn a lesson in the mission imposed on each of us: Halacha states that "a person has no authority over his body at all ... to his sorrow in any sorrow."
Therefore the person should not look for an activity that might cause him sorrow and pain.
And yet, when it comes to the mission of the Creator of the world, to make the Goddess in this world, man is not allowed to avoid it, even if it causes him sorrow.
He who has been given a mission, to spread the light of holiness, should not dodge it on the grounds that it is difficult for him and causes him sorrow.
Keep in mind that this mission is so important that you should also suffer and regret in order to fulfill it.
And when he does so, the Jew will surely succeed in fulfilling the mission properly, without sorrow and anguish, but out of joy and kindness, and will make the Creator of the world an 'apartment in underwear'.
