The Two-Pronged Struggle
On you joyous days, on your festivals, and on your new-moon
celebrations, you must blow on the trumpets over your
ascent-offerings and your peace-offerings, and it will be a
remembrance before G-d. I am G-d, your G-d.
Numbers 10:10
The two types of sacrifices mentioned here represent the two components of our struggle against the negativity of materialism.
First is the ascent-offering, whose meat and fat is totally consumed on the Altar. Next is the peace-offering part of whose meat is eaten by those who offer it up. This teaches us that we must first submit ourselves to G-d (just as the ascent-offering is totally consumed), but after we have done so, we should enhance our relationship with Him by understanding as much about Him and His role in our lives as we can (just as we eat some of the peace-offering), thereby bolstering our enthusiasm for the Torah and its commandments.
On a daily basis, our “ascent-offering” is our morning prayers, in which we surrender our sense of self and cling devotedly to G-d. Our “peace-offering” is the pursuit of our affairs throughout the day, intending that all we do be for the sake of heaven and in order to enhance our Divine consciousness.
