[Avodah] Mazal vs. Malach

[Moshe Yehuda Gluck]

R' MB:
*A one word change like that is more likely an issue of divergent girsa'os
*and
*a bad MM. But even if it is a faulty MM, I would still take RCV's say so
*that
*this 2nd girsah exists, somewhere. (Side question: Are the mar'eh meqomos
*RCV's or his son RYV's?)

The (I think) original, Vilna 1858, edition doesn't have a Mareh Makom for
this statement. I got the Mareh Makom from the Yerushalaim 5753 edition.


*In any case, mazal is predestination (not luck), the stars' paths are as
*clockwork. Mal'akhim are the vehicles of nature. RCV quotes this very
*maamar
*in Nefesh haChaim to make that point.

Does anyone know where in Nefesh HaChaim?
