Page 19 – seventh line from the top of the page. Line starts, “hen betokfun”
It is a tree of life... All torah's pathways are peace”. Through the torah comes the essence of the ein sof that becomes a presence here below, and this brings peace, based not just on lack of conflict, but on a real union. A union not based on compromise, but a real union.
To understand this it is explained that a river comes our from Eden to water the garden. This river feeds all growth in the garden, including the tree of life, which is one of the trees of the garden. The tree of life is torah. So the river brings eden into this tree. “He implanted within us eternal life”. It can also be said that all the trees of the garden are mitzvot and the tree of life is torah.
Why everlasting life from the tree of life, but not from a mitzvah tree? This is because the effect of a mitzvah can be blemished, by an aveira, but not the effect of torah.
... וחיי עולם
