Tynug and chochmah essentially represent one and the same principle.

The real perception of chochmah is that truth exists. This is the connection between chochmah and oneg – this is where they are the same thing.

Chochmah influences to that the view is according to the tynug of the nefesh.

Tynug ha nefesh is not, “that which I like”. If chochmah is compelled by tynug, where is the sechel? Is it just pushed by personsal will? There is no greater truth than the nefesh. The nefesh has pleasure in that which it has pleasure. The chochmah will never direct one to see things contrary to nefesh.

A human being is proactive. He knows the world before it exists. Sechel knows the inyan from the perspective of “this is how it should be – the truth demands that it be this way.” Chochmah is in touch with the human nefesh – which is the supreme presence in the world.
