“Does it Matter I Don't Understand...?” p: 48

AyinBase with R' Paltiel p: 48 7/11/11 Monday 9 Tammuz 5771



Page 48 – about a third into the page (line starts: le-ra...)

Torah can distinguish between the various elements in the world, because above it is rooted in a level where pnimi/inner and chitzoni/external are properly identified. Torah does not deduce it from the world, but brings this knowledge from its source. Yet it itself is exclusively good. It is ohr pnimi and does not 'get dressed up' in the world.



What is the meaning of 'Torah is rooted in a level where pnimi/inner and chitzoni/external are properly identified...?' Above these things are clear and that's where torah bases its orientation...

Adam the first man, incorporated all types of souls – so too with Noah, but by Yitzchak and Yaakov there was clear distinction between holy and the opposite. Things come from above where all is one and as they develop distinctions are seen... Torah originates on a level where chitzoni/external and pnimi/inner are identified and it can thus clarify for us below...

This can only be perceived by the more sensitive elements of one's sechel/mind.

We tend to reduce things to what can be felt by the hand. But if we exert ourselves we can perceive properly – seeing our sechel/mind, not the hands...
