“Revelations of Light” p:174


AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel Thursday 22 Kislev 5772 

Page 174/קעד
6 lines from the end of the top paragraph of the page – (line starts, 'al yeday...') For text, see picture below.

The Rebbe is explaining the two ways light is revealed. He is comparing the parsah and the tzimzum.

To understand this one needs to look at the light as it was prior to each of these.


Before the tzimzum you have 'ohr ein sof' the original primal light, that has no relationship to worlds...

World vs G-dliness; worldliness comes into being. It represents multiplicity and interaction. One thing base on another – cause and effect. There is no essence in world. Everything in the world is based on multiplicity. The sky is reminiscent of a singularity... in a certain sense the sky does not lend itself to worldly comprehension.

So the primal light has no relation to this.

By contrast the light before the parsah is already in atzilus – a level called – 'a G-dly world' with vessels and light and 10 sphirot. But they are totally imbued with G-dliness. It is light that does not need to be withdrawn and then reintroduced. It already has a relationship to world... it jus goes through the parsah/curtain to the worlds below it...
