וכמוכ למעלה ענין הכתר הוא ענין ביטול הרצון

"So too above kesser is representative of nullification..."


We are explaining the tzinor/conduit and that Torah is called derech/pathway.

The effect would be that in the initial flow, there is something that elicits it. The ratzon/will element itself is infinite...


So for there to be any 'download' there has to be the 'vessel' that solicits it in the first place.

There is a similarity between how darkness calls for light, and Torah solicits G-dly light. The mitzvoth themselves do not really conform to worldly contours and thus they draw down light into them...

G-d made the world and gave it to man, but G-d did not relinquish His ownership. Man can own things on a relative level, but not to the exclusion of G-d.

The mitzvoth are what solicit G-dly light into the world and allows it to settle there...

All solicitation of light is from a position of strength not of weakness. We have a huge dark world of beauty and it wants to be recognized, so it solicits light for the sake of this recognition.

Kesser is the crown. It surrounds and provides for further development under its umbrella...

So too above (even though we have no comprehension of Essence), we allude to the result, that initially there was His infinite will, that then was modified to be a will for the world...

Essential ratzon did not come into being. It is essential. He is a true being. He wants to be what He is. Why? Because that is the truth. Anything that is real, and a human being who is real, 'wants to be what he is'. A real human being wants to be a human being.
