The Rebbe is explaining a subtle point.

We have finished saying that in the essential pleasure there are 2 levels – sensed and unsensed.

Chochmah is not coming into being – it has an essential element. The pleasure/ענוג is present in the essence. And what is the relationship between oneg/pleasure and chochmah/wisdom? Chochmah relates to that which has a reality to it. And reality is expressed in the presence of oneg/pleasure/ענוג.


Even in levels that are essential, wherever they are they are the element of essence, nevertheless there are differences from one level to another.

Like for example the element of atik, [which is a reference to the level we call ketter (crown)], representing the personification/replication of essence. And due to this, even as it is in the state of the crown of atzilus it is remote from atzilus. This is like to opposite states.

This is a principle we often revisist. On the one hand the human being is in a body in the world. And on the other hand he is not in the world, his mind and essnence is above it. He is there to influence it not to be part of it.
