We said there is a
unique attribute of Torah. It contains the Luminary. He, Himself is
in the Torah. There is a level of Torah that is revealed
chochmah/wisdom, and then there is essential chochmah – His
awareness of who He is!
Think of a human
being. He is 'all capable'. His soul does not exist within a
defined or definable area. It exists within reality itself. So
there are no functional limits. There is the essence of the soul and
then there is the level of the human being performing an action.
Although the essence
is way beyond the activity, yet it knows what it is able to do. And
what can he do? Anything and everything.
This is the person
that Torah and Chassidus is addressing. This is why I always remind
us, 'if we try to grasp it with our hands, then we are not presenting
to it our real selves and we fail to understand it'.
In essence there is
everything. And this everything is recognizable. And this is the
sichli/mind element. Without this element it is nothing.
This is the essence
of sechel. Where does such an essence come from? That we see
everything? This is a Godly gift.
And one who has
fallen into darkness, a darkness without a trace of light, the Torah
has the power to bring him back to good, just like tshuvah, which
touches the deepest core of the soul.
A 'good' that is
essential, and from which will, mind, and emotions are drawn...
And this is due to
the root of Torah. It is rooted in His consciousness – Torah is
His 'plaything'/preocupation. It is essential and not based on
reason... This is essential delight with essential wisdom.
The principal of
Torah is not to 'make life livable in a worldly domain', but rather
to 'make God present in this domain'.
