The general sub topic
is to explain how the higher light when entering the world, has to
come into lower keilim/vessels. We are not explaining how it
happens, but we have been giving examples.
So it turns out that
thoughts come via words, but having a child comes through the
physical – a seminal drop...!
we looked at Torah.
We said it does not belong above. The angels were requesting they
receive it – and they can understand the 'spiritual' level, but the
essence of Torah has to come to men – to human beings living in the
world and working with the evil inclination...
The essence of Torah
the Rebbe says is found in halacha (Jewish law). Halacha is a
straight forward statement of 'this is what the King wants you to do,
and this is what He wants you to avoid... These do's and don'ts do
not stand on their own. They stand due to the King. This is the
reality of halacha. So the reality of Torah surfaces on the level
where the only way it can exists is due to the King. If it has
supporting sechel is is not essence...
We said the light of
the first day had no luminary... it was a light that superceded
world... what is the light? On the level of physicality there is
conflict and things pushing against each other. This we can grasp
and this is world from a perspective of worldliness. When we say
that is not the reality of the world, and that things have correct
places assigned to them, it seems unreal...
We have a living
experience of this. In your home you have some chairs. You
positioned them where you want them to be. And when they are in
place you see that they are where they belong and are not competing
for space. Who defines the element of 'belonging'. You. The owner
of the home. You see a spiritual phenomenon. This is seeing from
an ohr/light perspective.
Light is given to the
world because there is a Creator.
Torah is fully
recognized in the physical world.
Touch and sight have
physical elements, but it is your sechel/mind that interprets this.
When you see the face
of your teacher, you have a sense of the surrounding (makif) elements
to his sechel/mind. The essence from which his sechel/mind is
derived.
Seeing his face,
gives the sense that there is a level that cannot be communicated.
It is just there as a presence.
A tree on the earth,
is representative the earth's faculty to give life. The tree is not
struggling to survive. It bears testimony to the earth's greatness.
Chochmah/wisdom is
seeing the thing, within the source...
The Rebbe is saying,
wake your sechel/mind, and focus your mind, to see how the highest
thing comes down to the lowest level. And whats the value if it
cannot be verbalized? Because that's where you are living with real
sechel/mind. The absolute truth can be had only when you are
connected to it.
The chochmah is
continually looking at the soul. That's why there is always
something going on... Chochmah is the transition of life... it is
the link to the soul as life comes into the body.
In the secular way,
we were trained to see the world as a bunch of objects. But the
object has no reality in itself. It has relevance only due to the
force of the Creator within it.
It is important to
open our practical vision and see the reality itself, that is by
noting that all is a creation.
How do you get a
depth that cannot be verbalized? Shouldn't anything you gain by
experience be able to be verbalized? This is because this depth
comes to you not via experience. Life is a Godly phenomenon, and
thus you have reality beyond what can be verbalized.
