“Light Travel” p:72(15)

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel 13 Kislev 5775 



Page 72(15)

Near top of the page – about 7th line – (line begins: 'be-etzem...') For text see below.

We have been talking about light. How does that relate to our simple reality...? When we received Torah it was due to our statement, “we will do and understand”. We preceded deed to understanding. Torah is not 'that you may live a decent life in the world'. Torah is saying, 'there is no world. There is just the king – serve Him'.

Our task as a people is to bring essence into the world. This is what Mashiach is.

Shimon and Levi wanted to destroy all of Shchem due to what they had done to Dinah. They wanted to uproot a desecration of God's name, so that it would not become fabric of the world.



Chassidus reveals the essence so that it can be absorbed in our midot and sechel.


This type of understanding is not what the world calls 'understand'. Real understanding is a Godly revelation from the soul at the sechel/mind level.

This is the significance of opening one's mind to sensing these fine concepts. And we don't come to it unless we are told about them... and then we come to the sense that, 'yes, there is essence beyond understanding, and that is the reality'.

Regarding essence, 'knowledge' is not applicable, since essence has no definitions, or borders...
