“It Remains the Same...” p:72(18)

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel, 22 Tevet 5775



Page 72(18)

At about midway into the page – (line begins: 'she-hare hu...') For text see below.

We are looking at the illustration of the sunlight. The light shining through a colored glass will appear colored – but that is just a functional effect.

You see the world, but these are like the garments of the king. And the king himself is within his garments.

The guest relates primarily to the presence of the host. The cutlery and the meal and the napkins are just the external representation of his largesse.

There are 2 primary faculties of the mind – chochmah/wisdom and binah/understanding.


And these two elements are inseparable.

Light is so significant because we realize it is a reality.


So if the sunlight takes on the color of the glass, it still remains sunlight. Its function and essence remains the same.

There is such variety and enormity in the world since this is from the King. And he stays present and give credence to it and says, 'look, I am here with you'.

You are looking at the King Himself, via his ohr/light.

We understand, 'there is none, but the King'.
