“Part of You, Greater Than You” p:7/6

AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel, Shvat 5775 



Page 7 of pamphlet, Page 6 in the book (line begins: 'velehatfis...') For text see below.

The faculties have an affinity to the vessels that contain them.

This is why the organs can house the faculties.

The soul itself is limitless. It has no definitive presence. Yet the faculties are defined and limited... they have specific abilites... there is a faculty of wisdom and one of kindness...

You have the ability to move the hand. And you have the ability to write. Writing is the combination of two faculties. In our experience we don't make the distinctions – the faculties seem to easily overlap...


Essence has unlimited light. A ha-arah/reflection of the essence has a functional element... while retaining an essential quality.


The faculties are not reflections of the essence of the soul... rather the soul is limitless, and includes within itself limited faculties.

The faculties are defined by their function from their inception.
