We say 'nothing compares to You'. This is in contrast to 'cause and effect'.

In the cause and effect process, things can be traced back to their source – to their cause.

Even though 'mind' is in a different world from that of 'action', yet the action can be traced back to sechel/mind.

In sight, you are convinced the object is there. It provides an objective reality. Touch is subjective. Sight is like the world of sechel/mind.


And yet the sight is what enables touch! If you don't see your food you don't appreciate it. Sight substantiates touch and taste.


Physicality comes about in a manner of 'no compare' – it is 'something from nothing'. It gives no outward testimony as to its origin.

The physical world may even seem to assert that it is the basis, without an origin. This is a worldly view. It is due to the lack of the sense that there is a reality that is more basic than both the physicality and the spirituality of the world. Human beings become subservient to the world. The real intent is the that the human being is the benefactor of the word, not the beneficiary.

Chochmah has a knowledge of reality that is superior to that gained by touching the world.

It tells you that existence is not an accident.

Chochmah says, 'I know reality before you showed me the physical. It is based on the First Being. He preceded the physical.'

So in this world we first become aware of the real 'no compare' because we see the physical and we know there is a reality to it. The physicality wakes up our real sechel/mind.
