We are talking about keilim/vessels. On they one hand they are a perfect fit with the light, yet they are in a different category. Vessels are a new creation, made to be separate and distant from the light.

Vessels are present in a different domain.

So on the one hand they are separate on the other we say the vessels of atzilus also qualify as Godliness – not described as new separate creations...

We talked about ha-arah, which is a reflection. It is a limited element of the thing on a functional level.

And in atzilus there is a situation of the infinite light in the form of vessels...


Vessels are like a spark that separates from a flame... and the spark is of the flame, yet it separates from the flame and does not illuminate like the torch from which it came.

The spark reveals its own presence. It does not illuminate its surroundings...

It separates from its source and does not have a lasting presence.
