We are saying that
the keilim/vessels have a superiority over the lights! The vessels
are like a spark from the coal itself.
It becomes evident
that you are looking for 'the real thing'. For the First Being. For
Him, that has no beginning. And the extent to which that is
recognized, that is what provides quality. And when that
representation is diminished then that entity loses its status. To
do good in the world is very very valuable, but the ingredient of
'for the sake of heaven' supersedes all the deeds.
This is what gives an
action of 'the truth itself'.
This is what the Baal
Shem says, 'the simple man who says psalms, and much of the time he
doesn't even know the meaning of the words he's saying has
superiority over the greatest academic'.
Our work is to reveal
Godliness – the essence of Godliness – in the world.
This provides the
impetus for the lights to come down into the keilim/vessels.
The vessels have the
reality of The First Being. The vessel itself, the deed itself, has
this reality. For example the simple action of eating matzah on
Pesach might not reveal much light/ohr, but it is steeped in the
reality of The First Being.
From a truth
perspective you see that the self nullification of the vessels
reaches higher than that of the ohrot!
The human being in
essence is higher than the world. For him to eat and drink is a kind
of descent...! The man is a soul representation and a soul doesn't
need to eat and drink?!
But the man has been
sent to be in the world. And being in the world is not falling into
it and drink water like a cat! The man is brought into the world,
but to retain his super-worldly quality. Man comes to purify the
world.
