The
difference between a cup on the table with water and a cup submerged
in a lake, is that on the table the cup defines the water in its own
function. It reveals an aspect of the water, that is distinct from
the free-flowing water of the lake...
When
submerged in the lake, the cup does not provide any definition. It
is just a participant in the bigger body of water...
The
cup of water on the table, although the water is defined by the cup,
yet it retains some element of the bigger body of water. The cup
gives it a form. The water remains formless.
There
are 'letters' within the infinite light, and they are filled with
this light. How is this possible if the letters are limited? The
answer is that there is no element of 'thinginess' (metziut) –
there's a perfect union between the letters and the light.
We
are saying that the koach ha-gvul (the faculty of definition) is
infinite.
Think
of a pencil in the hand of a child. He is told by the teacher to
make a line. The artist works with a pencil and the picture emerges
suddenly...
For
the artist to make the line, he has to perceive the picture.
