Questions and
comments:
For
the human being, convenience is not just a facilitator. It is a
primary human principle. Not jus to relieve a burden. He is a being
in the world, and not as a stranger – there world stand at your
beck-and-call. The world is meant for you and you work out how to
use it.
It
is part of the initial mandate given to the human being. Who gave
him this mandate? It is given from God. He has been given a
mission.
He
is mandated to use every nuance of the world and demonstrate how each
thing has human significance. He is not grabbing resources from
'no-man's-land'. It belongs to God and He's saying to the man, 'take
it and use it as per you mission'.
The
world is a creation, not a jungle.
This
is the meaning of light/ohr. The connection to the Source. I have a
table not for my personal convenience, but because I have a Godly
mandate to be a human being...!
The
vessels/keilim are exclusively on the functional level.
The
gemara says the wise man who has a stain on his garment, is insulting
God's honor.
The
gemara says, if you see a fruit and don't partake of it, you will
have to answer for it. He is offering you resources and you are
obligated to use the resources you are given.
When
we live up to His expectations we corroborate His plan, His vision.
Lights
are in a different category from vessels. They represent the reality
of this world.
