Aeter with R' Paltiel 8/26/09 Wednesday 6 Elul 5769 Page: Pay
Page Pay – top line.
We have been looking at the the topic of the corner to get an understanding of the relationship between the king and the people.
Just to add to this: the wall coming to represent its true presence when it meets up with another wall. Just running by itself does not represent anything.
When the people has a full expression then they are ready to relate to the king. Like we do torah and mitzvahs not because “I want to be a good person'” but because we are in G-d's world. After you get fulfillment of your own self you are able to take part in a bigger realm.
When you reach the level of being able to think for yourself – that is when you can be commanded. You have wholeness of mind to want to participate. Before this you are limited to your own experiences.
Top of page hay – yesh lomar - “it could be said” - sechl is not an entity unto itself, it is trying to represent something higher than itself. To do this it has to beat around the bush, show it from different angles – this yesh lomar gives this kind of connotation – we are presenting something in sechel that is higher than sechel – this is not the real thing – this is a presentation of something beyond presentation.
The phrase says, “think with me...”
the king unto himself is removed and elevated in comparison to the people. There is no comparison. His shoulder is above the heads of others – his middot are at the level of the sechel of others.
He is above the people and there is no way to correlate them. But by means of melucha, that he is exalted and elevated above the people, he stands above them and a relationship is formed - “I will be your reality”. This is a connection of the essence of the king with the people.
He conceives of a benefit to the people. He relates to them, by his greatness – he shows them his superiority – this creates a connection and the people experience his essence. This connection is very subtle – the king stays where he is – he is not allowed to understate who he is. If he did that he wouldn't be giving the people the benefit of who he is.
