Line starts memale.
In real terms we can understand “world”, not elokus. All that happens in “world” occurs in a logical/graduated manner.
We see sechel the same way – we have a sense of development. This is the way science works and this is the way the world works. It begins from a yesh – a physical object and works from/with that.
We were given a sechel that enables us to see things above that – at an essential level. This is not a guf thing – this is a mind/soul faculty.
The body is just a keili – a tool in the hand of the craftsman. The neshama is memale the guf – in every nook and crevice. The function of neshama in the body is way beyond the sum of its parts.
Every bodily function has a miraculous element to it. The skill is beyond craftsmanship it is a miraculous ability in the body. We train/practice to get used to the way the neshamah is finding new expression through our kochot – this allows for continuity. This is halicha – walking – till we are in a new place by incremental stages. To move one needs to detach in stages, stepping out.
When the eagle sees the mouse, that is also beyond just bodily function – it relates to the mouse, how much more so the human activity.
We understand that there is the element of sovev – that which encompasses equally all that is in the world. The reason we comprehend it is since it is a necessity for the world, just like it needs an ohr pnimi. The hand itself is composed of many components and the koach hatnuah co-ordinates them and gives them movement.
So too the world. The world needs to have a context – an overall presence. A house in the middle of the desert is not a home. A home needs to be in a settled place – a house is only that which demarcates one family from another, but if it is in a desert then the home doesn't facilitate the life experience.
