The topic: how it is that ohr ein sof cannot be in hishtalshalus (which has to do with levels).
Everything in einsof is from the same level.
When the Rebbe RASHAB took on leadership, he had an older brother, who also was of great stature.
After the Rebbe became Rebbe, a chasid asked his brother if he was fit to be rebbe, he replied that there are no levels in the matter of rebbe. There is either a rebbe or a faker. “One thing I can tell you about my brother is that he is no faker.”
Our mashal for infinity is a river. If it came to your field it would flood it. But by streams it can be put to various uses. The kav starts before the tzimzum.
With a kav, you get a sense of how it is coming into being. This gives it definition. Even if it has an einsof quality it is still, “coming into being”.
Avraham avinu was looking around for the owner/manager of the “palace” and then He appeared to him, “i am the owner of the palace”. This would have been overwhelming, but since he had been looking he had a point of reference.
Kav shows all the capabilities on a functional level rather than at an ein sof level.
This is not to say it is limited in capability rather that it is showing it has capability.
The scarcity in the word is in dissemination. In chassidus it says the earth is rooted in sovev that is beyond time and space. It is a fact not a concept. The earth it self possesses at any moment every time and every season.
In the world things come through a process, but that is not to say that there won't be enough. Our nation was tested with the mann. You have it each day, but you cannot accumulate it. The purpose it to recognize the ein sof in the world we live in.
We distinguish between spirituality and G-dliness. Spirituality is a worldly concept, and G-dliness is beyond world.
