In chochmah ohr shines closely – kiruv makom. It is near, but not in the ohr ein sof. Outside, but very close. Chochmah receives from ohr ein sof, kesser is in it.
Chochmah observes it not through a limited view, but at close range. Begilui ohr rav – with great revelation of light. Ohr is only an emenation, but when it is gilui ohr rav, you sense the effect of the source of the light.
What is the source of ohr? Why don't objects give off light? Ohr is the revelation of something that is an etzem. A physical thing, is only itself by virtue of its structure. Thus its whole presence is contained within itself – it is limited in time and space.

Ohr hanefesh makes the body live. It doesn't do it actively. The life is a reflection not of its activity, but of its presence.
To understand an etzem we have to rise up to the inyan of elokus. Anything that is limited to time and space is not an etzem. Pshitus/simplicity is really possible only for the Creator. Created things are “put together”.
Chochmah has the bitul, to enable it to relate to essence. It recognizes the essence and receives it's light.
