We are talking about a level of unity that is not dependent on the features of the components.
It is able to combine opposites, while they are in full force. This is affected by an ohr elyon – a cognizance of something superior to them, that is higher than their source. Yesterday we spoke of the king that is on a different level from the ministers. Even the man of “infinite” wealth does not compare to the king. The wealthy man is based on resources. The king is not based on resources.
Each ministry has a function and the king is above function. When they recognize something above function, they are in another realm. The ministers rise up to a different perspective completely. This is a level that is higher than their source.
Another way to understand this: it is like two judges looking at a case. One convicts and one aquits. They come to their conclusions based on their daas and hakarah, beyond the arguments of logic / sechel.
One recognizes that the matter is thus, and the other sees it completely differently. Each judge went through the process of logic and proof and reached a perspective beyond sechel. Neither can be swayed, it would be like trying to convince a living human being that 2x2=5.
A rav has to give a ruling base on what he thinks. He has to understand the issue on a personal basis after he has gone through all the resources.
