Nature conceals, so if you see the world on an entirely natural phenomenon, then you land up seeing the human being as a machine – and this is where you reject it.
Understanding of a human is based on ratzon and tynug. Something superimposed on you is not called understanding.
Sechel that tries to understand that wich is beyond sechel is not even sechel. Sechel draws from life/oneg – that's what it is. There is a great misunderstanding of the term “objective knowledge” - it is lifeless. Objective knowledge is its own kind of subjectivity.
3rd line from the end of 28.
We are looking at how torah is a memutzah/intermediary connecting ein sof with neshamas yisroel and ohr ein sof with the world.
We see that there is soul pleasure in every koach and experience.
If one is suffering/depressed he will not experience pleasure from anything.
When the nefesh is in a state of fundamental/plain pleasure, just from living – then he will have pleasure in every and any activity.
There is even oneg in the suffering – if not for it he wouldn't feel the pain.
The rebbe is showing us is that the oneg is the underlying phenomenon of every activity and makes it possible. And this oneg is really of the nefesh, not contained in the koach itself. The rebbe goes further beyond the clarity to bring the proof that one in a state of tzaar will not feel the oneg of anything. To feel the oneg he has to have the plain pleasure of being alive.
This is the same oneg in each of the kochot, yet each koach feels it separately. The oneg itself is completely removed from the kochot. The oneg is restrained and focused to relate to a particular koach.
Sechel recognizes this, but cannot grasp it. We have no grasp of the oneg of the nefesh. Oneg is the true experience of life.
The oneg is limited to a specific action in the koach of movement of the hand but it is connected to the plain oneg – it is the whole koach that is focused down to a specific task.
Aaron ha Kohein lit the lights in the Temple – what's his praise that he did it like he was told – the praise is that he knew the implication of what he was doing and how it was raising up the souls and yet he followed through as instructed without getting distracted. The rebbe would pour out thousands of cups of blessing and never spill a drop.
