The tynug/pleasure is the G-dliness that is in every level. It is the primary truth of it. This oneg element in every level has commonality with that of every other level. The level is different, the pleasure of the head is different to that of the foot. The higher the activity, the more refined the oneg that gives it chayut/life. Nevertheless, there is a central element that is common to all.
There is pleasure in fulfilling the capability of every limb. The hand has certain abilities and there is oneg in using it. The point is that the oneg is of a superior quality to the koach. Oneg does not need justification. The oneg in everything is the G-dly presence in everything. The world view that the universe evolved is devoid of oneg. It is denuded of primary reality. The principle is that all is based on the survival instinct. Oneg is higher than the koach itself.
The tynug is first drawn down into a general level, before coming down into the specific level. In order to relate to the specifics you need to first have a general sense of the field. Olam of atzilus and kesser are completely different to the level above them. Chochmah has both these elements – it is gilui and helem (concealed) – it sees the matter that is concealed, as it is. Once this oneg is defined, then it can be disseminated at many different levels, but first comes the level of recognition of revelation.
Oneg always has to have a connection to its source through chochmah. This cognizance maintains the continuity. This enable it to to retain this quality. To have pleasure from a small thing there has to be a recognition that it is connected above – it relate to the infinite on a finite level.
Torah is from chochmah of atzilus – it relates to our world, but is not from this world. In this regard it is an intermediary, bringing G-dliness into our world.
This chochmah is a keili for gilui atzmi-im.
Gilui atzmi-im are revelations in their raw state – revelations that have not been prepared for presentation.
Chochmah is capable of recognition that there is such a thing as light that knows no darkness.
