We have been saying that oneg and chochmah (pleasure and wisdom) are one and the same. Oneg has no levasha, chochmah is enclothed in some form.
This is to say that chochmah is also an inyan atzmi. Due to our exposure to chochmah chitzoni (external knowledge) it is hard for us to perceive the inner chochmah. This physical table is here and undeniable – this undeniability is what the whole world has accepted as truth. This is a submergence in nothingness and we have been freed from this at the time of the Exodus from Egypt. We recognize truth, by virtue of the nefesh.
The knowledge of G-d in the neshamah is part and parcel of what the neshamah is. This is why there is oneg. Oneg is possible only in the presence of infinity. Oneg means an unrestrained expression. This is also expressed in the form of chochmah.
Essential chochmah is based on what is essential to the nefesh.
