Zohar says that in torah there is the element of garment, an element that is called a body and on all the way to the “soul of the soul”.
The garments are the tales in the torah.
The body are the rules and commands of the torah, in which are contained the element of chochmah, which is akin to oneg.
“Do not steal”, is a rule and at the level of “body”, that conceals the truth/essence level in it.
All commands and rules in the torah are actually revelations coming out of chochmah.
The neshamah is the life/pleasure that is concealed in the chochmah. “There is the element of 'I understand' and then there is the level of 'why I understand' – this is the truth element. To relate to an essential element is due to the tynug that is dressed in the chochmah.”
Oneg provides an origin. We come to know the outside world by stumbling upon it – it seems to lack an essential presence. But if we say the reality comes from the oneg – it says, “by virtue of my neshamah I know there is a world and I can learn about.
