the animal does not have the perception of eternity. The human has a perception of eternity. His reality is based on the infinite truth. An animal is not a real presence, a human is real and has a point. And among the human beings the real point is the Jew.
This is the G-dly truth. This is the point of the world. All human intellect is based on this one point. There is a Creator that precedes the world. He has no definition and needs no definition.
The higher something is the lower it descends and will be dressed in a more physical garment.
This is like the lion and the ox. We know that the face of the lion is to the right of the heavenly chariot, which is at a higher level than the face of the ox which is on the left. But here below the ox turns out to be a kosher animal and can be brought to the alter in the temple in Jerusalem. And the lion is an impure carnivore.
In truth it means that due to the elevation of the lion above it descends to being unkosher below.
