The purity in the stone is due to the pressure. It cannot be compressed any further. This is like the speed of light. This is an absolute (in a worldly context).
We have compared spiritual mentorship (hashpaa sichli) and the physical birth process. In the first case there is an intellect to be developed. In the second, there is no 'child waiting to be born' – it is initiated by the parents. The father wants to create.
This conception 'is what the father is' – this is on a level known only to him. So it is called 'ohr' because it is known. The inner part is that it is inherent and initiated by him and not solicited from outside.
He, the Father, is present in the world, through the souls of Israel.
In absolute truth there is no reason for the creation of the world except for the creation of the souls of Israel.
Sechel has no purpose but that there is a practical point, or an elevation into the essence – to the essence of the soul. It is these two poles that give it meaning. So too He said when he created the world He embedded value. The souls of Israel are the point of creation. He wasn't satisfied with 'just' revelations, but He wanted the level of essence – souls of Israel. The work of the souls bring down essential light that ultimately transform the world.
