(line
starts, 'kuli...') For text, see picture below.
A
person cannot really divest himself of having a name. Above, not
that He is compelled to have a name, but when He chooses to reveal a
name it is unified with Him.
The
hispashtus/spreading light also has an element of essence. This is
like tha application of a person's name to the property he owns.
One
may say, 'possession is ownership'. But how does one own a piece of
land.
On
an external level you may say there is a social agreement. But
ownership is real.
Land
cannot be stolen. How is one's name expanded and associated with
property in an unbreakable way? This is because the name is a
ha-arah/reflection of the person and the essential truth of his
presence.
So
we see this hispashtus – extension of the name – remains
connected to him.
The
body is unified with the soul. It is not just that the soul is stuck
in the body. The soul quality reflects itself in the body – the
body is alive.
The
body has no life of its own. The light of the soul enlivens it. The
body acquires a soul element and is affected by it. A body without
a soul cannot last at all. A soul has an essential quality and does
not disintegrate. If the body were to completely nullify itself to
the soul it would live indefinitely.
The
body structure is reflective of the soul that it contains –
mochin/mind and middot/emotions and then action...
