The
power of movement in the hand remains a soul power, but it functions
according to the abilities of the hand. This is an example of the
light in a vessel. This is like the water in the colored vase.
For
a trained musician the hand responds to the will of the soul. But it
is not the hand itself, it is the koach ha-tenuah / the faculty of
movement in the hand – the soul working through the
refined/practiced hand. The hand became refined via training. The
training eliminates the coarseness or laziness of the hand.
And
the musical element is not the sound,
it is the message – the speaking of the soul. On a physical level
it comes out as a sound...
The
Rebbe described how the Baal Shem Tov could sing – his range and
ability - and none of this was to show his capability as a
chazon/cantor.
The
next metaphor the Pardes gives adds to our understanding. The light
that appears to be the color of the glass through which it passes.
The light itself retains its simple color. The light continues to
represent the sun. Functionally it changes, but in essence it
remains the same.
