We are looking at a
new view.
The Rebbe explains a
new level of shalom/harmony. At a higher level each faculty is
focused on its own inner reality. There is an essential element in
everything, which mean it is true unto itself. This is due to the
Godly will, which gives each thing its own reality. Hence
chesed/kindness is purely kindness. And severity/gevurah is purely
severity.
But didn't we say
earlier that each included the others even in the pshitus/simple
state, since it comes from essence? Yes. We are saying everything is
rooted in essence. And this gives it a sense of reality.
But what is the
koach/faculty? From the essence perspective the faculty can be
completely pure. From the existence perspective it includes other
elements.
Think of a table. By
definition it has a board and 4 legs. It consists of the elements
that give it a presence in the world. The human being exists in the
world and so too the table has to have these features to be a
presence. But the concept (as opposed to its presence)
of the table in the human conception does not have 4 legs or the
ability to stand – it has just one element – the element of
malchus – it is pure without other elements except for the human
spark.
So at the level where
the faculty is in the essence and it has that level of purity, how
will it tolerate its opposite?
To be continued...
