We are looking at the
relationship between delight and wisdom/chochmah.
We said that actually
they are the same.
They are two
expressions... they relate to the same source.
The difference is
that in chochmah it is enclothed in some topic or element/structure.
In chochmah/wisdom is not the pure delight without form. It is the
pure delight as it comes into a presentation.
Take a human being
and how he relates to life. Then think of how that human sense
expressed itself in chochmah. So when he sits down to eat, he does
it in a certain manner. He won't lower his face into the food. This
is representative of his being a human
being.
His primary desire is
to be a human being. All else depends on this.
This desire is
inherent in his soul. It is not learned. It is not due to
socialization. It is how God made him. This is prior to all
expressions, but expresses itself at all levels. The first
expression of this desire is in his chochmah/wisdom.
And here the delight
comes in a form...
The chochmah/wisdom
identifies a certain thing and this allows the oneg/delight to relate
to it.
Pain is that which
prevents a person from experiencing his oneg/delight.
If a man is under
house arrest then the home represents the deepest pain. If it is a
regular home it is providing the deepest satisfaction.
