Although
we have said mitzvot are rooted in essence, we are now saying there
is an advantage of Torah over mitzvot. This is due to its root in
the pristine/original element of essence.
Initially
it we say that Torah was from chochmah, but mitzvot were from
ratzon/will. This is in the case where Torah is coming in a way of
pnimi – integration.
But
the very root and source of this aspect of Torah in actuality, is in
the essence at a deeper level than will/ratzon.
Things exist not due
to their function, but due to their source. Why is there chochmah?
Is it a response to the needs of sechel/mind? No things are sourced
above.
Take orderliness –
it is a useful faculty in life. It serves the other elements of
life. But really it is a primary element. It can appear to be
secondary. But it is rooted above.
Ratzon is an
expression of essence. Chochmah is an look at essence itself.
