The world is called,
'something from nothing”... it is a reflection of infinity.
The world is derived
from an external reflection (ha-arah chitzoni).
This is like when a
mentor, works with his student. He provides him with an 'external
light'. The inner light, the student is not able to receive.
A teacher and student
relationship is different. The teacher provides a level of knowledge
that he gives to the student.
A mentor/mashpia is
different. He is not a 'transmitter of information' – he himself
is affecting this sense/feeling/knowledge. Why is he the
mashpia/mentor? It is due to the fact that he has the material on a
more fundamental level. And this is why he can influence the mentee.
The mentee can
receive only that for which he has vessels to receive... Think of
eating. For the nutrients to enter the bloodstream it has to be
internally processed, till the food is no longer an external
material. This is a good metaphor for how the mentor and mentee
relate. So the food has to be presented in a special manner and fed
in an appropriate way.
The first state of
eating is 'the taste' and this tells the body, 'hey, this is
something you can relate to'.
This is an external
reflection. The mentor has the fundamental level, but he gives an
external reflection, that is fitting for transmission to the mentee.
Faith is the
brightest. It sees before you understand.
