The Rebbe has been
explaining the difference between Souls and Torah; and everything
else in creation.
The souls are true.
Davar emitit. A true thing. Something that stands on its own.
And the souls are
able to receive essential lights. They can handle it. In essence
they can relate to them.
Souls are called
'living'.
Life cannot be
grasped. Sechel/mind, cannot define what it is. Those who insist
everything can be defined in worldly terms, give life a meaningless
description. They focus on functionality.
This element of
basing all on the functional element is divorced from real life...
A human being is pure
life in a body. It is beyond function. It is a reality.
What do we perceive
of life. If you cut your finger it will heal. It heals seamlessly.
As if it knows exactly what it has to look like. The fingerprints
are unique. The healing will leave the fingerprints intact. This is
to say, while the finger was cut, this element was not damaged. We
perceive that life never ends. The soul leaves the body eventually,
but life does not dissipate...
Where is the soul
when it leaves the body?
And where is the soul
when it is 'in' the body?
Where does it flow
from? It is a Godly presence. When it is in the body or out of the
body it is essentially in the same place.
This it the meaning
of life. There is no criteria for its existence.
The definition of
world is the exact opposite of this. It is all about function.
Torah is not a
functional element. You don't have the laws of the Torah, since you
need administration of the world – no, it is a thing of truth.
On the contrary, the
reason you an ox goring a cow is because it exists in Torah...
