At middle the second paragraph of the page – (line begins, “mimadregah...”)

We are looking at how souls are superior to angels. Souls are rooted in essence. They are birthed by physical unions – ie the very presence itself.

The angels by contrast are birthed from a more spiritual union – that of kisses. It is higher, but less essential...

And then in this discourse we went on to ask, 'so why are souls longing for kisses...?'

The kisses are a reflection of higher sphirot – chochmah and bina (which sense their source)... and so the light from there, though only a reflection, is still superior to that of the essence of the lower level...

A home is something representative of the essence... and in the home there arel all kinds of furnishings... they are like the practical necessities. So you may think the furnishings are on a lower level, but really a table in a home has a different significance from a table in the street. The essential element of the house devolves also onto the furnishings.

So too the kisses, which are from a higher level.
