We
have explained that you may have the real essence, as in the case of
souls having Godliness as in 'the time to come', and yet still they
will vie for 'kisses'.
Yet
'kisses' are only an expression from the level of chochmah and binah.
So how does this compare to having 'the real thing'?
Think
of the difference between being inside and outside a room... when you
are inside you are embraced by the reality of the room. Usually we
say 'being inside' is experiencing the reality. This is like the
soul. 'In the time to come' it is like the soul being unified with
its source. Kisses are like 'looking into the room'.
Yet
there is a special advantage to 'kisses'.
This
is 'knowing what I am delighting in' - this has a special quality.
To live is the essential thing. But to 'know that I am alive' has a
certain additional quality.
