We
are saying that although the will and pleasure becomes contracted
(not just quantitatively) and the Godly life in them is progressively
hidden, yet here in this lowest world things still represent the
Godly reality – and it is in the soul of man to relate to it and
live to it...
We

You
see physical stuff, but you sense what they represent. It is up to
man to choose whether he wants to live with the physical or the
spiritual.
Klipah
is a shell. Like the shell of a nut or the peel of a fruit...
Klipah nogah is a shell without life, but it has recognition that it
contains life.
And
there is an overall Godly reality beyond the klipah and the
tzimtzum/contraction. And this is pnimi – the inner reality.
It
is Israel, Torah and Mitzvoth that sustain the world.
The
sages are called 'builders' because they are engaged in building the
world.

is a statement that the existence of the world is by virtue of the
sages.
