Light means that a
concept is originating from a level beyond understanding.
To present to the
recipient, the mentor 'contracts' his light, presents a point, and
then brings the light back...
The light that he
brings back has a function and is thus not the pure light from the
source. Yet the light retains a connection to the original source...
and has the same quality as the original light.
Avraham told the
world, “this world is a palace, and it has an owner/builder. It
is appropriate to serve Him (not just keep the palace in good
order)”.
The mentor raises the
student's perspective, until he gives him the whole reality.
The mentor-student
relationship is a metaphor for the creation of the world. Before the
contraction/tzimtzum there was just infinite reality. After the
contraction a point/trace remained. This is like the way the mentor
contracts the light of his mind to find a point that can be presented
to the recipient. The point/trace contains in a hidden fashion the
light that is to be presented. Without mind/sechel you don't see it
at all.
A human being has the
ability to see things from a 'reality' perspective.
