Crown corresponds to
the level of will. We usually think of will as the resul of some
kind of need. We are refering to something deeper than that.
Ratzon/will is something given to the created by the Creator. It is
the spirit of the Creator within the created. It is not something
the creation can fabricate on its own.
Ratzon/will does not
have a reason or resultant benefit. It is the force that is entirely
pure. It expresses an inner reality. The reality, 'that it is'.
You wake in the
morning and say, 'modeh ani – I acknowledge...' You woke me up to
recognize this greatness. And I'm staying connected. And Your
presence is with me all the time. This is ratzon/will without a
worldly context.
This will/ratzon
crowns the human being. Puts him in the context of supremacy. Rises
him above worldly shackles and needs.
This element of
ratzon/will is the force of life itself. You cannot understand it.
You cannot define it.
The whole world is
precarious. No it is real – there is a Godly will to create it.
