We
are saying that there are 2 categories of bitul/nullification.
The
way the world of atzilus is nullified to its source in contrast to
the way the world of Biya is nullified to atzilus.
Atzilus
has essence above it. It is preceded only by the infinity of
essence. The creation of atzilus is categorically different from
what precedes it.
Like
the drop is a tiny part of the ocean, and a cause results in an
effect, so too the lower worlds derive from their 'cause' or source
in atzilus.
This
relationship is in contrast to atzilus and the essence that precedes
it – there, there it is not a 'cause and effect' relationship.
When
you put up walls to make a house, your hands are busy with the
masonry and the wall, but you are busy building a house. And
the hands too are inspired by the vision of the house.
The
lower level of the cause (ilah) is dressed in the higher level of the
effect (allul).
