Ohr ein sof, does not mean that there in infinite extention, rather it means that the light does not have an aim or message... Just as essence has no message. There is no question of 'why is it there?'

The light of essence/atzmus likewise has no definitve aim of 'what it stands for'. It stands for essence. This is ohr ein sof.

As the Rambam says, 'there is a First Being'. And what is His meaning? He is the starting point of all. He provides the element of absolute truth into the entire existence...

And the contraction/tzimtzum, means the element of infinity was contracted, and light was brought forward on the level that worlds can relate to.

This is like a cup of water from the lake. It is taken from the infinity and prepared for use...

And by means of this keilim/vessels are created.

This is like the fundamental reality of the human being, from which many faculties and atributes emanate.

Due to the reduction of light, the vessels are able to be brought into existence and reveled. The vessels are 'things' that stand on their own, as opposed to light which emanates from it source.

In the lowest level of light, where for example the house has to be secure and private (beyond just the truth of it, or the bare halachic definition), the higher level of the human quality is not removed from it.

The truth persists, but it is reduced sufficiently so that the vessel/keili can show itself.

The truth of the human element shines through all human activity.
