We
are discussing keilim/vessels and their significance.
To
refresh – The principle of light and vessels: the ohr/light is not
to be confused with 'light' that is just a created energy...
Ohr
is the effect of the presence of an essence.
In
what way is a host present for a guest. There is an external meal.
But the relationship is not based on the food. What makes up the
relationship? The acceptance by the host. The host presents
light/ohr to the guest. The spirit of his presence.
The
host's presence is more important than anything he gives. He
gives of himself. How? He's unto himself. But his presence itself
is a giving – it is very important to the guest. And how is it
transmitted to the guest? It is a gift of light. It is the human
reality.
The
human being is present in the world, but he is also independent of
the world, and this is the 'light' element.
He
contributes to the world. The world doesn't contribute to him.
The
world without a human being is meaningless.
Man's
presence in the world changes everything. He brought fundamental
reality to the world. A Godly reality.
This
is the meaning of ohr. He didn't have to do anything or say
anything. By his presence he changed the world.
Man's
first task was to name all the animals. This is because he knew that
each animal was not there for its own sake, but to make a specific
contribution to the wholeness of the world...
Man
knew that each animal was made to 'do its thing' and that there's a
meaning to everything.
The
vessels are created when the light is hidden. Then the
'somethingness' of the light remains and it forms a vessel.
