56 [of the pamphlet] at last line of the page – line starts:
'vehinei'. (P43 in the book)
We
have been talking about how He surrounds all worlds and fills all
worlds...
The
RAMBAM says that the first principle of chochmah/wisdom is that there
is a First Being, who brings all into being – without this all
wisdom/chochmah dissipates.
And
He is the source, through the 10 sphirot, of the elements of
surrounding and filling all worlds.
The
light that fills the world [ohr ha-mema'aleh] gives significance to
everything. The physical earth has been prepared for man. The
wisdom of man translates down into the world of action. The filling
light contains a nuance from the presentation of the surrounding
light.
The
filling light is absorbed within the surrounding light. And both of
these are unified within the Infinite Light, blessed be He [ohr ein
sof baruch hu].
Lights
are ultimately 'dressed in vessels' – and this is a perfect fit
between the vessels and the lights they hold. The vessel lends
itself to express the nature of the light.
Letters
are written with a pen. Written with ink. Ink can be spilled
without any connection to letters... the pen can make fine lines, but
unto themselves the fine lines do not allude to any idea. They are
like vessels. The light needs to be added. The pen does not
automatically tell you it will make letters. The lines are like
vessels absorbed in the ohr ein sof... by contrast the lights are
representative of the light.
