Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Sec4 Chap19 Torah is the conduit to connect to the infinite light.
A New Tanya class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz “Torah is the conduit to connect the physical to the infinite light.”
Tanya Igeret Hakodesh Chapter 19
Based on the verse in Psalms עוטה אור כשלמה the Alter Rebbe explains that Torah has the component of Infinite Light & Finite world hence the Torah can connect the two opposite forces.
The Arizal writes that Moshe Rabeinu did not comprehend the essence of the high level of Chochma namely אבא דאצילות rather he comprehend the external aspect of Chochma which goes into Bina which goes into the 7 Sefirot namely the small face as its limited from those Midot is the source of the rules in the Torah till it manifest in the 4 lowest Sefirot of נהי״ם which is called נובלות חכמה as the Torah states וראית את אחורי ופני לא יראו.
The question is Moshe was the greatest prophet how is it that the Arizal taught deep teachings even higher than Chochma & Keter of Atzilut?
The Arizal & the Rashbi meditated with Chochma & Daas with Chochma & Daas you can have a finite understanding of even great levels as they are comprehend what they can comprehend.
Moshe Rabeinu saw G-Dliness full revelation the most that Moshe can handle in full revelation is from the level of נהי״ם that’s comes from the 7 Midot, from Bina from external Chochma that is revealed to their intellect.
However the Zohar says the Torah actually is sourced in the highest level of Chochma. What we comprehend is from external Chochma what we don’t comprehend is from internal Chochma as the קרי & כתיב the קרי is what we can comprehend & the כתיב is from beyond comprehension.
To clarify: חיצוניות of a Sefira is that allows the Sefira expand & reach lower levels. פנימיות of a Sefira is the part which is united with its source. As we see with our neshama that it manifests itself away from its source 5 levels from intellect to emotions to thought to speech to action.
Moshe Rabeinu that comprehended the highest level of external Chochma had the ability to bring it down all the way to the physical level of physical Mitzvot hence the term נובלות חכמה as it falls from the highest to the lowest as we know the main purpose of Torah is the physical Mitzvot. The whole purpose of study is to do Mitzvot. As the Arizal taught us that every person will have to be reincarnated till he completes all 613 commandments.
The Alter gives an example as we know there is energy that created from Action, Speech & Thought. In thought there is 3 levels of energy source Thought, Speech or action. When one talks & does not think where does the energy come from so the person must have thought of this before as the energy has to come from some where as we see that all energy comes from the higher world from the level of נהי״ם.
