Questions for today:
How can the world be both One, and Divided?
Today's Tanya is a crucial lesson in our objective here.
Yesterday and several times we used the example of light, that when it's outside the source you can see it, yet when it's inside its source, it's not just invisible but it's completely humbled and undefined.
In that same sense, with the Creator's Divine ability to contract, the creator doesn't just bring about a world but creates every single property of, and gives energy to, the world.
- However that same G-dliness, when within the creator is completely humbled and undefined.
Today we learn that this isn't a distinction of within, or G-d forbid 'outside' the creator, there is no outside the creator.
The distinction is from perspective. with our limited perception where we can't see the Creator, we see the world that G-d created and all of its details.
However, from the creator's perspective where the reality is that there is no place without the creator that all of those distinctions are completely humbled and within the oneness of the Creator.
