Description

P. 180. (4th perek). Just like Hashem is incomprehensible, so is his chochma (wisdom) and thoughts. The infinite gadlus (greatness) of Hashem reaches out to us. Hashem's chochma is the Torah and His ratzon (will) is the mitzvos. Tzimtzum means that the infinite is compressed into the finite. Through the tzimtzum we are able to comprehend Hashem's infinite chochma and ratzon. The Torah travels and descends through the worlds, but will only come to person who makes himself low, in a positive sense.
