Description

Continuing with the piece from the Tzemach Tzedek on the osios (letters) likened to fiery horses. The element of afar (dust) corresponds to the sefira of Malchus. The rider is greater than his horse, but he needs the horse to reach the places where is not able to. Emotions only have a vehicle when the letters that express them come together. Malchus is called a horse. Sechel (intellect) and middos (character traits) can be lifted up through osios. The root of the osios is the also the root of the element of domem (the inanimate), a place where there is peace with the Creator.
