Good morning and welcome! Today is the second of Sivan, a very special spiritual day. We’re diving deep into Tanya, Chapter 52, to uncover a hidden truth: the divine revelation is concealed within God’s will. Imagine a chain, each link representing a world. This divine energy descends, like a secret message, from world to world. This is the Shechinah, the divine presence, making its home in the holiest place of each world - the Holy of Holies.
Think of it like the human brain, the control center. In each world, the Holy of Holies acts as its brain, distributing divine energy. It’s like a king, using his most powerful tool, his word, to rule his kingdom. That’s the power of Malchus, the divine speech. But here’s the twist, each world’s Malchus becomes the wisdom of the world below it. It’s like a daughter becoming a mother, passing wisdom down the generations.
This energy flows from the highest world, Atzilus, down to Briyah, the world of understanding, where the Talmud originates. Then it descends to Yetzirah, the world of emotions, where the Mishnah, with its laws and debates, takes root. Finally, it reaches our world, Assiyah, the world of action. But there’s a problem - what happens when the Holy Temple, the physical manifestation of this energy, is destroyed? Stay tuned for Chapter 33, where we’ll unravel this mystery!
