Today’s Tanya portion delves into the profound kabbalistic concept of the fusion of creation and creator. In chapter seven of Shahr Haychod Vemunna, we explore the two perspectives of viewing the world: from above and from below. When seen from a heavenly perspective, one recognizes the oneness of God in all existence, echoing the Shema prayer. Conversely, from an earthly viewpoint, the world appears as a separate entity, yet ultimately traces back to God. Through intricate numerological equations and deep insights, we uncover the purpose of creation: for man to reveal the kingship of Hashem. Just as a king needs subjects to reign, God’s concealment allows for mankind to recognize and willingly accept His sovereignty. The name of Adon Olam beautifully encapsulates this idea of God’s kingship, sustaining the world as a separate entity that ultimately acknowledges its divine source. As we reflect on the intricate balance between concealment and revelation, we are reminded of the profound interconnectedness of all existence.
