This (first) class (of three) explains the idea of החדלתי תירושי המשמח… ואנשים.
Joy means reevaluation, as is evident from the nature of the birth of wine, from hidden to revealed. This is why there’s secondary characteristic of נכנס יין יצא סוד.
In human terms this is the idea of Bina -Hisbonenus- reveling the passions for Hashem.
The Ma’amar includes three levels of Hisbonenus and three levels of ‘revelation’.
1) Hisbonenus that God is the greatest thing in the world inspires (emotional) care in doing Mitzvos.
2) Hisbonenus that there’s nothing to the creation aside from the Creator inspires full (emotional) Ahava ViYirah.
3) Hisbonenus in the transcendence of Godliness (הפלאה, אוא”ס המופלא) inspires super-rational love- רעותא דליבא.
