Torah reaches Atzmus. This refers to the ta’anug that is the most like the essence. The Maamar (and the class) reviews the discussion of Ta’anug and Ratzon from earlier in Samach Vov and the question of which is higher. Ultimately Ta’anug is higher than the highest Ratzon, but on that level, the Ta’anug doesn’t qualify (limit) the Ratzon at all. This is called “Asher” and this is the Koach haTorah to bring atzmus into gashmiyus. The explanation given in the class, used the ideas of: personality, nature and klipa (contained shell) to explain the material. Page 523, NEW SV p. 690.
