P. 29 (40) אבל לכל תכלה: We learned that anything that is limited anywhere whether in the beginning, the middle or the end, is limited b’etzem, limited throughout. We also learned that it means HaAras HaOneg (not Atzmus.) ATZMUS: Is NOT Hashem. Maor is NOT Hashem. Hashem is SIMPLE and has no raltionship at all to any keli. Atzmus is Elokus as it exists only in relation to self. Ohr Ain Sof is also called Ohr Abba and Ohr Atzmi, a light that is unchanged. But if one adds Giluy to Ohr Atzmi you get a HaAra that is related to seder hishtalshelus. There are three levels of Ohr: 1) Giluy =Memale = ohr that is changed by the Tzimtzum. 2) Helem = Sovev =Noga ba tzimtzum = Helem sh’b’geder helem v’giluy. 3) Atzmus=Aino b’geder helem v’giluy = Lo noga b’tzimtzum klal. The Oneg that is in Mitzvos is the pnimius and Atzmus HaOneg. It is NOT Taanug Hamurkav, it is not taanug that is mixed with something else.
