The soul of Adam HaRishon was created by the upper force like a dim, barely glowing candle. This is a small state (VAK), and therefore, it is said about Adam that “he was born circumcised,” without the evil inclination, like an angel. An angel belongs to the still, vegetative, and animate levels.

Israel is a desire that has passed through the shattering in a step-by-step descent. Israel receives enormous egoism due to the fact that the light of Infinity enters its will to receive and inflates it.

A tiny black point in the white light expands to the full magnitude of the infinite light. It must attain the same power as the light—the Moon must shine exactly like the Sun.
