Tohu is 'ratzo' while tikun is 'shov' | The experience of 'ratzo' comes from the small capacity of the vessel (מצד קטנות הכלים) | The love of בכל מאדך - with all your might, not truly unlimited, just compared to ones limited faculties (heart and mind) | Tohu - vessels with small capacity, resulting in 'rotzo' and the light leaving the vessels | Tikun - vessels with broad capacity, resulting in 'shov', the light 'returning' into the vessels | The difference between the 'rotzo' of tikun and the 'rotzo' of tohu | Two types of emotional excitement - 1) like a candle becoming absorbed in a torch, the focus is the 'ratzo' - escaping the world • Link to view this page of the maamar: www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=31640&st=&pgnum=62 •
