Atzilus is an intermediary not just for creation, but also for revelation | The whole idea of atzilus is the revelation of that which was concealed - הפרשת הארה | The purpose of atzilus is to allow for revelation of Godliness in the lower worlds to bring about ביטול היש לאין | The greatest pleasure God receives from his creations is from the nullification of one's ego in this lowly world | The analogy of the talking bird which peaks the interest of the king | There is no comparison between all the finite worlds and the infinite creator - more than the lack of comparison of a drop of water to the whole ocean • Link to view this page of the maamar: www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=31640&st=&pgnum=48 •
