God and the world
In the letter of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, he divides between Method C of the Nefesh Chaim, in which the tzimtzum is a parable, but the parable is only in the light and not in the light, and Method D of Chabad, in which the tzimtzum is a parable, but the parable is in both the light and the light.
Question - If the tzimtsum is a parable, what is Rav Chaim's motivation to say that it is only about the light, what is the difference? Methods A, B, D, are understandable and clear in their purpose, but what does Rav Chaim's method C gain over method D?
Thank you very much!
I included his letter in my book No Man Can Control the Spirit. In my opinion, most of these discussions are just wordplay.
Does the Rabbi mean that the discussions between the third and the fourth are nonsense or in general?
Because I remember the rabbi once said that this dispute is the main cause of most of the disputes between Hasidim and Lithuanians?
The dispute is whether the reduction is literal or not. And there is also the Hasidic thesis that the reduction is not literal is nonsense. But light and light and other vegetables, these are in my opinion Milli's fatomas.
