Class Two Basi Ligani 5721 (Ma’amar 2) Part Two.
This class continues the theme of there being two opposites in how Hashem’s names are manifest, to the extent that the only way to explain their existence is through the idea of Nimna Hanimnaos!!
1) אליו ולא למדותיו the Elokus of the Keilim, join with the Keilim with the Koach of Atzmus, thus the Alter Rebbe’s commentary that אליו ולא למדותיו actually means Atzmus.
2) The Maggid’s idea לא כפי שאני נכתב אני נקרא because we cannot know Atzmus; this also explains נגד שמא אבד שמא to reveal the lower the higher must be “lost”. The exception is Yom Kippur, which the Rebbe explains means the bringing together of opposites.
