Tanya - 1 Sivan 5786

The episode explores a profound Kabbalistic distinction between the Shekhinah—the divine presence manifest through the chain of worlds—and the Luchot (Tablets), which represent a radical departure from this established order. While the Shekhinah operates through a sequential descent via Malchus (kingship) in each world, the Luchot bypass this entire process, receiving divine revelation directly from Chochmah (Wisdom) of Atzilut without passing through the intermediate stages of Malchus Avitilis, Malchus Avriah, and Malchus Avitirah. This direct transmission creates a state of 'gilu'—revealed presence—of a higher order than even the Shekhinah, described as 'Al-Madez Galya' and 'Amadei Skassi,' indicating a revelation that is not only concealed but also transcends the usual spiritual mechanics of creation. The Rebbe’s teaching reveals that the Luchot are not merely physical objects but vessels of divine essence, inscribed not by human hands but by the Eibishtev (the Divine), with no physical limitations. The episode concludes with a striking claim: the second Luchot, though not created 'ma'ayse ala kim heim' (literally by God), still carried the same spiritual potency as the first, underscoring that divine presence can manifest through both miraculous and natural means. This challenges the assumption that spiritual power requires a direct, supernatural origin.
