סימן י"א-אני ה'

This discourse was said on Shavuos of [5]563. The conversations and matters pertaining to this discourse are not known to us. And there it speaks of the depths of understanding [tevunos haTorah l'omkah] of the Torah. And I heard from the holy mouth of Reb Nosson that Rabbainu told him that this matter is comprised of three aspects — namely: T'VU'NAs Ha-TO'RAH L'OM'KAH [the initial letters of these three Hebrew words spell out the three aspects, as a hidden acrostic].

There — in the discourse of Rabbah bar bar Chanah — "the bird [tziparta] — this is the aspect of speech [dibbur], which is the intermediary between man… and Heaven — which is the aspect of the depths of understanding of the Torah…" — This means: because the depths of understanding of the Torah is an aspect of a very high and elevated level, it is called "heavens" — in the aspect of: "high as the heavens." And one can say further, according to what is written: "He makes the heavens with understanding [b'svunah]" [Psalms 136] — and other similar verses.

There — in the discourse of Rabbah bar bar Chanah — "they pursue honor, which is the aspect of water — as it is written: 'The G-d of glory thunders, Hashem over many waters'" [Psalms 29] — in the manner that the commentators there explain: that His honor is visible through the physical rains — as it is written: "He does great things without limit" [Job 9]. And see Proverbs 8: "Before the mighty waters, nobility of waters" — and Isaiah 66: "and like a flowing river, the honor of the nations."

There — at the end of the discourse — "this is My Name — the lower unification [yichuda tata'ah]." — This means: in the manner of "My Name is within him" — mentioned above in Letter Hay — and also because the lower unification is Baruch Shem Kevod — as above in Letter Alef.
