Част 5 · Chapter 7

The interpretation of the matter is that there are several rules: 1) When two lights are in two vessels, each on its own, and afterwards, when the two lights enter one vessel, this will be called incorporation when one is contained in the other in one vessel. There is yet another reality: Since these two phases of lights, male and female, are in two vessels, what happens to them is what is said in the portion Truma, that then there is Ahava [love] in them. This means that the illumination of the male is incorporated in the female, and both are in one vessel. Also, the illumination of the Nukva is incorporated in the vessel of the male once more. Thus, they are four lights, two in each vessel, incorporated in each other, and this is the meaning of the four letters of Ahava.
