- However, Arich Anpin, who is from the phase of the Keter of Nekudim, had no annulment at all in him, as said above; indeed he is from the five lower [Sefirot] of the Keter of BON, as said above. And it is known that in NHY of the Keter of Nekudim there was some annulment when they descended to become Mochin for Aba and Ima, and therefore there were also phases of ZON in it, but a further correction and connection was added to them, namely that both of them were one Partzuf — the male and the female within it — in this way: the phase of the name MA in it was placed on the entire right side, and the phase of the name BON in it was on its left side, and the two were joined together in the phase of one Partzuf.

Also, know that in the GAR of every discernment, no lack in the discernment of Hochma applies there. For the lack of Hochma follows from the point of restriction, and the three first ones mean that they are above the point of restriction that is in the screen, as is known. But there can be a lack of Hassadim there. And even this lack of Hassadim is possible only in the ZAT of Bina alone, but in the GAR of Bina, the Hassadim never cease from there, for Bina is the root of all the Hassadim, as is known in the Bina of the ten Sefirot of direct light. But her ZAT, which extended from her through the cutting off of her posterior, as above — these can be lacking Hassadim.
But in the two lower Partzufim of Atzilut, which are ZON, the matter of the lack of Hochma applies to them, since they are of the discernment below the Tabur of AK, and below the Tabur of AA, as is known. Therefore the states of the females of AA and AVI are on the left, and the states of the two females of ZA, called Leah and Rachel, are on the back of ZA. For the females of ZA, being lacking in Hochma, their state is therefore discerned as the discernment of back, as above. But the females of GAR, being only lacking in Hassadim, their state is discerned as the discernment of left.
And the root of these matters is brought in the Zohar, Vayikra, page 4a, on the secret of the verse “Eat, friends; drink, and be drunk with love” (Song of Songs 5:1): “The secret of the matter: ‘Eat, friends’ refers to above; ‘drink and be drunk, beloved’ refers to below. Rabbi Elazar said to him, ‘Who are they above, and who are they below?’ He said to him, ‘You have asked well. This is the upper place, where they are in unity, in joy, never separating; these are called “friends,” as it is written, “and a river went out of Eden” — and that river never separates, and they are found forever in will, in unity, in joy. “Drink and be drunk, beloved” — these are the ones below, who are called “beloved” at known times, and this has already been established. Come and see: of those above it is written eating without drinking. What is the reason? One who has jars of wine needs eating, and because the guarded wine rests there, of them it is written eating. And of those below, who need irrigation, of them it is written drinking.’ End of quote.”
Thus the coupling of the upper AVI is in the secret of the abundance of Hassadim, which is called eating, namely “eat, friends,” and this is the coupling of AVI that never ceases, in the secret of Eden and the river. And the reason for this is because “one who has jars of wine needs eating, and because the guarded wine rests there, of them it is written eating.” Meaning: the illumination of Hochma is termed wine preserved in its grapes, and since this illumination of Hochma rests there always, even in the Nukva, who is Bina, for she is the very self of Hochma from her own emanation, therefore there is no discernment of coupling upon the illumination of Hochma there, for the Nukva does not lack this at all, such that she would need the male to complete her, but rather she is lacking Hassadim, and for this she needs the male who is the secret of Eden, to impart to her the light of Hassadim, which is termed “eat, friends.” But ZON, who lack the illumination of Hochma, therefore need the coupling of drinking, meaning the illumination of Hochma, and this is what is meant by “and of those below, who need irrigation, of them it is written drinking.” Meaning that the lower male and female, who are ZON, thirst for the illumination of Hochma, and therefore their coupling is in the secret of “drink and be drunk, beloved.” And behold, it has been explained that the coupling of male and female in GAR is possible only through the bestowal of Hassadim, for it is impossible for the female of GAR to be lacking Hochma, for then they would not be called GAR. Therefore the standing of the male and female of GAR is discerned only in right and left, and not in front and back.
And one should not raise the difficulty that, since the entire source of the light of Hassadim in the ten Sefirot of direct light is Bina, how then is it possible for her to lack Hassadim, to the point of needing Aba? However, you know that Aba of Atzilut is the level of Bina of the new MA, and Ima of Atzilut is the ZAT of Hochma and Bina of Nekudim. For Atik took the GAR of HB of Nekudim, namely the discernments of Galgalta, Einayim, and Nikvey Einayim, which are the Keter of Hochma and the GAR of Bina, of the HB of Nekudim — these Atik took, and not only that, but even the light of Hesed of the ZAT of Bina also remained in Atik, and nothing remained for Ima except the ZAT of Hochma and the VAT of Bina, which are from Gevura downward. For after AHP of HB descended in the discernment of posterior to the ZAT of Nekudim, they could not take with them the light of Hesed of Bina, for the GAR of Bina drew it to themselves, in the secret of “for she desires mercy,” as the ARI wrote regarding Mati [reaching] and Lo Mati [not reaching]. See there.
Thus there is no discernment of the light of Hassadim in Ima of Nekudim, and therefore she needs Aba to impart Hassadim to her, for since he is the level of Bina of MA, he has the GAR of Bina, which is the source of all Hassadim. And he imparts them to Ima of Atzilut, however, these never separate, for their coupling never ceases, as above. And see in Mevo Shearim, Gate 4, Part 2, Chapter 11; and in Shaar HaKavanot, the discourses on Yom Kippur, discourse 2.
Therefore, the Nukva of AA, too, who is likewise of the discernment of AHP of the posterior of the Keter of Nekudim, as above — for the GAR of Keter, which are Galgalta, Einayim, and Nikvey Einayim of Keter, Atik took, namely the Keter of Hochma and the GAR of Bina, together with the light of Hesed of Bina that always remains in the GAR of Bina, as above — all of these Atik took from the Keter of Nekudim, and nothing remained for the Nukva of AA except the VAT of Bina from Gevura downward, together with ZON of Keter. Thus the Nukva of AA, too, is lacking Hassadim from the discernment of Keter, and therefore the Nukva of AA, too, needs to receive the light of Hassadim from the male, who has the complete level of Hochma of the new MA. Therefore there is male and female from the discernment of right and left in AA as well, only that they are in one Partzuf, because it is the discernment of a root, in which a separate name female cannot exist, as above.
