Partie 8 · Chapitre 57

This is the matter of what is written in the Zohar, that Keter is male alone, without a female — meaning, without a female separate from it. And what we say, that there is male and female, is that these two aspects, of MA and BON, exist in it, in its right and in its left, which are aspects of male and female everywhere, but not that there are separate ZON in it in two Partzufim — understand this very well. And by this you will understand how AVI clothe Arich Anpin, one on its right and one on its left, for it is likewise so in Arich Anpin itself: the right side of it is the male MA, and the left side is the female BON.
