Know! each world and every creation has its own particular form and unique construction. For example, the build of the lion differs from that of the sheep in its strength and in its bone structure {also in its voice}. This is also true within the lion species {itself}; there being differences between one lion and the next. These distinctions between creations are alluded to in the forms of the letters and their combinations. One who merits understanding the Torah is able to understand these differences between all the creations. He will also know what they have in common—namely, their origin and their end, in which they are identical, without distinction.
א. דַּע, כִּי לְכָל הָעוֹלָמוֹת וּלְכָל נִבְרָא יֵשׁ לוֹ קוֹמָה מְיֻחֶדֶת וּבִנְיָן מְיֻחָד. לְמָשָׁל מִין הָאַרְיֵה – קוֹמָתוֹ נִבְדָּל מִמִּין הַצּאן הֵן בְּכחוֹ וְהֵן בְּבִנְיַן אֵיבָרָיו, [וְהֵן בְּקוֹלוֹ] וְכֵן בְּמִין הָאַרְיֵה [בְּעַצְּמוֹ] יֵשׁ הֶבְדֵּל בֵּין כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד, וְכֵן בְּכָל הַנִּבְרָאִים הַהֶבְדֵּלִים הֵן כֻּלָּם רְמוּזִים בִּתְמוּנַת הָאוֹתִיּוֹת וּבְצֵרוּפֵיהֶם. וְהַזּוֹכֶה לְהָבִין אֶת הַתּוֹרָה, יוּכַל לְהָבִין רְמִיזוֹת כָּל הַהֶבְדֵּלִים שֶׁבֵּין כָּל הַנִּבְרָאִים וְגַם יֵדַע הִתְאַחֲדוּתָם, הַיְנוּ רֵאשִׁיתָם וְתַכְלִיתָם כִּי בְּרֵאשִׁית וּבְתַכְלִית הֵם בְּאַחְדוּת בְּלִי הֶבְדֵּל.
