"When a person's mind grasps a concept of Torah"


“When a person’s mind grasps and enclothes a concept of Torah, his mind is simultaneously enclothed within the concept.


His mind envelops the divine wisdom, and the divine wisdom envelops his mind.

The divine wisdom becomes part of him, and he becomes part of it”


--Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz


From Opening the Tanya, p. 148, by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
