40. The eyes of the white head, THAT IS, KETER OF ARICH ANPIN, THAT IS CALLED THE SKULL are different from other eyes. There is no membrane cover and no eyelid over the eye. What is the reason? It is because it is written: "Behold, he who keeps Yisrael shall neither slumber nor sleep" (Tehilim 121:4), MEANING HE WHO KEEPS Yisrael above, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN, WHOM THE EYES OF ARICH ANPIN KEEP. It is written: "Your eyes are open" (Yirmeyah 32:19) WITHOUT A MEMBRANE COVER, and we learn that everything that descends upon us with compassion has no cover on the eye and has no eyelid over the eye. All the more so the white head that needs none.
41. Rabbi Shimon remarked to Rabbi Aba: What is this alluding to? He replied to him: To fish of the sea that have no eyelids or covering membranes. They do not sleep and require no protection over their eyes, BECAUSE MERCY FLOWS ON THEM. All the more so the most Ancient of all that requires no sentinel, since he is the one that takes care of everything, and all take their sustenance from him. He does not sleep. That is what is meant by: "Behold, he who keeps Yisrael shall neither slumber nor sleep," FOR IT GUARDS Yisrael above, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN.
42. It is written: "Behold, the eye of Hashem is upon those who fear him" (Tehilim 33:18), WHICH MEANS ONE EYE. It is written: "The eyes of Hashem, they rove to and fro through the whole earth" (Zechariah 4:10), WHICH MEANS TWO EYES. HE REPLIES: It is no contradiction. Here in Zeir Anpin, THERE ARE TWO EYES, but here in Arich Anpin, THERE IS ONE EYE. In spite of all this, there are two eyes that turn into one, which is white within the white, and the white is inclusive of all that is white.
43. The original whiteness illuminates, ascends and descends to look on THAT which is bounded in a bundle. We have learned that whiteness struck and lit three candles called glory, majesty and joy, and they all glow in perfect happiness.
44. The second whiteness illuminates. It ascends and ITS LIGHT descends. It stamps and produces three other candles called Netzach, Chesed and Tiferet which glow in perfect happiness.
45. The third whiteness glows and radiates light. It exits the cover of the brain, and it stamps the center candle in the seventh. It creates a path to ILLUMINATE to the lower brain, ZEIR ANPIN, and all candles below, IN ZEIR ANPIN, glow. Rabbi Shimon said: It is beautiful. May the Ancient of Days open His eyes over you when you need Him.
46. We have learned that of white is within white. The white includes all that is white. HE EXPLAINS: The first white shine, ascends and descends downward to the three candles on the left side. They glow and bathe in this white, as someone who bathes his body with good perfumes and pleasant fragrances to clean what he went through before.
47. The second white descends and ascends and illuminates to the three candles of the right side. They glow and bathe in the white OF THE RIGHT EYE as one that bathes himself in fine perfumes and fragrances, to cleanse what he went through before.
48. The third white illuminates rising and descending. THROUGH IT, white light emanates from the innermost part of the brain and beats on the black hair OF ZEIR ANPIN as needed, and also on the head and the brain in the head OF ZEIR ANPIN. It illuminates the remaining three Sfirot, WHICH ARE CHOCHMAH, BINAH AND DA'AT. UNTIL NOW, NOTHING IS REVEALED EXCEPT FOR CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET, NETZACH, HOD AND YESOD. THEY BECOME REVEALED as revelation is necessary, if the concealed Atik wishes TO HAVE IT REVEALED.
49. We have learned that this eye OF ARICH ANPIN is not closed, and they are two EYES reconstituted into one. All of it is right and it contains no left, since it does not slumber or sleep and it requires no guarding. There is no one that is capable of shielding it. It keeps everyone else safe and watches over all. From the watchful guardianship of that eye, everyone is sustained.
