Ayin,The painting shows a tree with leaf/eyes and also a cut away of the tree, showing the water traveling inside the tree. This is truly the only living part of the tree. Ayin's lesson is to dig under the surface of our mundane reality and sense where we are, who we are and what force is pulling us. The limbs go here and there, to the right, to the left, but always up; the yetzer hara, the yetzer hatov, but always towards HaShem. The word for tree is aytz, beginning with ayin. The ayin derives from a symbol for eye, very much like the leaves of this tree. If you look at trees, you'll see that the branches are attached to the tree to form ayin! |
