what do we learn from the TWO WORDS found in the word תבונה???
WE learn that תבונה sometimes SKIPS over the EMOTIONS of FEAR and LOVE and goes straight to ACTION
What is the DIFFERENCE between an action done with תבונה and one that is done with our natural love and fear of Hashem
Done with תבונה=goes up to world of Briah
Natural love= Yetzirah (world of emotions)
How does our תבונה act as wings if it's intellectual, and the mitzvos are physical
Hashem considers our תבונה as actual love (real love acts as wings)
