The sages tell us that the torah
is G-d's infinite knowledge. The question is if G-d's knowledge is
infinite, how can something infinite be placed in something finite,
the written torah. This is why the sages have said that
you can come to appreciate G-d's greatness in his humbleness. G-d
is not only the ultimate level of infinite, but he also has the characteristic
of finite. If one was to say that G-d is only infinite and not finite
then G-d is being limited to not being finite. The truth is that G-d
is above both finite and infinite. Therefore G-d can create something
that is both finite and infinite. The written torah is finite, but
it contains G-d's knowledge which is infinite. The Torah
is compared to water. Water that goes from a high place to a low place
is unchanged. It is the same water in both places. G-d's knowledge
is the same; it is the same exact thing before and after it comes
into the torah. By studying the torah, a person's mind becomes united
with G-d's knowledge which is infinite. At the same time, since the
torah is infinite one can never finish studying the torah. This is
partially illustrated in Rabbi Shusterman's classes. Each line is
explained extensively with citations from multiple commentaries and
the chassidic interpretation of each line.
