Editing Recognition and Sensation - Hacharah V'hargasha (section)

== General Concept ==
Each of the faculties—Chochmah and Binah—has advantages and disadvantages. The faculty of Da'at serves as an intermediary that connects them and compensates for their deficiencies.

The advantage of '''Chochmah''' is seeing the essence of something, while its deficiency lies in explaining things. This is similar to a person who has seen something with their own eyes: to themselves it is clear and simple, but they cannot successfully describe it to another person.

The nature of '''Binah''' is to "grasp" the concept, which it does by limiting and explaining it from all sides. Therefore, the greater, better, and clearer the comprehension, the more it actually limits the intellect, and consequently becomes more distant from it and more "materialized."

The function of '''Da'at''' is connection and attachment. When a person connects themselves powerfully, and fixes their thought on a specific concept with strength and persistence, Chochmah and Binah become joined together: the point-like vision of Chochmah is grasped within the comprehension of Binah, and the comprehension of Binah captures the flash of Chochmah. Then a new essence is born: '''Recognition''', which leads to '''Sensation'''.
