The Mishnah is called a city and the Braita is the aspect of a field, meaning "outside" the city. From an external perspective, it seems that the city is more important, as it contains the dwellings of the city's people. But when looking from an internal perspective, the field is the main thing, because that's where life comes from; that's where grain and fruits grow. Thus, the Braita gives life to the Mishnah and explains the law in more detail about how to perform it, while those who teach solely from the Mishnah are called "destroyers of the world," since the Mishnah does not detail all the laws sufficiently. | The Mishnah is called a city and the Braita is the aspect of a field, meaning "outside" the city.
