The nose of Atika Kadisha is long and large, and it is called longsuffering (lit. long nosed). This nose of Zeir Anpin is short. When smoke comes out swiftly, judgment is formed. Who delays it – the nose of Atika, namely, its Chassadim, as said. Everything is as I said in the Greater Gathering, where the companions commented.
In his book, Rav Hamnuna Saba discusses the two nostrils of the nose. There is smoke and fire from the one and contentment and satisfaction from the other, because it contains both right and left. Smoke and fire are from the left, as said; and contentment and satisfaction from the right, which is Chassadim that incorporate Chochmah. It is also written, “and his fragrance like the Lebanon” (Hoshea 14:7). Of the Female it is written, “and the scent of your countenance like apples” (Shir Hashirim 7:10), referring to the illumination of Chochmah called smell. If this applies to the Female, it applies to him, Zeir to Anpin even more, for bestowing it on the Female. This is well said.
