One thing is concealed within another... This refers to the concept of “clothing” (הלבשה, halbashah) discussed in the Kabbalah. This phenomenon is perfectly evident as it manifests itself in man’s soul. For example, when a father chastises his son, love is the active power, for the father does what he does only because he loves his son.
Yet while love is the active power on the hidden plane, our eyes see only the father’s surface anger or hatred, because he puts on an outer face of rage. There are many similar examples. But sometimes what is inside and what appears on the surface are not opposites. It is just that what is hidden may be a deep thought which the owner does not want to reveal, and accordingly he outwardly acts in a different way, and this is all that is revealed to those who see him.
