And even concerning Rabbi Akiva, who was the teacher of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai (Rashbi) and also surpassed the other four sages who entered the mystical realm (pardes) and reached the place of the pure marble stones, entering and leaving in peace— it is truly astonishing why he included the sages, who are flesh and blood, in the category of fearing God, equating their reverence with the reverence for Heaven. Moreover, Rabbi Akiva himself established in the Mishnah, in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers), Chapter 4, in the name of Rabbi Elazar: Shouldn't he have included the wife of Zer Anpin as "Hashem Eloheinu" based on their words? Or perhaps he should have included the fathers of Zer Anpin, who are considered the father and mother?
