Man with small brains

Yesterday in Torah Ohr, i was learning the difference between Yaakov and Eisav. Eisav comes from Olam HaTohu - small Keilim and large Oros, so the Keilim can't contain the Or.

Simply put - writes the alter Rebbe - it's like a man with small brains, The light of intellect can't shine through it. In a practical sense; he becomes narrow minded, his brain cannot handle two apposing facts. he cannot see both sides of an argument.

I pointed out to my Chavrusa, that here the alter rebbe uses the term - MAN with small brains (really it's not actually 'brains' rather 'Seichel [שכל]), not like in Tanya where the Alter Rebbe uses the term CHILD.

If someone does something bad (or good, if you like to be cynical), there is always another side to the story.

If you disagree - you're just another Eisav. A man with small Seichel!
