QUESTION:
We always talk about Yesh m'ayin as the greatest miracle of all time, but ifHashem existed already, so how do we say it's Yesh m'ayin; Hashem was there?
ANSWER:
Hashem was there, Hashem is the Ayin; when you say Ayin it means Hashem.M'ayin yovo ezri? From Hashem, that's the Ayin, because He's by himself, you don't see any gashmius at all. Yehi He said, then the gashmius that we know came into existence, but He is the Yesh, He's the only Yesh there is, there's no Yesh except Him.
Our yesh is only, b'dvar Hashem shamayim na'asu, by His word it came into existence. Whatever you see now is just dvar Hashem. L'olam Hashem d'vorcho nitzav ba'shomayim, Your word standsba'shomayim. Which word? Yehi, that word, is standing ba'shomayim. If you take back Your yehi, the whole shomayim will turn into nothing. So the whole world is nothing but the dvar Hashem, andHashem we call Ayin, but He is the only real Yesh there is. That's the Yesh.
