It must continually be emphasized that the Sephiroth and the properties assigned to them, like the tetractys of the Pythagoreans, are merely symbols of the cosmic system with its multitude of parts. The truer and fuller meaning of these emblems may not be revealed by writing or by word of mouth, but must be divined as the result of study and meditation. In the Sepher ha Zohar it is written that there is a garment - the written doctrine-which every man may see. Those with understanding do not look upon the garment but at the body beneath it - the intellectual and philosophical code. The wisest of all, however, the servants of the Heavenly King, look at nothing save the soul - the spiritual doctrine - which is the eternal and ever-springing root of the law.
