א נַחֲזֹר לְעִנְיָנֵנוּ, וְהִנֵּה מְבֹאָר שָׁם שֶׁאָמְרוּ שֶׁכָּל אֶחָד יְסַפֵּר מַעֲשֶֹה יְשָׁנָה מַה שֶּׁהוּא זוֹכֵר מִזִּכָּרוֹן הָרִאשׁוֹן וְכוּ' וְסִפֵּר הַזָּקֵן הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁבֵּינֵיהֶם שֶׁהוּא זוֹכֵר גַּם כְּשֶׁחָתְכוּ הַתַּפּוּחַ מִן הֶעָנָף, דְּהַיְנוּ בְּעֵת שֶׁחָתְכוּ אֶת טַבּוּרוֹ וְכוּ', והב' סִפֵּר שֶׁזּוֹכֵר גַּם כְּשֶׁהָיָה הַנֵּר דּוֹלֵק, דְּהַיְנוּ מַה שֶּׁנַּעֲשָֹה עַצְמוֹ בְּעֵת הָעִבּוּר שֶׁהָיָה נֵר דּוֹלֵק עַל רֹאשׁוֹ וְכוּ', והג' סִפֵּר שֶׁזּוֹכֵר גַּם בְּעֵת שֶׁהִתְחִיל לְהִתְרַקֵּם הַגּוּף וְכוּ', והד' סִפֵּר שֶׁזּוֹכֵר גַּם בְּעֵת שֶׁהָיָה מוֹלִיכִין הַגַּרְעִין לִנְטוֹעַ הַפְּרִי, דְּהַיְנוּ כְּשֶׁנִּמְשְׁכָה הַטִּפָּה בְּעֵת הַזִּוּוּג, והה' סִפֵּר שֶׁזּוֹכֵר גַּם אֶת הַחֲכָמִים שֶׁהָיוּ מַמְצִיאִים אֶת הַגַּרְעִין, דְּהַיְנוּ שֶׁזּוֹכֵר גַּם כְּשֶׁהָיָה עֲדַיִן בַּמֹּחַ וְכוּ', והו' והז' והח' זָכְרוּ גַּם אֶת הַמַּרְאֶה וְהַטַּעַם וְהָרֵיחַ קֹדֶם שֶׁנִּמְשַׁךְ עַל הַפְּרִי שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת נֶפֶשׁ רוּחַ נְשָׁמָה וְכוּ', וְהַתִּינוֹק, שֶׁהוּא הבעטליר הָעִוֵּר בְּעַצְמוֹ, שֶׁמְּסַפֵּר כָּל זֶה אָמַר שֶׁזּוֹכֵר לַאו כְּלוּם, כִּי הוּא לְמַעְלָה מִן הַכֹּל וְזוֹכֵר אֲפִלּוּ מַה שֶּׁהוּא קֹדֶם מִנֶּפֶשׁ רוּחַ נְשָׁמָה, שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת אֵין וְכוּ' וְכוּ', עַיֵּן שָׁם כָּל זֶה הֵיטֵב, וְאִם תִּרְצֶה לְהַבִּיט בְּעֵין הָאֱמֶת, תִּרְאֶה מֵרָחוֹק פְּלָאוֹת ה', אֲשֶׁר לֹא נִשְׁמַע וְלֹא נִרְאָה כָּזֹאת מִימוֹת עוֹלָם:
1Let us return to our subject. Behold, it is explained there that he said that each one should tell an old story, what he remembers from his first memory etc. and the first person among them told that he remembers even when they cut the apple from the tree, that is, when they cut his umbilical cord etc.; and the second one told that he also remembers the light shining, that is, what happened with him during pregnancy, when a light was blazing above his head etc.; and the third one told that he also remembers when his body began taking form etc.; and the fourth told that he also remembers when they were bringing out the seed to plant the fruit, namely when the droplet emerged during relations; and the fifth one told that he remembers even the sages who were bringing out the seed, that is, he remembers when he was still in the brain etc.; and the sixth, seventh and eighth remembered even the appearance, the taste and the smell before they were infused on the fruit, which are the aspect of Nefesh-Ruach-Neshamah etc.; And the yanik [infantile, lit. suckling], who is the blind beggar himself who is telling all this, said he remembers “Nothing At All,” for he is above everything and remembers even even what was before NR"N, which is the aspect of EYN/Nothingness etc. etc.. Take a good look there, and if you wish to look with an honest eye, you will see from afar the wonders of Hashem, the likes of which have not been heard or seen since the creation of the world.
