###### The Gate of Unity 29:1
[The Gate of Unity 29:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:1)

אך גם הנה, בהתבוננות באורות וכלים דאצילות דרך פרט יותר, אין כללות ועיקר המכוון בהם רק בענין זה דאיהו וחיוהי חד וגרמוהי חד, שבאמת אין הפרש בין איהו וחיוהי חד לאיהו וגרמוהי חד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, [it must be understood], even in the *Hitbonenut* – contemplation of the Lights and Vessels (*Orot V’Keilim*) of [the world of] *Atzilut,* in a more particular manner, that the primary intent is only [to understand] the matter of “He and His life force are one, [and He] and His organs are one,” that in truth, there is no difference between “He and His life force are one” and “He and His organs are one.”


###### The Gate of Unity 29:2
[The Gate of Unity 29:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:2)

דגם שהאורות הן בלי מה והכלים הן בבחינת יש כו', מכל מקום מצד עצמות המאציל הרי עשה שורש להתהוות הכלים קודם שעשה שורש להתהוות האורות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because even though the Lights are “*Bli Mah* – without whatness,” [that is, they are intangible], while the Vessels are in an aspect of “*Yesh -* somethingness” [and are therefore tangible], nevertheless, from the angle of the Essential Self of the Emanator, He actually made the root for the existence of the Vessels before making the root for the existence of the Lights.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:3
[The Gate of Unity 29:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:3)

דמה שמהתעבות האור נעשה כלי, הרי קדם לזה עצמו שרש ומקור

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The fact that the Vessel comes about from the “thickening” of the Light [poses no contradiction to this], since the root and source [of the vessels] preceded this.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:4
[The Gate of Unity 29:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:4)

והוא שנקרא חומר הפשוט או חומר ההיולי שקודם לצורה כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This [source] is called the “Simple [Primal] Matter – *Chomer Pashoot*” or “The *Heyulie* Matter” which precedes the “Form – *Tzoorah*” [of the Lights].


###### The Gate of Unity 29:5
[The Gate of Unity 29:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:5)

וביאור הדברים ידוע ומובן מהקדמה הידוע בענין כלים המגבילים ממש, שיש ב' מיני גבול

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The explanation of this matter is known, and may be understood through the well know preface regarding the matter of vessels which actually limit. That is, there are two kinds of limitations (*G’vool*):


###### The Gate of Unity 29:6
[The Gate of Unity 29:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:6)

הא' כח המגביל בעצם

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The first is the essential potential power to limit.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:7
[The Gate of Unity 29:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:7)

כמו כלי המוח המגביל והעין המגביל וכהאי גוונא

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Examples of this are the vessels of the brain which limits or the eye which limits, and the like.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:8
[The Gate of Unity 29:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:8)

אבל הוא רק בכח ולא בפועל עדיין

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, this is still only in potential rather than in actuality.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:9
[The Gate of Unity 29:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:9)

כמו שיש בכח ביד להגביל כל תנועה בגשם, קודם שיגביל בפועל ממש התנועה

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
For example, in the hand there is the potential power to limit every physical movement, [even] before it actually limits any [specific] movement.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:10
[The Gate of Unity 29:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:10)

ואף על פי שגבול זה שבפועל ובגלוי הוא ממש כמו אופן אותו הכח המגביל הרוחני שביד, שהוא מקור ושרש להגבלה זו שבפועל, מכל מקום נבדל ערך הגבול בכח מגבול בפועל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, although the actual revealed limitation is, literally, exactly like the spiritual potential power to limit of the hand, which is the root and source for the actual limitation, nevertheless, there is no comparison between the potential power to limit and the actual limitation [itself].


###### The Gate of Unity 29:11
[The Gate of Unity 29:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:11)

הא' שזה רוחני ועצמי וזה גשמי ונבדל מן העצם

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Firstly, one is spiritual and essential, whereas the other is physical and separate from the essence.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:12
[The Gate of Unity 29:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:12)

והב' שהגבול בכח אינו גבול ממש

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Secondly, the potential power to limit is not actual limitation.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:13
[The Gate of Unity 29:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:13)

רק שמגביל בכחו על פי רצון ובחירה לזה, ואינו גבול מוכרח, לומר שאין לו כח התפשטות עוד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Rather, [the person] limits his strength according to his will and choice, and it is [therefore] not a limitation of necessity, that is to say, [it is not] that he does not have the power to spread forth further.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:14
[The Gate of Unity 29:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:14)

רק שאינו רוצה להתפשט יותר כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Rather, he does not desire to spread forth further.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:15
[The Gate of Unity 29:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:15)

והרי זה רק עושה את ההגבלות, ואינו הגבלה אמיתית כגבול בפועל, שהוא הגבלה אמיתית כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
[Therefore], this is only [that which] **makes** limitations, while [it itself] is not truly limited. [In other words, it is not] like an actualized limitation, which is truly limited.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:16
[The Gate of Unity 29:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:16)

(וכמו שכתוב במקום אחר בענין פנימית הכלים וחיצוניות הכלים, שיתבאר בעזרת השם)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is in accordance with what is explained elsewhere regarding the matter of the innerness of the vessels and the externality of the vessels, as will be explained with the help of *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He.)


###### The Gate of Unity 29:17
[The Gate of Unity 29:17](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:17)

וכך יובן למעלה בשרש ומקור כלים המגבילים לאור

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
[Through this] it may likewise be understood [regarding how it is] in the upper realms, in the root and source of the vessels which limit the light.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:18
[The Gate of Unity 29:18](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:18)

דהיינו בשרש ומקור כח המגביל שלהם, שבא ונמשך מן העצמות, שמשם נמשך התהוות האור עצמו

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
That is, [we may understand] the source and root of their power to limit, which is drawn from the same Singular Preexistent Intrinsic and Essential Self of *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He, from which the lights themselves are drawn.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:19
[The Gate of Unity 29:19](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:19)

כמו מקור התהוות אור הרצון מהעלם עצם המקור לכל רצון

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
For example, the source of the existence of the light of a desire is from the concealed essential source of all desires.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:20
[The Gate of Unity 29:20](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:20)

הרי משם גם כן נמשך כח הגבול להגביל כח התפשטות אור הרצון, שלא יתפשט עוד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, the potential power to limit is also drawn from there, which limits the power to spread the light of the desire forth, so as not to spread forth further [than desired].


###### The Gate of Unity 29:21
[The Gate of Unity 29:21](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:21)

כדי שיוכל להיות טעם לרצון

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is so that the “reasoning for the desire” could come about.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:22
[The Gate of Unity 29:22](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:22)

שאם לא היה פוסק כח ואור הרצון, לא היה בא לעולם לכלל טעם לרצון

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because if the power and light of the desire would not cease, the “reasoning for the desire” could never come about.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:23
[The Gate of Unity 29:23](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:23)

והוא ממאמר קו המדה, העושה כל גבול בפועל ממש באורות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is controlled by the *Kav HaMidah*-The Measuring Line, which makes all the actual limitations of the lights.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:24
[The Gate of Unity 29:24](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:24)

וכך הוא עושה כל גבול בפועל ממש בכלים דעשר ספירות המגבילים, איך שיגבילו בפועל ממש

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
In the same manner, it makes all the actual limitations of the vessels of the ten *Sefirot* which limit, and dictates how they will actually limit.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:25
[The Gate of Unity 29:25](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:25)

אבל מקור ושרש שלהם אינו בחינת גבול אמיתי, רק שהוא עושה את אופן ההגבלה

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, their root and source, is not the aspect of true limitation, but rather, it determines the type of limitation.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:26
[The Gate of Unity 29:26](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:26)

(שזהו בא מקו המדה, מבחינת גבורה דאור אין סוף

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This comes from the *Kav HaMidah* – The Measuring Line, from the aspect of *Gevurah* of *Ohr Ein Sof-* Sternness of the Light of the Unlimited One, *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:27
[The Gate of Unity 29:27](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:27)

בחינת כח המכווץ שדומה לכח המתפשט, וב' קוין שקולין הן כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is the power to gather in, which is similar to the power to spread out, since they are two lines of equal balance.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:28
[The Gate of Unity 29:28](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:28)

כי כל יכול יש בו כח המגביל גם כן כו' (וכמו שכתוב במקום אחר)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because [being that *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He, is] “All Capable” (*Kol Yachol*) [He therefore] also has the power to limit (as explained elsewhere).¹ Section 1, Ch. 8. Also see Derech Emunah (by the same author, Rabbi Meir Ibn Gabai), Ch. 2.

footnotes:
¹ See Avodat HaKodesh,


###### The Gate of Unity 29:29
[The Gate of Unity 29:29](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:29)

ומבואר למעלה שזהו בחינת הרשימו כו', שמשם הוא שרש הגבלת הכלים דעשר ספירות דאצילות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
It was explained above² that this is the aspect of the *Reshimu* – Impression, which is the source of the limitations of the vessels of the ten *Sefirot* of [the world] of *Atzilut*.

footnotes:
² See Chapter 13.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:30
[The Gate of Unity 29:30](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:30)

ומבחינת הקו שנמשך מהרשימו, הוא שרש כל האורות כו' וכמו שכתוב במקום אחר באריכות)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The aspect of the *Kav* – Line, which is drawn from the *Reshimu* – Impression, is the source of all the Lights, as explained elsewhere at length.)


###### The Gate of Unity 29:31
[The Gate of Unity 29:31](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:31)

ואם כן גם שבחינת הכלים דאצילות מגבילים ממש בבחינת שמות דע''ב ס''ג הנקרא אותיות, הרי אין זה רק מצד כח העושה לגבול זה בעצמות המאציל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Therefore, although the aspect of the Vessels of [the world of] *Atzilut* actually limit through the aspect of the [four] names *A”v-*ע״ב-72*, Sa”G-*ס״ג-63*,* [*Ma”H-*מ״ה-45 and *Ba”N-*ב״ן-52], which are called “Letters,” however, this is only due to the potential power to make limitations within the Essential Self of the Emanator [Himself].


###### The Gate of Unity 29:32
[The Gate of Unity 29:32](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:32)

והיינו דאיהו וגרמוהי חד, מכח דאין סוף עצמו, כמו דאיהו וחיוהי חד בבחינת האורות כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This then, is the meaning of “He and His organs are one.” That is, [the Vessels] come about from the power of the *Ein Sof -* The Singular Preexistent Essential and Unlimited Being of *HaShem*-יהו״ה Himself, blessed is He, in the same way that, “He and His life force are one,” in regard to the aspect of the Lights.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:33
[The Gate of Unity 29:33](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:33)

(ובאמת גם בחינת הכלים דעשר ספירות דאצילות הן כח הגבול, ולא גבול בפועל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(However, in truth, even the aspect of the vessels of the ten *Sefirot* of [the world of] *Atzilut* are potential limitation (*Koach HaGvool*), rather than actual limitation (*Gvool B’Po’el*).


###### The Gate of Unity 29:34
[The Gate of Unity 29:34](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:34)

רק כאשר האור ושפע נגבל מאין ליש בבי''ע, אז נקרא גבול בפועל ממש וכמו שיתבאר בעזרת השם)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
It is only when the light and influence is limited to [create] “something” from “nothing” in [the worlds of] *Briyah, Yetzirah* and *Asiyah*, that they can be considered to be actual limitation (*Gvool B’Po’el Mamash*), as will be explained with the help of *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He.)


###### The Gate of Unity 29:35
[The Gate of Unity 29:35](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:35)

ולפי זה, המכוין בשמות דע''ב ס''ג שהן בבחינת הכלים המגבילים ממש כו', הרי זה עצמו הכוונה במקור השמות דע''ב ס''ג כו', שמהם נמשך מקור האור דאצילות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
According to the above, when a person focuses his intention on the names of *A”V-*ע״ב-72*, Sa”G-*ס״ג-63 etc., which are in an aspect of vessels that actually limit, this itself [constitutes] focusing his intention upon the source of the names of *A”V-*ע״ב-72*, Sa”G-*ס״ג-63 etc., which are the source of the Light of [the world of] *Atzilut*.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:36
[The Gate of Unity 29:36](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:36)

(והוא שם העצם, שהוא מורה על עצם המקור כנזכר לעיל)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is the Essential Name of *HaShem*-יהו״ה – *Shem Ha’Etzem*, which indicates the Essential Self of the Source, as previously explained.)³) and on.

footnotes:
³ See at length in Ginat Egoz of Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, translated as HaShem Is One, Vol. 1, The Gate of Intrinsic Being (Shaar HaHavayah


###### The Gate of Unity 29:37
[The Gate of Unity 29:37](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:37)

והיינו ממקור התהוות הכלים, דאיהו וגרמוהי חד כנזכר לעיל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
In other words, [his intention] is [focused] on the source of the existence of the Vessels, [about which it states] “He and His organs are one,” as explained above.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:38
[The Gate of Unity 29:38](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:38)

וממילא מובן דגם בבחינת תיקונין הנזכר לעיל על זה אמר גם כן איהו וגרמוהי חד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
From this it is self-understood that the statement, “He and His organs are one,” also applies to the above mentioned “Fixings-*Tikkunim.*”


###### The Gate of Unity 29:39
[The Gate of Unity 29:39](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:39)

משום דגבול בפועל מתאחד עם הגבול בכח המגביל לגבול זה שבפועל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because the actual limitation (*Gvool B’Po’el*) is unified with the potential power to limit (*Koach HaGvool*), which brings about this actual limitation.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:40
[The Gate of Unity 29:40](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:40)

על דרך דוגמא מכח המגביל שביד, שמיוחד ומקושר בגבול בפועל שבתנועה כנזכר לעיל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
[This may be understood] by way of analogy, from the potential power to limit of the hand, which is unified and bound to the actual limitation of the movement, as mentioned above.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:41
[The Gate of Unity 29:41](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:41)

(ומכל שכן בכלים דמוחא ולבא כו', שאינם נקרא גבול בפועל עדיין כנזכר לעיל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is most certainly true of the Vessels of the Brain, Heart [and Liver], which cannot yet be considered to be actual limitation (*Gvool B’Po’el*), as explained above.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:42
[The Gate of Unity 29:42](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:42)

רק שמגבילים ומתארים לאורות שיהיה ניכר במציאת יש בלבד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Rather, they limit and describe the Lights, only so that they may become recognizable as a tangible existence.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:43
[The Gate of Unity 29:43](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:43)

אבל יש להן שרש בעצמות, כמו שיש לאורות שורש בעצמות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Nonetheless, the [Vessels] are rooted in the Essential Self of the Unlimited One, *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He, just as the Lights are rooted in His Essential Self.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:44
[The Gate of Unity 29:44](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:44)

בשקול וכח ומקור אחד ממש, שהוא בחינת אין סוף ממש

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
These [two powers] are equally balanced, and literally have a single source, this [source being] the aspect of *Ein Sof -* The Singular Preexistent Essential and Unlimited Being of *HaShem*-יהו״ה Himself, literally.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:45
[The Gate of Unity 29:45](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:45)

דכמו שאור אין סוף למטה עד כו', כך למעלה כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because just as the Limitless Light of the Unlimited One spreads down [without limit], so too it [exists above] without end.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:46
[The Gate of Unity 29:46](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:46)

שהן חסד וגבורה שבעצמות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
These [two powers, that is, the limitless ability to reveal and the limitless ability to restrain revelation] are *Chessed* and *Gevurah* of *Atzmoot –* Kindness and Sternness of the Essential Self of the Unlimited One, *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:47
[The Gate of Unity 29:47](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:47)

ואמנם באורות וכלים בשרשן נהפוך הוא מבבחינת גילויין

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, regarding the Lights and Vessels [as they are] in their source, it is the reverse of [how they are] in their revealed aspect.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:48
[The Gate of Unity 29:48](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:48)

דבגלויין הרי בחינת צמצום באורות וחסדים בהתפשטות בכלים

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because as they are revealed, the aspect of restraint - *Tzimtzum* is in the Lights, and the kindnesses of spreading forth, is in the Vessels.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:49
[The Gate of Unity 29:49](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:49)

דגם שהן מגבילים, הרי על ידם כל התפשטות למטה דוקא

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because even though the [Vessels] limit [the Lights, nonetheless,] all spreading down [of influence] comes about specifically through them.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:50
[The Gate of Unity 29:50](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:50)

ובשרשם להיפוך

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, in their source, the opposite is true.


###### The Gate of Unity 29:51
[The Gate of Unity 29:51](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/29:51)

דהצמצום ברשימו העושה הגבול בכח כו', והחסדים בהתפשטות הוא לאורות, שהוא מבחינת הקו כו' כמו שכתוב במקום אחר ודי למבין:

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The restraint-*Tzimtzum* is in the *Reshimu-*Impression, which makes potential limitation, while the spreading forth of kindnesses-*Chassadim* is in the lights, which comes about from the aspect of the *Kav-*Line. This is explained elsewhere, and will suffice for those of understanding.
