Still another exegesis of the words: ‎‎נורא תהלות ‏עושה פלא‎, “awesome in splendour performing ‎miracles.” Every activity, project, is propelled by ‎a “cause,” and its successful conclusion is meant to ‎provide the person performing it with some pleasure ‎or satisfaction. The “cause,” though experienced in the ‎material world, originates in the spiritual world, even ‎though it underwent many changes on its path to its ‎eventual destination. Its origin was the ‎אלף‎, also known ‎as ‎אין‎, the “nought,” the domain totally devoid of such ‎concepts as “ego.” Moses refers to this origin as being ‎lofty, far removed from our means of perception, so ‎that it is ‎פלא‎, hidden from the eyes of mortal human ‎beings.‎
