All Maamarim of Pesach are included here. Acharon Shel Pesach maamarim are not separated.
The two Ayins between Yesh haAmiti and Yesh HaNivra are incredibly different. At the Yam the lower Ayin was revealed. Leasid the higher Ayin will be revealed.
Ma HaAidus 5746.
The Ben Chachom's (wise son's) two questions are 1) Why are we changing from the Avos and focusing pn stead on the physical and ritual part of each Mitzvah, what possible depth can they inspire. 2) [And] if, in fact, the shift has been made to the physical Mitzvos, then all should be equal. Why are there three groups of Mitzvos: Aidus, Chukin and Mishpatim.
Answer to question 1 is: 1) THe suffering in Mitzrayim prequalified physical things to (finally) be elevated. 2) The redemption from Mitzrayim, allowed for all limits to (in theory) be removed. In this case it removed the "Gezeira" [decree and divide], that separated "Elyonim" (heaven) from Tachtonim (earth).
The second class on this Maamar addresses the second question of the Maamar (why are there categories in a Yiddishkeit that all about Kabalas Ol), that the unity within division is far higher than simple unity, where there's only one.
This expresses itself in the fact that all Mitzvos (including Aidus) must be done with Kabalas Ol, and the idea that the intelligent child wishes to understand even the Chukim (that cannot be understood).
The following two Maamarim (are both Muga) and were said (apparently) in conjunction with Acharon Shel Pesach 5746. And are both presented here.
Two opposing approaches to understanding Hashem's purpose in creation: 1) Talmud: that is all about being close. It is the delight of Yiddishkeit. 2) Maase': action that is about distance from Hashem and is special because it is a chidush- novel and unexpected.
The classic interplay of Gan Eden and Olom Haba (Hatechiya) where one is personal (G"A) and individuated and the other is universal (Techiyas HaMeisim) is here complicated.
The miracles of the splitting of the sea as well as the miracle of the future- splitting of "The River" are much more than miracles. They prepare Yidden for Torah on two levels.
