Four WorldsTeachingp. 60.22
Atah as I-Thou
Atah as a koan, with Buber's I-Thou framed by the masculine and feminine forms of You and Blessed.
Reb David’s words, typed
Although this last interpretation, emerging from Habad Hassisic thought is in confluence with the Hassidic map of the B'rakha, the word atah is one of the greatest koans (contemplation object to open the self to different ways of consciousness) .

I-THOU
The primary word
I-THOU
can be spoken only
with the whole being.
Concentration and fusion
into the whole being
can never take place through
my agency alone
nor can it ever take place
without me.
I become
through my relation
to the Thou;
as I become I, I say THOU.
All real living
is meeting.
