However, the true depth of the Musag is called Sha'ar HaNun (the Fiftieth Gate) of Binah (which), even though it is brought down from the Ein (nothing) of Chochmah into the Yesh (something) (of Binah when one by repetitive Iyun study, i.e. Hisbonenus, brings the concept into his mind in a way it can be grasped), nonetheless ***
[As it is written "A spring comes out from under the Holy of Holies, its beginning is thin like the horns of grasshoppers etc." and the like]
***nonetheless the root of it (Sha'ar HaNun) reaches until the depth of Chochmah as is explained above.
As we see in actuality that anyone who delves deeply just into the depth of the Musag (of Binah) will eventually discover the root and source of the Muskal (the pure intellectual idea of Chochmah) and will be able to discover new aspects of the light of Chochmah and bring them into Binah (felt, graspable Understanding).
And this is what is called a deep delver (lit. a deepener) because he deepens the depths of Chochmah and Binah.
Altough the Hisbonenus is on the explanation and the depth which it reaches is the depth of the explanation which is its point, that is just the first depth. If one continues the Hisbonenus of Binah the Shaar Hanun reaches into the flash of Chochmah and then into the depths of Chocmah in Chochma Stima'a (the Hidden Chochma) of Arich (the external Kesser), then up to Binah of Attik (The Internal Kesser), and all the way into Daas of Radl'a (Reisha Delo Issyadah - The unknowable Mind - the inner Kesser of Attik).
However there is a a special benefit of Shaar HaNun. And that is that it grasps all these levels in a way of a Yesh, something. And when one grasps in a way of somethingness then one can bring it into an explanation of words.
