שלום וברכה!

[שלהי אלול תשי"ח]

...במש"כ איך שייך "עול" בהנוגע למלאכים עשית ענין היפך השכל והבנתו של נברא זה - ה"ז אפשרי רק מצד קבלת עול שלו. והרי גם מלאכים אין משיגים כ"א הדרגא עילתם ולא למעלה מזה (עיין הל' יסוה"ת פ"ב ה"ח. פ"ג ה"ט). וראה ג"כ סנה' קי, סע"א ובכ"מ.

מכתי"ק, בשולי ארת מו,ה יוסף ד. רוזנשטיין, מט"ו אלול תשח"י.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

Regarding what you wrote about how the concept of "yoke" applies to angels: Performing something contrary to the intellect and understanding of a created being is possible only due to its acceptance of the yoke. Even angels can only comprehend their own level and not above it (see Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah chapter 2 halachah 8, chapter 3 halachah 9). See also Sanhedrin 110a and elsewhere.


Summary

The letter teaches that even spiritual beings like angels act beyond their understanding through accepting the yoke, emphasizing the importance of submission and humility in serving G‑d.
