Shemos – Lehavin Mamar Razal Al Ha’Pasuk Ki Tovim Dodecha Mi’Yayin

Torah is compared to wine because like wine it reveals the secret. That is, a irrational love for G-d which is hidden at the core of every soul it can only be revealed when the wine – Torah and Mitzvos – enter. However the  blessing preceding the Mitzvah is higher then the Mitzvah itself, for it draws down an encompassing light upon the soul enabling the Mitzvah to be preformed.
