Things Aren't Always As They Look On The Surface

The sfarim teach us that when it says מלך in the megilla, it refers to the King of the world. That means that a secular word has a deeper, holy meaning.


The gemara relates that the Jews didn't want Purim to be a day of forbidden labor. This is because Purim is a day that should look secular on the surface but on a deeper level it is holy.


According to this line of thought we can say that on Purim a person looks on the surface as if he has no daas but on a deeper level he is FILLED with daas.


[Sefer Zikaron of Maran Baal HaPachad Yitzchak Page 100 - See there how he said it beautifully in Yiddish].


On Purim we read מגילת אסתר and we [literally] reveal the hidden [מגלה ההסתר] and perceive that things aren't as they appear on the surface.
