Understand that a disagreement is a kind of creation of the world. For the essence of the creation of the world was that it required an empty space, since without it, everything would be in the infinite presence of God and there wouldn't be any places for the creation of the world. So God pulled the light back to the sides and the empty space was created and in it God created everything---days and measures---using speech. . . . This is similar to disagreement. If the Sages were united, there would be no place for the creation of the world, which happens only through the disagreements between them. They move away from each other, each one pulling back toward a different side.265
