Rather, a ‘mature’ level of faith and recognition of Hashem is when “he will go in the ways of My Torah”, in a way of going to awaken himself to connect to Hashem from “below to Above”, and then to draw down Hashem’s revelation from “Above to below” into “My Torah”, meaning into the letters of the Torah.
Just as there are letters of the Torah that draw from Above to below by expressing Hashem’s wisdom in a form we can read, so too there are letters of prayer that raise a person from below to Above. Someone who uses both types of letters to go in both directions is called someone who “goes in the way of My Torah”, and he attains a “mature faith” in Hashem.
These two types of letters are referred to metaphorically as “horses”, since horses carry a rider to their destination, and these letters carry Hashem’s revelation to us, and us to Hashem. Specifically, the letters of the Torah that give Hashem’s Light down to us are referred to as “male horses” since male represents the idea of giving, and the letters of prayer that connect us to Hashem are referred to as “female horses” since female represents receiving and connecting to something higher.
Like it says in the Sefer Yetzira regarding the letters of the Alef-Beis, that some letters are “masculine” and some letters are “feminine”, showing that the letters of Torah and prayer have these two tendencies of drawing down from Above and elevating us upwards.
