Mitzrayim (Egypt) expresses constriction, limitation. The spiritual Egyptian exile is the animal soul's restricting and concealing the G‑dly soul so severely that the G‑dly soul is compressed to the degree that it is diminished and obscured. "Exodus from Egypt" is the removal of the constriction and bounds; i.e. the intellect in the brain illuminates the heart, bringing about fine character traits translated into actual practice.
Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.
מצרים הוא לשון מיצר וגבול. גלות מצרים ברוחניות הוא מה שנפש הבהמית מגבלת ומסתרת על הנפש האלקית, עד שנפה"א [שנפש האלוקית] מתצמצמת כל כך שנעשה בקטנות והעלם. ויציאת מצרים הוא הסרת המיצר והגבול. והיינו דהשכל שבמוח מאיר בלב במדות טובות בפועל ממש.
