Pasook 55. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha HaAzinu

חוֹטָמָא, בְּהַאי חוֹטָמָא, בְּנוּקְבָּא דְּפַרְדַּשְׁקָא דְּבֵיהּ, נָשִׁיב רוּחָא דְּחַיֵּי לִזְעֵיר אַפִּין. וּבְהַאי חוֹטָמָא, בְּנוּקְבָּא דְּפַרְדַּשְׁקָא, תַּלְיָיא ה', לְקַיְּימָא ה' אַחֲרָא דִּלְתַתָּא. וְדָא רוּחָא נָפִיק מִמּוֹחָא סְתִימָאָה, וְאִקְרֵי רוּחָא דְּחַיֵּי. וּבְהַאי רוּחָא, זְמִינִין לְמִנְדַּע חָכְמְתָא, בְּזִמְנָא דְּמַלְכָּא מְשִׁיחָא. דִּכְתִּיב, וְנָחָה עָלָיו רוּחַ יְיָ' רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה וְגוֹ'. הַאי חוֹטָמָא, חַיִּין מִכָּל סִטְרִין, חֵדוּ שְׁלֵימָא. נַחַת רוּחַ. אַסְוָותָא. בְּחוֹטָמָא דִּזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין כְּתִיב, עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ וְגוֹ'. וְהָכָא כְּתִיב וּתְהִלָּתִי אֶחֱטָם לָךְ.

Translation

The nose OF ARICH ANPIN: in this nose, within the window of its nostril the spirit (or: 'wind') of life blows on Zeir Anpin. Inside this nose, in the window of the nostril, Hei comes out to support another, lower Hei. This wind comes out from the concealed brain and is called the spirit of life. By means of that spirit people will gain wisdom during the time of King Messiah, as written, "and the spirit of Hashem shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding" (Yeshayah 11:2). This nose is life from every aspect, complete joy, satisfaction and healing. Of the nose of Zeir Anpin it is written, "There went up a smoke out of His nostrils" (II Shmuel 22:9). Here it is written, "and for My praise will I refrain (or: 'nose') for you" (Yeshayah 48:9).

chanoch's Commentary

This pasuk is telling us about the spiritual aspect of smell. Yet it describes what is expelled from the nose not what is received by the nose.

וּבְסִפְרָא דְּאַגַּדְתָּא, דְּבֵי רַב יֵיבָא סָבָא, אוֹקִים, ה' בְּפוּמָא, וְהָכָא לָא מִתְקַיְּימָא הָכִי, וְלָא אִצְטָרְפָא, אע"ג דִּבְחַד סַלְּקָא, אֶלָּא בְּהֵ' דִּינָא תַּלְיָא, וְדִינָא בְּחוֹטָמָא תַּלְיָא, דִּכְתִּיב עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ. וְאִי תֵּימָא, הָא כְּתִיב וְאֵשׁ מִפִּיו תֺּאכֵל. עִקָּרָא דְּרוּגְזָא בְּחוֹטָמָא תַּלְיָא.

Translation

In the Agadah book of the academy OF STUDY of Rav Yeba Saba, he interpreted the Hei AS MALCHUT THAT RECEIVES from the mouth OF ARICH ANPIN. But here, IN THIS MATTER, it does not work that way, and MALCHUT does not connect WITH THE MOUTH OF ARICH ANPIN, BUT WITH THE LEFT NOSTRIL OF THE NOSE. And even though it has the same meaning, many Judgments derive from Hei, while Judgment derives from the nose, as written, "There went up a smoke out of his nostrils." You may say it is written, "and fire out of His mouth" (II Shmuel 22:9), SO THERE ARE JUDGMENTS IN THE MOUTH AS WELL, TO WHICH HE ANSWERS, anger comes mainly from the nose.

chanoch's Commentary

Have you ever wondered why the Eustacian tubes connect the mouth the nose and the ears? This is the essence of this pasuk. Anger comes from the left side of Zeir Anpin. This is why it is so difficult to control. Yet it is well worth the effort.
