Why on Passover do we drink specifically four cups and not just one big cup? Because a true Exodus doesn't happen in a single moment, it's a process. Even the Exodus from Egypt didn't happen all at once, it came in stages, step by step. At first, a person only realizes that they're not in a good place, then they want to leave, then they begin to break free, and only at the end do they truly become free. And that's why we don't drink just one cup, because there isn't just one Exodus. There is a process. Each cup is a level, another stage that opens up, another part that breaks free, and the wine symbolizes revelation, something internal coming out. So, each cup reveals something more within you, more freedom, more understanding, more liberation. Each cup is not just a drink, it's a transition from one state to another. Wine is connected to what is revealed from within, things that were closed off and now come out. That's why we don't drink it all at once, because you can't change all at once. And true freedom doesn't start from the outside, it starts from within, and as we know, it takes time. Step-by-step, another layer is shed, another fear is released, another dependency disappears, until you reach a state where the person is no longer controlled by what they once were. True freedom doesn't come in a single moment, it is built slowly until you truly become free.
