Hashm let Shechina speak through him and eliminate his power.<br>\nBecause of that reason, the sages taught us different blessings for everything that we do, receive, consume, etc. The blessing elevates the connection to our action and guarantees that we draw the Light from the food and or the action.<br>\nWhen we do not know the actual blessing then we just have the consciousness that everything is given to us from God. On the other hand we should not make blessings for no reason or repeat blessings on something that we already made a connection to. It is good to learn the different blessings of food.
