Donate3. Torah learning draws the Divine presence onto one’s G-dly soul:
- The thought and speech of the G-dly soul are incorporated within G-d: When a person learns the Torah of Hashem, then his soul, which refers to his G-dly soul together with only the two inner garments, which are speech and thought, are incorporated within the infinite light of G-d, and unite with it in a complete unity.
- The Divine presence rests on the person when he learns Torah: This experience that occurs upon studying Torah is the residing of the Divine presence upon one’s G-dly soul, as the sages state that if even one person sits and learns Torah the Divine presence is with him. [Thus, we see that the learning of Torah is one of the ways of fueling the Divine presence to remain residing on one’s G-dly soul.]
4. The Mitzvah’s draw the Divine presence onto one’s body and animal soul:
- The study of Torah only draws the Divine presence onto the G-dly soul, however, to draw down the Divine light and revelation of the Divine presence also onto the body and animal soul which is actually invested within the body to enliven it, one needs to fulfill the practical Mitzvah’s which are done with the physical body.
- The reason it has this effect: During the fulfillment of a Mitzvah, the energy of the body is involved in the action which causes it to be incorporated within the light of G-d and His will, and it thus becomes united with G-d in a complete unity.
- The third garment of the G-dly soul: This is the third garment of the G-dly soul [which becomes incorporated within G-d through the fulfillment of the physical Mitzvahs.]
5. Uniting the animal soul with G-d just like the G-dly soul:
- When one fulfills the physical commands, then also the animal soul that is in the actual body which comes from Kelipas Nogah becomes transformed from evil to good and becomes incorporated in actual holiness, just like the G-dly soul itself, being that it is the animal soul that is doing the action of the Mitzvah.
6. The G-dly soul alone cannot affect the Divine presence to rest on the body:
- Without the animal soul, the G-dly soul would be completely ineffective of doing anything to the body or with the body, being that it is spiritual while the body is physical and corporeal.
- Animal soul is medium to connect the G-dly soul to the body: The animal soul which enlivens the body and is invested within the blood of the person and within his body, serves as the medium to connect the G-dly soul to the body and allow it to affect the body.
