F. The advantage of the prayer of the businessman:

[People tend to mistakenly think that the service of prayer with great feeling of love and passion is only relevant to select Torah scholars and Tzadikim, rabbis and people of the clergy, who spend their day in study of Torah and service of G-d. However, a businessman who works on Wall Street, what to him and to the service of prayer? It’s like wearing a tie to bed over one’s pajamas. In this teaching, the Alter Rebbe comes to negate this grave error of perspective and explains that not only must the businessman also toil in the service of prayer, but on the contrary there is special advantage when he does so over the prayer of the individual who is not involved in the world and dedicates all of his time to spiritual matters.] In general, the advantage of the businessman is that when he deals with the matters of the world to make an income to support his family, he ends up coming across many divine sparks that are found embedded within the physical items of his dealings. Accordingly, it is of even greater importance and necessity for the businessman to invest in his service of prayer and bring himself to a passionate love for G-d, as through doing so, he elevates all of his business to the one G-d and accomplishes a unity of Hashem with His world that cannot be accomplished by the Torah learner. Furthermore, being that he is involved in elevating the sparks, he is able to reach a state of Dveikus to Hashem that is much higher and intense than the Torah learner, being that his prayer comes through the service of Iskafya which elicits a much higher and greater revelation of G-dliness onto his heart. The service of prayer of the businessman contains the advantage of light over darkness, which shines much more than light within light which is synonymous to the prayer of the Torah learner. The businessman can reach the state of Dveikus of Neshikin, kissing G-d during his prayer. It is for this reason that a Jew who is a businessman and supports Torah learners precedes the Torah learner himself, just as Zevulun comes before Yissachar, as his divine service can reach higher than that of the Torah learner.
