The Rebbe explains the way the service is for the Godly soul... and this is expressed by the verse, 'God is one'. The verse is saying, that the world does not affect in any way the Godly unity.

And this is due to the true essential nature of Godliness. Thus the contraction has no effect on it.

There is no place where it is not true. Godliness is exactly the same as it was before creation... all is considered as non-existent.

The whole world is included in Godliness and based on Godliness.

The Godly soul senses this unity – that Godliness cannot be displaced. By contrast the animal soul does not relate to this sense at all.

So the avodah/work of the animal soul is to eliminate any obstacles to recognition of the Godly presence and to allow the Godly presence to be revealed in the world.

You may know there is a world due to your experience and encounter of it... so what's wrong with that? The problem is that it just happens to be there. It is not real knowledge. What it is there and what it represents is the real knowledge and perspective.

Godly means, 'I know it due to its significance'. The animal soul does not have this kind of sensitivity...

The animal soul relates to the world via its experiences...
