The Rebbe is identifying a new level. He explains that the animal soul is realizing that it is right to want only the level of essence, which is the ultimate reality. And this is in the Godliness of Torah and mitzvoth. How is this different from the Godliness of the world?


The world is manifestly a Godly creation.


The Godliness of Torah and mitzvoth is different. The Godliness of the world enhances and becomes part of the world – to the extent that it is possible to think of the world as a separate entity.

Torah and mitzvoth are when Hashem came down to the world and said, 'I want to be here with you, and that will be possible if you do this and this...'

Torah and mitzvoth cannot be understood from a worldly perspective. They do not enhance the world... they are not for the sake of making the world a better place to live...

So this is the goal of the soul coming down into the world – to purify and perfect the animal soul... So this is not just having the animal soul co-operate, but actually desire service of God...!
