The Rebbe is explaining the meditation of the animal soul as it focuses on the Godliness that is in everything.

What does it mean the essence is Godliness? Godliness means the absolute truth. The element that does not have to be introduced. This is what makes it worthy of attention. Why not just enjoy his own experience? That's because he is a soul with sechel/mind and thus he seeks reality.


That's the only thing that interests the soul.


He begins to identify the Godliness in every element he encounters in the world.

He draws close to the Godly light and dissociates from the physicality of the world. Till he doesn't seek anything physical – his entire will is towards Godliness. He desires the revelation of Godliness in the world and within himself.

Till he is involved with the world, but for a Godly purpose.

This is 'unnatural' for the animal soul. He says, 'to heck with my feelings, I want to find the truth...' And he is not coerced... he makes his own way.
