We
said the Godly soul came down below to accomplish 2 things – to
perfect the animal soul, and to bring Godliness below...
The
Godliness here below should be in a state of dirah/dwelling.
This
involves the essence itself being brought into the world (in contrast
to just the Godly light).
The
animal soul relates to this by bitul/humility rather than through its
own faculties.
The
animal soul cannot define and grasp it but says, there is a Godly
presence, and that makes life worthwhile. Life is beyond
understanding. The animal soul does not have the faculties to grasp
this, but says, this is worthy! It identifies truth beyond its
experience. It only gets there through bitul/humility.
And
it says, 'that which I don't understand is what I want to dedicate my
life to...'
Initially
the animal soul is focused on its own experiences and
accomplishments.
But
in truth the spirit of a thing informs its form.
