There is a 'no' that precedes the 'yes'. There are things that a person wants and in which he delights. And by means of these things he can be drawn...

But when he is in the state of soul supremacy, then these desirable things are of no significance to him. But the thing that is opposite to his will does still concern him.

Soul supremacy is completely different from arrogance. Arrogance: the Alte Rebbe explains in Tanya that there is a big difference between sadness and bitterness. They seem identical, but there is a fundamental difference. In sadness the person is unresponsive since his senses are not functioning. In bitterness the person is very sensitive and responsive over the fact that 'things are not how they should be'. So too there is a fundamental difference between holiness and klipah.

In arrogance a person has eliminated sensitivity to human values. He is 'unbothered' by human values. This is not representative of supremacy – the opposite – it is lowliness.

A state of soul elevation/supremacy (romemus ha nefesh) is due to a conizanse of the soul and what it represents.

And when a man rises into this level you can hardly reach him. He is in the truth of the soul itself. He is above worldly experience. He is not thinking in terms of things that can be described in time and space...

There is an emunah/faith level that is not 'time and space' dependant.

Even the animal soul (after its purification) can recognize the truth element.

By eliminating what the man in an elevated stance does not want (in contrast to what he might have desired), his attention is aroused.

Marriage is not about experience. It touches the essence of the person. It is hard to get a young man to understand this. But if you challenge him to imagine never getting married, then it opens a disscussion and provides accsess to the soul element... this is an example of the 'no' preceding the 'yes'.

The power of the name...

In everything there is how this thing pertains to itself and how it represents itself. This representation is really a secondary element in this presence – that it can be viewed from outside and that it represents itself. There is a deep element - you would think that we can represent ourselves any way we want – this is politics, but this is a perversion. Really there is an essential element in a person to represent himself. This is the power of a name – it is an external thing, but at the same time it touches his essence. A person has a body and soul – the purpose of the soul in the body is not for itself, but to express itself outside...! ~ Shiur Sunday 8.22.2010

Light Power

All that came into being...

...all the created worlds and all the ethereal entities that live in them, even the worlds that are mere emanations without tangible substance, even the worlds of thought and beyond to the realms of infinite light that preceded Creation...

--all this came to be only as a result of the thought of you, the earthly being, struggling in a world that only a infinitesimal glimmer of G-dliness has reached in its purity, bringing light where light could not be.

And so it follows, that with one simple act of beauty, all those worlds and realms of light find their purpose fulfilled, and so shine yet brighter--and reciprocate with a burst of illumination into our lowly world.

That is why the entire creation can be transformed with one simple, sincere deed.

Never underestimate the power of light.

In the world - Beyond the world - Exodus - Shattering and Refinement

Hayom Yom (25 Tevet):

"From my father's discourses we see that Exodus from Egypt means leaving limitations and bounds, and Chassidus is to enable man to leave the restrictions of the material world.

There is a difference: The Egyptian Exodus means shattering and then departure. We went away from Egypt.

The Chassidic Exodus means purification and correction, stepping out of worldly limitations and bounds while remaining in the the world.

This means, that while functioning within the world we must transcend its limitations. We are to remove the limitations and bounds, and perceive the truth - that the world per se is truly good, since, after all, the natural world is what G-d intended.

This is attained through the Avoda (work) of Chassidus."

Notes: When society and environment ("world" in chassidic usage) conflict with Torah, there may be a reaction of withdrawal from "world" and its affairs. Extreme monastic withdrawal is rejected by Torah.
Chassidus advocates being "within world," involvement in the normal routines of family and occupation for example, but refusing subservience to the values and principles of "world."

The Jew's values are to be Torah's while he functions in the marketplace or laboratory. He utilizes the opportunities and challenges of "world" to subordinate and use worldly affairs for Torah ideals, values and goals.

He will do this intellectually when confronting concepts that appear not to be consonant with Torah, and also by observing Mitzvot in inhospitable circumstances.

While functioning in this environment he is apart from it, refusing to be dominated or intimidated by it.
