The revelation of the soul is volitional.
Yet, still it is effortless.
From the perspective of the soul it is effortless, yet it gives into a divine environment.If there is an absence of divine meaning, it will not reveal its light.
This is just like man in general.He needs a fundamental reality in which to live and thrive.He builds a house on earth among people - not on Mars.He needs the Godly truth in order to function.
If that truth is missing, he cannot function.
Man requires and seeks a divine significance in his activities.

The sun is not as it appears to be.
It continues to burn, undiminished for 1000’s of years.
It is not a ball of fire.It is an essence of brightness.This is what He created.It has a true presence in the world.It has a stake in the world in a certain sense, although it is inanimate.
Genesis 1:14 And God said, "Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to separate between the day and between the night, and they shall be for signs and for appointed seasons and for days and years.
and verse 15
And they shall be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to shed light upon the earth." And it was so.
Rashi: And they shall be for luminaries: In addition, they will serve in this function, viz. to shed light upon the world.
ie The sun will primarily“separate between the day and between the night, and they shall be for signs and for appointed seasons and for days and years.”The sun is defining what the world is.And along with that brings brightness - the brightness is almost secondary.

The soul gives life to the body directly and effortlessly.In the present of the soul, the body comes to life.
On the level of the specific functions of the body - sight and mind etc -both the soul and the body have to have proper preparation so they will fit together.
The soul gives life like light [not like flow].The divine element is life, not existence.

Sechel/mind is rooted in soul, not in worldly experience.
It enters the body in a state unlike the way it is in the soul.
And the body/brain has to be refined enough to receive the sechel/mind.
The brain has to dissociate from the physical and perceived reality from a living perspective.It rises above the body perspective to the soul perspective.
The sechel/mind reveals how the soul thinks of things.
God blew into your nostrils a breath of life - the soul was inserted via a conduit, so that you should be aware that he has been given something.
You do feel the soul coming into the body.You do not feel the way the soul reduces the mind/sechel so it will fit the brain.

Light comes effortlessly from the soul and enlivens the body.It is a gift from the essence.The soul gives a quality of its own to the body.
There’s another phase to this - faculties imbued into particular organs [which serve as vessels]. For example the faculty of sight imbued into the eye.
This is called a real inner light [ohr pnimi mamash] - a response to the organ itself.
When sechel/mind dawns on one, he realizes: “there’s something beyond myself and my needs and experiences.” This is like the experience of sight - ‘it is real, not because i experience it, but since it is real unto itself…’
This requires refinement and work.One needs to step out of one’s own world, and dedicate to what he sees.

The functional faculties of a human being do not manifest automatically or effortlessly.
On the other hand there is an effortlessness overall enlivening of the body.
The body is a Godly vessel that was created to receive the Godly soul.The physical eye evokes the element of sight from the soul.The soul has sight on its own level - this is called chochmah/wisdom.Then it is translated into the physical level when the soul enters the body.

God makes and sustains the world.Every individual lives on the Godly vitality that he receives.Each person has different vitality.What do you relate to when you receive it?
Do you relate to the vitality or to the Giver of your life?
Step above your appreciation and know you have a Creator.
What is life to the human being?The experience of life or the significance of life?
