Description

Sixth Perek, Torah 4 & 5. We should always be lifting ourselves to higher ideals and adjusting our life to live according to those higher ideals. Through living the Torah, we can be reconnected to our personal Torah. Through learning Torah, the nefesh elokis (G-dly soul) becomes more active and we lose our desire to drown in the body's desires. The essence of something always defeats the incidental. No matter what you learn in Torah, it will bring you back to your atzmius (essence). The nigleh (revealed aspects of Torah) burns away the outside impurities while the nistar (concealed aspects of Torah) quenches the inner thirst.
