Description

The first step of avodas Hashem (service of G-d) is developing the awareness that we are neshamos (souls); our bodies are only lent to our neshama (soul) as a tool to serve G-d. In order to prevent ourselves from feeling overly depressed after sinning, we must realize that our sins are only caused by our filthy outer garment. Our neshamas (souls) always remain as pure as ever.
