Pages 62-66. To the nations of the world, God appears with certain garments, as a king, a warrior, etc. Therefore they never fully sense Him. However, to Jews, God is like the King in his house. At home, He removes the garments of his kingship and becomes more revealed. His names are God, as it were, with less garments on. He created the world with His names and sustains it constantly with them. Everything receives its strength from His names. His names are filled with His light. Tzaddikim are able to draw more light into the world via the names of God. They study, know and unify the names of God, thus allowing for Him to be revealed. A person must look deeply into the world and try and see this light pulsating everywhere.
