Description

G-dliness is also to be found in this world, not just the upper worlds. Avraham's chiddush (new perception) was that there is only G-dliness. Those immersed in lusts attempt to define G-d as separate from this world in order to justify their choices. Even the essence of the body is not openly perceivable. If we do not live in coordination with our essence, our lives will be hard. Children have a natural love for their parents. "I love you" usually means I love myself. From the point of view of the body, Jews all seem separate, but we are not. A tzaddik (righteous person) is at home anywhere in the world. Our nails are both us and separate from us.
