Description

Page 103. The biggest chizuk (encouragement) - no matter how low the drops of Hashem's "mind" have descended, they are forever, unchangeably connected to the original "essence" of Hashem's mind. G-dliness is found deep inside even the most disconnected Jews. What a person thinks about just before he does. The life force of every Jew is bound to the nefesh, ruach and neshamah (three separate levels of the soul) of the Tzaddik (righteous person and leader) of that generation. When a Jew is healthy and well, he feels Elokus (G-dliness) inside of him. Pages 105/106 contain a summary of the development of the sould from Hashem's "mind" down to us. The deep essential connection between the souls of Jews and the Tzaddikim of the generation.
