p 200. Everything is in the Torah. The same way that we judge people from their externals, so too do we judge the Torah. The Torah has a body and soul. The moth of Tishrei is the creation of the hidden world. The month of Nisan is the revealed world. The neshamos (souls) of Jews are from under the Kisei HaKavod (Throne of Glory). Each of us has a name of kedusha (holiness) and a name of tumah (impurity). A candle has two aspects: the flame and the light. How is it possible to be paid back physically for doing a mitzvah that is infinite? The true reward for a mitzvah is only in Olam HaBa (the World to Come). Some mitzvos have a payback in this world.
