p 205. Our connection to Torah comes through the levushim (clothing) of Torah. While we want out of this world, we also want to be here to do mitzvos. Nadav and Avihu tried to grab Hashem without the levushim and ended up with nothing. A person who is trying to gain financially from Torah is liable to the death penalty. The world of neshamos (souls) is called guf (body). Fire is the most spiritual of all of the four elements, and the only one we have to keep a distance from. All avodah zara (idolatry) comes from attempting to serve Hashem from how we feel.
