God's Portion: His People
The Baal Shem Tov taught: ''The quality of essence is such that as soon as one grasps a tiny part of the essence, one grasps the whole of it.''
Thus it follows, that since all Jews [''His people''] have a Godly soul which is ''literally a portion of God above'' [Tanya Ch.2] - ''God's portion'' - then even when that soul undergoes the long journey downwards to this world, it remains inseparably bound with the Essence of God. [See Ha'azinu 32:9]
Based on Sefer Hama'amarim 5735 p.243 Lubavitcher Rebbe
The necessity of cleaving to our pure soul is the essence of Teshuvah. If not to what are we returning?
