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

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful post, thank you. TC
ReplyDeleteIs that essense the same as "subject" or "essence" as used by Rabbi Shimon Kessin?
ReplyDeleteDepends what he was saying at the time, what the context was. You can use the word essence in many different scenarios.
