Questions for today:
we learned the value of welcoming the Creator to the lowest aspects of ourselves. However, how is there an up or down by an infinite creator?
In the last chapter, we learned that our physical selves have the privilege - and the thrill - to be the Creator’s home.
In fact, studying Torah is not the ultimate way we create a home for the Creator, even though through Torah study, we unite with Him.
With Torah study we connect spiritually, using our thought and speech. When we do acts of kindness or other G-dly acts, we welcome the Creator into our lowest level, action.
But why do we need to welcome the Creator into the lowest level? We will answer that question tomorrow.
But first, how is it possible for there to be an up and down in an undivided creator? Obviously, the Creator is singular and not divided at all.
By hiding Himself, The Creator creates a perspective of a divided world.
Therefore, whenever we have more awareness of, and more humility to the Creator, that's up. Whenever we have less awareness of and Humility to the Creator, that's down.
So this world, with zero awareness of the Creator, in which people feel that they are self-existing and are opposed to the Creator, is the lowest of the low.
092 Adar 21 ~ M107 Tanya Adar II, 7
Tanya book 1, ch 36, Pt 1
Because the division of the world is created through God's hiding, any environment with Divine awareness is inherently "up", and any environment where G-dliness is hidden is inherently "down"
