What is our essence? What is our activity in the process that happens to us, in which we participate without understanding what our participation is, and generally, where are we going, where is life leading us? When we look at ourselves, we find that we are very small. When we look at the entire world around us, even our world and our universe, we feel insignificant. But on the other hand, our world is a grain of sand compared to the immense spiritual worlds. And it is said that man is the greatest one, above and beyond all of these worlds, able to devour all of these worlds and expand above all of them. How can this be, if man is so small?
Our spiritual attributes are important rather than our physical attributes. With regard to our physical attributes, of course we cannot compare ourselves to all the huge masses of billions and tons of rock that exist in the Universe, or with Infinite time. But when we compare ourselves in a different plane or dimension, namely in regard to spiritual forces, then naturally we are the biggest and greatest ones in this world. Then we really encompass everything in ourselves, the still, vegetative, animal and speaking nature inside of us and accordingly, we ascend above all of this.
