I read something interesting over the past several days in Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto's "Da'at T'Vunot" ("The Knowing Heart"):
Briefly explained, he teaches that the body is a product of the Creator hiding His face. The soul is a product of the Creator revealing His face. Therefore, when a person allows his/her bodily drives to dominate, s/he draws to himself or herself the Creator's hiddeness. This can make life difficult.
However, when s/he allows the soul to dominate the body, s/he draws to himself or herself the Creator's revelation. This means that the Creator appears to be more openly responsive to what is occurring in a person's life. This can make life a lot easier.
Therefore, how a person is oriented (spiritually or physically) can strongly impact on the flow of his/her life.
Any comments or thoughts?
