Divine light descends into vessels;
this is how G‑d gives existence to the world.

The vessels conceal the light;
this is how the world conceals His existence.

Positive actions draw down an even loftier light;
this is how His essence is revealed.

Two men who had not seen each other for 30 years meet up:

"My whole life I have worked to be in the limelight, to be a someone, and I have remained ordinary."

Said the other, "I am jealous, my whole life I have tried to be humble, a nobody, and I have not succeeded."

The leap of faith is a total departure of self from physical limitations.
The higher the reach, the greater the impact on return.
