• In Kabalat Shabbat we say: Gam B'Simcha Uv'Tzahala. (p. 132).

The soul-aspect of Yechida emerges through the Avoda of being tested. As is written (in the Hosha'anot service, p. 327):

"She clings and cleaves to you" - the binding of the soul to G-d. This leads to...

" She bears your yoke," observing Torah and mitzvot with self-sacrifice; and then...

"She, the One People (Yechida), affirms Your Oneness" - Yechida of the soul is revealed.

Through this revelation the Yechida of the animal soul is transformed into G-dliness. [1]

This finds expression in the intensity with which one fulfills Torah and mitzvot, with an inner enthusiasm, with a sense of great delight and tremendous pleasure in serving G-d.

(To a person on that lofty level) there is total equanimity to all worldy matters; "yes" and "no" have become absolutely equal to him, for he is now divested of the sense of delight in and appetite for material things.

   

Notes:

1. (Back to text) The animal soul is not comitted to evil, or even to self-indulgence. Its primary desire is pleasure; but its concept of pleasure can be modified, so that it need not seek physical delights.
