If this be the case, with hasidism predicated on the revelation of even the lights within the lowly things, why should the body be ‘left out’³²⁶A reference to Numbers 9:7 and 27:4. of that of the intellect?

This why even the body and emotive faculty (middot) of a person can affect [the higher levels of reality] Above.
