Kabbalah sa Mga Awit 103:1: Sha'arei Orah

Our rabbis, of blessed memory, found it necessary to awaken us to this, and therefore informed us of a very important principle when they said,⁸Talmud Berachot 58a “The earthly kingdom is similar to the heavenly kingdom.” That is, if it is necessary to be careful about all the above matters when entering into the presence of an earthly king of flesh and blood, how much more is this so of a person who enters to greet the face of the King, King of kings, the Holy One, blessed is He, He Who is blessed and exalted.

This matter depends on the secret of אי"ק בכ"ר-1,10, 100 – 2, 20, 200 etc., which is the secret of Kohen, Levi, Israel-כהן לוי ישראל and is the secret of the three levels of the soul, nefesh-נפש, ruach-רוח, neshamah-נשמה. According to this principle, King David, peace be upon him, said,³⁹Psalms 103:1 “My soul, bless HaShem-יהו"ה.” Through the secret of the three upper orders, he stated that the blessing is dependent on the soul. That is, the nefesh-נפש level of the soul, which corresponds to Israel, must make one-hundred blessings every day. Then, ten of the one-hundred, which is a tithe, reach the ruach-רוח level of the soul that corresponds to Levi. Then, from the ten that are for Levi, one is given to the neshamah-נשמה level of the soul, which corresponds to the Kohen.
