Instead, it celebrates interaction with the physical as a possible and even ideal mode of divine service. Elaborating on this point, Chasidus, in its unique way, teaches a person hwo to live in a state of inner peace -- how to make peace in his relationship with G-d, and how to make peace with the world around him. Chasidus guides a person to be in control of his world and not to be tempted by his desires, and to devote all of his energies toward serving G-d -- without negating all of the basic obligations to the physical body and to others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present Chasidic discourse speaks of the great transformation that a person can bring about by way of his interactions with the physical; how mortal man can unleash tremendous divine energy through a seemingly simple and mundane activity such as eating, drinking, and business dealings, so that these can be carried out truly for the sake of Heaven.","brand":"Kehot Publication Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075142729968,"sku":"2940157209650","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157209650_p0.jpg?v=1764092639","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157209650","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
