Get your tickets for the party of the year: the White Party - presented by Loewy Law Firm August 25th

In the non-physical world of emotions, ideas, and the soul, many things can overlap in time and space.

But a physical world is a place where each thing says, “In my space, nothing else can be.”

A human being becomes a physical object when they don’t allow the spiritual light of their soul to shine. So they say, “You are taking up my space.”

How large is the space of a human being? As much as they can grab and more.

But when a human being rises a little higher, a little more spiritual, a little more sensitive to a world beyond, then one can say, “Let’s share this space. There’s room here for all of us.”

(Kuntres Hechaltzu as adapted by Tzvi Freeman for Chabad.org)
