Samach Vav: Acharei Havayah, Part 10

The Neshamah of the Eved Pashut is rooted in a very low level of Seder Hishtalshelus. He has no spiritual gifts, nor assistance from Above (in the form of Giluyim), and therefore his Avoda is exclusively one of absolute Bittul, devoid of knowledge or love. His Avoda does, however, depend upon his willing acceptance of the King, indicating an awareness of the King’s exalted state. Moreover, paradoxically, the stature of the King, as a King, depends upon the Bittul of the Eved.
