== In Divine Service == Deveikut's essence is spiritual closeness to God that comes from the feeling of love. This is the matter of the sacrifice - Korbon which comes from the word for attachment, and on this it is brought that the angel Michael is also called by the name High Priest, who offers souls upon the altar, offering them in the attachment of love that he influences in them. More specifically, there are two aspects of High Priest: The first is Michael, whose matter is eternal love drawn from the aspect of kindness to Abraham, and the second higher one is the aspect of Aaron the High Priest whose matter is great love drawn from Aaron's beard that descends upon his attributes. The main love is the attachment of spirit to spirit, as it is written "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth" etc. as is known. And on this it is said "with all your soul," which are all parts of the soul, intellect and emotions and their garments of thought, speech and action, that a person must attach all of them to the Blessed One, meaning the emotions to His blessed emotions - as He is merciful etc. And the intellect to His blessed intellect and wisdom which is the study of Torah for Torah emerges from wisdom. And so too thought to His blessed thought and speech to the word of God which is law, and as it is written "And I put My words in your mouth and My words which I have put in your mouth." And action is the act of charity to revive the spirit of the lowly, as it is written "For six days God made" etc. as is known elsewhere. And this is the attachment of spirit to spirit in the ultimate attachment and unity, when it is from love.
