== Bitul Hayesh == Bitul hayesh is the nullification of creation to the Creator, to the extent of transforming one's personal will to be aligned with Hashem's will, in a way that the one nullifying has no will of their own. An example of this is the Avos' bitul to Hashem, where the essence of this nullification is like a chariot to its rider, where it's clearly visible that the chariot has no personal opinion and is completely subordinate to the rider's will. Similarly, Avraham Avinu said about himself "I am dust and ashes," indicating bitul hayesh - "may my soul be like dust to all" - like dust that everyone treads upon, though there remains some existence that nullifies itself to Hashem - "there is one who is nullified."
