Kabbalah texts extensively deal with arranging concepts and clarifying their levels in relation to the order of Hishtalshelus, according to the order of worlds and the level of Divine illumination within them, establishing precise rules regarding the different levels. The approach of Chassidus differs in that it deals with the fundamental and essential explanation of each aspect and level, without focusing on the reality of the level in relation to the general hierarchy of levels. This is because Chassidus deals with the essence of things, not their externality, and from the perspective of essence, there aren't such significant differences between the various levels. | Kabbalah texts extensively deal with arranging concepts and clarifying their levels in relation to the order of Hishtalshelus, according to the order of worlds and the level of Divine illumination within them, establishing precise rules regarding the different levels.
