Likutei Moharan 25:3/ליקוטי מוהר"ן כ״ה:ג׳

13. And know! no two people are alike. This is because all souls are on different levels. One enclothes the other, with the inner aspect of the lower one becoming a cloak for the outer aspect of the upper one.

2Therefore, when a person wants to ascend from his level to a higher level, then the person on the higher level goes and moves on to a still higher level. This is because it is impossible for two people to be on the same level. But only the inner aspect of the upper man moves on. The outer aspect remains <there>. Likewise, <from the man> on the lower level, only the inner aspect moves on and ascends. The inner aspect of the lower one becomes the outer aspect to the outer aspect of the upper one.

3And though the husk on the higher level has already been broken by the upper man, nevertheless, when the inner aspect of the upper one moves on from there and the <inner aspect> of the lower one ascends, the evil force is then reawakened. This is because it is only subdued before the light of the inner aspect of the upper one. But before the lower one, even before his inner aspect, it has the power to rise up against him. Because of this, he has to break it and subdue it anew.

4Now, the inner aspect and the outer aspect are two types of devotions. The devotion of Torah study, prayer and mitzvot are the inner aspect; the devotion of eating, drinking and other physical needs are the outer aspect. And the outer devotion—namely, eating and drinking—of a person located on a higher level radiates more and is more laudable than the inner devotion—namely, Torah, prayer <and mitzvot>—of a person located on the lower level. Because of this, the inner aspect of the lower one becomes a cloak for the outer aspect of the upper one. { “A throne of glory exalted from the beginning is the place of our Temple” (Jeremiah 17:12). }

5This is the explanation of, “A kisay (throne) of glory exalted….” [The word] KiSaY corresponds to the inner aspect, it is linguistically similar to itKaSYa (covered over). “Glory” is the outer aspect and a cloak, as is written (Shabbat 113a), “Rabbi Yochanan called his clothing, ‘My glory.’” [The expression] “exalted from the beginning” refers to the inner aspect becoming the outer aspect, when one is exalted and elevated from the initial level. As a result, “the place of our Temple”—it is necessary to sanctify the place anew. This is because the forces of evil are reawakened, as above.
