„Just as physical eating arouses thirst, so engagement in practical Torah arouses all the more a thirst for the sublime matters.”From Shemonah Kevatzim II, 345

The need for constant balance — between food and drink, between the material, practical nourishment in Torah and the spiritual and soul-related needs. And when there is attentiveness to the balances and needs, the world is built up and elevated.
