“Great, now for step two. Since betten does not mean tefila, then what was the problem the Lubavitcher Rebbe was trying to answer by saying his father-in-law was “Atzmuso uMahuso araingeshtelt in a guf?” (From the context this is clearly particular to him or Tzadikim generally not all Jews, so don’t say he was referring to the fact that every Jew has a chelek eloka mimaal.)”
Exactly our point there is no problem. Except when people like toi twist it out of context to make it into one which no lubavitcher has done because we all understand it like Tanya etc
Exactly again! Every yid is atzmus umehus araingeshtelt in a guf at their core, but they don’t express it all the time becuse their yetzer hara and nefesh habehamis get in the way with other agendas. A tzadik though lives this reality so he is atzmus umehus araingeshtelt in a guf in a revealed way, because he is practically batul not just potentially.
