To quote the Nefish HaChaim in support of “a Rebbe is atzmuso umchuso areingishtelt bguf” is an obscene distortion.
1) In the perek being quoted the Nefish HaChaim compares Yiddin / Tzadikim to the Beis HaMikdash. The dwelling place for Hashems presence. Nobody says that the Beis Hamikdash is “atzmuso u mahuto”.
2) The Nefish HaChaim is very clear that we do not even speak of “atzmuso u mahuto” when speaking about Hashem. All that has ever been taught is regarding how Hashem relates to us and the Midos that he created to relate to us. The Nefish HaChaim teaches that this is true even regarding the Shem HaMiyuchad.
3) The Nefish HaChaim states in no uncertain terms that we are forbidden to relate to the world as everything being Elakus (pantheism). To do so would leave no room for the Torah and Mitvos which are premised on our relating to the world as we are designed to experience and understand it.
