The Ksav Sofer compares us to climbing a ladder as Yaakov Avinu’s dream having the potential to shteig, elevate from the ground to the heavens being below or above the malachim. I think the above from Yserbus123 means that the importance is the effort one dispenses to elevate oneself. Do this elevation stepwise otherwise you falter as the Chasam Sofer above.
