The soul fills the body, as God fills the world.The soul bears the body,  as God bears the world. The soul outlasts the body, as God outlasts the world.The soul is one in the body, as God is  one in the world.The soul sees and is not seen, as God sees and is not seen. The soul is pure in the body, even as God is pure in the world.

Rabbi Simeon Ben Pazi, the Talmud
