Level 1
We, as human beings, are a composite of body and soul. Thus, all we are involved with contains both elements of body and soul, that cry out to be elevated to be more than just material and the spiritual. The two, cry out to become united as “one” like our Creator. The fact that we are created in the image of our Creator when we are generally content to live ordinary lives leaves a lot to be desired. Where routine activities are mostly motivated by material or physical gain, the "soul" is involved with all these every day transactions and calls out for some sort of recognition.
It is our soul that calls for the infusion of daily affairs with an awareness of greater objectives and higher purposes than simply ordinary living. The giving of charity, and the education of our children, helping the sick, these are the spiritual incentives that ought to motivate one in his daily activities. The achievement of harmony between one's soul and one's material life, is an enhancement of the Image. The achievement of harmony between materialism and spirituality is the same as harmony between the now and the world to come.
