 The practitioner's success in detaching from his sense of person, and conceive himself as "Ein" (in the double meaning of 'naught' and 'infinite'), is regarded as the highest state of elation in Hasidism.The true divine essence of man – the soul – may then ascend and return to the upper realm, where it does not possess an existence independent from God.This ideal is termed "Hitpashtut ha-Gashmi'yut", "the expansion (or removal) of corporeality".
