In order to differentiate between the impure and the pure and between the creature that may be eaten and the one which shall not be eaten. Nevertheless, a question remains to be answered. Parallel to these are four levels of Avodas Hashem . The first level, which is the foundation of all Avodas Hashem correlates to the inanimate , is emunah peshuta , pure and simple faith . Shlomo HaMelech alludes to this fact.
Generations come and generation go, but the earth abides forever.
A Jew may progress from level to level, but must never leave his emunah peshuta behind. It is constant as is the earth, even as one is spiritually upwardly mobile. Every level after this is included in m'daber , speaking and reasoning. This is when a Jew is able to consciously work at his Avodah , choosing and developing positive qualities, and rejecting the negative. Whenever man interacts with any of these aspects of creation, he has the opportunity and the responsibility to elevate and restore the sparks contained within to their rightful place in unity with Hashem .
