All spiritual relationships - between friends, between husband and wife, between a student and his teacher, between the body and the Neshama - are based on the same principles. Each of these relationships are needed for a relationship with Hashem, one without the other is impossible.
Since these relationships are all interdependent, the concepts in this work will help to establish and shine light on all of life's relationships; they explain how one can make himself into a vessel for the Schechina (presence of Hashem). Many people thirst for a relationship with a teacher or friends, or to build a home based on a holy relationship. They will find something of value in this book. Only after a person has properly established peace in the home, with complete unity between himself and the one facing him, can he also create a true inner relationship between himself and Hashem. One who is in position of giving, is Godlike and embodying the function of Hashem, as he gives to his Schechina, to the one who receives in his own household, he is also connecting his home to his Creator, one beloved to another.
A break in one relationship causes a fundamental breakdown in the others. The Mizbeach (altar) cries, because the destruction of the Temple is the opposite of peace in the home and a built Temple in which the Cherubim are hugging each other in total unity. So too a house is complete with the presence of the Schechina and the blessing of Peace, when both parties are in proper relationship to Hashem.
The same goes for שלום בית, peace in the home, between the Neshama and the body. Many people seek this inner peace, and they will also find fundamental concepts that will shed light on that topic in this book. As long as the Neshama is unable to shine light on the physical with a smiling face, the physical will not awaken to receive the portion of Hashem above that is being offered. This separation prevents both from fulfilling their destiny. But when the bestower, i.e. the Neshama, comes happily to the physical in order to work with it, then the awakening from above brings forth a commensurate awakening from below and the physical happily becomes a home fit for the presence of Hashem, the light of the Neshama. The two enter a covenant to be recipients from the Great Bestower - Hashem.
