Any owner of a soul, should consider his soul precious in his eyes. He should not worry about money so that he should not sin with his soul or gain merit for his soul, for a man will give all he has for his soul. He must be cruel like a raven to his body in order to give merit to his soul, for the body will be finished and wasted like a passing shadow, and all of the bodily pleasures are only temporary, they are worthless like toys. The soul, on the other hand, will return to Hashem and eat the fruit of its deeds according to its actions, be they for good or bad, and there is the true pleasure, the true honor and the true punishment, all according to the just scales and weights that are in the hands of the G-d of knowledge who is Hashem.
We dwell in this world like a guest who is on a journey and stops for the night to sleep in a hotel, where he will worry about nothing until he arrives in his house. This is the way that a person should conduct himself while in this world, and he should not worry about anything other than acquiring merits for his soul in the next world, for his house is there.
