(8) That is why the rabbis, of blessed memory, said that arrogance truly compares with idolatry,9โ€ฏSotah 4b. for the essence and root of idolatry is that it is regarded as a thing in itself, sundered from the holiness of the Omnipresent; it does not imply an outright denial of Gโ€“d, as is stated in the Gemara that they [the heathens] call Him โ€œthe Gโ€“d of gods,โ€10โ€ฏMenachot 110a. thus only presuming themselves also to be entities and independent beings. But thereby they separate themselves from the Omnipresent, blessed is He, since they do not surrender themselves to Him, blessed be He. For the supernal holiness rests only on what is surrendered to Him, blessed be He, as is explained above.11โ€ฏCh. 6. Therefore they are called in the holy Zohar12โ€ฏI:158a. โ€œpeaks of separation.โ€ But this constitutes a denial of His true unity, where everything is as nothing compared with Him and truly nullified before Him, blessed be He, and before His will, which animates them all and constantly gives them existence out of nothing.
