Chassidic teachings tell us that ‘joy breaks through barriers’, and therefore, through one’s joy, everything one needs, whether material or spiritual, is drawn through G-d’s blessings into one’s life, and all limitations are transcended.... The word used for lighting is ‘raise up’, and Rashi explains that when he lights each wick, he should make sure that the flame he has kindled has caught enough to rise and burn properly. This also links with the idea quoted earlier from the Midrash, that G-d cares for each individual’s ‘lamp’, ie their soul, in return for the Jew caring for G-d’s lamp, meaning the Torah. One way is with a love for the Divine which flows like water, Chesed, Kindness; another is with love like flames of fire, Gevurah, reaching upwards, and so on. Thus Aaron helps the individual’s flame flare upwards, and an important way he does this is by transmitting Torah to the person and the community. The person studying Torah is together with the Divine, and we can imagine how awareness of this can induce a strong sense of bitul, selflessness. However, while the person’s ego dissolves and no longer hides the Divine, this does not mean that the person is annihilated as an individual. Some souls are able to preserve this love despite the fact that they descend into this harsh and dark world, dwelling in a physical body.
