When a Jew is walking on the road and he sees his enemy's donkey, in Hebrew, donkey comes from the word chomer, "material." The soul sees her enemy, the body,
lying under its burden—struggling with the heavy load it is determined to carry through life, all the do's and dont's of Torah and Jewish law,
Help the donkey!—commands the Torah.
Don't leave him on the road, don't take the load off of him, help him carry it.
Don't leave the physical behind! (Hayom Yom, Shevat 28, on Exodus 23:5)
Be spiritual. Listen to Sarah. Listen to your body. Use it. Use your animalistic drives and earthly achievements for G‑dly missions. That’s exactly what G‑d wants from you. Baal Shem Tov chabad.org
"The world is built on kindness" (Tehillim 89:3). Therefore, the Sages' teaching can be understood as follows: this world, which was created with the letter hei, was created "through Avraham", whose attribute is kindness. The Tzaddikim arouse the attribute of kindness and draw it down to this world
