Nefesh HaChayim, Reb Itzele's Long Annotation

Annotation: This is per the matter of saying “from the world and unto the world”496Heb.: meen ha-o-lahm v’ahd ha-o-lahm as they established (Berakhot 54a, and also refer to RaSh”Y there and on 63a in the comment that starts with “va-y’varkhoo”). And they stated in the Zohar (Va-yeitzei 158b): “All blessings mentioning the two worlds refer to the revealed and the hidden, and even so all are one…”, for it’s written: “Blessed are You, the God-Elohi”m of Israel from the world unto the world”—and this means from the extreme end of the spiritual world unto the extreme end of the physical world, because they are considered truly one.
