Two statures: body and inner soul

ואולך אתכם קוממיות ב' קומות.

"And I led you upright (komemiyus)" (Vayikra 26:13) — [the word komemiyus hints at] two statures (komos).

Chazal read "komemiyus" as alluding to two "komos," two full statures, which the Sefas Emes will now explain.

פי' כי ציור האדם הוא רק לבוש לאור נשמת חיים אשר בקרבו וזה דיש ב' קומות אשר אחר תיקון כל הקומה מראשו ועד רגלו אז זוכה לקומה עליונה החופפת עליו בשלימות תיקון קומת הגוף.

Meaning: the form of a person is only a garment for the light of the living neshamah that is within him; and this is [the meaning of] there being two statures — that after the rectification of the entire stature, from his head to his foot, he then merits an upper stature that hovers over him upon the complete rectification of the bodily stature.

The physical body is merely a garment clothing the neshamah's light; once a person rectifies his entire bodily "stature" from head to foot, a second, higher stature settles upon him.

וכלל הדברים דאיתא קוב"ה ואורייתא וישראל כולא חד.

And the principle of the matter is, as it is brought: the Kadosh Baruch Hu, the Torah, and Yisrael are entirely one.

The Sefas Emes grounds the idea in the well-known teaching that Hashem, the Torah, and Klal Yisrael are fundamentally a single unity.

ואיתא כי אית באורייתא סתים וגליא כמו שמא דקוב"ה סתים וגליא כו'.

And it is brought that there is in the Torah a concealed dimension (sasim) and a revealed dimension (galya), just as the Name of the Kadosh Baruch Hu has a concealed and a revealed [aspect], and so on.

Just as Hashem's Name and the Torah each have a hidden and a revealed dimension, so too will the human being.

וכמו כן נפש איש ישראל אית בי' סתים וגליא וע"י תיקונו הנגלה זוכה להפנימיות שהוא חיות הנסתר באדם.

And likewise, the soul of a Jew has within it a concealed and a revealed [aspect]; and through his rectification of the revealed [aspect], he merits the penimiyus, which is the hidden vitality within a person.

Every Jew's neshamah has an outer, revealed side and an inner, hidden side; by perfecting the revealed side, he earns access to the concealed inner vitality, the penimiyus.

וזה קוממיות והבן כ"ז:

And this is [the meaning of] "komemiyus" — and understand all this.

The two statures of "komemiyus" are thus the revealed bodily stature and the upper, hidden stature that crowns it once the lower is set right.

Summary: "Komemiyus" hints at two statures: the body is merely a garment for the neshamah's light, and once a person fully rectifies his revealed, bodily stature from head to foot, a higher concealed stature — the penimiyus, the hidden inner vitality — comes to rest upon him. This mirrors the pattern that Hashem's Name, the Torah, and the Jewish soul (all one) each contain a revealed (galya) and a concealed (sasim) dimension, and perfecting the revealed unlocks the hidden.
