The True Chossid

אין חסיד אלא המתחסד עם קונו
The Tikkunei Zohar teaches us that the true Chossid is one who is kind to his Creator. Why is this?
One who loves one of God's creations, even if he is full of love towards it, his love is limited as it is is directed to only one part of Creation. To the rest of Creation he has no feelings of love. He is therefore not connected to the light of Chessed (kindness) which permeates all of Creation. One who is connected to the light of Chessed itself feels a love that is deeply essential and is not limited to a particular recipient of that love. One who feels love only towards those he loves, and towards others he feels no love is lacking the essential Chassidus, it is merely something that he experiences now and then towards his children or some other target of his affection.
True Chassidus is intimately connected with the Godly Chessed which permeates all of Creation with no limits. The goodness of Hashem and His mercy extends to all of his creatures. The same is true for all those who have truly connected to Chassidus. Love of Hashem is the root of the love for all.
