The letter hei teaches us how to live

The hei has three lines, the line on top, the line on the side and the smaller leg to the left.
The line on top, represents thoughts; the line to the right, represents speech and the smaller line on the left represents action.
Why is there a gap between the part of thought and the part of action?
Chassidus explains, that though thoughts and speech may flow – action must have a second thought process.
For example, when I am thinking, I need not stop and ask myself if I am thinking, similarly, when I am speaking.
But when I am doing, I am descending into another realm.
Gone is the intellect from this realm.
Hence as Kabbalah teaches, all the details must conform to the intent.
Similarly, when I descend into the details, the action-steps based on my thought / desire – I must continuously ascertain that it all is consistent with my original goal!
