Part I; Likkutei Amarim, Chapter 4
The whole chapterא וְעוֹד יֵשׁ לְכָל נֶפֶשׁ אֱלֹהִית שְׁלֹשָׁה לְבוּשִׁים, שֶׁהֵם מַחֲשָׁבָה דִּבּוּר וּמַעֲשֶׂה שֶׁל תַּרְיַ״ג מִצְוֹת הַתּוֹרָה; שֶׁכְּשֶׁהָאָדָם מְקַיֵּים בְּמַעֲשֶׂה כָּל מִצְוֹת מַעֲשִׂיּוֹת, וּבְדִבּוּר הוּא עוֹסֵק בְּפֵירוּשׁ כָּל תַּרְיַ״ג מִצְוֹת וְהִלְכוֹתֵיהֶן, וּבְמַחֲשָׁבָה הוּא מַשִּׂיג כָּל מַה שֶּׁאֶפְשָׁר לוֹ לְהַשִּׂיג בִּפְשַׁט־רֶמֶז־דְּרוּשׁ־סוֹד הַתּוֹרָה – הֲרֵי כְּלָלוּת תַּרְיַ״ג אֵבְרֵי נַפְשׁוֹ מְלוּבָּשִׁים בְּתַרְיַ״ג מִצְוֹת הַתּוֹרָה.
1In addition,1 every divine soul (nefesh elokit) possesses three garments, viz., thought, speech, and action, [expressing themselves] in the 613 commandments of the Torah. For, when a person actively2 fulfills all the precepts which require physical action,3 and with his power of speech he occupies himself in expounding all the 613 commandments and their practical application, and with his power of thought he comprehends all that is comprehensible to him in the Pardes4 of the Torah—then the totality of the 613 “organs” of his soul5 are clothed in the 613 commandments of the Torah.
