The Midrash Rabbah states, "Life and death are in the hand of the tongue...One can blow on the coal and bring out the fire within it, or spit on it and extinguish it." This means that the life force of Hashem is connected to this world like a coal; it is present but hidden. Every creation has an internal point, and through the spirit of Hashem that "He blew into man's nostrils," one can awaken the light of Torah, which is called "fire," present in everything.
