In Hasidic Judaism, the popularisation and democratisation of Jewish mysticism was sought, so that common folk could also experience devekut through study of Hasidic philosophy, Hasidic storytelling, customs and Niggun song, and through attachment to the Tzaddik (Hasidic Master-Rebbe). With its focus on Divine Omnipresence, Hasidism discouraged asceticism in favour of sublimating the material into spiritual worship, accompanied by mystical joy, Bittul (nullification of the ego) and mystical love and awe of God.
