Feeling Kedusha

We ask ourselves, when we learn and daven a lot why don't we feel any kedusha. We don't feel any different? Shouldn't the presence of the shechina within us have an effect on us emotionally? Although we do feel different intellectually we don't feel any different emotionally or spiritually. Why?

The answer must be that because "Zeh Le'umas Zeh Asa Elokim" everything must be balanced. When we do Avairos we don't feel any different either. We can't feel any different because then we would lose our Bechira. If man felt spiritually unclean when he did an avaira that would stop him from doing avairos. Therefore the only bad feeling is intellectual. However, as a man becomes more intellectual meaning his Sechel controls him more he starts noticing a difference in how he feels intellectually and it has a real effect on him. That is why Tzadikim (I assume) are affected by avairos and conversely by Mitzvos that they do because they are more wholesome people that are controlled by what should control them which is the Yetzer Tov. An emotional person won't feel dirty by an aveira or good about a mitzva that he does because real spirituality in this world is intellectual control meaning the ability to be controlled by an objective mind.
