A Hassidic Thought about the Sukkah

Note: I don't recall which rebbe first said this, but if anyone in Cyber-space knows, I will update this post accordingly, BEH
Q: How is The Mitzvah of Sukkah so unique [almost] - in that it shares a quality in common with only 1 other mitzvah nowadays.

A: Just like the Mikvah, the Sukkah encompasses our entire body. In the time of the Temple , we could experience being encompassed by the sanctity of the Bet Hamikdash, now we have only Mikvah and Sukkah.
