Yearning for Revelation

„Our soul yearns, and it is rich; a great and most glorious treasure is stored within it. We are full of the light of life, flames of splendor, to fill the whole world with light and rejoicing.”From Orot HaKodesh I:132

Much good is hidden in the world and in the people within it - an abundance of wealth and light awaiting revelation. And when this light bursts forth from within us, it brings immense joy to the world and immense joy to ourselves. In other passages the Rav details what causes this light and goodness to burst forth, the main key being the point of will and what surrounds it, which we expanded upon yesterday.
