„The illumination of holiness comes to make everything great and etern…”

The divine light, the divine reality, transforms our world into one of meaning. Everything has a cause and an effect; every creation has something that drives it and something for whose sake it moves.

Later in the passage Rav Kook explains that the more a person dwells in the divine place, in holiness, the more he sees and feels this great light, the one complete reality unfolding in our world. And the further a person distances himself, the more this wondrous reality vanishes from his eyes.

The nearness of God is what grants supreme meaning to our wondrous world.

Have a pleasant day.
