Holiness Gives Hope

„The illumination of holiness comes to make everything great and eternal.”From Shemonah Kevatzim VII, 44

The divine light reveals the meaning that already lies within reality. Every conversation, every movement, every idea, every object, and every enterprise does not stand alone, disconnected and fleeting, but belongs to one great reality that has a divine root, an inner order, and a deep purpose. The closer a person is to holiness, the more he sees the world as a single manifestation of life. The small things are not erased, but are magnified, and it is revealed how they too are part of the eternal, of the majesty, of the divine character that crowns reality at its foundation. And consequently even difficult things that we go through in reality are not 'the end of the world,' but an essential part of the reality in which we live, from the supernal perspective.
