When Our Soul Sparkles

by Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook

When our soul sparkles, every time we learn, we look for the universal soul with its lights, which brought those very topics that we are studying into being.

Then the spiritual radiance is revealed with its richness of hues, and a person clings with his spirit to this light, which is the light of a primal, Godly life.

Then blessing increases entirely--on this person’s soul and on everything.

And then this person ascends upon the rising path of those who learn Torah for its own sake, because he makes peace in the heavenly assembly (the angels) and in the earthly assembly (Israel).
Arpelei Tohar
