When a great soul rises, it impresses a seal of an exalted reality, of purity and supernal greatness upon all being. That is the foundation of the concept of “the righteous person is the foundation of the world.” The pure and elevated soul is the inner core; all souls and all of their deeds, all the powers of existence and all the revelations of life proceed solely to perfect its being.
The world lacks a goal as long as the supernal soul does not shine upon it. And when it comes and shine with the light of its preciousness, the world is perfected, and the heavens and earth rejoice, like the joy at the time of their creation.
**
Those who are straight of heart, and supernal righteous people, know that it is they who are the conduits of the richness of life to all of reality. They feel the waves of the flow of goodness that descends onto them, and through them onto the world. And this feeling of theirs clothes them in humility and awe, and brings them to rise ceaselessly with a brilliance of mind, and with a preciousness of character traits.
