We have been talking about the purification of darkness. It is an illusive concept. What is there in darkness to purify? Darkness in the world appears to be a fundamental reality.

The worldly logic, or scientific outlook is all based on darkness. The purification is the nullification of the darkness as the fundamental reality, and that elicits the essence which is the real fundamental reality...


The world did not come from nothingness. It came from presence that is beyond presence...


The principle of mitzvoth is an inner struggle and subjugation of the darkness with in. Don't say I don't want 'non kosher food'. Rather say, 'I want it, but my Father said don't eat it...'

The significance is that the doing of the mitzvoth be specifically by way of subjugation. And only in this way is the higher intent fulfilled.
