Description

Chapters 14-15, pages 35-36. At the end of time, physical creations will try to squeeze their way into the world, to move from potential to active. This is especially true of things containing the possibility for evil. Everything was created for God's honor and everything wishes to elevate itself to it's holy purpose. Therefore, the Torah commands us to avoid things that are potentially evil, in order to elevate them, instead of activating their evil part. This rush of physical advancement comes especially at the hands of the Jewish people. However, the complete redemption can only happen when the will of the Jewish people is pure. They must want redemption in order to connect to God, not for some ulterior motive, no matter how noble.
