Insights of Rav Kook into the Aggadeta for Masechet Brachot 10a: the infinite distance separating man from his Creator and the impossibility of perceiving God; comparing Hashem to the Neshama of man; the antithetical nature of the relationship between Kingship and Prophesy and the reconciliation thereof. We will see how God actively generates existence for all of creation on an ongoing basis. This life-force is called מזון, and applies to the relationship between the Neshama and the material body; the latter receives its life-force from the former. Discovering Hashem in the smaller spaces of life. How man can elevate himself by praising God. The Nefesh of man as pure & good.
