Description
Rav Kook's Shmoneh Kevatzim, Kovetz 4, p.116 (also in Oros HaKodesh). The difference between Am Yisrael and the nations of the world is like the difference between the neshama (soul) and the guf (body). The nations can only observe and order the information in the world, while we create the world. There are no symbols in Judaism, there is only reality. No matter what we do to the Torah in this world, the Torah stays constant and tahor (pure). When Moshiach comes, the joy of the nations of the world will be to imitate Judaism, and they will do a better job than they are doing now in trying to imitate Judaism. There were two basic perspectives in the ancient word - static - the pagan perspective, and dynamic - the roots of the Jewish perspective. The wisdoms of the world cannot actually change your life.
