In the totality of the written and transmitted Torah

by Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook

               In the totality of the written and transmitted Torah and in the weaving together of all of its particulars is hidden the highest and most essential spiritual form [created by] the desire of the nation, from the aspect of the goal of its highest [level of] life. That form shines—in the totality of its comprehension and breadth, of its logic, of the styles of its declamation, of the outcomes of its perspectives—on existence, on Godliness, on the world, on humanity, on the individual, on society, on good and on evil, and on life and on death.
                The more that Torah understanding and recognition is manifest in the nation, the more is its soul within it well-founded, and its power of life rises up and grows splendidly strong.
Shemonah Kevatzim I 3
