The Wonderful Tzaddikim...

by Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook

The wonderful tzaddikim…
This world has so many borders, it is so low, it is so constricted,
That it means nothing to them…
They are the source of beauty and pattern in life.
The beauty of the world glows
It rises in its splendor
Because of the radiant flow of their souls.
All of the artists in the aesthetic professions
Rise up, are refined, are blessed, because of their influence.
