ההרגשה היותר בריאהThe Soul's Healthiest Feeling

Return is not the soul's sickness but its health.

Against the picture of repentance as sickness or gloom, Kook calls return the healthiest feeling of the soul. A healthy soul in a healthy body must come to the great happiness of return and feel in it the greatest natural delight. A sound body expels harmful matter, and in the same way a soul that is whole, in spirit and in body, naturally discharges every bad deed, bad thought and distance from the divine. For every bit of ugliness removed, whole worlds of brightness open within. Removing a sin is like lifting an obstruction from a seeing eye, so the full horizon of heaven and earth reappears.
