Redemption Can Be Simple?


There are many long treatises in Jewish philosophy about ways of bringing about redemption and what this redemption will be like. But I read the following in the introduction to my English translation to the Ishbitzer Rebbe's book Mei Hashiloach. This is the same text I quoted from before this shabbos about not believing in "graven principles."

Listen:

"Thus through personal refinement in accordance with [a person's] illumination...he develops the consciousness of the presence and intentions of God. In this way, redemption is really just a change of consciousness."
